Have you tried it without the spacer? I was running a 13-34 7 speed
cassette on a 9 speed Ultegra hub and I seem to remember that it tightened
up fine without a spacer.

Erl what a great 'pre-getaway' trip! You covered some of the ground in hoping
to do with my dad in may. Thanks for the report and the pictures. And I
totally applaud your pace! I just had a conversation with a tri inclined
friend tonight about average crushing speeds and it was clear he and I
Great looking and well equipped bike you've got! Very 'not dumb!' :)

If that cassette is held together with screws or rivets they will need to be
removed. The heads of the screws or rivets take up a little room bearing on
the spacer and cause the outermost cog to be too far outboard. You are

Hey Patrick - I met to respond regarding your click but got distracted (not a
surprise). I had a similar experience while riding the STP (Seattle to
Portland) last year and the guy I happened to be riding alongside, he was on a
Riv, said that it often is a seat issue. Sure enough when I got home
What kind of chatter?

Sorry, Michael, but
No, no, NO! Please don't use a Silver Hupe on any bike that care anything at

I did not these because of poor fit issues. They were tight in some
places, but loose and baggy in others, I much prefer Ibex with padded

Hey David -
Thanks for the prompt reply. I surmise that you have no pad or chamios.

Well I had a grand laugh at myself on today's ride. I kept trying to

Good thing I'm on remote dirt roads! Grin. The laugh came when I remembered
that my brain doesn't process sound directionality with any accuracy at
all.
They didn't publish the frame weight in BQ. Calfees site has a page for
the adventure series, and says the complete bike pictured weighs 16.5lb
without fenders, and would retail for ~$6300 complete (SRAM Force). It is
pictured without pedals.
I assume we could spec that Roadeo with the same
For that matter, does anyone recall the frame + fork weight (bare frame and

If you were to build the same, sport-touring frame and fork (we can take

Congratulations on the new bike. I'll be curious to learn how much weight

Hi bunch,
Before plunking down the money for a new rack, I thought I'd inquire here
about an old , retired, bag support that is no longer in use.

Interesting you should compare your steel frame with the Trek Madone.
I am just about the same height and weight as my nephew. He owns a Trek
Madone which he races in the local club
i have a Peugeot UO8 that I converted over to a carbon fork about 10 years
ago for my fixie. Thing is every big pothole, every sidewalk dismount and
not knowing when it would add up to failure was a pain. They one day a
friend borrowed it and just innocently laid it down on its side near some

I've done both carbon and steel. I prefer the steel frame even with a
little extra weight since it is smoother than the madone I used to own. The
Domane might be the better carbon bike for me though since it is supposed
to be smoother than the Madone (speaking in the Trek lineup, of course)

Maybe it will have to be some new material, graphene is getting a lot of
