Can your rims wear down from too much braking? The determining factor is what you ride through, not the type of bike. Ride through crud, crud accumulates on the pads and causes wear every time you squeeze the levers. |

What are the pros and cons of a Turbo Trainer over Training Rollers? Thanks, I edited and added that. I did not add about vibration; if anything that's a con of both, though it depends quite a bit on the specific brand, and where you put it. A simple foam mat can mitigate all but the worst offenders. |

Alternatives for front shifting for small hands I did think about electronic shifters, a little. Definitely pretty spendy new, but maybe I can find a used one that won't break the bank. |

What's the shelf life of tublar tires? I have heard this before, and it always cracks me up. I imagine walking up to the counter at the bike shop, saying, "I'd like 2 of your finest cave-aged tubulars, please!" BTW the inimitable Jobst Brandt agrees that there's no benefit: sheldonbrown.com/brandt/tubular-fables.html |

Can I use long reach calipers on my cyclocross bike? Does the frame (and fork) have mounting holes for caliper brakes? |

Is reversing the stem (pointing it backwards) a safe way to reduce reach length? stems can be angled upward or downward with a simple flip on the steerer. With a downward-sloping stem and/or a steep-angle head tube, I could see that being an issue but could easily be mitigated by flipping the stem upward (which would probably also help with reach). |
