Day 7 Continued - Loose ends. After the crank arms are on, you should check for left and right slop in the install. If the assembly slides back and forth (it will), you will need to add more pre-load. You do that by turning the right below until there is no more slop. If you turn it too much...

Day 7 - Don't be cranky (save that for the brake bleeding) Ok, time for the crankset. Both bikes are getting Rotor Aldhu cranks; as discussed in the engineering thread, these are simply my favorites, and the 1x I'm even more impressed with than the 2x stuff. One of the bikes is getting a Road...

Day 6 - laying down on the job. Ok, it's time to install the seat. I'm using the Cruzbike carbon seat for this build—first, some basic info. I have 20k+ miles on the stock seat and have one event on it. I like the seat for all things, excluding going uphill. After that, I have two full seasons...

Day 6 - Mock-up time A few out-of-sequence photos here have some nice details as we assemble the frame and install the seat. 1. Use the included through axel bolt to attach the wheels so we have so rigidity to the build. Store the include handy dandy wrench inside the axel. Amazing design...

Day 5 - Shoeshine (Ah, the fun of picking up a thread after four months; I feel like Patrick Rothfuss) Yes, the bikes were built in a week, not six months. When I went to the parts bin, I realized I was going to have to buy rotors because the ones I had turned out to be 5 bolt, and these...

1. Breathing: try to climb on a DF with your chin on your chest. 2. Torque; you have a xxx lbs of extra downward torque on a DF thanks to gravity. 3. De-loading of the off foot: The resting leg gets a micro advantage on DF. In the end, it's just about Oxygen uptake. That's the one place the DF...

They are the same, just tweaks like weeping holes and boom clamp improvements.

Hi Gkuch, Sorry for the delay; year end was a bit all-consuming. The bike is still available for sale.

19 hour drive..... Looks for training plans and mutters about not noticing this for 20 days...

Sorry about the absence and the late reply. My day job hit some snags. Before malleting anything, I'd email chris@realworldcycling.com with the details of the parts you are trying to use; there's a good chance he'll know what the problem is and what parts would solve it or if it's unsolvable...

He found a busy life.

The newest Cruzbike headrest is a equal substitute; I have them on the new bikes and Adem on the old ones; they provide the same durability and feel.

I have done social centuries on an old Q20 with even smaller tires and had no problem hanging with Pace lines doing 20mph; the Q's speed is a function of the tires... :)

Which Frame and Year do you have? 142 would be the newest bikes; and the 12x100 rear is universal.

LOL I'm holding the ban hammer ready; I don't want to block a human; kinda waiting to see how far the gag goes.

You guys don't spend enough time working with the AI Bots' I wonder if I can get ChatGPT to finish the diary for me since I can't get a break from work this month....

Same offer here; if you are in the Austin Area let me know; I also have the key bike types in the garage. So you only need bring you. Now the other part of my Roll; Moderator says: "Only discuss the bike for sales" no chatter.... exception in this case because yeah 30 miles. We want you to stay.

125 is in reach

You should be able to get a freehub conversion kit for your existing wheels unless they are entry-level. What type of wheel do you have? That might be enough; if you photograph the drive hub or know the brand, we can probably figure it out. For example, my DT Swiss 350 I converted to XDR for...

This is going to be fun; back to real-world events. Had hoped to fly out and surprise people that didn't work out, but we'll be watching closing from here.
