    Steadyrack Classic Bike Rack

    Our move from VA to NC left us with less storage space. The Streadrack seems to be an excellent vertical storage solution. For now, the trikes remain on the ground except for the beast (GTT). I used two riggings from HF.

    Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL

    This week I installed a Continental Grand Prix 5000 TL on my S40 (rear tire). While I have only about 30 miles on the tire; here are some first impressions. It is more challenging to install by hand, no tools, than a Hutchinson Sector 28. If you are patient and keep the bead in the center of...

    Strava Upload Issues

    Is anyone experiencing problems uploading their rides from Wahoo to Strava? The problem has occurred just this week. It may have coincided with a recent Wahoo firmware update, but I cannot be certain. I logged trouble ticket with Wahoo. RideGPS seems to loading correctly. Thanks

    Tubeless Tire Blow-out

    I experienced my first punctured tubeless tire. I was coming down grade into an intersection at about 30 mph when I hit some debris from a previous vehicle accident. At first, I was not quite sure what occurred, since the experience is much different than that of tube blow-out. By comparison...

    Shimano Ultegra/XT Mash-up

    Over the winter, I thought that I would experiment with a Shimano Ultegra/XT mash-up. The Shimano components include Ultegra ST-R8000 Shifters, Ultegra front derailleur, 11sp XT SGS rear derailleur, XT 11-40 CS-M8000 Cassette, DuraAce 11sp chain. Additionally, a WolfTooth Tanpan SH11 is in use...

    Smart Trainer Set-up

    I recently mounted my S40 onto a KICKR and noticed some front to back and lateral motion. (I have the trainer and bike on a thick rubber mat.) I am curious whether anyone has noticed rear wheel fatigue from the motion? I cannot tell whether I am unduly stressing my rear FLO wheel. Any easy...

    Dura-Ace Di2 DA-7970 System For Sale -$300 SOLD

    I have remove my Dura-Ace Di2 DA-7970 system from my S40 in favor or a system with a greater range. This is the older Dura-Ace 10sp system that operates in conjunction with a 11-28t cassette. The system works perfectly fine. There are some blemishes on the both derailleurs; however, it does...

    I know this has come up on multiple threads, but thought I would dedicate a thread on the topic.

    Cyclops H2 Smart Trainer

    Has any one tried mounting a S40 onto a Cyclops H2? I was at LBS today taking a look. It does not appear that the contours of the H2 can accommodate the S40 design. I know that the 2018 KICKR has no issues. I have narrowed my selection to those two units. The decision may be now be easier...

    Wolf Tooth Tanpan

    Does anyone have previous experiences with a Wolf Tooth Tanpan, https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/tanpan? I had planned to use a X-Shifter to mix and match RD and MTB components. However, delivery seems somewhat questionable, and this may be an inexpensive but mechanical solution...

    Water Bottle Loss Prevention

    As mentioned on a previous thread, I was experiencing my 25oz CamelBak water bottles randomly ejecting themselves from their cages when full of fluid. I received some great suggestions from Jason and others, but thought I would start with a simple solution. This less than $3 investment seems...

    Cracked Carbon Wheel

    I am starting to rethink this idea of carbon wheels, at least for the front. About three miles into my morning ride today, I hit a small patched area of asphalt heading up an incline at 25 mph (after coming down another hill). It was enough to jar one of my bottles loose, but I did not think...

    Cell Phone Storage

    I am looking for ideas/solutions for cell phone storage on an S40. I installed a two-pouched fanny pack on the bottom of the seat pan of my Silvio 1.0, which provided plenty of space and ease of access. However, I have not found a similar solution for the S40. I have the carbon tailbox, but...

    1X Drivetrain

    There are 1X Drivetrain discussions sprinkled throughout several threads. I am hoping to focus the discussion in this posting. This would include the use of elliptical and narrow-wide chainrings paired with the appropriate cassette. I am currently debating whether to simplify my drivetrain...

    Mount for Carbon Fiber Race Case

    Has anyone fabricated a mount for Race Case in lieu of using the supplied headrest mount tube? I want to experiment installing an Optima headrest (see pic) with the Race Case on an S40. I would rather not sacrifice the supplied tube. One thought was to use conduit and a tube bender. I would...
