I meant too short. yeah it was super tight. Shes purring now. Wife calls the bike a cicada with all the noise the pawls make. On another note, people have been highly complementary of the wheelset.
so update. Chain was too long and putting some bad tension on the pulleys. One of the causes. So new chain wasted and new chain put on. So get home and we have a real tough hill in our neighborhood, and I figure its…
I have messed around with the B screw all day and cant get the dang thing to commit to staying in the upper cog. Messed around with the low limit screw all day and no dice. It will shift crisp up and down the block, but…
Its an Facebook buy/sell/trade page. Got over 40k members. Got my crank and brakes there. Now, I have run into a bug with my drive train. Have it currently at the shop for evaluation since I am sick of messing with it.…
The Finished Product.... Oleritter did an excellent job on the wheelset. Hydra Rims with Bitex hubs (sound amazing according to my kids) Tubeless set up the first time was frustrating at first, but sleeping on it and…
Figured it out this morning. I was deflating the tire all the way and it was naturally going to unseat in 1 area at least. Filled with Orange Seal (about 2-3 oz) and deflated to max psi (80). Did the funky chicken dance…
when I push all the air out, a small section will pop off the bead, but not the whole thing and its usually only on one side. It sits somewhat loose on the bead, but it takes some real effort to pry it off. Im gonna go…
I just got a pair of Sawtooths and I am having a hard time with them setting up tubeless. Dumb question, I use my air compressor to pump the tire up, hear the pops then release all the air out of the tire. Is it normal…
Thanks. I thought the BB7 was dual since I saw videos of people twisting knobs on both sides. Will stick with the spyres then.
Building up a Specialized AWOL framset. I have used TRP Spyres in the past, but I have had to play around with the durn things to get them right, or have had to warranty out them since the pistons do not clamp…
Update for everyone. Parts are S.L.O.W.L.Y coming in. Got Oleritter building up some wheels for me so I am looking forward to those. I think I am going to go tubeless for the first time ever on a bike. I am thinking…
Ok so Question for those in the know. I will be most likely running a SRAM Rival 1 Group as much as I can piece together (Shifters, RD, Crank, ect). The cassette for the SRAM rival 1 requires an XD driver for the hub. I…
So a new AWOL arrived in better condition than the previous one. Was really surprised by what Specialized provides you with the frameset. (Headset, Seatpost Collar, Seatpost, Handlebar with tape, saddle, stem, and other…
I have been talking with oleritter for a buildup. Im thinking those rims we had talked about with the DT hubs are the move. when I get my summer bicycle stimulus check in the mail.

So we got the bike in and noticed some paint missing on the headset. Bare metal exposed. Shop owner didnt want me to take possession of it unless I was satisfied. Getting another one in Thursday hoping for the best.
Yes I am leaning more towards a 29" tire. I know that both are the same. No idea on hubs. Any good ones you know of? I am a clyde rider. Wheels to have them built up was around 680. Just too much for my budget for now.
Glad to know the hub spacing so I can buy wheels (Dang they are $$$) appropriately. I was leaning more towards 29er since I have a Jamis Renegade thats more road than gravel for now. I was debating 1x10 vs. 1x11 any…
Hi all, been wanting to build a bike up to my specs for a while now and finally got a chance to do so. It will be a 2017 AWOL expert frameset for gravel grinding/bikepacking I have a couple of questions for those who…
I might be able to get back in this order after all. If the store can get opened again. Is is 75 out the door with shipping? I'm in for the relaxed fit \n
