There's a 55 too. How much is a Di2 setup anyways? How close is that to getting the drivetrain and a free bike to put it on?

Edit: Damn near, Universal Cycles has a DA Di2 kit for $2,385.

You could definitely call it a free frame and wheel set.

I was checking out Pedego electric bikes. It went against all my beliefs on biking until I rode one. Fun as ***** they have one that goes over sand, dirt etc..

I've been training for my first "race" for about two months. Everything just came together and I was able to finish with the lead group. I wasn't expecting to do as well as I did. It was nuts riding with that caliber of people http://www.strava.com/activities/222...f5e4b7758dd24e

My middle chainring was worn, and the chain stretched. Replaced them and adjusted it on the stand without a test ride. I was on my way to catch the bus to work, and found out on the way the cassette is all jacked up too. The new chain just skipped all over. So I coasted down the hill so I wasn't late and had to get a ride home or puch it up the 400 feet from the bus stop. I am riding a '92 m900 8-speed setup. Looking for a "vintage" part now.

You may get away with not replacing a chainring when you replace the chain, but if the chainring is shot there's almost no chance that the cassette is any good.

I feel you on the vintage parts thing. I really like the way my ~'95 Bianchi roadie rides, but I'm not looking forward to hunting down 8-spd Campy parts so I'm seriously considering another bike for regular riding.

So far the only thing I found I want at all is a HG51 11-32. I don;t like the gearing on the SRAM pg 850. I am hoping someone I know has one in a box or can source one. He sort of specializes in that sort of thing. He is the one that found the parts in the first place. The frame is a Giant TCX that is not that old.

Just got the Wheels Manufacturing PF30 to outboard BB Converter with Enduro ceramic bearing and had it installed at my LBS.



I going to test out the bike tonight, but initial impressions is positive. Build quality is very good and does feel secure in the bike. The bearings, however, is pretty stiff. I tried turning the bearings by hand and it was pretty tough. The crank doesnt feel as smooth as before but hopefully it will improve over time. I did read that Enduro packs the bearing with a lot of grease.

Wiped out this morning about two miles in the start of my commute. I was riding on a major road in the area turning into Home Depot to hop on a bike trail. I've ridden this route a hundred times but I guess it was slicker than usual. Rear slide out I fell down. Luckily the cars behind me had enough time to stop.

Quick assessment afterwards: seat out of alignment, broke my crappy front bottle cage (which was already broken because it was crappy), ripped a couple small holes in my rain jacket, right hip and right elbow feels sore. I believe I kept my head from smacking the pavement. Decided to call it and hop on the bus to work since I was right at the transit center and it was too dark to get a better look. Stay right side up.

I normally go through 2 chainz before replacing the big ring and cassette even though only 2-3 gears have worn along with the chain (pretty flat around here). Maybe I should look into one of those fancy cassettes where all the cogs are separate.

I don't know of any that have cogs that are available individually, and if you wear the same couple out all the time then being able to swap them from cassette to cassette isn't going to help much since they'll all be equally worn.

I also replace the cassette every other chain, but I usually go three or four before needing to replace the middle ring on the MTB.

Most decent shimano have individual rings once you get down below 21 or so. They might have a cluster of say 25-23-21 then the rest are all individual packaged with spacers in between.

For you guys replacing front chain rings, you usually don't need to until about the 20k mile mark assuming you don't bend them.

Yes, but what I was saying is that you can't buy them individually. So, while technically possible to replace only the cogs that are worn you still have to buy a whole new cassette anyway.

This was after four years, but nowhere near 20k. Granted it's the original and probably of dubious quality.

I just picked up a 2006 Sirrus Pro for $550. It had a full refresh/tune last year. Ultegra triple setup w/ flat bars, carbon stays and fork with Zertz inserts. Need some 32c tires for it as I've got a 1 mile section of gravel on the way to a paved trail.

What does PF30 bring to the table versus BB30? I've never had noise out of my crank bearings and replacing bearings is stupid easy on BB30.

PF30 houses the bearings in cups, the cups housing the bearings is what gets pressed into the bb shell. Definitely helps keep the bb assembly quiet. BB30 is not always noisy or problematic but it can be at times. A heavy rider or a very strong rider will give a bb30 assembly a workout, there are ways stabilize the bearings to cut down on noise but requires pulling the bearings out of the frame. Inserting and removing the bearings is detrimental to the bb shell. The smallest amount aluminum shaved off the bb shell when pressing or removing a bearing would damage the precise tolerance needed for the bearing to fit properly. I like glueing bb30 bearings with locktite sleeve retainer (green) in order to minimize the chance for them to make noise or move under pedaling force. I never see issues with PF30, its a more stable assembly.

Disaster999, there has to be something wrong with your assembly, there should be no resistance when you turn the cranks, should be easy and smooth.

Since I have today off, I was going to do the Friday group ride (65 miles.) Rain all day I have only had tme for the ride home from work, and the bike was down for a week.

I ended up getting a 11-32 HG41 cassettee. It is my brother's bike, and the lbs had one on the shelf, plus he just got a $5 buck discount for doing a trail maintenance day. (I was at work that Saturday so I couldn't go.)
