DEALS DEALS DEALS

I’m a long way off from actually building these. Need a bike to know hub stuff, right? I’m assuming I get some kind of thru axle bike next but it’d be nice if they’re compatible with my GT.

How are rear triangles spaced these days and how swappable are QR and thru axles? Most likely scenario is a dyno front wheel and a back wheel each for my new hypothetical 11s thru axle sram bike, and my current shimano 9s QR bike. But if I can make a set that works with both bikes with a single pair that’d be nice

is this deal over?

Or am I getting 650b crabon rims for my track bike?

these are still available: https://www.the-house.com/qpup7a32cbr275bkzz-pub-bike-rims

Are these safe for mombike with baby seat?

Bikes are inherently dangerous.

I just needed someone to say they’re not safe so I don’t go down the rabbit hole of a carpet fibre, dyno hub , 1x12 Kona Coco.

Good book, but for some reason, every time I follow the instructions as well as I can understand them, I end up off by one hole.

Sheldon’s instructions got me on track, though these days, I just go from memory, usually.

you have to get brandt to show off on the book shelf and pull up sheldon on your phone when you need to look at the color coded pics to jog your memory

i mean how hard is she gonna go? i don’t think these are at risk of inherently exploding. though i haven’t built mine up. i say buy them for <$50 and if anyone says theirs exploded, save it for when you get sol for your scantron. JUST KIDDING THROW THEM OUT BUT IT WAS ONLY $50

Can someone post a photo of this so I don’t have to try to Google it?

Here. I googled it for you

PBK just announced they’re closing, so would expect some deals to be had there in the near future

what’s happening with these shops? brands enforcing tighter price restrictions making them go out of business?

Pbk has been on a downward spiral for a while IMO. They’re not able to compete with wiggle/b24 on anything othet than price and that just means they can’t make any margin.
