Deep vs shallow rims Though product specific, there is relevant content: bikeradar.com/news/article/… |

135mm rear end, 130mm rear wheel, Titanium frame Not yet, but it's back on my mind. The shop told me the wheel in particular needs to be re-dished for 135 spacing as well. |

Can I run a wheel with a 130mm hub on a mountain bike with 135mm spacing? Similar: bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/8221/… |

Couch to Century Depending on progress and availability, I'd suggest looking into local group rides. Beginner oriented rides are generally 25 KM/H, and have a "no drop" policy -- there's the chance of coaching and/or riding partners. |

Which type of frame is better for a touring bike, steel or aluminium? Have to be nuts to use carbon for a touring frame - an accident or outright failure is a very big concern. Aluminum, steel or Titanium can fail but can still be ridden (depending). Titanium is less likely as a touring frame, but a possibility - a cross frame is more common and would serve perfectly well. On that note, disc brakes would be the only option - assuming you want to stop while packing gear... ;) |

Disc brake freezing at end of ride What model of Avids? My BB7s have two dials, on either side, to control either pad. Spin the wheel & play with one dial to see if there's an issue -- if not, try the other side. |

Is it better to have a slightly big or slightly small bike? Smaller, because you can increase the length of the stem to get the reach you need. |

Relative efficiency of different commute bike setups How much do the bikes weight? Top end gear inches? 2x10 can mean a lot of things, like 53/39 or 50/34 with a 11, 12, etc rear. |

Is it possible to perform tricks with 100% safety during commuting? Please don't. Besides safety, you're likely to irritate people who already dislike cyclists. The "trick" should really be cycling courteously, obeying traffic laws & signalling. |
