Here's the page about it. I found mine to be hard to get a uniform bead seating on my Synergies. But after a short ride on them they seem to pop into place. Maybe different runs are better for Synergies? http://janheine.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/mounting-tires-on-rims-with-deep-wells/ -- You r

Hetres are a bear to get the bead set right on Synergy rims because the rim wells on Synergies are alleged to be too deep. The new run of Grand Bois rims and the A23 Velocity rims ((with Stan's tape) are touted as the solutions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Go

I say , if you enjoy it, clean as much as you like. RBW says replace the chain every 2,000 miles no matter what. I think I will try this and see how it goes. Not sure how many miles it takes to wear out a cassette. For the last year I think I have not cleaned a chain and only applied Boeshield

2014-08-18 Thread lungimsam
That's bizarre. You would think a derailer wouldn't break like that at that place because any pressure/ movement would make the derailer move, not resist and break. Does the chain sometimes jam between the big ring and the derailer when shifting into the large ring? That's the only thing I can

Pretty. And skinny looking, too! They say wearing black clothes makes a person look thinner, I wonder if the black is having the same effect on that bike. I wish they woulda done it in color pics though, to really enjoy the color. On Saturday, August 16, 2014 2:20:05 PM UTC-4, James Warren

Friction shifting requires snugging of the bolt from time to time. I usually snug them about once every week or two, something like that. I don't think about it or make a point of it. I just reach over and snug whenever the notion pops into my head, or the rear shifting gets funny. They stay put

So sounds like its doable if I wanna play with it one day. But costly, as I'll need new derailers and cranks, maybe bb and custom toothed rings. Maybe something to prepare as the wallet allows for future try out. Compass cycles Rene Herse cranks would be cool because you can change the rings wit
