ReRack is selling bike parts now?!
They have for a while, but seems to phasing them out. The Bontrager flat pedals they carry are an absolute steal.
Thank you, was just wondering if I should replace my SPD pedals because they are noisy and this is less than I just spent on the new cleats that didnât fix the problem
I have a pair of these and they work well.

Interesting choice for a barbell company
Yeah, thatâs really weird.
Also, the fork looks like it relies on a fiddly little tab thing to prevent wheel ejection. Seems like a bad design.
Eh, thatâs been around for eons as an alternative to lawyer lips and works fine especially for bolt-on wheels

Sure, itâs just an annoying thing that Iâm used to seeing on old Schwinns, not new musa bikes.

Fair. I guess they really wanted to use that thick plate dropout thatâs bent to meet up with the fork leg that way. Easy to do with a nice thick laser cut part. But adding lawyer lips would complicate the design and if you need a washer under the axle nut anyways, why not make it dual-duty?

grandpa got called to testify by people suing schwinn in the 70âs because he designed a retention device that they chose not to use.
âStanley Jameson, a former Schwinn employee, testified that in 1972he designed a âc-clipâ attachment for the front fork of Schwinn bicycles at the request of his boss, Frank Brilando, in order to prevent wheel disengagement.The design was incorporated into a patent application filed in December 1972.On April 30, 1974, a patent was issued for the design.Jameson testified that he tested the design and was satisfied that it prevented wheel disengagement.Schwinn, however, never used the c-clip design.A 1985 Raleigh bicycle admitted into evidence incorporates the c-clip design.â

Re: 28hole wheels
I bought a nice set of DT Swiss guys laced to 350s that are 28h⌠been on them like a year now. They are rock solid, feel great, no complaints (140lb rider tho)

TC i have never put a wheel out of true that wasnât messed up to begin with. iâve cracked or dented a few rims but that has nothing to do with spoke count.
mass-market musa bikes from the last few decades are ânew old schwinnsâ
