Talking about shimano without mentioning the leaking pistons that eventually happens to all of them, every single model is only part of the picture. It's a key component to why those things have to be pumped up. They will always eventually get air in them though that mechanism. Sometimes it's within a week of being new, sometimes two years. But they all do it.

It's a bit of an indication of people's expectations of Shimano brakes when "mostly consistent braking" is listed under The Good.

I am personally going to box up all the old 26 inch tires I have laying around the house and send it to their corporate office in Akron Ohio, with a note saying: You killed these, you can bury them

oh man. That sweet, sweet 28.99mm bb. I really, want to give sram the benefit of the doubt, but dang, sometimes i wonder if they are just trolling us all. When i moved all my cranks over to a 30mm spindle, i found that i was going through bbs like crazy, almost one every other month (raceface). I eventually got on a wheels mfg. press fit bb, and its been okay. I still think back to the days where i could go years without any problems from a shimano bb. I get it, as an industrial designer myself, getting stuck...

To help make sure your bars are properly lined up with the fork, put a straight edge or ruler of some kind across the fork stancions. You now have a larger reference point on which to adjust your stem and get your bars straight.

Well, if you look into it you'll find that there isn't any science behind the Catalyst pedal. In fact, you'll find that the studies that James Wilson refers to just backs up flat pedals in general, and that there is nothing there that indicates that a longer platform should be beneficial. Hint: if that was the case, why isn't the pedal offered in different sizes to fit different people? That said, I suppose its ok to like the Catalyst pedal, just don't tell me that the design is based on some kind of science :-)

If you're running the front brake lever on the left side, and are having trouble with the cable routing, you might try to feed the brake hose across the arch before letting it pass over the right side of the crown. IMHO this results in a cleaner routing on forks with a reverse-arch design. Please note that the brake hose may have to be a couple of inches longer than what you would need for a "traditional" routing (ie. in front of the stanchions/headtube). To avoid cable rub you can use a couple of zip-ties to attach the hose to...
