- Road Wheelset Recommendations?
- Anybody have a good review/testimonial for a new road wheelset? I'm looking to spend $300-500 or so. As far as compatibilitie goes, well, I'm upgrading the whole drivetrain later this year, but haven't decided on the standard (leaning towards campy o...
- Is my tire ruined ?
- Hi all, I've got a fairly new Vittoria Diamante Super light tire with a clean puncture wound dead center from a piece of glass last week. During todays outing I got a flat and I realized it's because the tube was barely making contact with the road t...
- Modern Shimano vs campy for friction drivetrain?
- I'm thinking of building up a nice new road wheelset for my geared bike, using modern hubs, an 8speed casette, and suntour barend (friction!) shifters. I want modern hubs because the bearings are generally better, and because better quality casettes...
- 70's frame-- what to look out for?
- I'm thinking of building a bad-weather bike. I have the opportunity to use a Dawes frame from the 70's. I don't know much about older bikes, so I'm wondering if I will have trouble buying compatible parts. The frame is stripped right now. I'd like to...

- Stress?
- I have an old (14year old) steel frame something or other that I tried to clean up good. Upon real close inspection, I found two very fine rusty cracks where the seat stays meet the seat tube. It's on the welds, one on each seat stay. This bike was g...
- Waterbased Nelson clearcoat Trying it out tomorrow!
- I hope it works as it should. I think it'd be great if it did, then I would finally have achieved a complete non-solvent-based paint system. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't s*ck. (锕侊箒)~~~~---------------------------------------------------...
- tall stack height should I shorten
- Good afternoon everyone. last spring I built a Surly Cross Check as a commute machine and its worked out fine , I have one concern in that My stack height is very tall! most bikes I see have only a few inches at most, the Cross check has a bit higher...
- Recommend a Cassette?
- I have tried to do some reading at Sheldonbrown.com and a few other places but i mainly just got a headache. I am looking for a mountain bike cassette that may serve my needs better than my present 11-28. Last fall i switched cranksets and went from...

- clincher tires with an old wheelset (freewheel)?
- Does it exist? I found an old road bike that only had the rear wheel that can't be used anymore (tubular). It has a 5 speed derailleur with a freewheel, not cassette. so, what can I do? I was thinking of getting a cheap pair of wheels but I prefer cl...

- Attaching a rack
- I want to modify a Blackburn rear rack for the front of my commuting bike. I've figured out attaching the rack to the brake assembly using the thru-bolt below the fork crown, but need help attaching the stays. I've removed two of the four stays, leav...
- rebuilding Deore hub in a DIY fashion-- what parts, tools?
- I've never done much work on modern sealed hubs. Can I repack / rebuild a gritty Deore front mtb hub without a whole lotta hassle? It's sealed, right? Do I need a new bearing kit? Is this something generic, Shimano-specific or even Deore-specific? Do...
- Strangest Thing Ever...
- I am posting this here in case there is a logical/practical explanation that I haven't thought of. Today as I was unlocking my bike at the university I noticed a cheap mtb beside it with the fork facing backwards. The stem was facing the right way. T...
