I recommend hunting down a nice silver set of Ultegra derailleurs. I don't have the model numbers handy, but whatever's shiny and matches a 3x9 search. I have a Sugino XD crankset on my Sam Hillborne - running as a double with the inner two rings and the outer ring filed to a chainguard. Casset

I posted last month about doing a brevet on my Roadeo, and I teased about planning to do a September brevet on my Legolas. Toshi hinted he'd look for me. Today was brevet day and it all happened as planned. I did the Santa Cruz Randonneurs Moss Beach 200k in honor of the Centenary of ACP. I

Hi Thomas, thanks for the info. That is exactly what I did. I had to go get a new cutting wheel for my Dremel, but it worked out just fine. I kept the light on the fender, left the nut on the bolt and then cut off around 5mm. I cleaned up the trimmed end, loosened the nut all the way to help cle

I am sure that you are absolutely correct about the stem playing into it. I would actually drop this stem a touch but it's one of those overly long one stems and that is literally as low as it will go. I ordered a Nitto MT mountain stem which would have been shorter in length and angled up a tou

Hey Todd, I’ve had to do this too, and you’re definitely not barking up the wrong tree by trimming this. I simply threaded a nut all the way on, cut off my desired portion, cleaned things up with a file and then removed the nut to help chase the threads. Good luck! Thomas in Portland, Oregon O

[RBW] B&M Secula Plus mounting bolt too long!

2021-09-11 Thread Todd G
Hello all, I recently mounted a Secula Plus taillight to my rear Honjo fender. It seems the mounting bolt is too long and the tire will rub it periodically. I am confident that this bolt is the culprit as it is the longest by far. I want to trim it down some, but don’t recall if this bolt is r

I'll only add that don't limit yourself to just 28.6mm FD's. Nashbar/Performance bike sell 31.8mm Ultegra shims for about 4 bucks plus 2 buck shipping. On Saturday, September 11, 2021 at 10:27:11 AM UTC-4 ascpgh wrote: > I've watched all the responses since none of my experiences and > derail
