Hi everyone, I recently converted my Hunqapillar from a speedy, drop-bar, slim-tire configuration to a more comfy, upright, fat tire configuration. I’m very happy with the final result, but now I have some extra parts laying around that I would like to sell to offset the costs of the Hunq’s

I just installed the Choco-Moose bars on my Hunqapillar after years of riding with Noodle drop bars, but I don't have the brakes or derailleur cables set up yet. I will do this later in the week and then get back to you with a ride report. -- You received this message because you are

Hi David, Are the Choco Moose bars still available? > > Are they in great shape? If yes, then I'll take 'em! I have been thinking about taking off the Noodle drop bars from my Hunqapillar, and putting on something more upright and comfortable. I';m hoping that the Choco-Moose will fit the bill.

Bobby, It's all about simplicity. I used to ride a bike with all the different gears, a Garmin GPS to track my mileage and speed, a cadence meter, etc. I just got sick of all that extra stuff. On my new bike, I originally had the double chainrings, but I was never using the big ring, so it

I recently learned about the new Jan's new Compass tires, and I bought the 700x38c Barlow Pass version, with the extra-light sidewalls. Only had a chance to ride them once so far, but it felt like an improvement over my old 700x40c Schwalbe Marathon Duremes. They felt like they would spin-up

It makes me happy (and a little sad) to see folks recommending VeloCult. I discovered this shop only a few months before they moved out of San Diego, and I liked them a lot. The selection of goods was very unique, nothing like other stores in SD. Super friendly guys, especially Tom the

I have been running the Shimano CX70 brakes on my Hunqapillar. These brakes definitely clear the front fork when opened wide, no problems there. Set-up was easy, but I have to run the brake pads really close to the rims to get good stopping power. I used barrel adjusters to dial in the

Jon, Thanks for the advice! I did not know about that tension adjustment hole in the rear derailler. My setup is dialed in perfectly right now, but if the chain gets slack over time, it's nice to know that I can adjust the RD spring tension instead of messing with the chain length. -- You

I will add an additional data point regarding BB size for the Hunqapillar, for anyone stumbling across this thread. My Hunqapillar has a Sugino XD2 double crank, which originally had 34-48 double chainrings. The bike was sent to me along with a Shimano UN55 68x107mm bottom bracket. Upon

I originally set up my current bike with an 8-speed cassette and Silver friction downtube shifters. I could never get the hang of it; it was just too fussy to try to get the proper gear with no rubbing. Going down to 7-speed cassette would not offer much help, since 7-speed and 8-speed cogs
