>>1820561I do like the 'smooth' posts, and have even copied that Jan Heine washer w/ the angled cut. Just diy with a round file, but it works well.
>>1820563Oh yeah, I'm familiar.
Those look like spacers from BR-CX70. Maybe a year ago, I had one diassemble
itself. There's a pressed aluminum pin on the backside, acts as 'the other stop' for the spring. Finally wiggled its bent self out of the hole after seven years faithful service.
But the idea is good, and I've done similar (that's why those spacers exist). But it's a pain in the ass to deflate/reinflate your tire whenever you take the wheel out.
>not a fan of inline adjustersOne benefit of those Shimano in-line units is they provide a secondary quick release mechanism. With my olde touring bike, this was enough that I could pop the tire out without having to fuck around.
What's your gripe with in-line adjusters?
>>1820568Some people bitch about the adjustable spring rate ones, but I'm into it. Really enjoy when I can tune things just-so.
But as far as I know, Shorty Ultimates are black-only, so I replaced those Shimano cantis with two pairs of Dia-Compe DC-988. They're... fine, but in my heart I'm not truly satisfied.
