Learning the Yaw is liking walking into the cold pool on a 90F summer day.... it's only painful if you delay taking the plunge

<begin Mad evil laugh> Oh, thank goodness my mind was going to explode holding that one back. Guess you all find out so; there are going to be a lot of very happy fence sitters.... Never underestimate what you overhear at trade shows.... of course then you have to sign the non-disclosure stuff...

Also a picture of yourself on the bike will help the rest of stop if you have something obviously out of position that might cause pain.

Welcome aboard. Chronic Arthritis in my hands. ibuprofen was a requirement for the first 2 months of riding; then the muscle developed and I stopped fighting the bike. This was pre-training instructions so it took a long time to figure out the wrong and stop doing it. You should be able to...

Disc brake.... not disc wheel; is that how you read it? 60mm fronts.

Here you go: http://tailwind-coaching.com/2013/04/26/installing-sram-yaw-front-derailleur/ All the new 22 gear SRAM stuff is YAW as of this year. The number 1 mistake I make is to install the cable with the shifter in the wrong position. Did you run the wire through the pulley or old school...

Try now; our spam defense is a bit tight.

The RAAM bikes will have Front Disc, and Rear RIM brakes (it's a weight thing) it'll be 160mm center lock rotors. I will probably have a lot of posts on the tech after the race; right now much of it is top secret.... or may I'm just too busy to even have time to post. The orthogonality gets...

Couple people have done it in the past on the Q-series. The dropouts are equal to "vertical dropouts" so you would need a chain tensioner; like the surly Singulator. Moving the boom would be too imprecise for tensioning the chain, and it would mess up your fit. But if you know what you're doing...

Yeah, I can understand that point of view, but a Trek Project One bike at $12k come with a seat most people throw away. The number of people that keep the stock pad is surprisingly high. Those foam ones don't drive up the price of the bike; adding a Ventisit to the base products just mean some...

The boom looks like it is out too far but might be the correct length. For the first adjustment, Bring it back 1 inch without shortening. If that results in the handlebars too far back at first you can compensate with your arms while you while you get the feet settled. Once the feet are good...

When you as fast as Larry no one gets a good look at your jersey any how

With the pcs 9. Clamp the boom. Leave rear wheel on ground. If you need it higher put an orange five gallon bucket (aka orange Home Depot style) open side up to hold the wheel. If you need to work level put bucket under each wheel

And then there were 2.

We have thawed, now if I can escape RAAM prep I just might be able to get the bike on the real road instead of the virtual one; there last 5 weeks has been brutally bike free.

Just got the new test FLO-90 all carbon wheel on Tuesday. This one is to correct the problem discovered in November. The results are in: 1 wrap of Schwalbe tubeless tape 1 brand new Pro One 700x25c Dry mounted; seated with just 110psi Perfect seal without sealant The wheel is solid and stable...

if you are too short you can't make the boom short enough as it's long enough for very tall people. if you want to shave weight you ones you know your favorite length you can cut the inserted portion of the boom down to 18inches without compromising the stiffness. but that does limit the resell...

Agreed;.... Key points that only make send after you made the switch The lubing factor is for between the plates that rub as they pivot on the pins. The dirt removal comes from the wax flaking off and removing the abrasive dirts from the system Rollers are polished and hardened they can...

that's not unreasonable; at 5'9" I take more than that; leaving just roughly 18" of insert; but you won't go that far until you have gotten her dialed in.

Just so you know IIRC Robert Pretty much refers to the Sigma as "danger bike" known to be "rider hostile" the rack and trail no so kind on that bike. but heh it was round 1 rev 1.
