"The beatings will continue until morale improves." Gosh, there are a lot of punishment advocates here! Yes, everyone can be stronger, fitter, and thinner. But in the meantime, I really don't think...

$850 to $1050 on ebay for new Force 1X: rear derailleur, two rim brake/shifter levers, battery and charger. The cassette, bottom bracket, crankset, brakes not included. Even so, I would bite if I...

[QUOTE=smashndash;21855277]XDR and DUB imply you are using Force or Red eTap AXS. Those groups run for $1800+. If you're spending that kind of money, you probably don't have an older bike with 135mm...

Good observations, thanks! I wonder about DUB. Even SRAM doesn't make much variety of cranksets for it. Their DUB road cranks are carbon and very expensive - $420 list for the Force and the Red is...

Everyone Loves Standards! That's why we have so many

Question: which of these recent standards do you think will catch on for road bikes in the next few years? I'll define "catch on" as being used on mid-price nice road bikes and groupsets - Shimano...

It's actually spaced at 128 mm, and I had my wheel re-spaced to match. I know, maybe didn't have to, but I didn't want it to be fiddly to take off and put on in a pinch. It doesn't seem to be easy to...

Thanks - my bike is a 1989 Trek aluminum with Shimano 105 of that era. It sat in the garage since the 1990s, but I dusted it off and really enjoyed riding this past year. I got a new rear wheel with...

A little twist on the question - is there an XDR freehub body which will fit on a Shimano Tiagra hub? I'm trying to upgrade a late 1980s vintage Trek aluminum bike to SRAM Force etap AXS, but would...

I thought I'd circle back to this post and tell you what I decided to do. I measured the drop-out with a caliper and it comes to 127.8 mm. Took the bike to a local shop and they let me put in a 130...

You guys got me to take the wheel off and try to eyeball the drop-out width with a transparent ruler, and lo and behold, it sure looks like 128mm to me. I will confirm with calipers when I buy some....

Are you resizing the spacers or just jamming the 130mm in there? Are you changing the whole drive train or just sticking a 6 or 7 speed cassette on there with the same derailleur, chain, and...

I will get some calipers on Amazon and see what they say. I don't trust my eyes with a ruler. I think you said that it's possible to change the width of locknuts and spacers to get a 130mm freehub to...
