    Flat bar gravel bike.

    Re: Thanks for the info. good to know it handles well on the flat bar, gives me a fallback if the flared drops dont work out. I have previously used the KS, on another bike, and was pretty good. The Coast stems not as cheap, though still 'budget'-ish, but the ext connector is on the lower...

    Flat bar gravel bike.

    Re: Hi, Im just building up my new Camino Al frame, and was initially going to go flatbar, and move stuff over from another bike, but even though Sonder sell a flat-bar variant whole bike, it apparently has exactly the same frame geometry as the drop-bar version, so as most advice seems to...

    Suitable shock bushes for a marin rift zone 1997

    Most newer rear shocks seem to have 12.7mm bushes, top and bottom. I've recently done a similar swapout on my Wolf ridge, and as the original shockworks unit had 12mm DP bushes, the alloy 'top hat' spacers that fitted over the steel pivot were therefore too loose within the bushes. You can...

    Hi, I'm after a set of the 1050 sprung levers with the non-aero top cable entry hoods. Would prefer levers to be unscratched/v.good, hoods not quite as important. Not sure if they come other than with black hoods, but dont mind if in white. Many thanks.
