Sorry for dragging this out, everyone. I just remembered to mention that when you are tightening the bearing cone, you want to position it so that it doesn't cause friction. However, you don't want it loose to the point where there is play along the axle. If it's too loose, the pedal cage will jigg

Hi! I've an important decision to make: 62cm Hunqapillar or a (second) 60cm Hillborne? At least, I *may* have that decision to make. No amount of measuring will actually let me *know* if I can actually straddle the Hunqapillar. I have a nominal 90cm PBH. All the other numbers seem reasonable t

How 'bout a 60cm Bombadil?If not, and you can't find a local Hunqapillar to try, consider that 2cm is not much difference at all.But, one test would be to straddle your SH, grab the bars in one hand and the seat in the other, and lift; then have someone take a look at how high the wheels c
