    Can XT shifters be split open?

    My right side shifter (M770) was acting up so I removed all the screws and cracked it open. I was not able to completely open the shifter with the large silver lever attached but I could still spray some WD40 in there to clean and lube things up. It's now working like a champ again. But...

    Replacing SPD top plates?

    I have a pair of XT pedals (PD-M770) that I have used for one season. The peals have some play when pulling up, especially the left side which I clip out of more often. I thought it was worn cleats but new ones did not solve the problem. I also tried tightening the tension screws but that did...

    Anyone here riding a Hellafaster?

    I know it gets great reviews but I'm wondering how the stiff alum frame will fare on not so smooth NJ roads. I'm thinking about a frame / build for my 1st road bike. I'd like to use it for training with the option to race if I ever get the desire to... Thanks!

    DT Swiss 10mm x 135mm thu bolt

    DT Swiss RWS 10mm x 135mm thu bolt New, never used. Came with my 240S hub and I don’t need it. Retails for $55, it’s yours for $30. Can be picked up when I ride at Mahlon, Lewis or Kittatinny. Or give me another 5 bucks to mail it.

    Biking from Berkshire Valley Rd to Howard Blvd?

    I think this is possible. The idea of biking from my house (I live right off B Valley Rd) to Pub 199 sounds good on paper. But I guess it would be harder to bike home with a belly full of Lobster. If anyone is up for doing this (who knows the way) let me know. Thx!

    Did anyone catch the survivor man episode...

    ...with Les mountain biking in Utah? I know he ended up cannibalizing the bike to help him survive but don’t you think they could have used something better bike wise? I think it said Victory? And the opening scene had him falling during a downhill ride. Nuff said… But overall I’m a...

    Hope Mini X2 Brakes. Get them while you can!

    Here’s a quick review for these puppies. I’m posting this just after one ride because these are on clearance all over the net right now. Go get them. Hope is coming out with a slightly lighter version for 2010 (275gr vs. 290 gr) but unless you are a complete weight weenie the price will not...

    Northern NJ LBS that stocks Hope parts?

    Particularly the hose fitting and olive for a 5mm hose. Re-usable my ass! I’d like to find that British dude from the Hope videos and give him a piece of my mind. Anyway, I live in Roxbury and I’m going to start making calls in the morning. But I figure maybe someone here knows a shop...

    Custom wood axle holder…

    So I got this great new DT Swiss 240s for a wheelset that I’m going to have built up soon. I got the 10x135 version to stiffen up the rear. And I’m going to convert the star ratchets for 10 deg engagement. The DT PDF on the servicing the hub shows using the park tool AV-1 to get the tight...

    How to prep new brake pads…

    I just picked up some organic aluminum backed pads for my BB7s. What should I do (if anything) to the pads before installing them. Is there anything special I should do to break them in? Thanks!

    Your suggestions for a light-weight tire (tubed) for northern NJ…

    I just got my ‘06 specialized epic together and it rocks. Somewhere in the last few weeks I killed the freewheel on my old (very old) wheelset so I picked up a set of crossrides real cheap to use for now. Knowing that they are pinned I don’t think I want to attempt tubeless with them. But I...

    Best way to clean and lube derailleur cables?

    This is something I’ve never done to my 8 year old bike. I figure if I do it might make my shifts better. The cables are new (recently installed XT shifters) but the casings are original. Thanks!

    Do any north NJ shops do repairs by appointment…

    My rear hub is not spinning like it should and needs some service. Is there a shop in northern NJ that will make an appointment for the service so I don’t have to drop the wheel off and wait a week? I live in Roxbury.... Thanks!
