... Ouch! ... I'm told that the standard Optima fork is very good value for money, so unless you want something exotic... Velokraft's Stiletto is sex on a ...
Hi All, The place that I'm riding my bike is pretty flat, and i'm only using the large chain ring. My bike has a tripple chain ring setup. I'm thinking about...
No, Structurally, the inner chainrings are just for decoration, you don't need them on the bike. All the crank's strength is in the spider. I'd keep the...
Hello everyone since two years not much, but approx (in kilometers, make the conversion ! ) 13000 km now it is some short rides, during spring and summer long...
Hi all, I've now got my new custom-made asymetric (but not offset) front fork (I'll post pictures shortly), but I noticed that the bottom half of the ...
Dave, Optima`s webstore lists the Baron`s tiller stem at $54.22 US. I purchased one awhile back for my standard Baron. My Baron X-Low uses a VeloKraft carbon...
David - I have extra stems and risers in stock in both CF and aluminum. Dana ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...
... Hi David, About a year and a half ago, I had two aluminum handlebars custom made for me by Sam Whittingham that combined the stem and bar into one piece. I...
It is not clear to me if your bike is a regular or an X-low, but if the bars are at all in your way on a regular, they will be 2" higher on an X-low. I was ...
I have a regular Baron, but am considering putting an X-low tiller stem on it to lower the handle-bar height. Is that what will happen? Or is the X-low stem at...
... Hello Dave, My Baron is the low (or extra low, if you wish). The factory stem put the handlebar too close to my line of sight. I'm not aware of the stem...
Dave, As far as I can tell, the Baron Low has a stem that is not only lower, but also longer than a standard baron stem. This would make sense because my Baron...
G'day all, I've been an x-low baron rider since Jan 2004, previously a keen DF rider and racer, and am now thoroughly converted. Lots more fun and speed! One...
Hi Brad, I also have an X-Low Baron....without the tailfairing it weighs 21lbs. I`m sure I could get it under 20lbs if I really wanted to, but I`m happy with...
Hi Don, many thanks for the information. Would you remember how much weight was saved by moving to the lighter components ? What group of components would have...
Brad, I have all part weights written down, but I recently moved and still have many things packed away in boxes that I have not had the time to go through...
Has anyone experienced shin cramping riding the baron. I had not experienced this problem riding a traditional diamond frame bike but notice this problem...
Yeah, I've found that if I make a concerted effort to peddle in a circular motion it helps the cramp pass (and makes me go faster). HTH, Matthew Thyer Seattle,...
Hey guys, I have the regular baron - does anyone know just what the frameset itself weighs. Frame, fork, and tiller. Trying to get a handle on the starting...
... Hi All, I have received my replacement Baron X-low S/N DEMO. It is completely bare (no boom, no headset, just powdercoat and decals) with the re-inforcing...
Glad I finally got on here, I have had a Baron Discus for about a year and a half, so far it has 6400 miles on the clock. I noticed some previous posts on...
The TerraCycle idler is available with bearings that require an 8mm attaching bolt like the Baron has, or one with bearings that require a 10mm attaching bolt....
Thanks for the info, as far as the Aerospokes I'm not that concerned with the weight, I'll look into the idler Bad thing about that part breaking is that it...
As the fall is here and the winter is just around the corner I'm thinking about putting my baron on a trainer. But I'm a bit worried this might cause stress on...
... Yes, and it's a /very/ dull experience... ... Put it this way, it hasn't broken yet, after two winters on the trainer and three summers of hard racing. -- ...
I've put my Baron on the trainer a lot. I'm still riding with it on the trainer atm, even in late spring, since I busted my handle-bar stem. :( As Dave...
