So I just mounted the Sensah cyclocross 1 by 11 on my Emeljay'd T50. I am trying out the inverted bullhorn bar method for now. Getting used to double-tap shifting.

Check this out. It is just a tiny piece that changes the cable actuation for mountain derailleurs to work with road brifters. https://bikerumor.com/2020/02/07/how-to-hack-a-sram-road-group-with-eagle-derailleur-for-massive-budget-mullet-gearing/

Check out this new Sensah cyclocross mini group Brifters and long cage, woohoo! It can take up to a 50 tooth. Only the rear is actually a brifter. The front is look-a-like. But apparently you can get 2 by 11 with long cage as well...

So I know there are adapters, like Jtek Shiftmate, to go between road and mountain gear. Is anyone here using one?

These are made by former Chinese SRAM OEM peeps. They a double-tap, 11 speed. The weird thing is they use SRAM MTB 10 speed cable pull ratio. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SENSAH-EMPIRE-2x11-Speed-Road-Bike-Groupset-Derailleur-Shifters-Mini-Set-/202689087189?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 That...

So I know a few of the speedy folk here are using deep section carbon rims. Does wind effect the steering at all? With the extra strength and damping of the legs, I would think any wind twitchiness would get just get absorbed and not really matter. Is that the case?

I have most of my parts now, and have figured out a 1.5 inch pivot and boom clamp.

I went with the yellow based on a couple real-world photos that have been posted. It is indeed the "Vendetta" yellow. Looks really nice. A far cry from the pale yellow shown on the product page. ;) Makes me wonder if the blue is also far more luscious then the product page image? Anyway. I'll...

I am curious what the OD of the boom slider is, and if the pivot clamp can be purchased separately?

Just spotted your bike today! Very cool to see another Cruzbike in Chico. :)

Curious to see such a beast. :)

How do these two boom approaches compare for stiffness? Is there a noticeable difference? I like the Q45 boom, but wonder if it's really any stiffer? The clamps at the pivot points are actually smaller than those on the T50. Anyone have these two bikes?

Is it possible to put mountain spaced hubs on it? 135mm and 100mm?

These are really cool, for the 700C crowd anyway https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/236528337/quickguard-full-length-bicycle-mudguard/description

When I tried out my Sofrider when I was buying, it was set up such that my elbows were very bent. This really decreased the leverage I could produce. I looked at arm position for the higher-end bikes, and decided that was best. So I Installed a longer stem so my arms at rest had about a 10%...

Good luck of the day. I was in the Goodwill yesterday and came across a set of brand-new Specialized Awol 29er sealed-bearing wheels. With a brand new SRAM NX 10-42 cassette. $30.00. I figured out why they were in the Goodwill when I got them home. The tiny retaining wire that holds the palls...

I don't have it taken apart right now, but did a week ago. The shock was not moving. Inside there were 4 set screws. Two flush-mounted ones about halfway along the steerer and then two more right above the flush mounted ones. These second ones has slightly raised head, but not high enough to...

Anyone have the measurements already for making a disc adaptor to bolt onto Sofrider dropout? Or an old adaptor that they don't need anymore? Mine is a Sofrider 2. I think the dropouts never changed though.

So I got reasonably good at riding the Sofrider today that I got yesterday. Already being a rider of a slightly twitchy highracer probably helped. After an hour I could do figure eights and accelerate to 25 MPH fairly easily. I think I'm hooked! :) It has the super long bolt to set the bearing...

I was pleased that I could immediately ride it after some initial seat/bars/front triangle adjustment. Even starting out in my rutted, dirt alley. Yay. :) The front shock is stiff to the point of locked out. Rides fine that way, but am curious if there is a way to maintain it for proper...
