from 4634 reviewsGreat quality and price. Used for a 1x11 conversion on my 90s GT and it looks and preforms great!
Installed this today on my old Ciöcc and I am super impressed. Perfect fit, installation, and quality. My bike has never felt so good. Reminds me of other bikes I have with threadless chris King headsets, only threaded, and Velo Orange. 10/10
I'll keep it brief - I've tried a dozens of "sweep"/alt/cruiser bars of this caliber in my 20+ years as a full-fledged bike dork. IMO this is the *perfect* one, better than bars which sell for 2x as much (you know which ones I'm talking about), and frankly better than the other, similar VO options. The width, sweep, rise, etc. are perfect; they absolutely nailed it with it this one.
My only request - and this isn't even an issue for me - is that they start selling a 25.4/26mm version, which would make this compatible with the standard quill stem you'd find on a lot of bikes for which this bar would be suited.
The handlebars and grips are high quality and reasonably priced. I've found this to be true for your other products as well.
I bought this to take backpacking, but this is one of the best pour over coffee makers I have used. Most pour overs need a lot of pre-heating, but the wire construction here means that it's mostly insulated by the air. No pre-heating required, and you get nice hot coffee. Cleanup is also easier cause it's just a bunch of wire. The only drawback is that it's a one cup brewer, but in all other aspects this is a superior pour over.
The product specifies using #2 come filters, but I recommend using v60 size 02. The cone filters sit a little below the top wire, but the v60 size 02 sit a little above, and allow you to use the whole brewer.
I love my new VO bottom bracket. I needed a longer axle to fit a vintage 165mm Sugino crankset on my 1997 Cannondale CAD3 R300. Worked perfect. Very smooth! Highly recommended!
650b Wavy Fenders, 58mm - Silver and Noir
I have a wide one of these on our tandem and a narrow one on my road bike. I like them both because they shorten my reach to the boss and the drops vs a classic bend. Much better for the back! Also have. Nice flat and wide bat tops for the palms, too.
I'm finally writing a review, as it took me a while to get my low kicker set up just the way I wanted...but I think it's nearly there.
I was nervous about building this up from the frame because of it being a "low trail" bike...but it handles great. I tend to front-load it, but also have a rack for the rear that I'll use if necessary, and it works great with a load on either front or back.
I set it up with Crazy Bars and a 2x Shimano Cues drivetrain for range.
Note that when they say you can use fender with up to 48mm smooth tires, they mean smooth! I have the Velo Orange Wavy Fenders on this bike. It took some time to get there. I tried the Rene Herse 48mm Juniper Ridge tires but they would not work with the fenders. The 42mm Pumpkin Ridge tires looked anemic (in my opinion) with the fenders. The 45mm Pirelli Gravel M tires are great on road and gravel and work with the fenders.
The top tube isn't quite low enough to be a true "step through," but enough for me, that I generally step over the top tube now. I wanted something I could wear, sometimes, with a skirt, and something where I could step over the top tube if I put something on top of a rear rack...and this is that.
I'm really glad, now that I built up this bike. After going through a bunch of other bikes, I think this one's a "keeper."
