    Fox Crown/Streerer creak - no purchase receipt - am I shafted?

    Yo ho, I've got the dreaded crown/steerer creak on a pair of reasonably new Fox forks - the rub is that I don't have a purchase receipt, because they came on a (basically new) secondhand bike. Has anyone had any luck in a similar situation? From what I hear, it's not an uncommon problem, but...

    1.5" headset that doesn't suck a salty one?

    Rigid content - Reviving a Foundry MFG

    A few of you may remember the Foundry MFG's of yonder that Citrus Speed Imports were doing. Well, Rick had a few frames lying around in the warehouse that hadn't sold, so he was clearing them out on the cheap. I think the Foundry's were pretty much a Taiwanese catalog frame made from Sanko...

    Quick shout out for a local bike shop

    It's rare to see the humble LBS get a shout out these days when pretty much everyone is ordering parts from OS. I'm in no way affiliated with Ashgrove Cycles, but I wanted to tap out a kind word regardless. I dropped a pair of wheels in last night at 5:45pm (15 minutes from close) that needed...

    Hope pro 2 - freehub resistance

    Have some fairly new Hope Pro II's on the AM bike, and the freehub at the rear is encountering quite a bit of resistance. I took it apart, degreased, regreased and reassembled the whole mechanism, but there's still significant drag from the freehub. I've narrowed the resistence down to the...

    Granny ring guide plate... am I dreaming?

    I thought a few years ago I saw a chainguide plate that attached to the granny ring spider. From memory it had a rubberized outer lip to prevent excessive chain noise, and was only large enough to prevent the chain slipping off the granny ring and onto the frame. Was I hallucinating? I'd really...

    Intense Tracer VP - Now With Faux Deemax

    I think Rone is going to flip out when he sees this. When I bought the Tracer, it had a beautifully consistent white theme. That was great until I killed the Syncros rims and stumbled across some Deemax lookalikes.... Enter the hideous yellow MTX29's now laced up. I love them! Bit heavier...
