Both derailleurs are Shimano. I just give it a couple of clicks instead of one and no problems. My brother in-law couldn't believe it when I turned up with...
Hi, I'm going to try to take off my 700 wheelset off my old road bike, along with its carbonfiber fork and see how well it works on my HiRacer. Has anyone else...
Hi Mark, I've thought about doing this for a while. Please let us know how it turns out. Trail should remain about the same with a straight road fork. Heel...
--SRAM numbered shifters, X-9(or any odd #) or 9.0(or any odd #), work only with SRAM RD's. SRAM named shifters, like Rocket or Attack, work with Shimano or...
Yes all that is true, and I didn't have any right in the world to say that. Deep down I know I'll get a Tadpole from Randy and Steve before its all said and...
Hi folks, I took my ABTT to a local bike shop to do the finishing touches on the trike to get it on the road- getting the brakes and derallieurs working and...
It sounds like they didn't do such a great job when they adjusted the derailleurs and chain length! Here are two thinks that you should investigate right...
It shouldn't be, but many of us with trikes have the power side of the chain above the arm, and the return side below. This makes for a straighter chainline...
Can I use any 160 mm break rotor on my Avid 5 disc breaks? I have a rotor that has a high spot, it has always been there from the start and the sound is...
Jeff, How would you suggest I get rid of the front derallieur "chain suck' problem? Would your adjustments you listed below fix this? It happens when I shift...
Of course you should go back and show them the problem. Joel ... tubes zip ... chain ... pulled. It ... should ... Adjust ... chain gets ... to back...
I think so. I replaced my disc rotors with genuine Avid rotors without any problems. There are some cheap-o rotor brands out there, and as long as you avoid...
If the chain is getting sucked in on the front derailleur, there are a few possible causes. The first is that there is excess friction in the return...
If you're in the Michigan area, I'm thinking about selling my JetStream-1 OSS (including upgrades) and looking at one if the AB High Racers. If interested,...
Thanks Jeff, It looks like the chain suck happens right in the chain ring. Also, the LBS set the boom with the front derailleur a little to the right (I...
Yes!! Definitely move the boom so that it's perfectly in line. Use a vertical level and place it against the chainrings to get it perfect. I must stress...
Dan, I have the chain suck phenomena from time to time and pay it little mind any more. Just know to backpedal quick enough to keep it from getting knotted....
Hello Everyone, Show #4 of the podcast is posted. It features an great interview with two guys who did a 5200 mile tour across the U.S. Check it at: ...
Thanks Jeff! What can i use for a "vertical lever"? Can I just use a straight edge and put it against the chainrings to see if they are straight up and down? ...
I said "level" not "lever!" ;) It's the type you'd use in carpentry, with a little glass vial that shows you if the level is, well, level. It's probably...
oops. sorry about the "lever". ;) I have one 'o those "levels" so I will try that. I will also move the chain tube. Thanks so much Jeff! Dan ... Use a ... ...
Thanks Tom. I have some other questions for you- I looked at your pictures and saw that you moddded your stock idler. What exactly did you do? Jam nut? What is...
Dan, on the stock idler setup, the idler wheel has a tendency to rub on the bracket that goes around it. The spacer is used to move the cage out a little ways...
Tom's mod, adding a spacer to the idler, is a good one. I suggest everyone try it. I'll include an extra nut in the batch of trikes I am receiving soon, for...
Hi folks, Sorry for the barrage of posts. I just got the Avid BB5 brakes adjusted at my LBS, but after a few bumps, the brake pads seem to be lightly rubbing...
