    Wanted 15mm end caps for 2015-ish era FSA PMA hubs

    This may be like searching for a unicorn, but my daughters XC race bike, a 2015 Scott Scale, has a set of FSA SL-K carbon wheels, from around the 2015 era. The current fork is setup for old school QR (what's that 100 x 9mm?). The damper on the fork died last season. It's usable and she raced...

    Mystery Creak

    My fatbike has a creak. Creaks once per pedal revolution. I hear it on the left side and feel it in the left pedal. I thought it WAS the pedal, but swapping pedals didn't fix it. Has a press fit BB. The bearings felt good, but I knocked out the left one out and replaced it anyway. Checked...

    H2H Cat Questions

    I emailed H2H, but thought someone here might know the answer. As a 13 year old, can my daughter race the Cat1/2 JR. Women 15-18 class if she wants to? On the surface it seems that the Cat2/3 Junior Women age 10-18 class which races one lap is the only one she technically fits into, but I...

    Clipless pedal info

    My soon to be 13 y/o wants to move to clipless pedals for next season for MTB and BMX Racing. I have always run flats, so this is uncharted territory for me. Ideally I would like to keep her setup similar across the bikes. I'm thinking either Shimano or HT. HT seems very popular on the BMX...

    Frozen spoke nipples

    I have a couple older wheelsets with aluminum nipples that need to be trued but they have frozen nipples. Any trick to "unfreezing" them. One is real bad, all stuck. On another set, some move but are tight, others seem stuck. So I guess some are more severe than others. I saw online someone...

    Help Finding Pivot Bearings

    I am looking for two 6803 bearings with an inner race that extends 3mm on one side. Anyone know where I can find these? This is for a Ghost chain stay pivot. REI is the sole dealer to support these bikes in the US and it's incredibly difficult to get parts from them. I have an inquiry in...

    1 finger on brake all the time?

    I realized this weekend that I ALWAYS have one finger on my brake. This is true when I'm jumping, bunny hopping, just cruising a long etc., I'm always covering the brake. Is this good or bad technique? I obviously formed this habit without realizing it, and it hasn't caused any issues I'm...

    Leaking Shimano Caliper?

    I have one shimano brake that keeps contaminating pads. Last time I looked for an obvious leak, didn't find one, cleaned it all up and put new pads on and was back in business. Now after a 3 month injury layoff, it's back to fractional braking power and honking like a goose. Given the...

    This is a crack right?

    I know it is, it follows the weld, and seems pretty clean, just but bums me out. Just tuned it up today after not riding for a while. Was clowning around around the house doing some trialsy stuff and saw it when I finished. I have been chasing a creak for a while though, so guessing I...

    Makeshift Frakenbike Dirt Jumper help

    I need help figuring out my best drivetrain option for this weirdo bike of mine. Last year I franken-biked my old street trials bike into a makeshift DJ. Mostly so I could ride the BMX track when I take my daughter. Turns out, the bike works really well for this purpose, and i like it more...

    Raceface Northshore XS Crank Parts

    Probably a longshot, but does anyone know where I can source one of the chainring tab insert things for these cranks? They are an odd design. The tabs for the big chainring (94bcd I think) are essentially plugs, that are held in with the small chainring bolts. These are off an old bike that's...

    SOLD-2014 Salsa El Mariachi Frame and Extras - Size L

    Asking $300 for what's pictured Bought here last year as a complete single speed build to try out SS. Cool bike but wasn't the best fit, and didn't really suit my riding style, so I put less than 150 miles on it before tearing it down to steal parts for another project. -Frame: I believe...
