To fold a wire bead tire without damaging the bead is what we used to do before folding tires were ubiquitous. With the tire horizontal in front of you, reach under the the part closest to you (we’ll call that 6:00 o’clock), slide your hand all the way across (let’s call that 12:00 o’clock),

Just wanted to check in. I've been using the SIlver 1 shifters as bar ends for a while. Overall, things were good, but I did have some ghost shifting under torque and something just seemed less than precise. For the record, I've been using my Ultegra 6500 RD with a hanger extender to get up to

I'm not criticizing the $50 price for the Suntour XC9000 hub, but I remember buying one from Riv in the early 2000's for...$20-25 USD which was a flat-out bargain. $50 is still more than reasonable for this classic. It is a beautiful smooth-running hub; so nice I had a local wheel builder

You can get creative with how you cut cardboard boxes into different shapes. If you find one big enough to lay the tires down in, you can use a razor/box opener to cut down the corners of the box and then trim the flaps to the size you need. It's really hard to explain and it's something I messed

Yeah, basically use a box cutter to literally make a custom box no bigger than the tires. You can use some hot glue for integrity if you're worried, but good tape should suffice. On Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 5:35:07 PM UTC-4 bjmi...@gmail.com wrote: > You can get creative with how you cut
