they arent the boa laces, but rather the ratchet/buckle setup. The metal thing is scraped to ****.


also, dont quick release links stretch with teh chain? that's why you shouldn't reuse them. unless they're made from a more durable material that allows them to wear longer than the chain itself.

spectastic

and i find it surprising that the BOA laces get lifetime warranty. I'm assuming that includes crashes too? you sure it's not manufacturer defect warranty @Ygduf?

Think about what you just said.

Unlimited lifetime warranty. Look it up.

my roommate needs a seatpack that will fit a new felt AR seat post. suggestions?

caloso

I just went on the Boa site, found the right version and they're sending them for free. Free shipping too.

caloso

Arundel Dual? It just straps around the seat rails, not the seat post.

+1. I've been using them for about four years now, really happy with them.

Fizik and REI have units that are snap on/off rail mounts.

got the campy bb30 adapter cups on; more of an adventure than it should've been but I'm a cat 3 mechanic at best..

used the wrong tool to take out the bb30 bearings, busted em up real good. at least they aren't needed with these new adapter cups.

then over torqued the crank bolt to 80nm instead of the 70 max.. damn wrench has two sets of numbers and I read the wrong one. cranks felt tight during test ride, that explains it.

getting closer to having all this mechanical **** figured out!!

i like doing bike work myself as much as anyone, but removing/pressing bearings is something i don't really mess with.

shovelhd

It's not hard with the proper tools.

spectastic

I would use a piece of wood to anchor the bearing from the inside, and a rod/hammer to chisel out the wood. anything else metal and sharp would risk damaging the bearing.

installation i used bolts and washers for the pf30, but the cup fittings would be handy for bb30, because it's a precision tool, although stacked washers would do the same trick, as long as you don't over tighten the thing.

Reading about BB30 problems makes me want to stick with GXP/whatever that standard is called. So easy to put a new bottom bracket on..and it seems to be fairly low maintenance..or im just stupid when it comes to maintaining it.

I really dont like working on/adjusting my front derailleur or my brakes. I will do it, but I don't like to

I like the GXP - I have it on my track bike, installed so fast it felt unfair when I was done.

I have BB30 and it's sort of a pain.

I think that the bearings are officially ruined if you remove them for BB30. The lateral load to push them out isn't good for them. However I've reused bearings because I didn't have another set.

Welcome to 2003 or whenever.

lols ... it wouldn't happen often enough that I really thought about a better method.

I'm looking for racing saddle recommendations, particularly from the other women on the forum. Thanks!

wens

Seems like many people like fizik or specialized, and typically like specialized and dislike fizik or vice versa. Any shops around you demo saddles?

valygrl

Toupe or romin for me.

spectastic

ask your butt (seriously)


I think I'm selling my venge for a fm098. I can sell the venge and use that money to buy two dengfu frames (racing and training). I bet the performance margin between the venge and the fm098 is negligible

UmneyDurak

or toupe + if you are looking for a bit more padding.

ips0803

OK. New 6870 install last night and I get so lights on Junction A and no lights on SM-BCR2 when plugged in.

Any idea where to start? Damaged wire?

echappist

as in the battery won't charge? i have some spare wires i can lend you if you are showing up at one of the local races.

btw, is this for a TT rig?
