Russell and Julia are here to sprinkle some joy with their delightful mix of fun tips, exciting news, and a dash of pure nonsense!
Hit a snag yesterday with the new bike build. The company that built the frame advertised it will fit 35mm tires. Well, that was a bit optimistic, as once I've added brakes, I have to move the axle all the way to the ends of the dropouts. Not comfortable with that. The fork is a definate "no." After a chat with the frame builder, they admitted the fork they sold me is wrong and so getting a new one. As for the frame, I have some ideas.
Moving forward!
