A friend has one of those little Razor Vespa-like scooters for his kids. It had a flat (tire rotated on rim, ripping the valve stem) and he could not find a shop willing to touch it. I was a little worried about dealing with 12.5" tires but it was pretty straightforward using motorcycle tire...

Anyone have a kid who used Invisalign? My daughter's orthodontist just gave us a quote of $5800, which seems high. Her office manager said she 'gave me a bit of a discount because you went through Phase 1 with us' which sounded like the exact kind of bullshit she might say to every single...

Cut/paste from an earlier thread. Offering it at the lower bound of Jason's pricing thoughts AFTER I had the rear wheel rebuilt. '11 SWORKS frame. The stiff one. They softened it up in '12 IIRC. I built it up, then replaced everything over the years. Valor Pro wheels ('18, I think) 11sp XX1...

Hmm...I think the topic covered all the bases. Unused mag sensor, ANT+ USB adapter, and pedal washers included.

Planning to sell my '11 SWORKS hardtail and a friend of mine is interested. I'll give him a better than fair price but I don't know what that is! Just about everything but the frame has been replaced over the years. '11 SWORKS frame. The stiff one. They softened it up in '12 IIRC. Valor Pro...

I sold my Roval CLX32s to a friend of a friend a couple weeks ago. He wants his money back because his shop tells him that "all the nipples are seized and they can't be trued". Assuming they haven't screwed everything up, he can have his money back but is this really a problem for a shop? Or...

I make a point to keep bike parts until they're no longer current (I have a 10sp PowerTap too). Cheap hoops for your winter training bike? $50

Excellent shape. The tire needs air every so often. $60

S-WORKS-specific Roxkshox Reba 29er. This was a top of the line fork 10 years ago. Carbon upper and steerer. "Brain" valving. 3lb 9oz on my scale. Missing the lower adjustment knob (pliers work fine). $80. Also a Specialized Chisel rigid. I used this for about 5hr before deciding it...

yeah, yeah, roadie bits. Off my S-WORKS Tarmac. Set up tubeless with Conti 5000TL 25mm. Rear has about 500miles. Front, 1500(?). Light AF. 1280g. No damage beyond a few marks from the road or maybe hangar rash. High res pics, including every blemish I could find...

Trek is 100-120 days out on AXS Supercalibers. I actually got an email from one of the managers at Brielle/Trek Middletown/whatever other shops they own at 9:45 last night. It's theoretically their day off but a few of them go in to build bikes. In January. My friend ordered a Top Fuel in...

Long shot, but I broke a 298mm spoke on my Valor 29 rear wheel. 3rd one this year. I thought I had 4 spares but I actually had 2. :) I'll rebuild the wheel when the weather turns. Short term, life is easy if I can get the right spoke but DT Swiss (Stans recommendation - they don't have any)...

Specialized 12" bike. Hotrock? They now call it the "Riprock" ($250!). Training wheels included. Seat height: 15-19". Customized with sweet striping. $50 16" "Ferrari" bike. I have no idea who makes it. It's nicer than a Walmart bike, not quite as nice as a major brand bike. Pad...

I noticed that the handlebars on my S-WORKS Tarmac click into a straight ahead position from (I assume) dents in the race. Can that be caused by overtightening the tension bolt? It's never happened on any of my bikes. It's my newest bike, with about 350hrs on it. The lower bearing feels...

[SOLD] Compact DuraAce 9100 crankset. 175mm. Drive side has ~100 miles on it. Non-drive, 2000ish. $150 Specialized Chisel 29r rigid fork for QR. Used it for 5hrs before deciding it wasn't for me. Steerer at 7 inches. $100 PowerTap Pro. 10sp. Laced to old school mavic openpro that...

I really want to buy Taylor's fork but I've hit a snag. I have Valors with a centerlock disk and the fork is Boost so I need to move my disc out 5mm. I can convert to 6 bolt easily enough but the disc spacer won't fit over the lockring. Has anyone done this conversion? Googling is...

My friends and I are looking to get my buddy a cheap bike for his b-day. I'm pushing hard against the $250 Performance Mongoose shit heaps. My other two friends are casual riders at best and don't really understand my protests. Anyway, found a K2 ProFlex 2000 for similar money locally. Are...

Last fall, I bought 3 sets of EggBeaters. 2 pairs of the cheap "C", one pair of the stainless "SL". Since Thanksgiving, I've broken 3 of them. One SL, 2 C. Two left pedals, 1 right. The lefts on my SS, the right on my Asylum. IOW, there's no real trend. The only trend is that they...

So, I had an expected-it-to-burst-into-flames level crash on my Asylum 29er over the weekend and wrecked a front wheel. After getting a quote for ~$250 to rebuild it with a fresh Salsa Delgado rim and observing a $30 closeout on the rim at Speedgoat, I said screw it and ordered it along with a...

More of a wine drinker but I digress. My buddy loaned me a singulator so I could build a "free" SS out of my old '94 Merlin Mountain frame. "Free" eventually worked out to about $300 (seat, seatpost, bars, levers, chain, pedals, etc). First ride sucked. I threw the chain climbing and...
