Probably been answered loads before:
SRAM apex rear mech (long cage).

Which SRAM thumb shifter (10 speed) please?

so - as per prev. question about going road 1x9
1x9 road HYDRO? nada?

It's National Corned Beef Hash day next Wednesday.

Any harm in sticking shimano jockey wheels in a Sram derailleur? Same number of teeth.

The stock Sram jockey wheels with the cartridge bearing seize up after every clean (which is frequent with a cross bike). Not too bothered about the loss of a few watts by moving to bushings if it means I don't have to pull it apart twice a week.

This variable gears business is hard work.

Flat bar Doubletap if you're a tart, but any SRAM 10-speed MTB trigger otherwise.

You may need a bushing to centre them properly, because some SRAM use a small diameter bolt for one of the pulleys, but apart from that there's no problem.

Hope V-Twin with your preferred brifter.

Thanks.

awesome - will check it out.

(checks it out) ...gulp.... pricey :)

Threadless stem and headset, threaded steerer. Is it unwise? - has anyone tried it before?

Yes and yes.

Thanks!

Would you be clamping the stem on the threaded part? If the forks are from another frame and are long enough that you can clamp beneath them/chop off the threaded bit you'd be fine, though I suspect you wouldn't be asking if that was the case

Croix de Fer or Caadx ? - mainly road riding year round.

I also found their performance to be something of an acquired taste.

so, tubeless. I might sway to try.

30c schwalbe g ones, tle (TubeLessEasy).

but I dont want to switch my rims for the experiment.

could I use my built rims (velocity a23s) or is a tubeless ready rim a necessity?

also, generally, should I bother to go tubeless? is for fixienonskidder town biek. current tyres eat tubes every third ride. no fun.

cheers

so, tubeless

The tubeless thread is your friend. There are two versions of the A23, if you have the one labelled USA made you can tubeless, if you have the Aussie one don't do it.

Maybe change to better tyres and/or steer around debris.

ahhh will check. destickered though but the inner profile difference is clear enough to deduce their country of origin

theyre already 30c g ones, but the non folding ones and I bought them used, of which the latter of course makes for an unknown puncture history.
guy sold them because he got too many punctures. that couldve rang a bell...:/

clear flat section on the side -> usa made -> experiment tubeless are go. wish me luck and thanks for the infos!

I'm moving over a groupsets from old bike to new. As I put my chainset on the spindle fits through the right side of the bb OK but is too wide to fit through the left side. Looks too much to force. Y it no work?
