OK folks...the Baron is down. Broke the aluminum adjustable stem portion of the tiller. The portion that clamps to steerer tube. Weld broke (completely thru)...
Folks, I have to sell my Baron. It was to be my fast commuter but shortly after buying it and building it up we saw our dream home in the hills outside Perth....
... Sorry about that. Of course, the standard inner for a road triple is 32, which means you would sacrifice a tooth going to a compact double. C'est la vie! ...
... (mind you, I'm ... diameter. Unless ... fork like the ... I can be forgiven for seeing things then, as the outer diameter is 40mm. That makes one hefty...
A 30/52 setup can`t be done on a double because the smallest ring you can get in a 110mm bcd is 33-T and the smallest ring you can get in a 130mm bcd is...
Hi My frame looks like it could take 1 1/8" forks, and that it has an adaptor headset in it - ie. my forks have a 1" steerer. Could this be possible, or an I...
... If all you're looking at is gear ratios, then I'd tend to agree. But the quality of shifting is a major issue, too. The larger the difference in ...
Last weekend I went on a trip in Holland. We did about 240 km in two days. It was the first time we did such a long trip. We stayed overnight in a hotel. We...
Hi As has already been mentioned, you need a wider bb. The standard triple size for a baron is 127mm. If you are running old fashioned square tapered bb, then...
Hi I think I've mentioned before that I've had lots of trouble with my gears. Well, I think I've solved the problem - the derailleur hanger was out of...
Hi I hope you don't mind me chipping in! I went along to Cycle Vision in Holland last weekend, where I got a chance to take a very close look at and try out...
Hi John Good question. I think that because a friend already had one and that was the one I tried it was quite easy. I was afraid that I would miss some kind...
Hi Hasse - I also have had herniated disk surgery. I live in an area were there are no Baron or M5 dealers. How did you decide on a Baron vs. an M5? Thanks! -...
Greg, the problem is that the small ring is too close to the boom, making it impossible for the derailleur cage to move inward enough for shifting. The obvious...
My front der. doesn't seem to want to let the chain drop to the front chainring. I can baby it down most of the time by torquing the shifter past its index...
Marc, Wow, thanks for taking the time to do this for me.... I REALLY appreciate it! That gives me a good idea of how low the Glidflex can go. I have to get...
Ok, ok. Sorry about that. I re-setup and remeasured. Setup: bike resting on floor, seat all the way upright, glidflex stem adjusted as far down as it will...
Geoff, Ok, I sat the Baron on the floor, removed the seat pad and adjusted the glidflex set screw to its minimum. Using a plumb line (a hand level held ...

Gavin, all, After a bit of tooling around tonight, I have discovered (to my surprise), that the adjustment screw for altering the lever's reach also adjusts...
Never had any trouble with my xt hydraulic levers. Good tip is to use a rubber band(s) to hold the brakes on while the bike is not in use. I don't understand ...
My fastest average times to work were one MPH faster with my first Optima carbon tailfairing then without a tailfairing (26.5 vs 25.5 over 14 mile route). I...
Folks, Have any of you had trouble with hydraulic brake levers sucking air due to the angle they live at on a recumbent? I have a pair of shimano dual control...
From Flying Furniture Cycles: Hasse, I used an M5 tailfairing on the BARON I raced recently. It works well. 1kg weight, adds speed on every test I've done,...
Geoff, Bro' Don and I use the TerraCycle Glideflex stem to raise the height (we're FOGs). Since it adds height to the stem, I'm not sure if the angular...
