    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Only challenge is that the dead spot is just a tad past the full extension point; this because you are getting a minor assist from gravity as the leg heads to the dead spot. You have to observe how far the leg "falls" before the pedal starts to catch it. (5-8 degrees past full extension seems...

    It's Mallet Season

    yeah they've been a busy installing some new equipment so a little slow to respond. If you keep the XD-15 you'll need: a 24 x 1mm and 24x 2.5mm for the drive side. http://enduroforkseals.com/id433.html if it shows up an the bearings all feel good, then keep it. if not send it back.

    It's Mallet Season

    I get the Xd-15's from RWC who gets them from the OEM in California. RWC doesn't have inventory right now because they got 15 units in and between bad seals, un-smooth races and bad bearings they were only able to shuffle the 15 into just 2 good working units. RWC has been essential at getting...

    It's Mallet Season

    That's up to you Kurt; the $99 will be more resistant to rust as it's all stainless. The $129 will be faster because it's ceramic; but the races are Chromium so they will rust over time if they are in the rain all the time. So let your riding plan guide you.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Oh I remember that; I was looking at pictures of your white bike and I thought it was an optical illusion. that the boom looked small. The reason for the slot is to the metal can "deform" in a predictable and consistent manner under a clamping load; that prevents the tube from "buckling"...

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Bladderhead has an S30 with the new version of the silvio booms. That works it's usually just not effective for many people. The Boom (the end by the bottom bracket) will bottom out for most people when it hits the water bottle braze-on bolts in the Slider up by the handlebars. If you cut the...

    Skewers?

    Buy them based on what "standard" tire they support in the df world. IIRC 100 mm tire size for the V1.5 rear. 135 mm tire size for the V1.5 front BUT wait for @Robert Holler to confirm; because there is something odd about the V1.0 or V1.5 and it's slipping my mind.

    Let's talk wheels

    Agreed. These days it's pick your budget; then pick your style (tube or tubeless) then pick the brand / builder that does it right, for the price you can stomach. Which of course means you spend more time on it than you hoped but not as much as your feared.

    Any T50 news?

    I think he's simply referring to the over lap of the fork + chain stay + 135mm wheels has pushed the skewers length to non standard. Prior to support 135mm wheels a Skewers from at 135mm wheel was enough to service a 130mm + the overlap.

    What did you do to your Cruzbike today?

    Slider is up by the handlebar; boom is the end by the feet; just to keep people from getting confused; Cutting the slider not recommended; cutting the boom is a safer bet.

    It's Mallet Season

    Me..... Pluckyblond's bike is orange highlight and they don't make an orange one. My V20 is getting a face lift with read highlights. I need the red to make me fast enough to keep up with the wife.

    It's Mallet Season

    Yes; there are spacers now that make it wide enough to work with the cup clamps and there have been serious quality control problems with the XD-15 which comes from Enduro and not RWC.... There is other stuff coming soon that will make this doubly wise; I'm just a bit in front of this one; and...

    Little tweaks

    That's how I use to lower my Yellow boom too; when you realize it's reversable the light goes on. Of course then you try it on the new ones and find out it doesn't work.
