Having a bunch of crunch noises lately on I wish bike brake manufacturers offered an option with less aggressive stopping power. With my current setup, even a light pull can lock the wheel. What I’m really looking for is more modulation - something that gives better control, especially when...

Yeah - Found one in the US!! So happy.

Ok - it took me about 45 minutes and 4 broken levers to get this SS Gravel King on my rear wheel. Had the bead in the well all around - even had both beads in the well and still couldn't mount the tire. Finally got it on with many attempts and luckily didn't pinch the tube. Seems to me...

Next time I pull the seatpost, I’m going to try using electrical tape -- just wrap it so only the screw head is exposed. That should do the trick. Last time I dropped the piece, I ended up taking off the wheels and chain, then flipping the frame over and shaking it out. There’s actually more...

And then please compare both to thumb pressure.

Still using tubes as well but not TPUs - do you like them?

They're SS' - seem fairly similar to the pathfinders

Stefan - I should go to 38tooth but my bike is perfect as it is in my opinion. Changing anything is an issue for me. Just giving up my Pathfinder Probliss 38's has me worried as I transition to gravel king 40s this season. Every change has a minor affect and worried about the sum of all of...

Just wish WT would make a 104 BCD 44t - and Garbaruk doesn't sell to US. So, I replace my chain - a lot. Only get 5 or 6 months out of one or about 1500 miles. Starts dropping like crazy - thank goodness for clutch but can only do so much. Have thought about getting chain guard like a Creo...

I'm originally from Jersey and we called the sea - the shore. And now in North Carolina - it's the beach. Me - I head to the ocean, mostly. Can everybody sea that?

That's an awesome place to park. VSL is really the perfect bike.

I think it's the Dihydrogen monoxide. And what's wrong with squeaking a bit. Especially coming back from the beach.

Putting on new pads takes a couple minutes and it's just a screw and maybe a Kotter pin. And squealing can be the type of pads you're using. And if the pads are a bit wet.

Headset service. Was starting to sound crunchy and with good reason. There's a sleeve inside that keeps the cabling at the edge. The 'duckbill' had loosened up probably about 8000 miles ago and I reset the bearing load at that time and cleaned it. So it's taken several years for the stuff to...

Have a dropper on my LevoSL and like it. The frame sits really high for ground clearance so I need the dropper to get off/on. And - declines of course, great for that. For my VadoSL - I don't need it. I can mount/dismount since the frame isn't made for clearance and I just belly the bike...
