    What is going on with this wheel?

    Cosmetic. It's on the rim joint which is solidly pinned.

    earthquake

    I felt it. Sitting up in bed reading I heard what sounded like possums running around in the roof space. Then the wobbles began and I realised that was no possum. Felt two distinct waves, then the garage next door groaned.

    What has wheels, brakes, cranks, mtb tyres but isn't a mountain bike???

    Thinking as an ex-racer, nah. Shit aero 'cos too upright, too heavy, especially unsprung with the internal gear hub, and too much suspension compromise/arsing about to set up for eight different riders.

    The Good Old Stuck Seat Post

    My former boss did the caustic soda method once when all other attempts at extraction had failed. It really worked!

    The Good Old Stuck Seat Post

    Use a caustic soda solution poured into the frame to dissolve the post (assuming it's aluminium). The frame will not be affected.

    Newly Released Suspension & Components General

    I'm pretty sure all Shimano 4-pot calipers use the same size pistons. The M8020 XT 4-pot is exactly the same caliper as M820 Saint, just coupled to the M8000 levers. M8120 is a mild evolution.

    Cable runs up & attaches from the inboard side of the derailleur.

    Giant trance, why one side threaded

    Measure the internal diameter as is. In proper form it should be 41mm, It looks like there are remnants of some sort of adaptor stuck in there, so it may be salvageable. An ID less than 41mm will confirm it. BSA threaded is around 35mm.

    That vintage frame is press-fit.

    The 32"/32er Discussion Thread

    My ride is a 559 (keep the measurements real please!), tried a few 622s but only found one or two that felt OK, keep that size for road. Rode a few 584s & I could get along alright with them; would be my go-to if 559 completely fell off the planet. Dunno what the ISO is for so-called 32", but...

    Formula One world championship

    George Russell on the F3 test red flags: "I was surprised they had 19 red flags. Then I drove it on the sim and was surprised they only had 19 reds." MAD-ring indeed.

    How the fuck does a track with absolutely zero run-off area pass FIA safety standards?
