Had a loose arm on my rear brake so I decided to tear them apart and have a look, just because...
for anyone interested. here are some shots below.
Ti shoulder bolts! Woo!
Now, two questions....
Should I give this guy a tap with a punch and a hammer to snug it up?
Where the #$%^ does...
I have an old set of Mavic SC wheels from mid 2000's and I just picked up a new Fox Float with the 15mm axles.... My old set of wheels is not compatible with the through axles, so i am looking for options.
Is it possible to buy a Mavic hub that is compatible? Mavic SX? And lace it to my wheels...
I have a Rossin Ghibli that is in pretty good condition. I know very little about the brand, its rarity, what its worth. I just know the frame looks sweet and im thinking of using it as a daily commuter.

Sachs cassette...
hey its not like the thing is sitting in my living room un-ridden haha. I have to mess with it somehow, "stock" anything isnt any fun....bike...truck....theres always something that "needs" to be done!
hadnt thought of that, raw and white would look pretty ugly. I was told that powercoating...
Thanks man, I really like it! this voodoo just replaced my voodoo hoodoo al that ive had forever!
I have a good friend with a bleed kit thats a mechanic and is willing to give me a hand along the way if i need it. As far as supporting local shops, Im up at school and the guys here seem pretty...
So im not sure how i could get the "stickers" off. They look like decals that have a clear coat over them.
Im assuming the bike is powdercoated, so would taking acetone, or some similar chemical, to the decals hurt the powdercoat?
K I am digging my bike, and I like blue, but i am not really feeling the graphics.
Should I just strip it, leave it raw and clear coat it?
I know a guy who can powdercoat, so maybe red? I do like red bikes. :D
Been building up my bike and collecting parts for a while now, check it out!

I need longer brake lines up front and in the back, a tubeless kit, and im thinking about getting some carbon bars.
Should I order the brake lines online or from a local shop?
What...
how comfy is that seat? I am so sick of that plastic seat that came on my bike. I want something pivotal thats fairly comfortable... i dont need a spring jelly fatass seat :weee:, but something nicer than plastic for sure.
hows the atomlab pimp seat?
Lookin to order a some pedals and a seat for my Voltage
what websites should I check out?
No one local carries the pedals I want or has a good selection of seats.
Planning on Ordering Crank Brothers 5050xx pedals and a seat but just not sure which one.
What seats should I check out?
did you use a tensioner? maybe the extra CS length makes it hit. because ive had 2 different bike mechanics mess with it, as well as myself (id like to think im not totally incompetent) and it still ends up hitting after I ride a bit.
I might just try running a couple links before I buy a whole new chain.
The tire isnt hitting the CS, I cant keep enough tension in the chain to keep the chain from hitting the top and bottom of the chainstay. I even went to another shop to have them tighten it just to make sure im not just...
can I just get the one link, or do i need the entire halflink chain?
after riding today i definitely need a tensioner, and experience with that one? I know the real basic one I tried didnt fit.
i ended up getting the .1 and i dig it. only issue im having is that I cant get the chain dialed in, i dont think tensioners will fit on it and the chain is wacking on the bottom of the cs pretty good. get a half link chain so i can slam it a little more or am i just being an idiot?
