Hokkaido Anxiety posted:I'm looking at buying a fixed gear/single speed (Wabi) because I love throwing money away on a whim, and I'm curious about anyone else's experience with bullhorn handlebars with the top mounted brakes. If I were riding on a singlespeed /w bullhorn bars, I'd want tt / reverse brake levers at the ends of the horns, rather than interrupter levers. Not my bike, but you get the idea: https://i.imgur.com/DesMRSY.jpg. It's also possible to have both kinds of levers on the bars, if you want to be able to brake from both hand positions.

Mister Speaker posted:This is all great, thanks. As far as what size 'big BMX', I would want something comparable in size to my Giant, so basically I've been looking at stuff 26" and up. Some of the stuff from SE Bikes, as well as the Haro Downtown, are what I've been eyeing, mostly. Gearing is still a concern, like I said the only thing I really don't like about the BMX is that I wish it had a higher top speed; I know this isn't really what they're for which is why I'm wondering if that's even what I want. The Surly Lowside is BMX inspired kinda? The completes are single speed but there's a derailleur hanger on the frame if you want to use it. Not cheap, though.

Objurium posted:It's getting to be about time to slap some new brake pads on my bike, and I don't seem to be able to track down OEM replacements. I've got Promax 330R disc brakes on my Salsa, and the manufacturer's SKU for replacements isn't in stock anywhere that I can see after some google digging. Jagwire makes compatible pads and they're a legit brand that should be in-stock. The part numbers are the same for their Avid BB5 pads so you should be able to use Avid BB5 compatible pads, in general.

sweat poteto posted:Unfortunately fabric doesn't do a short version of that saddle yet, so I'm looking at mtb saddles now. The gel saddle is shorter but it’s also wider and they don’t make it with ti rails. I like it on more upright bikes

Hadlock posted:What in simple green causes hydrogen embrittlement, though? During the degreasing process does it release hydrogen gas, or something? I've never ever heard of hydrogen embrittlement being an issue except in aerospace where they have thin walled tanks of high pressure hydrogen. Do you have a link or something? Comparing the MSDS: Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner / Extreme Simple Green Aircraft & Precision Cleaner, perhaps the sodium compounds? I am not a chemist or metallurgist. skul-gun fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Heliosicle posted:Are there any saddles that have a middle ground of padding where they are fairly comfortable without bibs, but not too squishy with them? I ride my commuter bike with and without bibs. The current saddle I have (Bontrager Montrose) is fine with bibs, but really uncomfortable without. I'll 2nd the fabric scoop radius

EvilJoven posted:Idk if I'd take that risk to avoid buying a new ring after seeing two staff members have to change rings on their own bikes that came witby supposedly 12s compatible narrow wide rings because of chain suck and have a bike on the floor with a 100$ discount because of mangled paint at the BB shell because of the same. Wolf Tooth has different tooth profiles, one specifically for for Shimano 12sp and that may be related to what your staff experienced. So, it's complicated and annoying.

Salt Fish posted:Are there any short-cage clutched derailleurs that I should have on my radar for this 20" build? I looked at Saint, Zee, GX DH, X01 DH, Acolyte, and Advent. So far Acolyte super-short is on the top of my list, but the clutch system looks a little crude maybe, and I'm not sure I want a part marketed for children's bikes, but that's not an actual real reason not to get it if its quality. 11-38T 8 speed would be pretty nice for this build. A fun thing about the microshift advent/acolyte stuff is that they have compatible pull ratios: Microshift groupsets are interchangeable (not my video) That said, the zee fr derailleur is on sale right now for not that much more than acolyte: ZEE RD-M640 Shadow Plus Rear Derailleur. The cassette will cost more, of course.
