Some pics from my ride. Sorry my bike isn't in them. I'm riding a Silvio 2.0, it's about 13 years old with about 40k miles on it. Still...

The Grotac kit is very complete, including pads and several mounting bolts of different lengths. I've never tried to lift the rear...

Sorry to hear about your cracked slider. When you get your new one, about 5Nm of torque on each bolt should do it. Also, try to make...

I initially built my V20c up with TRP Spyre SLCs, and they worked fine. But I eventually moved over to the Growtac Equals, and they are...

Here's a few random thoughts: 1. On the greenway were some "going under bridge" or over wooden bridge spots where the instructions were...

An interesting idea. I kind of doubt that LB would do that, but I imagine you could find a carbon fiber craftsman who would.

I mentioned earlier that I build my own wheels. I source my rims from Light Bicycle, and one of the several reasons I like them is that...
