As said in comments, when you spin the rear wheel, that wobble is caused by the wheel being out of balance. I appreciate that the wobble may seem scary on the stand, but when you're sitting on the bik …

Chains can slap against the chainstay. With the condition of roads in the modern United States, it’s almost guaranteed - I can only speak to this country and to Singapore, which doesn’t have freeze-th …

If I got a dent that size on my aluminum bike, I would keep riding it and use watchful waiting - keep checking that dent, look for cracks propagating, monitor changes in how the bike feels, especially …

For reference, this answer offers general guidance on what to do if you're not sure if a carbon frame is cracked. That answer contains some photographs of abrasion damage from the infamously muddy 202 …

Mostly no, I think, but there is actually one way to answer the question. First, what is the definition of gravel where you ride. In Minnesota (US) but not the far northern parts, there are a lot of d …

There's no substantive disadvantage in many situations. Each wheel can accommodate a range of tire sizes to achieve good aerodynamic drag figures. If you run tires too big, this will disrupt the profi …

SRAM AXS cranksets are designed for chains that have larger than standard rollers. This means that a Shimano or Campy chain's rollers are too small for an AXS crank. When you said DUB crank, DUB refer …

Reading the question, it sounds like you are confident that the beads are seated. For everyone else's reference, when properly seated, tubeless tires are designed so that a line will show just above t …

It’s difficult to make definitive statements without seeing the OP in person. Also, bike fit is complex. However, here’s my attempt. First, in general, you don’t want to push the saddle back to change …

This is a late response. On most performance bikes, the handlebars are lower than the saddle. A saddle to handlebar drop of 1" or less is pretty rare, even for endurance road bikes, for the average cy …

One last thing that others have not mentioned: in the past, I didn't spread the vulcanizing fluid over a wide enough area, so I had some patch jobs fail. You want the whole patch to be covered in the …

I'm not a carbon fiber expert. Nevertheless, here's my take. I am assuming that the photo shows the inside of the seat post, although I'm not sure exactly what the item is. Carbon fiber derives its st …

If your shifters have the shift cables exposed and running across the front of the bike, as in the model you linked, then you have Ultegra 6600 shifters. If the shift cables are completely concealed u …

The question has already been answered, but this is why I think titanium never really made it into the Tour. Ti frames are either a bit lighter or similar weight to steel bikes. They were also tricky …

Unfortunately, I believe this needs to be repaired. Remember that carbon fiber is composed of layers of carbon that are all cured in an epoxy matrix. If you look closely, you can see concentric rings …
