advice is to try something else and see how it works; if it's better,
that's great and you've found something to add to the rotation, and if you

Yeah, I had those on a fancy mountain bike for a while when I was still
into that (next trail bike will likely be an Atlantis, so you can tell
where my priorities are now). I didn't find them any better than trigger
shifters, or even regular old thumb shifters, which are my preference now.
I do hav
id 90s for sale if you'd
be interested in that at all as a partial trade.
Thank you!

I don't think you'll have any issues. I have a low clamp XT front derailer
set up to clear a 46t big ring on my Gus and it's still a cm or so below
the lower water bottle boss. I'm imagining that you'll probably be running
smaller rings than that, since it appears you have a derailer designed for

Yep, mine does it too. Aesthetically disappointing and might wear out the
cable a bit faster, and might also take off some paint, but my Gus came to
me with paint dings already and the cable will probably break at the
shifter or derailer first anyway so I've decided to ignore it.

Hi Jay,
If you like leather saddles but a B17 is (maybe) too wide, have you tried a

and if that's the sort of bike you want, I don't

Yep, British term. I've never heard it said here in the US but I've seen it

bikes (I was born seven years after Bridgestone USA folded and have been
working on bikes since late elementary school). As far as I know the term

And I also totally get it if you'd rather wait for an immediate sale when I

that makes this possible. I've also made many backpack-type wheel carriers
out of stuff pulled from bike shop garbage cans: inner tubes as the straps
and a piece of cardboard as padding, attached using some combination of

The goal is to remove that threaded rod, right? I would try to find two
nuts that fit on there and lock them together, like you would on a hub
axle, and just use those to turn it. Alternatively you could wrap it in
something soft (bar tape?) and turn it with vise grips or something. I
don't think t
Oh, rereading I see now that you're actually trying to get the new knob to
stay put. What if you used that same locknut idea, just with one nut
pushing against the back of the knob? That would probably hold it on quite
securely.
