Built this up for my significant other as a kid‘s carrier. Took it for a spin in the woods today. Those 90ies mtbs really are great fun. (Sorry for nds pic)

Very cool. Interested to see how you‘ll do the internal routing and the dimpling.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on these cranks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050025­76966535.html I'm wondering if anyone has ordered these or similar before and knows if the logos will rub of with acetone.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, I thought I was in the Ali-Express one. Thanks for replying anyway.

Anyone knows the colour code for the grey v4 Pomp? Trying to spray carbon forks in matching paint.

I'm not running it fixed, so I wouldn't know.

I'm running 32c Paselas with 45mm Bluemels on my Pomp V4 with no issues.

You all are right, the indexing was off. So much for overthinking [facepalm]
Tested it by winding out the barrel adjuster, which improved things. Eventually reattached the cable with more tension and voilá.
Thanks everyone for your help!

I'm looking for a handlebar bag in cylindric shape. So far I've found the Restrap Canister Bag and the Wizard Works Lil Presto!. Not a big fan of Restrap and the Wizard Works one is out of stock.
Is there anything similar out there?

I've just finished (well not quite) setting up shifters on my bike. All new cables and outers, chain and cassette with used Sram Force shifters and rear derailleur. Shifting is super smooth and switching from Shimano I really love double tap.

One problem though: I can't shift into the lowest gear / largest sprocket in the back. When I try, it shifts up and immediately back down to the second largest sprocket. The shifter makes a noise which sounds like the usual upshift sound, directly followed by the downshift sound. It feels almost like after the upshift something forces the downshift. I can upshift and hold the lever in the position and it will stay on the largest sprocket until I let loose. The shifter also behaved that way, even when it wasn't hooked up to any cables.

Rear derailleur h+l screws are setup correctly, cable tension is fine, derailleur hanger is not bent.

That leads me to think either something with the indexing in the shifter is broken. Which I have no idea how to troubleshoot and fix. Or something with the derailleur and cassette combination/setup is off.

In case of the second option, it might be related to this: after shifting down to the smallest sprocket, I can make an additional shift down, which leaves the chain on the smallest sprocket and doesn't push it off the cassette. It almost feels like a half-shift. Is this a trimming feature or setup error? If the issue is related to that, could it be that the half-shift would actually shift into the smallest sprocket if setup correctly? Maybe because of a missing spacer or compatibility issue with the cassette or hub? I'm not using any spacers on the hub.

Components:
Sram Force DoubleTap Shifters (10x Road)
Sram Force Derailleur (10x Road)
Shimano CS-HG500-10 (10x Mountain)
Shimano XT FH-M756A Rear Hub (10x Mountain)

Thanks for your help!

Thanks! The search for a rack continues then :-(

Can anyone identify the rack on this one?

Looking sharp! What tubes is it built from and how much does it weight?

Some hubs allow to swap the end caps to switch between qr and thru.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a chinese Hylix for my CdF. Needs a a QR adapter though.

Thanks!

That makes sense. I guess I could also try to rotate the smaller ring to get the teeth line up better. There are 5 possible combinations. So I guess one should work. I will order the new ring and report back.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, 48/34 and 46/36 is confirmed to work by SRAM. But not 48/36. So that's why I'm unsure.

Not sure that is the best place to ask, but I figured the gravel peeps in here should have experience with converting cranksets to smaller gears...

I have a rival22 crankset with 52/36. I'd like to switch the 52 for 48 chainring. Sram seems to recommend to run 48 chainrings with 34's.
I'd like to keep the smaller ring though. So I was wondering if it 48/36 also technically works, or are there any problems to be expected?

Thanks all! I will try some of the tips. How long should the tire stay inflated without any sealant in?

From what I read, you're not supposed to use pliers and only thighten it hand-tight.

First time tubeless user here. After installing tape and tire on the rim I could get the tire to seat by inflating it with a track pump. It made a few "ploing" noises and the tire holds air for like 20-30 seconds without sealant. I can hear a hissing sound from the air escaping around the valve area. Does this seem ok to you and will properly seal once the sealant is added or should I reinstall tape and valve? I just want to avoid the mess of having to reinstall after the sealant was added.

Saw that in the flesh at the Kolektif bike fair in Berlin. By far the nicest bike that was exhibited there.

Thanks!
