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...
Back in September I posted a photo of a 650c aero fork that I picked up on eBay and was planning to cut down to fit the 20"(406) wheel on my Baron.....here is...
Thanks for the answers and info Dave and Greg. Now I feel ok to put the bike on the trainer. I am probably a bit paranoid when stressing the frame. It's not...
Don, how are you normalizing the dropout spacing? It seems the new spacing would necessarily be less than the original. Or ar you just trying to make it an...
Hi John, After I get the other dropout back on the fork, I`ll measure the spacing to see exactly what I have and then machine the necessary spacers so that I...
I`m interested in hearing comments/opinions about the XRP wheels that are available from Optima since I`m considering ordering a set for one of my Barons. Don...
... Yeah, pretty much. There's also a 'class' that the coach is teaching, so you get to see a bunch of other people suffer with you. (or hopefully, suffer more...
Hi Don, I received my baron with XRP wheels before replace them with custom. They are prettier than the stock wheels (aero spokes) but are not great quality...
Hi Mark, The first pic of my picture section show XRP wheels and the second custom wheels. The rear custom is mtb wheel build with Mavic XC717 Disk rim with 32...
I just picked up a standard disc baron and have about 200 miles on it but find it rather sluggish. It is heavy - 30lbs - and too much drag in the drivetrain....
Novosport make quite a nice tri-spoke wheel, which I think can be ordered for 'disc'. I've got one, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. Mine makes quite a...
James - There are a number of things you can do to lighten your Baron, it just depends on how much you want to spend. For example, I have a Baron in the shop...
Read previous posts titled "x-low baron weight" for some weight reducing info.... ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired...
I got my Baron with caliper brakes, knowing full well that it would eventually get discs. I do at least a ride or two every year that has some very steep...
John - There is no way to mount the brake on the front side of the fork for the reasons you mentioned...the front idler braze-on precludes left turns! :) You...
Dana, I had the same problem on my first Baron when I converted it from disc brakes to caliper. I had an Ultegra long reach caliper brake that would not line ...
Odd, I went from a Vision R50 and I don't find my Baron sluggish, in fact I gained at least 5mph average speed I've also been looking at the Aerospokes but...
On 8/27/004 I placed a healthy down payment on a Baron Frameset,It will be in Houston Texas in a few days, I joined the Group back then and have been keeping...
Aftet getting use to the position, you'll love the ride of the baron. Good luck. Doug I have one <tiemposbuenos2002@...> wrote: On 8/27/004 I placed a...
Hi Neal, Where did you order your frameset from? Also, do you know if the frameset you are receiving is going to use a 1-1/8" headset rather than the 1" size...
Hello Don. The order for the frameset was placed at Planetary Cycles in Houston Texas, The dealer Ordering the bike from Optima is Doug and Tom from Nu-Tech...
Neal, I`m a bit surprised that there is no mention on the NuTech website that framesets are available. I got all 3 of my Barons as framesets and prefer...
