It’s definitely not the cable anchor. It’s the center pivot bolt. I’ve taken the caliper apart and cleaning/lubing all the bolts and pivots. For some reason I can’t remove the center pivot bolt. I’ve...

Thanks guys, very helpful and a great sanity check. I’ve ridden my share of dented bikes in the past but never a dented steel seat tube.

I plan on riding this bike a ton as a retro-upgrade so I’m...

Dented steel seat tube

Hi, as the title suggests I’m curious about issues with a small dent on a steel seat tube. I just received a ‘90s steel Serotta TG. Unfortunately the package was damaged in transit and the seat tube...

I don’t even know what a Firmstrong is. I’d stay away from Amazon bikes and the build from a quality shop on a better brand will be the much better choice.

I’m rebuilding a frame off of a bike I got for next to nothing. It’s a 87 Schwinn World with a Suntour 7 rear derailleur but 2x5 setup. Stem shifters, sugino crank, Weinman 27” wheels etc.

I was...

it’s really dependent on how much lateral movement your knee has through the stroke. Don’t get too technical about it and any float is better than zero. Then again some people are completely fine...

My son is 8, about 49-50” tall and rides a 24” wheeled Trek MTB just fine. While stand over height maybe close remember that the important distances are when they are actually riding it. If they’re...
