These are the best of both worlds, and they are on all my bikes...there are a couple of versions, mostly about cost and weight. Double-sided, reliable MPD pedals but with extra foot/ankle support for stability. Also…

That's certainly an odd one. Any damage to the rim? Was it an unusually long stem?
11-->13 is a 1.182 ratio and 13--->15 is 1.154 ratio...this is a meaningful difference.

I used to mess around with shims, but they are a little bit of a pain to get every bike and every wheelset lined up. I have since removed all the shims, and use a simple 30 second approach to lining up the discs and…
Excellent point...I still have an ancient Miyata 710 that I'm occasionally riding with 28mm tires on a 15mm rim internal width (i.e. 0.54)
I have attached (one of many) a chart from a reputable publication...seems clearly that there is no "danger" in just putting any tire on any wheel. This is, however, a "buyer beware" situation, if you care about…
Since the big gravel tires already increase my fastest gear and since I despise the Shimano 11-34 arrangement (starting cogs at 11-13-etc which makes a giant gap when spinning downhill) I always replace the 11-tooth cog…
I have had a Shimano alloy wheel set (WH-R501 in black) on my single-owner early '80s vintage Miyata Team Pro (purchased the new wheels when I transitioned this ride to commuter about 15-20 years ago). They are a little…
Sure sorry that I missed this one!!!

I posted the process that I use to fit up new transmission setups in the thread...
It really comes down to just fiddling with it to see what you can get away with if you really want to "max out" your overall setup. What I do with a new bike/cassette/derailleur/crankset/etc.... - I advise that you…
Gasman, you have this rear derailleur - https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/grx-11-speed/RD-RX810.html it is just the Shadow Plus design (has several model name/numbers) so it is easy to get confused. Take…
Assuming that nothing is bent, and the cassette is rock solid on the hub (no wobble detectable even with force) then this setup should be good. The tension (B-screw) can be pretty important to find the 'sweet spot'.…
