These definitely have a chamois, you can see the stitching in the picture....and I know they have a chamois. Maybe Toby meant to review another bib knicker.

I've never actually tried, but I think you could creatively attach a head lamp to the vents in the visor. Visors are replaceable and relatively cheap, so even if you had to modify it you could get a freshy for non night riding.

Uuhhh...I dunno if that's the direction I'd go. You could walk to an air compressor from the moon faster than pumping a tire up with this. It will thread on to Schrader valves, but you'd need an adapter for presta valves. Remember, after you fix a flat, take the extra time to put the correct pressure in the tire or you'll probably be fixing another flat. Slow down to speed up.....

Northwave sizes sorta vary from year to year, but for 09 they equate a 44 to a US Men's 11. Others have found sizing down a half size or so to be a good way to go with this brand's current fit. Maybe you should get a couple sizes and return the one that doesn't fit. KC

So, I call Sram's tech line and they say "no". Fast forward to today and while reading a catalog I see an Enduro Bottom Bracket Bearing Puller-Press for sale. It claims to remove almost every brand. Now I don't know what to think.

Most of the newer frames have the tabs so disk brakes can be installed, so depending on your bike you should be able to.Like Chris said, you'll need some disc mounts on your frame and fork. You also need hubs that are disc compatible and if you'll be using the rotors that are included with this set, you'll need hubs that accommodates center lock rotors. KC

It is 9-speed triple shifting. Shimano model #ST-M585.It'll work with a double too. Spacing is the same, you just end up with a click left over.

I would say no. The tell-tale "UST" is nowhere to be found on this page or drop-down-menu. Maybe the UST version is just out of stock.

Probably by boat or aircraft, otherwise it's a long ride.

You can go that route, or you could just use a similar rotor from another brand. That would be way cheaper than buying a new wheel or rebuilding with a new hub...unless you can build wheels, and even then. In terms of mounts, are you referring to the fork/caliper mount? In that case there are some different designs, Post Mount or International Standard, yours is probably IS type but you'd want to confirm that.

Not unless you intentionally ride on tacks. Tubeless tires are very durable, don't get pinch flats, and are often filled with that gel stuff that seals punctures for you.I agree with Angus. I've found that even when a tubeless tire gets punctured, it "leaks" rather than "pops" as a tube does. I'll take a leak over a pop any day! Add some Stan's or other tire sealant to the equation and you almost completely negate the need to remove the tire from the rim..except to replace it.

Yep! They are more than shift levers, but precision instruments made to last a lifetime. Typically you get what you pay for. If you want some of the best shifting available on a road bike, this is it. Those who would benefit from the use of these levers would never question why they cost this much. You get the brake levers too! KC

For sure. The advantage of the a stiff sole can be felt with or without clips or clipping in.

Hhmmm..Sounds too simple, maybe a trick question? But I'm going to say yes, this derailleur will work with a Shimano front derailleur clamp. I'm fairly sure the technology and design have remained the same for many years.KC

I don't have this exact model, but I love my Giro helmet. I use it for the road and for off-road and it works great for both.I'm not sure the red/white flames would work on the road, what would you wear with it? ok..ok...I guess every color of this helmet would transition between road and mountain flawlessly. The visor even detaches for getting the most out of the Animas helmet's aerodynamics. KC

The visor is very much removable. I wouldn't pop it in and out every day (you might break one of the tabs), but you can definitely take it off every now and then.My visors always break off anyway. Gotta keep my face out of the dirt.

If this is a 7800 crankset, I think it is for a 10 speed. Double check with a gear expert before buying.Shimano designed these around a 10 speed system, but I have seen people run them with 9 and 11 speed with little or no issues.

NO.

1. Same thing, just on different bike sites.2. 140mm or 160mm Avid will probably work unless you can find Shimano from previous years.3. Would be cool, but no.4. brake lines are cheap. Fittings/Volume can be specific. Buy the right lines.5. Yes, as long as you get the right size.

dese be da 08 model mon.

HHhhmmmmm......probably would work in terms of shifting....but wrapping them under the bar tape might not be that cool.

Nothing really, just a styling difference and usually ski gear has to be more flexible since skiers' legs move.Marketing.

Dear SusieSki, did you ever get an answer to your question? I have the same question. Did you buy the Dakine Bike Bag? If so, how did it work for you? Thanks.I love soft cases! I've traveled around the world multiple times with my bike and never had an issue! Here's my theory: Hard cases are too easy to stack. A hard case will end up at the bottom of the pile every time. A soft case is a bit obtuse and doesn't lend itself to neatly stacking luggage on top of it. Even a hard case won't protect your bike against an elephant sitting on it.Besides that, soft cases stuff into the trunk of tiny European cars....try doing that with a hard case. KC

Sidi Monsters... best shoe for wide feet.FYI- Most Sidis are offered in wide.

The cleats are recessed. The cleats are removable. You don't NEED to clip in while pedaling, but typically it's easier to.Now my opinion....From what it sounds like, you may want to try a shoe with a less aggressive tread pattern. There are shoes on the market with a higher degree of walking comfort. They will still offer a recessed cleat, but will probably have a bit softer rubber on the sole and maybe a touch more flex under foot. Forget all of this if you plan on riding off road most of the time. KC

The 09 Mavic SLR is offered in a center lock version. These rotors will work with the center lock SLRs.

Sort of. The SPD-SL style will bolt directly to the 3 holes on the bottom of these shoes. For SPD or SPD-R you'll need some inexpensive adapters that accommodate 2 bolt cleat designs.
