    Tubeless onstall

    Sorry if this has been covered a hundred times. The tire is installing out of balance. Clear to see as the name is off kilter around the bead. Using dish soap as lubricant and have tried to reseat it a number of times. Suggestions to get the bead in line? Took the psi up to 50 but don’t want to...

    Cross Tire recommendation

    I've been riding my tubeless PDXs for the past three seasons as my only cross tires. Great in the wet, but I'd like something for the dry and for some gravel rides as well. I picked up a second wheel set, so looking for another tubeless recommendation in a filetread or gravel setup. I'm...

    Wide-toed Spd shoes

    I have funny feet. Not funny ha-ha, funny like weird. From the heel to the arch they are so narrow that I wear women's shoes for running. But every cycling shoe I've worn squished the piggies to an uncomfortable degree. The only outlier is a pair of 45 North, but I am looking at something for...

    Speed? Efficiency? Cadence?

    I only started riding 5 years ago, when I was 52. I spent three years trail riding on my Big Honzo and loving it. Two years ago, I got into cyclocross and really began to train. I now own a Trek Crockett (professionally fitted) for cross, and an El Mariachi set up as single speed. This is...

    2.0/ 2.1 tubeless

    I want to convert the extra wheelset on my 29 single speed to do more gravel and maybe a race or two. The 2.4's on it now are just way too aggressive. I'll still keep them on my first wheelset, but I'd like to get something faster rolling to try them out. Anyone have some tires that still have...

    Trail Recommendation

    On Saturday, I'll be driving from Yardley, Pa to meet up with my son's Boy Scout troop for hiking and camping at High Point State Park. Since I coach my daughter's soccer game in the morning, I will miss the first hike and will have a few hours to myself on a Saturday (please don't tell my...

    Q: Trainer for kids

    One of my friends has a 10 year-old son who was very active. Two years ago, they located a tumor, but only after he lost his sight. His sight has not returned. For the most part, he is healthy and energetic. Last spring I got them an Adams Trail-A-Bike and set it up for them. It was really the...

    Single speed stumper

    I thought I was going to be able to post in "What did you do for your bike today," but I'm perplexed. Had the single speed well set up and running smoothly. However, I wanted to change from the Formula hubs to a wheel set I got with Stan's Neo for the better engagement. The whole process went...

    Road Shorts Recommendations

    I believe that I am suffering from BAS (Boney Ass Syndrome). On my mtb, no problem. But on my road/cross bike, huge pain in the ass after an hour or so. Not saddle sores, but a really sore butt. Same whether on the road and rollers. I've been through 7 different saddles and I'm pretty happy with...

    Fork: Steel? Carbon? Suspension?

    In August, I bought a 2015 Salsa El Mariachi. And I fell in love with it. After three weeks, I sold my Big Honzo DL as I just couldn't justify having an extra bike that I knew would get no love. (And I stashed the cash for any future ElMar upgrades). In fact, I haven't even been using my cross...

    SS newbie questions

    So, I posted in another SS thread that I recently purchased a 2014 El Mariachi. I have it set up 32 - 18 and I am loving it. It is totally humbling on some of the bigger, rockier climbs, but I can do my regular loop at Baldpate with the exception of 50 steep, rocky yards going up the western red...

    Tubeless - tape - blowoff

    I've swapped out tubeless tires before, but this morning was the first time I taped the rims myself. Stan's ZTR Rapid rims with Stan's 25mm tape as per recommendation. It looked great with a lot of stretch in order to keep the tape off the rim grooves. Did a dry installation of Maxxis Ardent 2.4...

    Gearing question

    I know that the ultimate answers are going to be: 1. N+1 2. Fire 3. Fire & N+2 But none of those are realistic options right now. I've been putting a lot of road miles on my cross bike in an effort to build my endurance base. I would like to spend some more road time on the hills, but I'm...

    Dried sealant

    Recently picked up a used set of Stans Iron Cross rims and found that the sealant was totally dried out. Not unexpected in the least given the fact that it hadn’t been ridden or serviced in two years. My question is whether or not (and if so how) I should remove the dry sealant. I know it could...

    WTB: Beater Cross Bike (lend/lease/buy/trade)

    Just catching the bug to enter some cyclocross events. My road bike is 61cm, and the rim brakes won't let me put anything larger than a 28 cm tire on. My MTB is a 27.5+, so it doesn't make sense to ride with that either, if avoidable. Looking for a heavily used 58 or 61 cross or gravel bike...
