My new bike: The Rocinante (name to be put on the down tube in the coming weeks.). This is in roadie mode, but I've also got some 650b wheels and Terrene Elwood 47s that'll get mounted up soon... I just went our for a…
Chas, first, thanks for posting this. I like what I'm seeing here, but have a question about removing a tire with the strip still on. Do you just - very carefully - pull it over the base (rubber part) of the valve stem…

I've been using the TRP disc fork (TA) for the past couple of years and I quite like it. The frame came with a Columbus Mud Disc fork (QR) and I noticed a difference in stiffness and ride quality right away. It's a…
