We have been doing a disc option on the Psychlo X &amp; Psychlo X RSL for some time. Spacing in the rear is taken to 135mm with through guides for the brake housing. Hydraulic is not far off and you would be ready with this type of routing. You would want to build it around a disc tapered for (3T or Enve)....</p> <p>This would make a great machine for those uses listed above.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=13628#post-18224 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 21:34:13 +0000 Jerome 18224@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Are they option to consider for a new CX bike (RSL) build to be ridden hard in the Alps ?</p> <p>I want it light, efficient, forgiving with strong road capabilities (like the current PX RSL) </p> <p>use: 80% sport 20% races endurance and CX </p> <p>thank you for your advice (Jon welcome ;-) ) </p> <p>best </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12019#post-16966 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 02:54:01 +0000 sbsbiker 16966@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Dom, did you notice on the tandem you linked that the "spots" are really dinosaurs, and the right brake lever controls both a Chainstay mounted u-brake, and cantilevers on the seatstays. Really cool details I missed on first notice. Still no bids the eBay auction. If I didn't have one already I would buy this one in a second. Looks awesome and the seller says hardly any miles. $2000 is a steal for this. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12019#post-16475 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:32:36 +0000 sbsbiker 16475@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I've got a red one in my garage of the same vintage.

I asked Moots a few years back if they'd ever build a tandem (again) and they said no. Bummer...I guess the closest we'd be able to get now is an Eriksen tandem, which is a damn sweet tandem. Saw one in action last year at the Dakota Five-O and the team RAILED the singletrack sections. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12019#post-16473 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:10:41 +0000 Domestique 16473@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I never knew...</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-MOOTS-CUSTOM-TOURING-TANDEM-RARE-1-KIND-ONLY-20-EARLY-MOOTS-MADE-/320989697806?pt=Road_Bikes&amp;hash=item4abc7a170e&amp;ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-MOOTS-CUSTOM-TOURING-TANDEM-RARE-1-KIND-ONLY-20-EARLY-MOOTS-MADE-/320989697806?pt=Road_Bikes&amp;hash=item4abc7a170e&amp;ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101</a> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7872#post-11455 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 01:45:29 +0000 Exie 11455@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Nothing wrong with a bit of variety in your cycling. </p> <p>What will you do if you ride a MotoX and decide you crave the high performance of the Vamoots more ?</p> <p>The PX is a nice bike for sure, but I'm not sure its really all that "relaxed", depending on what jmacjgm has in mind.</p> <p>Maybe time to n+1 and have the Vamoots and MotoX side by side ? :) </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7872#post-11450 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 17:36:16 +0000 Domestique 11450@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>now that was an expensive lesson to learn... sounds like a Psychlo-X is what you're looking for.</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7872#post-11427 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:09:44 +0000 jmacjgm 11427@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>After only 200 miles on a 62 cm Vamoots RSL, I have discovered I crave the rougher roads and probably a bit more relaxed geometry.

If I didn't already have a set of Record hubs still in their boxes lying around I'd give them a try, and the new Chris King R45 hubs look tempting too.

I've found that Kenda Small Block 8's wear like iron and are solid unless things get really nasty. I think it's the best balance of limited rolling resistence and bite tire-wise. I figure if the Reflex version is good enough for Jon C. at Nats, the clinchers are good enough for my commute. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4146#post-7129 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:32:38 +0000 Domestique 7129@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Want to get a set of clincher wheels built for my PX which I'm now using for commuting. I've been using my tubulars but need something more practical in case (when...) I get a flat.</p> <p>For the tire, I'm looking for something with a tread that's good on asphalt and light trail riding, basically a 'go anywhere' (almost) tread without being an outright cross tread, would also be nice if it has a robust casing to resist cuts.</p> <p>For the rims, I'd like to use a spare set of Campy record hubs (36 hole) I have in my parts box to build the wheels so rims also gotta have 36 holes. Wheels have to be robust to take some abuse, I'm thinking 36/3X/14 front &amp; back. I've been eyeballing DT Swiss TK540 rims but they are on the heavy side.<br /> Thx,</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=3136#post-5856 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:30:37 +0000 teamfubar 5856@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>You're speaking of the ones on the down tube (where old school road shifters would go)? They work the same way and those are the ones I was referring to. I've got 'em on the down tube of a few of my bikes. Dial them out (counter clockwise) for more tension on the cable. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=3136#post-5855 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:26:35 +0000 roadiesean 5855@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Teamfubar thats great, its not that I have a problem with adjusting the mech from the cable adjuster on the mech, I know exactly how that works, its rather that bizarrely my Moots is the first bike I have ever had with inline adjusters and when I had problems shifting on the ride the other day realised that it would be VERY handy if I knew which way to turn the bloody thing !! </p> <p>Thanks so much. </p> <p>S </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=3136#post-5854 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:18:23 +0000 teamfubar 5854@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Not an idiot. I'll assume we're talking adjustment for the rear derailleur. If you're having an issue downshifting (going to a bigger cog in the back), turn the barrel adjuster out, or counter-clockwise. This increases the tension on the cable if it has stretched or loosened a bit since it's initial adjustment. Go small increments, 1/2 turn or so at a time and check the shifting in between. Should be good to go.</p> <p>EDIT: This all assumes that your derailleur was adjusted properly to begin with and is just shifting poorly now due to some cable stretch/seating. If that is not the case, then barrel adjusters are NOT the way to fix the shifting. They are just to fine tune it. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=3136#post-5853 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:08:14 +0000 roadiesean 5853@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Simple really, which way do you turn them ? Do the work the same as the ones on the end of the mech ? ie to help the chain up turn the adjuster anticlockwise and vice versa or are the reversed ? My brain just can't work it out ;-) </p> <p>Like I said.....idiot ! </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1753#post-4300 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:25:08 +0000 woody 4300@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Yeah Flagstaff should be a great place.

I guess the best way to describe the ride is that it's perfectly balanced with the quickness of a great race bike. Things felt extremely smooth and I was really enjoying my first stint on the 2X10. We'll see how things wear but the application on-trail is quite eye opening with such range with the cassette. Bottom line is that I'm extremely pleased. Thanks to the Moots crew. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=483#post-2315 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:56:31 +0000 TiBike 2315@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>BMuller,</p> <p>Rob is building me the same bike.
