andrew replied to Mike House's discussion FS: Ritchey WCS full carbon fork"Hey Mike, there are two versions of the WCS fork - which one do you have? Curved leg or straight? Some buyers probably care. "
andrew replied to Jeremy Morgan's discussion 50 tooth on Cannondale SuperX"Jeremy,
Just to make sure a simple alternative isn't an option - what's your rear cassette? If it's a 12+ you could jump to an 11, which would give you an equivalent front ring bigger than a 50 (50.6).
I'm pretty sure you…"
andrew replied to Michael Seaman's discussion Gaining chainring clearance with BB30."Michael, any bigger ring will hit the chainstays? I have a similar issue not with chainrings but with the chainring bolts. I'm curious too but haven't spent any time investigating it. Are you trying to run a single ring? If so could you…"
andrew replied to Brian Moore's discussion the annual "one set of tubulars" thread"Brian,
Good luck with that. You've gotten some good advice that I tend to agree with. I'll add to it by saying definitely consider your bike handling skills, distaste for crashing or slipping out. While a file tread may be faster on…"
andrew replied to Patrick Ferringer's discussion Races around South Lake Tahoe"Patrick,
The Bay Area will miss you, but glad you'll make the long drive back for some races. Maybe if we get some early snow, I can catch a ride back with you and hit some powder? What's the new job, can I ask?
Thankfully…"
andrew replied to Mathew Shimoko's discussion Campy/Shimano together? Campy shifters for CX? Prices hard to resist."I'm obviously biased in that I wrote some of that stuff, but I think Campy shifters hold up pretty well in cx, and pairing with a Shimano Low Normal (rapid rise) rear derailleur works nicely to:
1) make the ergonomics better for cx (downshift…"

I'm going to try and do some minimal coverage of other regional stuff as well.

i'll see if i have a short video of riders entering the sandpit/beach...one guy rides through a bunch of it while most hoisted the bike...you can hear his grinding gears!
the pic shown (if it works) is after the long beach part and up the steps and then another 50 feet or so of sand up to the asphalt...

- No sweat. I have a stock redline cro-mo (or whatever alloy) fork. I just set it up with a steer tube cable stop high straddle cable and way toed in pads. This worked fine when dry but wet weather is a different story my next thing I going to try per the issue 8 article is shorter road style pads. But I'm in no big rush I'm waiting for the shorty ultimate’s, then I'll really worry about set up. Hey! also the tubular wheel test/buyers guide in 8 was well put together , not just specs, but real world insight. I would have never known that $220 could get me a complete wheelset! Thanks again...

- Andrew, fork chatter article was well done and timely! I was on that forum thread with the person who was putting motor oil on their rims! One lingering question I had was about rider weight. I would assume that the heavier the rider the worse the chatter, what are your thoughts? Thanks and I can’t say enough how awesome the site, forum and especially the print mag is.
