I just went out and measured. The ID of the dropouts where the axle goes is at 143. Both hubs od after the spacers and such are 135. Now I was using a different quick release which is somewhere in the grass where I locked up my front wheel so if it was longer it may have made it less trouble to...

I went to put my new front (normal rear) wheel on the front of my sofrider post chain dive and found that the dropouts are out wider than the axle. I never really paid attention before but I'd think if I had to widen the quick release as wide as possible to get the wheel in I'd remember. Is the...

Where can I get a rohloff for $4? ;) Ok if you really want to include all the new stuff which is really an upgrade to the lightweight wheel I had $174. I don't think I even have 174 miles on the cruz compared to 6k on the hurricane last year which was really only a half year of riding due to...

After my recent chain disaster I don't think I wanna ask the chain to engage the brakes too of course based on recent results it might want to :oops: After my pals at the LBS finished laughing at my wheel which I still don't think they believe it was simply the chain falling off and me coming...

I'm right now leaning towards a sturmey archer 8 with a drum brake and using a jtek shifter for it. I've always wanted to try an IGH and a drum so 2 for 1! I think I'm going to be dissappointed when I confirm I can't get a 135 axle put in a front hub that is either a dynamo or drum brake of...

Two more pics now that the cassette is off. I think it shaved a little weight all around the hub so might be an option if your trying to shave off the last few grams or something. Took a good bite out of one part I actually had the stops set so the bike would barely not let me shift into the...

Just wondering if anyone has ordered one or if I'll be hunting one of those all hanger sites or the LBS. Tonights brief ride went well on my Sofrider V1 Prototype Model after a hill climb I hit the shifter to an easier gear instead of a harder one and then whoops 15 broken spokes at 25mph. I...

I have a sofrider V1 (I'm told it was the prototype BROL had). Would the front fork from the V1 work with the newer framset? My main issue with the bike is seat height and I'm wondering if it would lower me down a bit? "Pick your components, paint over the intentionally-neutral white paint...

I posted this question on the bentrider thread a while ago but never received an answer so maybe i'll have better luck here. Basically does anyone who rides a silvio otherwise have knee/ankle or other joint/tendon problems? I am planning on consulting my doctor(s) about it before purchase but...
