in all fairness, sometimes the thing is printed off center

maybe he knows your right shoulder is slightly wider
Front f/f, rear wheel, handlebars, rear frame, front wheel.
DT hubs or a rear wheel with a removable cassette body would be real helpful.
Ok, there is a frame from a famous builder for sale. This frame has a broken QR dropout. On a scale of 1 to jackass, what is the opinion on buying the frame and swapping the dropouts for TA disc? And would this be âgood money after badâ
How much is the frame going for?
$300
Who is the builder?
Ignoring âvalueâ, I think itâs fine, not JA at all. Itâs like having track ends brazed on, which I also support. There are plenty of bikes to go around, youâre not ruining some precious object.
ANSWER THE QUESTION @LASER_BEIGE
Do it. And if you have a certain local frame(re)builder do the mods theyâve got another frame of yours thatâs been lying around in their bike mess that theyâd love to release from bike prison
Letâs chat travel bikes
Get me into which crankset has a drive side that can be removed without âresettingâ the preload
Is there a road version of the splined sram? Thatâs one tool on and off and solid
driveside separate from spindle?
That would be preferred because the chainring/arm can get in the way.
Isnât that ISIS youâre talking about?
Setting the preload on a dub crankset is trivial at worst. Same with Shimano but you do need a special tool.
The aluminum dub crank bolt do be getting stuck pretty good sometimes though, get the steel bolt and youâre good.
a pair of allen wrenches together fit well enough in the plastic hole to turn it at the normal preload torque, Iâve also used the handle of a fork or in the newer hollow style just a stick from the side of the road
but if youâre doing a travel bike thing just buy an aftermarket chinese aluminum m20 bolt thatâs anodized in a matchy color, and takes a normal 6mm or 8mm allen wrench
Shimano road wet brakes in 8100 ultegra flavor:
How are the calipers vs the good mtb calipers?
Does the brake hose have a banjo?
Any common failures on any of the di2 bits?
they moved from 22mm diameter pistons on the 11-speed 105/Ult/DA calipers to back to 21mm diameter pistons on the calipers associated with the 12-speed road groups. Thatâs the same as Deore and below. SLX and above have 22mm pistons and will be more âpowerfulâ but might have excessive stroke on 12-speed road levers.
no banjo at the caliper.
