What's the Deal With SRAM's DUB System? More Questions
Yep.
24mm GXP BB's on all my bikes running just fine. Industry nailed-it pretty well here between reliability, weight, and ease of service. Never once felt a need for 30mm BB! My bearings stay sealed, little to no flex, why change a good thing? Like other short-lived designs I saw the 30mm BB combo as a potential failure issue. I have owned every conceivable standard since the square taper, and I have seen 'em come and go....some in a few races. (Mtb. racer turned trail/enduro rider since 1991) 28.99mm is the next big hit of marketing cool-aid for you to gulp down. Hope you like lots of sugar.
What's more important? A few grams, or reliability? What value puts a smile on your face the most? Want to save weight? Drop a pound off your butt. Want reliability? Stick with 24mm combo!
Maybe next we can debate the ridiculous axle standards!

DVO Diamond
$400 USD2016 DVO Diamond, 160mm, 27.5" wheel. 15x100mm axle
What else can be said? It's a DVO!
Very good condition with low miles!!! About 40 ride-hours total.
Stanchions are perfect, everything tight as new.
Fresh oil change (Spectro Gold, the best) 8 ride-hours ago. Tapered steerer is 8-1/8" long.
Only cosmetic blems are: Small abrasion (poor job loading in shuttle van) and some chips where I worried off the bearing race.
Green touchup (close in color) applied to these areas. See pics.
I'm a 53 year old trail rider and I can promise you no drops, no crashes, no abuse whatsoever.
Thanks for looking, and Merry Christmas!
Includes DVO 15mm axle and fender (not in pics)

Stan's Flow 26" Rims
$25 USDCleaning out the parts shelf...
Stan's Flow 26" rims, 32H.
Well used, but in good working condition. Some scratches, but no flat spots, dents, etc. that I can see. Pair them together, and they look tight/straight. Might be great for a replacement rim on an older wheelset you don't want to spend a mint on.
I'd rather see them used instead of going to the scrap bin.
I am willing to negotiate with shipping cost depending on how far out there you live.
Happy riding,
MB.

American Classic tubular wheelset
$125 USDUp for sale:
I have a nice American Classic/Velocity tubular wheelset for sale.
Front rim is new, rear still has brake surface machining looking nearly new. 28 hole Velocity Escape tubular rims, American Classic 9-10 speed rear hub, micro front hub. Bought this some time ago for a climbing wheelset. Tires glued on, but still nearly new as well. They have collected dust for the better part of a decade, and I have no need for a super-light set of wheels on rough N.Y. roads.
Rims, hubs, bearings as good as it gets in quality and condition.
Great for a town cruiser, single-speed build, or retro frameset. (Ran great on my old custom steel Serotta)
Price is a sacrifice as the new front rim cost 90.00 alone.
BTW that's dust in the pics, not corrosion.
