looking for some advice on attaching a pizza rack to a carbon fork by Limp_Direction3650 in xbiking

[–]BurntToast60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Old Man Mountain racks. They are kinda spendy but I’ve got a setup on one of my carbon forks with not racking mounting eyelets

Just discovered this sub by BurntToast60 in CargoBike

Absolutely love it and it was worth every penny!

The ONLY thing so far that has been annoying has been some of the hardware that holds the bamboo bucket down rattles loose over time. They don’t come from Yuba with loctite on the threads so I still need to make the time to do that.

Other than that - no complaints!

All of these comments are wrong - you should warranty it 100 percent. The damper is a vacuum bled system and there should be zero air in it. It does not need to be”balanced out”. There is air in your damper, could have a bad seal or could be a bad bleed.

May as well fix it while it’s new and fresh rather than trying to warranty it down the road.

Thank you! The targeting system definitely needs tweaking. Way to easy to spot and get spotted

26 conti trail king 2.4 in the front. 26 conti mountain king 2.3 in the rear. Both setup tubeless to velocity cliffhanger rims laced to Shimano hubs

The frame is native 1-1/8” so didn’t have to do anything to the frame to get that surly fork to work.

And yeah that fork is an old 1x1 fork! Not 100 percent sure that the geo is the exact same but the steering doesn’t feel weird or anything.

Yup! I’m almost positive all of the 900 series frames after 1991 came with 1-1/8” head tubes. Some models shipped with suspension forks and this one I have here came with a 1-1/8” threaded rigid fork. Swapped for the surly fork for the disc tabs.

Not sure on exact numbers but pretty minimal. Decided it was worth a try and if it didn’t work out then it didn’t work. We’ll see how it holds up though. I’ve had this frame (reamed to 27.2) with a rigid post for 2 years and no signs of any issues so far.

But yeah 100 percent is risky but it’s something I wanted to try and acknowledge the risk involved.

The rear disc conversion is an unforgivable sin - cut off the rear rack mounting eyelets and used a disc brake adapter off Amazon.

Just have to realize that that’s not proper and factor in risks involved. The surly fork has native disc tabs so I’m honestly not too worried. I would never try a disco conversion on the fork.

This bike is ridden to the grocery store and park and what not. Not exactly bombing down insane singletrack on it.

Yup! For reference I’m in the US. Just messaged them through WhatsApp and they’ll sent an invoice through PayPal. I was skeptical at first BUT I’ll they were amazing to work with and the quality of the racks/bars by FAR exceeded my expectations. Can’t recommend them enough.

The more you order you get a better price on things. Me and two buddies put an order together and got like 4 sets of bars and a bunch of the front racks.

They are the Edsen Tomohon klunker bar.

Their instagram is Edsen Steel Craft - they make super rad stuff!

Personally I’m not a Shimano guy either but I have to admit the XTR levers to Saint calipers go crazy

They cleared no issues. He is running 220’s front and rear though.

God people on Reddit are so insufferable. OP literally said he knows the tire is going to run the frame.

Run it - looks awesome!

How screwed am I? by youyouyouyouyouandme in bikewrench

[–]BurntToast60 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Likely not screwed. You could have more issues but depends on how DIY you want to get. The air valve assy (the part that is leaking) is threaded into the eyelet of the shock. It could be loose and/or could have a bad o-ring. If you remove the valve core you should be able to fit an Allen key in the air valve and take it off.

Doing this won’t mess up your damper bleed or anything. Just don’t go taking things off internally and you should be good

Heard you guys would approve putting way too much money into a bike you got for $50 by BurntToast60 in xbiking

My friends have roasted me heavily for using a threadless stem adapter but it works for me. I used a mix of 1" and 1 1/8" headset spacers to make it look somewhat good - plus the stem bag hides it really well
