I'm not smart on the bike and not that good looking at baseline so this is happening to ensure I will at least retain my teeth:

Thanks to all who chimed in on this in the Expert thread. Lots of good suggestions, the Smith fit was excellent and the 40% off codes floating around Gear Swap made it a no brainer.
Luke use the force !
Is that the kenevo comp?Quote:

Finally got the kiddo's new bike kitted up.

-Custom Dominion A2 brakes
-Protaper carbon bars and custom Protaper stem
-Protaper Meathammer grips
12 years old riding dentist wheels, what a time to be alive. 30.5 lbs with pedals which is only 1 lb more than his Clash weighed. Who else has a set of brakes with their name factory-monogrammed on them? No one, that's who.

Once I convince people to start calling me Dominion A4 I'll be half as cool as DMT Jr. with my own name on my brakes!Quote:

You could change your name to "Deore."Quote:

Our sugar daddy sent wheels instead of suspension, I'm not complaining. I actually have a Mara Pro they gave him for his Clash that is going to get moved to this bike. It needs to have the stroke changed which requires a rebuild and Mara service kits are out of stock. When I get that shock on there I might try to get a Mezzer at cost.Quote:

I have a cheap luggage scale like this: https://www.amazon.com/Luxebell-110l...00O9R7DIW?th=1Quote:

One of my clients moved from a 38cm to 40cm bar and I have to re-cable whole thing (including internal brake hoses) because the cables were trimmed so tight for the 38s.
So they sent me this YouTube:
I thought mine was pretty consistent but the "expert" seems to disagree.Quote:

And really came to appreciate the contact point adjust on Code RSCs... when the rear feels like it's biting a bit further in, 1 click adjust and it's better.
I ordered a new set of Pirelli Gravel M tires for my, wait for it, gravel bike. I bought the 45mm width because I wanted some extra cush. I did look at the Specialized website to see what tires will fit the Diverge before placing my order and was confident I was making the right choice. WRONG! They don't fit! Dammit!
Lol, the real question is, "What does Dee think?"Quote:
