  I have a very cheap mini velo frame which has an opening of 122mm to 124mm depending where on the horizontal dropout I take the measurement. I think that's supposed to be for a 120mm spacing. Any objections?

  For shorter trips I ditch the rack and two packs attached to it.

  Don’t know anything about watches, but to me these look like some kind of calibration. They can easily be jumped in manufacturing.
  All go to the same potential (gnd?) so the microcontroller can read these out and adjust accordingly.

  The bike looks so good with the 26"!

  Try these with TPU tubes like Schwalbe Aerothan. I've really enjoyed riding my old stumpy with Aerothans and 26" billy bonkers. Way better feeling than with standard tubes.

  They are about 5 years old. I just niticed that one of the pistons gets a little stuck every now and then when I try to push it back BH hand. I'll take then apart and do a rebuild with fresh seals & pistons.

  I'm having troubles with one of my Hope E4 calipers. During my last ride, the front caliper seized up and after pushing the pistons back on the trail I was able to limp home with out a front brake. I cleaned the pistons and lubed them with some silicone lube. Hope recommends some hunter lube which I can't get in Germany at the moment, so I used liqui moly silicone lube. However, the pistons still don't fully return. Any idea what's going on?
