  hoffsta asked:

  Recommend a bike shop with wide-tire gravel/all-road/Rando style bikes to test ride? I’m trying to find a new all-road style bike for my girlfriend to commute and Rando on. I’m partial to the Jan Heine style 650b/42mm wheel size, integrated generator hub, front rack/bag type bikes. We don’t have any shops in my hometown that stock that stuff. Can someone point me to a shop on the Portland area where we could find some bikes like that in stock, that she could test ride? Thanks!

  [Universal Cycles](https://www.universalcycles.com/) carries a large selection of All-City, Salsa and Surly (amongst other brands). They've usually got a lot of sizes in stock and will gladly let you test ride anything ime

  Need help with forks I bent my steel fork slightly and decided I’d rather replace it than try to repair it. I’m looking for a 1 1/8 threadless fork that will clear 32mm tires with a 45 degree rake. I’ve been looking at some on eBay but they don’t specify tire clearance. Any suggestions would be helpful

  

  alechko replied:

  check out [universalcycles](https://www.universalcycles.com/) forks collection, there's a good variety there and they usually publish all the measurements of the fork plus clearances. also look for the axle-to-crown measurement, so that your replacement fork won't be too long or too short and change your geometry too much.

  Universal cycles are great to deal with. They always include an extra spoke. I get them to price match the wheelsmith db packs of 50 and they send 51. I always feel guilty for that.

  grandzooby asked:

  Wheel-builder recommendation for a heavy-duty touring wheel? My so-called heavy-duty wheel built with a Mavic 719 rim and DT Swiss spokes is possibly in need of replacement after only 1400 miles. Can anyone recommend a good wheel-builder who can verify that this is indeed the case, and if so build me a wheel that will last longer than Lada Gaga's latest look? I'm a heavier rider (245 pounds - used to be 290) and carry a fair amount of stuff (groceries, bowling ball, etc.) on my hybrid bike. I only ever ride on paved roads. I'd really like to get into long-distance, multi-day rides, but I need to trust that my gear won't fail far from home.

  gherrry asked:

  hello yall. i'm looking for a new suspension fork. can anyone recomend a place where i can touch and feel then most likely order online? speaking of which ... where do you order your parts from?

  

  You could head out to NEOS by NAHA they have Cannondale, Fisher, Specialized, Trek and more so they deal in some good stuff but to second that MTBR.COM is a great tool in our world for research. Also ordered everything from PricePoint.com and Universalcycles.com and had great prices and very fast shipping. If you need directions to NEOS let me know They have a bike I want to look at more with out my wife and son bothering. Robert
