I once installed Tektro R559 brakes on a friends 27” to 700 road bike conversion. She mentions to this day that she could never stop adequately on that bike. Personally, I don’t understand bikes that need long reach calipers. Either go canti/v-brake or disc brakes for these type of bikes. Da

I agree with the sentiment that road bikes look better with calipers on them. Though I find the long-reach caliper brakes (Tektro R559) to be rather ugly looking. Road bikes with disc brakes or v-brakes still look odd to me. I assume they must be gravel or cyclocross bikes. Maybe Rivendell sh

When my Silver1 shifter broke and I replaced it with a Suntour Barcon. I was surprised by how easier it was to shift to the last cog on a 10 speed cassette compared to the Silver1 shifter. My initial set-up with the Silver1 shifter was with a Deore XT 10-speed derailleur. The last cog was almos

I fixed the squealing on my Susie by toeing in the Kool Stop pads just now. It's worth the try if you are getting annoyed by the constant screech. Sincerely, Daniel M On Friday, June 24, 2022 at 8:07:10 AM UTC-4 Paul Clifton wrote: > Good to know the Salmon pads squeal for lots of people.
