Watts per wheel on my cyclocross I don't anybody would be able to tell you that without conducting a lab test. What is "wattage per wheel" anyway? What actual significance does it have? |

Does riding with suspension locked do any harm long term @Benzo I don't think brake booster will solve any problems here, they are mostly useful on rear chainstays. Suspension forks are usually very rigid in these areas |

How can I mitigate the risk of public urination charges on long rides? No civilisation => nobody to catch you => no problem to mark that tree. I usually find it more problematic to find a toilet in city than an unattended bush in the wild. |

Are there pedals that are both flat and cleated on each side? why do you have to clip in-out too much on your commute? |

Do skilled cyclists really “use the front brake alone probably 95% of the time”? highly disagree with "slightly in advance of the front brake" and the reasoning behind it. If you can feel the rear wheel skidding, you can surely feel that the bike is going upwards and going to tip you over. If you don't feel the bike position, no skidding is going to help you. |

7 speed to 8 or 9 speed cassette change 130mm spacing is on road bikes. Most MTBs have 135mm spacing (unless you are in downhill). So no worries about that. |

Can you put disc brakes on road forks originally intended for calipers? @DanielRHicks How can you mount a disk break to a fork with no mounts available? |

How does one test the freewheel? Failed == it does not work. Simples! Care to elaborate your question? Do you have a specific problem with your freewheel, or that is a pure theoretical question? |

(V-)Brake pad lifespan mud is an enemy of any kind of pads, especially v-break pads. Once I had to change perfectly new disk break pads after 40 miles on sandy path in very wet conditions. Tread break pads as consumables. |

How to prevent my disc brakes from locking/sticking due to debris? What he said ^^^! The major point of disk breaks is that they get less crap on them because they are further away from the surface. |

How to prevent my disc brakes from locking/sticking due to debris? evanscycles.com/products/trek/… says you have "Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes" which are cheap and nasty breaks. I'd strongly recommend replacing them if they cause you a headache. |

How to prevent my disc brakes from locking/sticking due to debris? That is very interesting question! What kind of brakes do you have? Never encountered that kind of problem with disk brakes. |
