Ideally prices come down, but "deflation" is rare. Bikes will always be far too expensive for what they are. Bike tires will always be far too expensive, etc. It will take a massive recession to drop prices back down to…
Installed one November Bicycles .25mm spacer and the brake rotor is centered perfectly now without having to adjust the caliper. I am just going to get an entirely new chain for this wheel setup and size it…
Well.. is it a smoking or non-smoking room. I'd want to be able to finish my pack of reds before a 200 mile bike ride in the comfort of my room.
I don't think it was - I certainly didn't notice. I was weirdly close to the spokes, but I didn't think anything of it until I mounted the wheel and realized the issue. All good now.
1.85mm spacer worked. I still had to adjust the H, L, B, and tension a bit on the rear derailleur making the hoped for quick/easy wheel swap "wishful thinking", but the gearing on this Sunrace is a better gearing…
Wasn't aware this was considered a mountain cassette. #themoreyouknow
My bike came with a 11-42 cassette out back. Wanting to try the Sunrace 11-46 cassette, so I got me one. Installed it on a different set of wheels (700C), intending to leave the original 11-42 cassette on the original…
I don't have a Fairlight but I have a Ragley Trig 650B GRX from the UK that's pretty sweet.
Shop is fixing the caliper under warranty - it failed. I think they're actually replacing it. I get new pads included. Sweet!
Fair enough, but compounding with the issues I've had with this new bike I'm a little ticked off and critical. I'm waiting for the manufacturer to do the right thing before I explain any of that further. But on top of…
It was wet and certainly muddy as a result, but not deep mud. It was just basically dirty water that was getting on the bike. Probably sandy water. When I took my bike apart, not having sprayed it down with a hose or…
The brakes were good enough the entire race, except the rear was dragging. My MTBs have sintered pads since birth so I guess I hadn't thought to change out the resin pads my gravel bike came with. I didn't even think to…
I have had my gravel bike for just a little while, maybe 150 miles or so total. It has GRX 400 hydro brakes and GRX 600/800 drivetrain. I've done a few events, one of them a "real race" (which I medaled 3rd place in the…
Gravel Worlds occurred in Europe. Gravel biking effectively started in the US - everyone says that. So the first event was in Europe? That's insulting. Never mind the course...
Fried Clay 200K is $40 and so unsupported, you need a GPS to submit your time, there are no markings whatsoever, there will be no pomp and circumstance at the finish line, and it's smack in-between two firearm hunting…
