Torque is 5-7Nm. Park Tools has some good videos. You'll need a torque wrench with a crow's foot attachment to fit over the hose. I use a small 1/4" extension and then put the crows foot at 90 degrees to the wrench so…
Sweet bike. Could you post a pic showing the clearnace of the rear tire at the chainstays? Also, what's the zip tie for at the bottle cage? Total weight? MattShep wrote: Meet Fat Ass Bertha or FAB Bike for short. This…
As long as you have a long steer tube plug, you're good with the spacers. Get the longest one linked below and you can be confident. Personally, I think long plugs are essential on gravel since you have a lot more…
Twowheeler, what color codes did you use for that paint job? Looks really cool! Dan TwoWheeler wrote: Not sure if 48-31 helps you, but, here….
I've repaired a few sidewalls and they are all solid. But only if you do it this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt4J3nq2_Gs
Sweet bike! Where did you get the *red* Shockstop stem? Dan Point wrote: Here’s a few quick phone shots of mine now all built. Just needs the saddle position tweaking and steerer cutting to final length. I’m super happy…
Nice build. What saddle is that? Link? SilverSteve wrote: The bike was painted by a friend and the color is Pantone 7534 C. Here's a few more pics of the build. I'm about 95% finished. I have some vinyl decals left to…
Really hope you either have a 60mm steerer plug, or you cut your steerer ASAP, because that spacer stack is huge and a recipe for dental damage. Still, nice build! salami wrote: Mine is built. I basicly swapped my old…
By FAR the best cable pull disc brakes I've ever used and I've had a lot of experience with Spyre, and Avid BB. As always, definitely use compressionless housing. Brake pad is same as Shimano Saint, I believe. Note: On…
Got this one and absolutely love it. There's a smaller one called the Aero 30, but it actually weighs a little MORE. Holes line up really well with my 696, size 58 and straps are removable, so it looks nice and clean.…
40mm is absolute limit, see Velo News article linked here and quoted here: 2) Always use spacers above and below the stem. Although less obvious than correct torque, a minimum of 5mm and a maximum of 40mm spacers under…
I use this for all my bikes, chainstay, cranks, anywhere. Cut to length and then round edges with a fingernail clipper or scissors.…
21 gear-inches isn't close enough?
I run a Chinese ZTTO 9-50 cassette in an AXS mullet setup with a 38 chainring and love it. Every gear in the world and I don't mind the gaps. In fact I prefer larger gaps off road to get through gears quicker. My…
I put a regular water bottle cage and then I put a tool holder from Xlab. It is small, which I like, but you can easily find longer ones.…
These work well to cap off holes. You could also easily poke a hole in one and/or make a slit to accommodate the Di2 wire. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333448772999 I ordered a few sizes as various holes are different…
I am a medical professional: Ortho surgeon lower extremity specialist. I agree that you should see someone local for your numbness. With regard to feet/shoes and high arches, I have a few recommendations. First, most…
Go tubeless, or try Tannus Armour inserts with tubes, which actually allow you to still ride even after a flat. If you're interested in trying the Tannus inserts let me know, I have a set I could sell you for cheap. Dan
Seraph frame maxes out at 40mm tires. I had a similar Chinese frame that I raced on for over a year. Was able to fit 45mm on front, but was always frustrated by limitations on back. Otherwise very good if you want a…
$719-759, Carbon rim, 1255 grams with 26mm internal width and Novatec hubs (includes shipping). I have been running the DT350 version of this wheel (better seals if you ride in rain and just plain better hubs) and it…
