The X-low is a bit faster indeed, and as Dave says: you can easily touch the ground with your hands when standing still. Both versions are easily to handle....
I am not sure about the newer version, but older X-lows have no mounts for idlers to route the chain over the wheel. They intended it as a race bike, so down...
Help. I've got one of the Optima carbon headrests for a standard Baron. Completely nonplussed as to how it is supposed to work, because if I fit the carbon...

I have a set of thracian wheels on my baron, and schwalbe stelvio tires front and rear. Somehow, the front tire has started unraveling along the sidewall near...
Greg, Is the sidewall problem with the Stelvio being caused by the tire rubbing on a dropped chain when you turn? Also, some friends have recently swapped the...
That would have been my first guess, but it's on the opposite side of the chain. I can't think of anything that could have made contact with the tire. What's...
Greg, I quite like the Stelvios, and particularly the folding ones. Only trouble I've ever had was a bubble in the sidewall on a 406 after only 2000kms, but...
One other thing to consider is if a crack is an actual frame or paint crack, mine for instance is the version that is reinforced on the bottom (2002 frame?)...
I don't have the carbon headrest but I've been through almost a dozen bags for storing stuff, my recommendation is some shops sell a small tubular handlebar...
I purchased a Fastback Norback frame bag which fits very neatly under the seat under the frame of my new Baron. It holds a Topeak Road Morph pump, tools,...
I am a nut for Fastback stuff. I have used the Norback on all my bikes. Nice, but a little small. I have been using a Fastback LR on the Baorn for a while. For...

Good point! The Road Morph G (current model I believe) has a few improvements, one of which is a clip-in bracket which is frame mounted by two large cable...
I think the Fastback split bag for lowracer hard-seat machines is the Fastback HalfBack LR. Love to hear your views and experience of it after you have used it...
FWIW, I love my Solo Racer bags on my VK2. For me they are the perfect size - hydration bladder on one side and tools, etc. on the other (with room for a...
