Did you just ShartQ?

[karl_dandleton]

i love my abus bordo centum. is it the most secure lock? maybe not. is it just fine and way more versatile and compact? yes. it’s no ny series krypto or whatever but i absolutely love it

[Rusty_Piton]

I use the abus bordo combo exclusively. I love that lock. It’s great for locking weird shaped bikes to weird shaped objects.

Thanks, I forgot that Shimano 9 road and MTB was same for rear (but not for front as I learned the hard way…).

Also duh, forgot about SRAM. Should have some more options to look for now.

There are a lot of cool combos you can do with sram but they don’t exist for 9 speed. I posted in the dangler wrangling thread earlier this week. 10 and 11 speed road and 10 speed mtb all talk happy to each other as long as its Exact-acuation.

Great to hear, thanks. You mentioned Abus too, I can get those cheap too thanks to German bike discount sites.

[Smitty2k1]

Abus supposedly has a grinder proof u lock coming out soon. Sorta waiting on buying my SON hub from Germany in hopes I can get that abus for cheap too

What’s a 9s Shimano MTB compatible trigger shifter without a display indicator? These stupid Acera ones I have take up too much bar real estate for this ebike conversion.

I see Microshift has one but it only comes in a L/R pair and I’m doing a 1x. Shimano has some old XT and XTR ones from like 20 years ago but $$$$

I might have one in my parts bin that has the indicator that is easily removed. Let me look later today.

[Smitty2k1]

Thanks I just ended up getting a Microshift Advent and matching derailleur

“Ultimate” winter (sometimes snow, sometimes ice, always salt) build ideas:

Dirt roads get wet and muddy and mucky. Big tires needed. Fenders too.

Originally I was thinking a Fairlight Faran with fenders and some carbon disc wheels I’ve got, but now I’m not so sure. Honestly I’m not even sure I need a fancy bike to zone two in the winter.

I just had a strange thought to do a drum brake…

What is the biggest 10-speed cassette I can run with a Shimano XT rear dangler, 10-speed Zee shifter, and a 42-tooth single ring? I have a wolf toot dangler extender that I can use.

[yonderboy]

The biggest I could go without a goatlink was 42T. The cable arm would hit the cassette with a 46T.

What size wheel are you running? I think 42T on 27.5 and 51T on 29 are roughly equivalent gearing.

[scrub]

It’s a 700 wheel, and the cable arm on the RD M786 was hitting the 46t cog with the goat link (and the chain length would need to be impossibly long) an 11-40 or 42 would be fine.

[yonderboy]

Ah, yeah. That’s the same RD I was using. I made it work with a pedal washer, but the shifting was crap.

I’ve got the Pooprad on 40x51 for the low gear, but it’s also using a 126 link chain.

[scrub]

The wolf toot and 32t/11-46 worked fine on the 26” wheel but not happening on the Cannondale.

[quilbert420]

are these post mount calipers?

[frank_doktor]

edit- lol. thought you asked if they were flat mounts, because picture took over my brain. So, yes, flat mounts.

[adem]

Flat mount, not post mount

…forward and I want them to point in towards each other and down to keep them out of the cargo area.I know jagwire has some fancy adapters for their hose kits but I’m hoping for something less bulky to use with bh90 on some tektro slates that use a regular barb and olive type connection at the lever. I’d be open to new levers if need be, but wasn’t there some Shimano banjo fitting that could be used?

Very late to the party, but after searching awhile ago Magura was the only one with banjos at the levers. Wasn’t worth the cost to switch. I think maybe Tune made some also.

[chazzwazzer]

Now for my own DQ: shimano 12s road cassettes, is the spacing changed from 11 or just bumped out? Is 11 of 12 a thing that would work?

[Face]

Thanks for bringing this back, I started looking at magura brakes for a quick minute and remembered that jagwire makes “universal” hose kits that use all kinds of fittings to adapt their hose to different levers/calipers and I wonder if I could use something like that to adapt a barb/olive flavor fitting to a banjo…

[Bootus]

How much better is the Linkglide stuff at shifting under load? Riding a mid-drive e-bike is different than a hub motor bike and I’m starting to want better shifting under load compared to the Deore 11-spd stuff that’s on it now.
