Do you have Praxis Carbon crankset on both? I have an Open UP that I built up with the same crank, and I noticed that when I really torque it (stand on the pedals, or sprint) it flexes some, even getting some rubbing on…
That's awesome 3D printing idea. I have a bb bracket guide for one of the frames that I can't get a replacement, and I'd hate to junk the frame just for a small plastic part.
If both of those shifting systems are electronic (DI2 vs AXS), then it shouldn't matter, no? I have mechanical GRX, and I notice the difference in shifting on the stand when the clutch is on, but no big difference while…
Pink bikes are awesome!
You're good. For example I'm running a 42 wide tire on an old Mavic Ksyrium Elites with 15mm internal width with no issues on my commuter. Those Dunes are sweet tires! I can take them off your hands if you don't want…
Pressfit might not be as bad. You can use a thread-together cups, something like this one: https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/bb386evo.html I had a good luck with one on my Ridley, and just got one for a PF30 Niner…
Also it looks like they are from Quebec, so English is not their first language. I'm currently leaning towards a Niner RDO anyway.. there are something deals out there on 2020 frames.
https://www.panoramacycles.com/en/product/katahdin-apex/ Was doing research on reasonable priced framesets and stumbled upon this bike. Looks like a cool bike/frame. 2k CAN is about 1500 usd with free shipping. Anyone…
Adam, depending on where you live, 32c tires might be just right. Around here, I can do most of the dirt roads on 32c slick Gravel Kings. Unless there's mud or fresh big gravel, that's all you need.
Have you checked the bike fit? If might be not producing optimal power and getting tired more easily.
Hey Mike. I have an x-trail that came with the Shimano FC-RS500 crankset which I switched to 6800 Ultegra using the same BB. (24mm spindle) After couple years I upgraded (downgraded?) to Praxis subcompact with the WMFG…
Just picked up a couple of those: https://www.backcountry.com/camelbak-podium-mud-cap Will do couple rides and report later which one I prefer.
Take a look at this: https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/derailleur-optimization/products/roadlink Then your friend can find a wide range 10 speed cassette, like one of the Sram or IRC ones.
I just want to second a standard casing Bon Jons. Last year with the extra-light casing, I had the same problems - it would lose too much pressure, sealant would seep through the casing. They rode really supple, but I…

Had a hard time mounting brand new Bon Jons Ultra Light tubeless on Stan's Grail rim. Had to run them with tubes for a while and then few days later they managed to seal. Loved how they ride, but not the longevity or…

I'll be going to Russia (Moscow area), and staying there for a few weeks. Anyone knows of any organized rides and a place to rent a bike? It will be too boring going without riding for that long!
For the seatstay and under the fork, reused existing screws. Added a thin slice of wine cork between the seatstay and the under fork attachments so the fenders doesn't rattle. Be aware that on the back non-drive side…
