    Me again with question about wheel hop

    Well, that's a suspect statement, unless physics are different on your side of the country. If the braking force occurs at the rotor and hub interface, how does it get transmitted to the rim? That braking force is transferred through spokes to the rim to the tire to the road. The spokes are as...

    Me again with question about wheel hop

    Disc brakes use the spokes to deliver braking force to the road; that's why they have more spokes than a comparable rim wheel; and yeah it's common for wheels that are not hand made to need a trip for re-tensioning. Oddly though I'd expect the problem on the front before the rear.

    Different Gearing Needed for Climbing Hills any Suggestions?

    FYI the 36 QXL small diameter is 33t. I find that climbs better than a 34t round. And as Jason note the regular Q 34 really isn't oval.

    QR skewer is fixed???!

    What they said, plus you burn through tires a lot faster in that orientation (even if you have a trainer that doesn't care). How do I know? I had our kinetic mounted that way and has ummmmm.... issues that requires $$$ to fix. You in good company in not noticing; it's not obvious; and then it is.

    Ah very respectable. Those are like the river valley I live in. Training and a 36qxl + 32 cassette should be enough on those really; it still hurts but that should do it. The problem with road grades is you look at a video from a gun camera and go oh that's nothing, you look at ridewithgps and...

    That disappointment you get when..

    Want to win a segment; make a new segment about 15 miles long. Most pacelines can't keep their house in order that long.

    S40 chainstays for the V20

    They are confirmed as coming to a cruzbike webstore near you ... but...... (there's always a butt).... there is a delay and the delay is because they are going to be better than what was on RAAM (better how?, sorry gotta trust me if you want these sort of answers to remain available.). So all...

    Training advice

    I keep mine so that if I'm actively pedaling my legs just barely don't touch. if I phantom pedal with sloppy ankles then they immediately hit the handle bar. I tend to ride with the arms with a 20degree bend. When were at sebring I got on the bike for the first time after winter tweaks; and the...

    Yellow Vendentta Silver Boom then I suppose? If so you can rotate the pivot clamp 180 degrees and get double the number of size options.
