What Did You Just Buy For Your Bike?

I picked up some Nitto RB-021 bars with grips for 35$.

[cc700]

decided i wanted to stop after all.

[gospastic]

i can't get that dia-compe brake to stop squeaking. seems to be no toe-in adjustment.

[cc700]

hmm, my toe in is TERRIBLE as well, one's toed out and the other is toed in.

i think the squeaking problem and the toe in problem can be cured with a better set of pads and toe adjustable refillable holders.


this is a pretty common upgrade it seems and i see no reason to not replace the pads and shoe holders with refillable holders that adjust.

[Geordi Laforge]

kool-stop cartridge pad holder set is what you want - great pads and orbiting holders.

thank you geordi, you're wonderfully helpful tonight!

those cables are insanely helpful, i'm glad i complimented my mini u with one. be sure to have a seperate lock so you don't have to route it back to your real lock.

those cartriges are definitely worthwhile once i have the spending money.

i just looked at the major taylor bars and blue grips on thomson and must say, i hope it looks better than it does in my head

that stem and those bars go together about as well as sour cream and pickled cashews. hurl.

[Geordi Laforge]

yeah, the cable is being used with my ny mini u to secure my rear wheel -- easily cut, but might prevent a crime of opportunity.

I'm waiting for this frame and fork to be delivered. Not sure if it fits in this thread but I'm excited.

[cockbag]

just got syntace stratos bars. now I just need to find a 1-1/8" threadless 70mm stem with a 26.0 clamp. anyone got any suggestions?
the only one I can find right now is an FSA Vision Sizemore.

Dude, you are living my dream. Way to go. Did you go for the BB30 bottom bracket?

[Cynikal]

Thanks, I did go BB30. For this type of bike it make sense to make everything as stiff as possible. I just bought a carbon Cannondale BB30 road crank for it. I have all the parts in a box just waiting for the frame and fork. Should be a couple of more weeks.

sexy c'dale - love the matching easton fork.

Thanks! They are Soma Walker bars. The new bike came with a flat bar, so I will trade them out with either these or my RB-021s.
