    FYI: Forums Organization Pending.

    Tribes exist in virtually all areas of the world; they are not limited to Native Americans. There are tribes of many ethnicities, including Caucasians. 'Tribe" can imply a group of one's choosing and also implies acceptance and loyalty. That seems to be the use here; it is not a condescending...

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    Yeah that front derailleur cable on my bike is looking pretty gnarly. My Park Tool predates my awareness of good old Pedro's Amen to that!

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    Thst's exactly the one I used. It is indeed a very good video. I just took the liberty of modifying one of Daniel's steps :)

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    Tried using the barrel adjustor. No dice. Tri front....sounds even more complicated. I lean towards NO front derailleur! And I'm a Scot descendant cheapskate ;)

    SoftRider Replacement Handlebars

    Briefly, I wanted something like bullhorn bars, since they seemed like they would be the most ergonomic IF they could be set nearly vertical to keep the wrists straight. For me this has turned out to be the case. Very comfortable, great control of the bike, and affords several hand positions...

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    More SRAM Yaw stuff, aka The Devil Is In The Details For Sure (warning--this is a wordy and boring read but this works, this is THE SECRET) :D: After developing a creak in the front of the V which turned out to be the headset--the bolt that goes into the star nut had gotten a little loose--and...

    What did you discovered about your Cruzbike today

    I think I understand what you're describing. Mine are still rock-solid. Hope the hot glue takes care of your problem with the cleats moving.

    What did you discovered about your Cruzbike today

    Wait....what am I missing here? My Frog cleats are held in place just with the screws that came with them. They don't move about. I must be misunderstanding something.

    Q-ring/front derailleur issue

    to redo a yaw, go to the Art's Cyclery SRAM Yaw video on YouTube. (take notes! :) ) I've had to redo Yaw FD's several times due to switching them out on different bikes. Not to mention goobering them up due to my mechanical ineptitude. 'Daniel' for Art's Cyclery does a good job explaining...

    Large or standard ?

    I'm a 41.5" X Seam and bought the standard. The bottom bracket height above seat level is just a tad higher than it was on the bacchetta carbon aero that i had previously. Seems just right on the Vendetta. Just my $0.02.

    2016 Calvin's Challenge video

    Absolutely amazing! Poor old Piston Legs Billy wasn't banking on Turbo Legs Larry! Did Billy take second or was he actually a lap behind when he passed you? Congratulations yet again, Larry, not only on the splendid victory but on your dedication to training, fitness, and to your faith. Well...

    No latex Gaadi's that i could find :p I don't know how they would feel, maybe bumpity bumpity bump bump....it would just be to limp home on rather than take the front wheel off in a ditch again! When i ordered them i couldn't find a 700c presta smaller than that 28-35mm, i sure would have...

    Looks like it was jslipscomb who introduced them to this forum Sept 20, 2015 on the Silvio Brag Board. I got mine through Amazon. Looks like they still only have the 700c presta valve in the 28mm and up sizes. My tires are 28's on both bikes.

    You're welcome, Lief, but I can't take Guru credit for something I learned on this forum! Gaadi tubes were introduced on here awhile back....I need to do a search to remember who was the real Guru. If I can find the old post I will give credit! But they are cool, aren't they!
