I'm thinking of converting my rear 140 flat mount brake to 160mm so I can use shimano SM-RT86 ice tech rotors front and rear. Is there an adapter for this conversion? My hubs require 6 bolt rotors or I'd pick one of the…
How about something like this? Anyone tried it? http://www.axiomgear.com/products/racks/flip-flop-racks/flipflop-lx-seatpost-rack/
I have a Ridley Xtrail that I'd like to start commuting on. There are no rack mounts. How well do the seat post mounted racks work? I have an alloy seat post and weigh about 150 lbs so I'm not too worried about over…
Thanks for the advice. I ended up getting the Ice tech pads. They were only $7 more and I figure brakes aren't a place to be cheap. I've also read the pads last longer when they stay cooler. When I replaced the cable I…
Hi, I'm planning to get a spare set of brake pads for my Shimano BR-RS505 brakes. They came with K02S resin pads, but I see I can also buy L02A Ice-tech pads with a built in heat sink. Is it worth the extra ~$8/wheel?…
I just test rode the 2017 Roubaix. There's clearance for 32mm tires now. It felt very smooth with the stock 26mm tires, but all the shop employees run wider tires and claim there's no speed penalty.
Great thread. I commute on a Lemond Poprad and am shopping for a modern version of that. I'm looking for thru axle, disc brakes-ideally flat mount, rack mounts, and 40mm tire clearance. Ideally shimano 105 level…
Hi Rafcom. Mine is set up pretty similar to my road bike, fairly aggressive. Do you have another bike that you can compare the reach and stack measurements to? Are you able to test ride it?
Hi Rafcom, I'm the same height as you with slightly longer legs. I got the medium and am happy with it. I figured I could swap out the stem and get a set back seat post if needed, but the stock components seem fine.
Thanks for the advice. I rode up the John Nicholas Trail off Black Rd to Skyline and enjoyed it. Shady, not too technical or steep.
I'm the proud new owner of a Ridley X-trail. I've done a few rides around El Sereno and Lexington reservoir. Can anyone recommend other routes?
Regarding the discount, my company provides us a Passport Unlimited membership and I get a discount through that. This is a tough decision, I planned on getting a Ridley CR1 when Performance Bike has another 30% off…
Thanks for all the feedback. I'll probably pick up an X-trail next time they're in stock and on sale. Any recommendations for a second wheelset for road use? Here's an option for high end.…
Here's my dilemma. I currently have a steel Lemond Poprad set up for commuting with a rack and lights and an aluminum road bike. I'm thinking of getting a Ridley x-trail which would replace one of the bikes and also be…
