Pretty sure that's a Stronglight 93. The corners of its arms are sharply squared, and the 105's arms are more rounded. I still have scars on the nubs of my ankles from when I was 13 or 14 and had my...

Stiff thanks to that Spline Triple Butted tubing. Before they made bikes, they made rifle barrels.

That metal one is for 1" threaded, and I wouldn't want metal that thin anywhere near my carbon steerer. I've pored over Peter White's site, as well as BUMM.DE looking at the various brackets. The B&M...

I discovered the big flaw to my plan... The rivnuts on the side of the fork aren't square with the plane of the wheel (they're all sloping in towards the wheel - it's symmetrical, and intentional)....

I should also add that my backup plan is a 28.6mm rack-mount-adapter seat clamp in place of one of my headset spacers. I've ordered the Axiom Gear Trekk version. I'm hoping that it does actually have...

I'm facing a similar puzzle at the moment on my gravel bike, with the added wrinkle that the fork is carbon, and has no crown hole that goes through. There's a rivnut in the back to mount a fender,...

Two of my last three bikes have been used frames that needed repainting, and the 3rd was a complete bike I wanted to keep as a beater. But for years, I've been gazing longingly at several models by...

When I've used Linseed Oil, I dip the spoke before lacing it. Linseed oil doesn't really harden the way other threadlockers do.

Bought an '87 Trek 330 last month. I'd swapped out the 42t ring with a 46T triplizer. Initially, I'd put a 24t granny on it, but the XCD6000 RD just didn't have enough wrap capacity, so I replaced it...

Remove the locknut, washers & spacers, and the cone (if you pull the axle, do it over a bowl to catch any bearings). You should now be able to pop off the dust shield with a flat screwdriver.
