Mine is done with a hanger from the headset. Avid tri-aligns with M900 levers.

If anyone had an interest in an pristine Giro Helios in large, I have one sitting around doing nothing.

Brilliant. I've been looking for a solution for this as well for about 10 years...

Conti Pro 1 on the back and a Crosscountry on the front. Always used to race on Smoke Lite Comps front and rear BITD. Never got on with the Dart.

I guess I'll have to build up my 230s on my M900 hubs then (complete with titanium axles and titanium bolts that never worked too well on suspension, but now I'm back to rigid, work fine...). Honestly, I'm not kidding. I've had this stuff sitting around for years and it really looks like its...

I can't recommend the Atek for rim brakes (except perhaps parallel linkage brakes). The rim shape falls away from the brake pads as they actuate. Brake adjustment is very difficult and minor brake wear results in the pads slipping off the rims. Feels rubbish at the lever too. I have...

I know a fair bit about cars... ... and some of it might just translate. If you think of the combination of tyre and suspension as the total suspension system, its job is to be a low pass filter. The buzz and bumps of the terrain should be evened out, in order for the "signal" of terrain...

I've got a Giro Helios from '96. Bought it a bit big, so essentially it is unused. If anyone wants a period piece Giro 60-63cm give me a shout.

sounds about right

s'funny because my battleship grey road M2 is in perfect condition

This is a very sad story. Back whenever, I fell for the idea of getting an S-Works M2 hardtail frame and carbon FSX fork. I had an S-Works M2 road bike which I loved so it seemed to make perfect sense. I bought the frame. I built it up. I went for the test ride and it didn't want to go in...

I hinted at it in my post. I raced on suspension (Manitou 2 and Pace RC35AB) and could not understand the fuss. Usually when I needed control, the fork was compressed out completely and gave me less control. The season I changed to rigid fork blades in the Pace fork was when I started getting...

An Answer A-Tac zero rise 150mm stem was daft. I'm a heavy rider and always was even back when I was racing XC. Never could understand why my sus fork was compressed out to the point of uselessness on the Pipeline at Newnham. The Ritchey Z-Max WCS 1.7 tyres (red compound) were another...

If you do your research, I think you'll find it was cheeseburgers in the company of Hans Rey...

My Conti Comp Pro 1 must be getting on for eight years old now - retro in its own right and discontinued for most of this millennium. I've been out-climbing and clearing climbs in all conditions for so long and I know the rear tyre has been the reason. When it finally succumbs, what sort of...

15 years on an IFT - one careful owner What a happy evening's googling to turn up this place. I'm still riding my 1st mountain bike - a '92 Indian Fire Trail. Got back into regular riding last year. Did my first race in a decade on the IFT back in the spring. I've ruined it all by...
