The grips should come off fine. Just stick a slim, long flat screwdriver under it, then spray some alcohol in under it to loosen it. Should slide off fine. Can use the same solution or hairspray to slide on new bars. Thanks, Reginald Alexis On Saturday, November 19, 2022 at 2:05:28 PM UTC-6

Nice build. is the crank 110 BCD? Must be with the 33 ring. The bar set up is interesting. Thanks, Reginald Alexis On Monday, November 21, 2022 at 9:30:50 AM UTC-6 e.q.s...@gmail.com wrote: > Looking to switch to flat-ish bars on my Bridgestone XO-2. Its a little > small for me, so I am

The 22AWG wire offered by Velo Lumino, currently out of stock, is the best solution I've found for threading dynamo wiring through tight spaces such as fork legs: https://www.velolumino.com/product/premium-22awg-wire/10?cp=true=true=false=false On Monday, November 21, 2022 at 3:30:12 PM UTC-8

I did something similar on on my Surly Travels Check, but had to drill the holes bigger. That fork had a small hole at top of fork leg tube, I couldn't go up into steerer tube like yours. Definitely looks cleaner, but drilling your fork is not ideal, and I doubt you can get the wiring through

Thanks Max, great looking bike! One other thing, I don't usually run a rear rack, but rear rack mounted light pics definitely welcome, really any nice rear dynamo wiring pics, especially more up close. I agree Edward, they also seem kind of annoying to set up, but probably once it's set up,

I wired my Sinewave through the fork blade on my Crust Bombora, and it was probably one of the most frustrating tinkering projects I’ve ever attempted with any of my bikes. I almost gave up numerous times, and I actually had to do it all over again once I had successfully completed the routing.

Ryan, how wonderful! Yes, you are exactly right - if she wants a Platypus, now is the time. I remember when April 2021 happened and all the Platys were gone within the span of a few minutes and SO many were disappointed. That crowd has been waiting from then until now, the end of 2022 to get a
