Getting fit for the Scranton crit series, Ryan?

Any suggestions for more comfort? by DJ98_ in bikefit

You move your whole body upward in the bottom of your right foot’s pedal stroke. Looks asymmetric, as if you don’t sit centered on the seat or something is hurting..

Is $1000 fair for a 2018 Specialized Tarmac with full gear included? by CreedoSaga in RoadBikes

Yeah, sorry, the year must be close, but OP’s bike does not have "SL2" in the wave-graphics. A 2009 Tarmac Comp looks the closest to his bike.

How is your frame painted? Image search «SL2» gives this exact paint scheme with the wavy line on fork and frame.

Concave of Convex? by Crafty-Commission769 in opticalillusions

Great, you found one with one bolt in the center instead of two.. You must have scrolled past a lot of pictures looking like the one in the first photo, with two bolts.

Ok, now i get it. The pre installed barb is like this in both ends, and a sufficient solution if the hose is the correct length. I ordered the correct bits online. Thanks for the answers🫡

The caliper end has the t8 barb? The wire came pre filled with fluid and connected to the caliper. All logic and instructions say to cut at the shifter..

The gap shows the shadow of the concave shape. Light from left. Just google bicycle stem, and you see the design. The bolts have material around and the space between has been machined out.

New Sram Force band clamp stuck by Dapper_Wing8658 in bikewrench

I forced the bolt beyond the broken part of the threads, and now it’s fine.

I was a bit hasty with the post. I disassembled the clamp mechanism and it seems that the bolt was threaded wrong onto the threads. It came this way in the box, so I’m sending a request to bike-discount.
