Hi all, Is there somebody here who can tell me how to maintain the Sonic hub coming from a Hed CX rear wheel? I did not find any technical notice and I wish to...
It is true, but I wonder how to dismount the axle before. It seems the system look like that is used by Cane Creek, with loose bearing on drive side and...
Romuald, Sorry about the very long response time.....have you taken the hub apart yet? As far as I can see, you should be able to put a wrench on each side and...
Hi Everyone, If you had been planning on dropping the chain on your Baron and were interested in getting one of the custom idler assemblies that I make, it...
Don, Thank you for your answer. Do not worry with time, meanwhile I succeeded in with all dismounting without breaking anything. It is the same system than...
Has anyone ordered anything recently from Optima`s webshop? If so, where was it shipped and how long did it take to get it? I need to order a few things soon...
Gah! Don't get me started. It took me about ten weeks or so to get a new stem to Australia. Service from Optima is great, but the guys in the shipping...
I`ve been building up my other Baron and its pretty close to being finished, but I just ran into a problem I have not seen before. This particular Baron is a...
Hi ct, I have plenty of clearance between the disc and the dropout.....about 8mm. The problem is the outer edge of the disc touching the fork. A defective fork...
This may sound like a really dumb question, but are you sure it's a 160mm rotor? Dana Don Smith <airxxxwolf@...> wrote: Hi ct, I have plenty of clearance...
Already thought of that Dana....it`s definitely 160mm. John Foltz sent me a pic of his Baron which has the same Thracian wheels, and he probably has a good...
... I don't think that would matter. On my fork, the inside of the disc-side leg is flattened high enough for even a 180mm rotor to fit. Don's fork isn't...
Don, I have what I would call a spacer of some kind on the inside of the dropout, on the disc side only (welded to the dropout) that may provide the needed...
Hi Doug, After seing a photo of John Foltz`s fork and wheel(he is using the same wheels) it became obvious that I have a defective fork. A spacer between the...
A shim misses between hub and dropout. This shim is welded to the dropout and is 4mm thick. Without this shim the fork doesn't meet the International Standards...
Don, from which product year is the fork in question? Phill from Optima ... From: Don Smith To: BaronOwners@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005...
Phil, I`m not sure what model year the fork is from, but the frame is supposedly a 2002, but I used to own a 2002 Baron and the fork was not the same...this...
Dries, I purchased 2 new Baron framesets in December 2003 that were supposedly 2002 models, but I think the fork I`m having the problem with may be older. I`ve...
Is it possible to post a picture from aside? The oldest discbrakeforks have a very small clearance between rotor and forkleg. These are forks produced before...
Dries, I`ll get some photo`s of the fork posted tomorrow. Do the reversed dropouts on my fork give you any clues how old the fork might be? I`ve seen many...
I think these are the first discbrake specific forks Optima produced in 1999 for the Baron. The brake is mounted on a small, welded bracket, instaed the one...
Folks, Can anyone please tell me what the choices are for Baron rear wheel sizes? It seems there are lots of choices for nice wheels in 571, but not so many...
Has anyone tried the powertap hub and wheel for their training sessions. Sounds like a good aid in determining workout levels and fitness. Any help would be...
