Did you just ShartQ?

Not currently. A friend gave me his old one a couple years ago but when I tried installing it recently, I discovered the threads on the brake were trashed.

oh yeah, that one.

Well here’s a 700c wheel fit in the back on the tandem:


Doesn’t look like it’ll work with these brakes

That should work with different brakes. Shimano CX70, or whatever in the parts bin is pre-1985 and takes smooth post pads.

Tempted to dither on this but also tempted to just get a 27” dyad and be done and back to cruisin’ around with sup. I’ve been pretty happy with the 27” paselas on it to be honest.

Dq: was there a report of a problem with Hayes cx brakes vs centerlock rotors?

Maybe on the freeza? If the pad tabs foul. Not Every CL rotor will foul:

There is a very small amount of interference between XTR centerlock rotors with the yuge spider and the calipers right where the brake pad tab comes out. I fixed mine with like 4 passes of a file. Would still recommend the brakes

Expert < pro ?

Pro has some drillium and alu hardware. so yeah.

pro also has crosshairs adjustment- two lil grub screws thst push against the mounting bolts to let you dial it in AF. seems superfluous but maybe kind of neat? if you’re into that kind of thing i guess.

Is there any issue running one of those threadless steel bullmoose bars on a carbon steerer?

threadleas wedge clamp puts all the force on two points instead of wrapping the tube uniformly.

And that could crack their steerer potentially?

Yeah, I wouldn’t do it. That vertical slit with the single-bolt looks designed to destroy carbon.

I had one that I was going to use but I decided against

Go carbon carbon

The Ritchey bars are pretty cool, unfortunately my friend doesn’t have a pair in his parts bin :grinning:
