CMR, Thanks for the positive feedback! As for the freehub spacer kit-- I'm personally going to stay away from "functional" parts that can potentially cause a hazard for riding, so I don't see a future in fabricating anything that has to do with brakes or the drivetrain. I wouldn't want to face

Jim Just Google "TPU inner tubes" and you'll see lots of them. They are "the new thing" on the market in the way of very light weight and very compact tubes. They span a bewildering price range. People claim they can get them on Ali Express for under $1, and they go all the way up to >$30 ea

Do the Microshift shifters have that soft detent feel in friction mode? RIvendell used to spec something like this on the Clem. It wasn't a very good shifter, at least in friction mode. Eric On Tue, Jul 2, 2024 at 10:43 PM Michael Baquerizo wrote: > others mileage may vary, but i recently start

Ted, Sorry to be the person to ask this, but what is TPU, and were are you so unhappy with it? The latex tubes sound nice, when I first changed for Jan's tire recommendations/designs back in 2008ish, it was transformational, so if this is further that much transformational, I might have to try it

They work very well. They’re not quite as beautiful as a silver shifter or dura ace, but they shift incredibly well. I have a pair on a vintage Stumpjumper that I ride on fairly extreme off road rides and they have been smooth, yet bulletproof. On Wed, Jul 3, 2024 at 4:27 AM Roberta wrote: > Wow
