The Best Of Lubes vs The Rest Of Lubes - Jan. 16, 2020, 11:31 a.m.

Love Dumonde tech chain lube.

You really like the Boeshield for rust protection in frames? Have not heard that use before.

I have not tried them, but agreed—-intriguing idea.

Thanks for the considered response! I’ll take your advice to at least check one out & try it on.

I like the idea of softer foam, but like damn, could they put in two more vents? Is there a middle ground?

You make it sound good but I could never imagine wearing that expect for in the dead of winter.

WTB's New Saddle Fit System - Nov. 14, 2019, 6:33 a.m.

Was considering a SQ Lab, except for the price—— but got as far as sitting on cardboard. WTBs system pegged my sit bones very close to the cardboard method. I popped on a lightly used Silverado wide from EBay right away. Never tried the Silverado but the old SST is still my favorite so I have a good feeling. Will report back.

Hi velociraptor,

I think we’ve traded comments before about 1-1/8” 20mm forks before. Just so happens I have a coil uturn Pike that just got liberated. I would love for it to go to a good home. PM me if interested.

My regret is a F&R set of Brooklyn Machine Works snot rocket v-brakes- they were a total pain to set up and maintain (deflate tire every time I took off the wheel), incredibly strong and gloriously unrefined looking. Purchased right out of their shop on Powers Street in BK. I ebayed them for good $$ to someone in Norway I think. Meanwhile I still live in Brooklyn with zero bike parts that have BROOKLYN machined into them. Life is strange.

Schwalbe ProCore Revisted - Aug. 31, 2019, 7:23 a.m.

One this article was posted, I looked up Procore in 26” too —— saw them for $75 everywhere from Target.com to Amazon. They may exist somewhere? Good luck!

26” 1-1/8” lyrik NOS CSUs on eBay—- not mine but I picked one up:

Early Rider Belter 16 Trail - Reviewed - May 22, 2019, 6:16 a.m.

Just saw this review posted and worried I was going to see something that made me second-guess——— too late though, we’ve got one coming Friday for my little girl’s 4th birthday, largely thanks to your first look article. Never would have spent that much without your detailed look at it.

Not to worry though! Sounds like it’s going great. How old is your little one? Mine also loves the asphalt pump track here in Brooklyn and kills it on her balance bike.

I also ordered a BMX style stem pad for her, I worry transitioning from the all-plastic, no edges cockpit of her balance bike may be tough with any spills. And I’m sure purple grips will be needed very soon.

Crankbrothers Stamp 1 Flat Pedal - May 17, 2019, 7:24 a.m.

Thank for the feedback! Size 47 shoe, so I’m exited about the new trend towards larger pedals. Currently on some forgettable Wellegos that are actually shockingly nice, but on the smaller side.

The Synth looks grippy and tough- that’s my only reservation about the Konas, they look a little fragile.
