There should be a total of 3 washers in that connection - all on the outsides: two on the sleeve and one on the bolt side. That will allow the clamp to pinch just the right amount to tighten so there should be no movement there. I also recommend a bit of grease on the sleeve.

Friction shifting is the best - hands down.

This depends on the brand and model of the DR mostly. Some long cages can only go to 36 tooth, some to 42 (even if the "stats" don't go that high) and some are designed to go into the 50 tooth range. It isn't just the cage length - the position of the B limit screw and how that can adjust -...

Correct. The external cup version. I recommend the mid tune - that is what is on the Q45... I have a heavy tune one coming to test out but am not sure what that is like yet.

Per Velo Orange: "Stack height is the total height, or thickness, of the headset, not including the parts that fit into the head tube. In other words, it's the vertical distance required to fit the headset. Stack height is important because if it's greater than the available space on the fork...

Yes - It will work on any and all Q45's as they all have a standard headtube. If your CB has a headset with "regular" cups a Viscoset "might" work. If it has integrated bearings (ALL hydroformed older models pre-S40 and also all older Vendettas and Silvios, S30, V20's old and current) it will...

The Viscoset will not work on the older hydroformed models or the current V20 - only the older Q's, current Q45, and the S40 as they have "standard" head tubes that use press-in cups. This is because on some models the headsets are integrated bearings - the bearing races are a part of the head...

Great report! I tested the Viscoset on an S40 and Q45 (and older Quest) for about 14 months before we decided to add it as a stock installation. It is a significant price increase from a manufacturing standpoint given it is a specialty item as opposed to regular headsets of which there are a...

I am widely known for being an early adopter for some things and a very very late adopter for others - especially things that I view are just fine "as they were" (like the QR wheel) Sadly the changes to these things are largely driven by the bigger bike industry forces at work - the component...

Thank you for all of this great input. We can look into a stock tire width bump - sadly in the "era of covid" the specifications on stock bikes are going to be taking a "it is what we can get in less than a year" approach - so these are times when half of a batch of bikes might be one spec and...

This is awesome. Robert

Or sweet! I am definitely interested in hearing about this if it works. Robert

That is looking fantastic!

Gary, Unfortunately the Viscoset is not compatible with any version of the V20 - past or current. This is because the headset on the V20 is integral to the tube itself - the bearing races are in the head tube - so there is no ability to press cups in. The Viscoset will only work with bikes that...

This looks really EPIC! Awesome.

Indeed it is - it is a standard EC headset. The "medium" is what I prefer and what is stock on the new Q45. Note it is a top only - so you don't actually replace the lower cup/bearing/crown race. https://canecreek.com/product/viscoset/

Ray, We hope to have a ton of the short ones on hand at the warehouse within a week or two max. Robert

Wow this looks fantastic. As for the seat mod that might be the cleanest I have seen and it looks plush!

You have now been indoctrinated - there is no going back And as you dial it in you will only get faster!

Nice video! The main thing I tell people to do is to relax but also keep awareness at all times. Your legs do a lot of the work including steering so I always advise people to not let them get out of control. Remember the rider is controlling the bike not the other way around. My main advise...
