    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Sounds like Eric is on to something with burs from the slot cut. Probably machined in different groups or with out the knowledge that the clean up is important. That is something that likely will get cleaned up in round two of production. Try a hair dryer to loosen it up. When it is good and...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Very much so. The trick is the grease. I keep fixing bikes with loose head bearing stacks. Every time it's the same thing, not enough grease. Those bearing shoulders or if you prefer the little shelves the bearings sit on. Coat them with enough grease. Pretend your buttering bread, put enough...

    Just received my new T50 and needing some advice/help

    Indeed; if you look at the old silvio build diary the mallet was often accidentally captured in the photos. These days the mallet is full of itself and constantly photo-bombs my build photography.

    Fighting residual wobblies

    That was done as a relay race last time at the retreat. The race aspect maybe wasn't the best choice. Qx100's with 26 wheels were used to ensure everyone looked the fool on a bike not dialed in for them. I'm pretty sure we secretly erased all the smart phone recordings. This does tend to be all...

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    You have unlocked the derailleur tuning badge.:emoji_beginner: Starting in the middle is normal; limit screw takes care of the rest; if we'd been more awake someone would have pointed that out; go on ya for sticking with it and figuring it out; that type of knowledge always comes in handy later.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    Nice work Hardy; that looks better than the Q doing the same thing. Removing the suspension makes that a winner, and one heck of a lot cheaper than having extra v20's around.

    Fighting residual wobblies

    Eventually, Wobble will become Wiggle; with my head on the headrest it's pretty hard to wobble these days, lift my head off the headrest and the back is much more loosely coupled to the seat and I get get a nice Wiggle that lets me lay down more power to the road. While riding today and...

    Suspension Adjustable Headrest, positioning of

    1. Push legacy headrest in further. 2. Reverse the mounting bracket so that the bolt faces rearward and so the arm travels through and between the poles 3. Raise it up a little to compensate for step 1. 4. Then Follow Ricks bending instructions.

    New and Improved Headrest Clamp

    Put the second hole in; with just the one it will "Creek" under load which can be a bit maddening until you find it. I had to drill the second hole on one of our Silvio's and it was fine.

    Vendetta headrest

    Correct SAH = light; PAH is for perfect head position for short or tall (aka not averagE); and is super tuff you can actually "Brace" against the PAH, but in it's current incarnation it's heavy to be that tough; but again if you need it, it's not that heavy; just not going to make your internal...

    Deep Rims

    Now the problem is that Mavic is solving a problem that existed 3 years ago; Road tubeless has most of that all solved now; and it's going to be cheaper than UST. This is the reason UST failed in the MTB realm for the most part; too expensive.

    Deep Rims

    We ran Tubeless on RAAM through Death Valley...... "Orange Endurance" is what you want for that. After 3 days of +100F degrees and roads well above that temperature; every tire I check and repair for other damage had a full load of Sealant.

    T50 - whatcha planning to build.....

    The effect is on the chain line and it depends on whose BB you buy, but 113 should always work; it may bias the chain to the right, 109 might be fine for a single ring but bad for a triple. Everyone assumes Square taper is easy; rather it's more bomb proof; here's some reference to knowledge...

    S40 Build Notes

    Correct It's shorter. In the future, their will be multiple lengths beyond medium and long, but the details are pending, and there is the speed of ocean freighters involved in the additional so keep in mind that might be a hefty wait.

    New To Cruzbike and your T50?

    I think that speaks to the popularity of the Ventisit pads; seems like 3 out of 4 people go Ventisit.... Perhaps a transition of the default is required but that, of course, affects cost for customer and supplier. I'm not sure I'd have wanted that choice on a kickstarter project.... and nope...
