For some odd reason I cannot get the front Vredestein 20" bead to seat properly resulting in a slightly out of round mounting. I have had this problem in the...
... Hi Mark, The Optima carbon seat has a glossy finish that Velcro sticks to very well. The VK seat has sort of a satin finish on the bracket side, and on the...
A few suggestions: 1. The tire (tyre) might be faulty or damaged, meaning that it will never ever play ball for you. 2. Once you have one side of the tire...
Don, My baron has the vk carbon boom, and uses a triple *almost* perfectly. Ian fitted the bottom bracket out with a 2mm spacer on the chainring side, and it...

Sjef, "No-brainer" means is doesn't require much thought. In this case, the VK boom works the same way as the Optima boom, so it should be a pretty simple...
