My Homer has Rich Lesnik built 650b wheels with Pacenti SL23 rims. They have been running perfectly since I got them in 2014. Recently, I have been running them tubeless with Orange Seal and Compass Babyshoe Pass tires. Sweet ride and I love the fact that I get zero flats. But I wonder if I s

Make friends with the techs at your local bike shop. I've built about a half dozen bikes (including a Hunq) and still get confused. The beauty of bikes - especially the relatively low tech ones that don't have indexed shifting, internal cable runs, etc. - is that they're pretty intuitive; the

A corollary to this is to use an anti-sieze compound such as Perma-Tex Anti Sieze on anything that gets installed that will not likely be taken apart again for ages. This includes especially the BB, stem (both bolt & wedge nut and stem inserted), RD hanger bolt, seat post & seat post bolt, cran

Much depends on how experienced you are at working on mechanical things. Your question suggests this may be the first bike. If so, you may want to work on one you already have before taking on the Hunq. It's not more difficult; you just don't want to mess up threads, paint, etc. The BB tool

I would agree with Patrick in that setting up a drop bar way high might be counterproductive. Although I have seen quite a few done up that way, particularly on this list. Not sure how often those riders drop into the hooks, or if so, how effective that would be. Most of my riding the last two

Just wondering why you want to ride on the drops. On my drop-barred bikes, I spend 99.9% of the time on the tops. I move my hands around a lot to avoid numbness, but hardly ever ride on the drops. I have "upright" bars on one bike, but overall I prefer the variety of positions on traditional ba
