good point.

Ninja'd by a minute... but that half-inch is about the same amount as the width to the centerline of the hood, so at least we agree.

Try mechanics.

Not that you're likely to be interested, Bah Humbug , but someone on KKF is selling a purty 200mm Bloodroot for under $600 :love:

It is one heckuva long throw. I checked mine (5800) super-eyebally and a full sweep has the tip going ~2.25" inboard from the inside of the lever head (not center as you drew).

Thanks! :thumb:

I'll assume 3" from centerline of the bars to give a bit of wiggle room. I'm at around 2.8" right now.

I really appreciate it!

Painting. Ugh.

Who makes the best groupset? :innocent:

Can anyone here help?

You may have lost them at the mention of handlebar bag.

Wiseass.

But because my OCD compels me to answer, the only real options are R7000 and R8050/70. I just can't see any other realistic options above poverty-spec.

Probably correct.

Not a gin drinker really, but do tell how it tastes.

This pm, long-suffering spouse gets an email that the PPP loan for her practice is approved. She is overjoyed, puts down her phone, opens the email on her iPad to sign some e-form to accept, clicks some random button and somehow declines the loan! Of course, there’s no help available. She’s been beside herself all evening, poor woman. She’ll go to the bank in person in the morning.

I was going to write that word for word, but thought it might come off too cynical. :D

Got the Hirame head and mounted it to the Lezyne CNC. After first stripping the silly plastic wrap on the hose that would only melt when a heat gun got anywhere near it. :foo:
Only got the hose onto the first barb, which made the included clamp way oversize. But it's pretty solidly on there anyway. Even with the rubber and metal scalding hot (I wore work gloves and it was still hot) it was a super tight fit. Works great, and I really like how when it's released there's practically no leakage. The jury's out on whether it's better than my Joe Blow Pro, but it's good to have another solid pump. :thumb:

I used some hand sanitizer and got it in no problem, and tight enough that I don’t need a clamp. It’s really well designed and made.

Another time I was dropped on a climb and flatted and my old co2 inflater fell apart. Luckily I had the pump.

In ancient history I always carried a Zefal frame pump. One time I knocked it off with my knee when going through an intersection. I parked the bike and started walking back to get it from the crosswalk where it landed. A woman in a car had been waiting for the green light and saw the whole thing. She looked at me and then ran right over my pump.

I have two or three Zefal HPX 3 and an ancient, on its last legs HPX4. I bought the Blackburn for my tour because I didn't want to pack that failing HPX4. First chance I got I bought a brand new HPX3

I cannot stand sanding or painting. One of my bikes held the title of worst paint job ever, over in C&V
