The Tarck Approved database

No idea if it’s approved or not, but here are two headsets (1" and 1 1/8", both threadless) that come with roller bearing lowers

for the record, the dovals seem to push chainline in. Nbd really since the difference is small and favors crosschaining, which is something people with nerd cranks like to do.

I installed some of the Bikeingreen branded ones on a Force PF30/BB386 crank for a build yesterday. Chainline indeed comes inboard some. The Force Yaw front derailleur had no problem with this at all.

oh those look nice

This is something that should definitely be on the spreadsheet. Roller bearing headset are such a pain in the ass to find and 1" threadless is a pain^2.

Edit: added it as a note after my review of the token needle bearing headset (which is fine). I wonder whether these ysts are actually available anywhere though?

Isn’t there an IRD one that’s in QBP or some other big distributor? What about the 105 threaded one? I remember it used to be good but I don’t think it’s roller bearing.

IRD is a Merry Sales brand, right? Definitely not available from Q, but widely available, if it’s in stock

What do I need to know about pairing ST-R7025 with BR-M7000 or BR-M8000?

you want to start with hoses like these that come with the banjo built in at the business end: https://www.ebay.com/i/333270229744

you’ll terminate them fresh at the lever end with a normal barb+olive

when bought individually, the calipers will come with metallic pads and the special banjo bolts to affix the hoses I linked

lil late asking, but how’s the shifting on these? noticeably worse than standard chainrings? thinking I want to just do the subcompact chainrings on my current 6800 crankset while it’s still intact #thanksshimano

No complaints from the customer and he’s fairly particular.

Who’s tried the new GRX groupetti?

Is it available

Q had at least a few bits and bobs in in low qty

I snagged a GRX 46/30 crankset this morning

I’ll tell you all about it when it shows up

AFAIK most of GRX literally just landed in retail shops, I was hoping for the ultegra level crankset with the 48/31 but it seems like it won’t be in stock until mid sept

Anyone got a recommendation for a rear rack for a bike with rack mounts? Or are they all generally the same?
