I have been busy working on new training plans combining Sweet spot base work with longer milage schedule for those aspiring to participate in Ultra events. With some acceptance that people have very little free time Mon-Friday. I was going to introduce them for Jan 1 but it appears we have a...

That would involve some filing of the inside of the fork for chain clearance; or using a waster on the axle to spread the fork about 2 mm. This is something only the really determined and experience should try. Best to start with 10sp and understand you'd need 2mm more clearance for 11 and go...

It is 12:40am I am 2.25hrs into a 2.5 HR trainer ride and we have reached the point that I have the 70s disco remixes blasting in the headphones and I am bike dancing. Yep it is clear I have a problem. You have been warned. If this keeeps up going to have to periscope our training room for the...

Indeed it often cheaper to fly first class and get free bike shipment (don't tell the, its is a Bike) than it is to go coach and pay to ship the bike

Friends don't let friends clamp their seat. First rule of clamp club is don't talk about clamp club

This would keep from from tightening the ones that are already good. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spoke-tension-gauge/id518870820?mt=8

Excellent Pluckyblond is also signed up to do the 12 hour; I'm working pit crew for her after riding the century; With two of us we could easily do pit work for 3-4 riders doing the longer stuff.

If you try and duck out; I'm going to kidnap you on my way through in the truck....

FWIW, if you follow the instructions you can skip that break in; but sadly the directions aren't obvious. 1) Lock out the brake with the built in locking screw on the bike. 2) Install cables and tension with the cable adjuster at the mid point. 3) release the lock screw 4) Loosen mounting bolts...

I'm using Schwalbe Tape now which is 25mm wide I plan to test Jason's suggestion to used Gorilla Duct Tape, for which the 1 inch stuff is = 25.4mm wide I suspect it will work

My problem was being too cheap to replace the rim strips with fresh ones when mounting Schwalbe One's That an that One's didn't stay mounted when deflated which is not cool

Tips 1) Get the right width tape for your rim widht (Measured by the inside width of the bead hooks). My personal experimentation leads to this: 15mm width = 23mm tape 17mm width = 25mm tape 19mm width = 27 mm tape 2) Double wrap the wheels with two layers of tape; that allows you to go up...

Out of round means they didn't mount into the bead shelf correctly and the tire is only 95% mounted. This will be a function of two things; the diameter of the tire and the thickness of the tape. Each tire and wheel combination is different, so unfortunately doing the first mount of any...

Making Dammit your "shift word" could be proble-matic :rolleyes: perhaps just tight it to labored breathing sounds....

The S30 has a 132mm drop out that means you should be able to use it on either 130mm or 135mm setup. I looked at the Travel Trac CF specs they don't say if it's 130 or 135 or both. My guess is that perhaps you have a Disc Brake front wheel that is 135mm and the TTCF is limited to 130mm the way...

That has always been the intent. Or update the bottom of the post with "SOLD" . The long time members are good at that; the fly-bys not so much but I encourage everyone to be good community members and maintain their ads.

Too little staff here and not a feature of the forum software as it is implemented today. And of course the obvious we aren't really geared to be Craiglist everything is Caveat Emperor. The general rule is if it's under a month old; asking can't hurt if it's had no update in 30 days it's...
