I've used KMC x10.93 and Shimano Ultegra 6701 chains on my Campy Record 10 speed bike, as well as Campy chains. All perform about but same, but the Campy costs more and, in my opinion, isn't worth...

I haven't tried Black Label, but I have a few pair of Caliber, which is one level down from Black Label, and they are my favorite bibs. Nice fit, really good pad.

I find that Park Tool has a lot of good stuff on their website. Also, Global Cycling Network on YouTube has a number of roadside repair videos. I think if you Google the specific repairs you listed...

That's right, I don't feel the gritiness with the crank installed.

Another way to describe what I feel when rotating the bearing with my finger is that it's similar to the feeling of manually...

Gretings:

My frame has a bb86 shell. I recently came into an FSA 386evo crankset. My previous crankset is standard 130bcd, whereas the 386evo is 110bcd, and I'd like a smaller chainring (34 or...

I can't speak to how they handle warranty issues with bikes, but with other items I've found that they exchange the defective item for a new one, no questions asked. I've had nothing but positive...

I was able to install a 12-30 on my Fuji Roubaix (Shimano 105 (5700) with short cage derailleur) without a single adjustment. I believe derailleur hanger geometry has a lot to do with it.
