i miss bikemanforu, Mr. Pump, son-of-a, the whole crew. Learned a lot from them. I remember him showing us how to bend the spring on v-brakes if needed to increase spring tension on one side when the adjustment screw just isnt doing the job. great videos. that takara looks awesome. thanks for the video.
So, cold setting the rear triangle allows for the wider cassette… does it make any difference in accommodating the wheel size change from 27” to 29”/700c? Thanks!
I normally don't work on drop bars so this was difficult for me. Thanks for watching, and I'm sure I'll get better at wrapping drop bars as time goes on.

I was lucky on this one. The breaks had long enough reach so the pads could reach the rim. Otherwise I would have to looked at getting long reach breaks. Thanks for watching!!
Bang for the buck! I had actually searched this type of conversion before.
Thanks for watching!! The bike turned out great!!
I’ve got the same bike. They ride real nice when properly adjusted and maintained.
