I don't see how friction is increased using spacers on NDS vs. DS. It seems sand and rocks abrading the frame, as OP reported, would create more friction than a spacer. The spacer is the same...

You can get some 0.5 mm spacers from Wheels Mfg and put them between the NDS crank and the frame. I used two spacers (1.0 mm) to make some clearance between my 4iiii power meter crank arm and my...

Awesome frame. The stock groupset is Ultegra/105 level, but for the FSA crank. I would replace the stock discs, though; they were howlers (at least on mine). Wheels are worth an upgrade from stock....

I like Sram "Red" Tape, which comes in red or black and costs about $20. Fabric knurled tape is nice too, but a little more expensive. Both are very grippy.

Sorry. See you posted your weight at 175 with the seat cap in middle of range. Makes no sense to me that you would feel such dramatic movement from the IsoSpeed. I haven’t ridden a CheckPoint, so...

I have a 2016 Boone, which has the IsoSpeed. It isn’t adjustable, but i would never describe it as bouncing and bobbing. I weigh 165, though. Original poster, what do you weigh?

I have a Boone with two disc wheel sets. One with 28 mm Continental GP 4000s tires, the other with 38 mm Schwalbe G-One All-Rounds. Love the flexibility. Others have said that you don’t NEED two...

I had front brake squeal on my Boone. "Squeal" doesn't do it justice. More like a banshee screeching. It was so bad that I found myself subconsciously avoiding using the front brake for the first...

About 1700 miles with G-One 35mm on Stan's Grail rims. Both were VERY difficult to mount, but once mounted, they inflated without drama using a floor pump. The replacement (due to normal wear, not...

John, I recall you ride the levees in Broward, right? If not, this wont apply, but if so, I think a 35mm or wider tire is the way to go south of Lox, but north of Lox is a lot smoother and those...

FloridaMTB, I don't know if you have decided yet, but I'd recommend the drop bar bike over the flat for more hand positions. Before you know it, you'll be doing 50 mile rides on the levees, and the...
