My understanding is that the Roaduno, with its horizontal dropouts, does not allow one to slide the wheel back and forth without also requiring an adjustment to the rear brake pads. The QB, with slanted dropouts, did not have that same problem. I don't have either bike, I'm only repeating what

Just to clarify: my stem is TIG/steel and has a four-bolt face plate. It's the 90-190 that Riv sells, not a Tallux or Technomic or similar. For the latter, I've never had a problem with scratches; I just use a plastic tire lever to pry them open a little bit to slide the bars in. What I'm tal

Sometimes I file the gap in the clamp from the bar side with a round file, and then try to round out the corners. I also do something like this to some cranks that have stress risers in places, but are otherwise good. - Max "taking care of stress risers" in A2 On Sunday, September 29, 2024 at

And even the highest security lock is worthless if you lock up to something that’s easily defeated.
