Resources for Shimano TT/Tri components?

I have a customer asking for a quote on a Shiv build with Ultegra, and it’s made me realize I’ve never had to actually put together a Shimano tri build before.

I’ve perused S-Tec and they seem to have zero trainings related to Tri-specific components. In the B2B, I see the TT DA levers, but no complete sets.

What’s the best way to get a crash course?

How do I get HRT as a miner?

I live in West Virginia and my dad forced me to work for him in the coal mine in order to “sweat the sissy” out of me. It hasn’t worked. My Medicaid does not cover hormones and I don’t have a way of getting to Maryland. How the hell am I supposed to get hormones as a miner?

We’ve given up on being actual journalists, but pretty please buy a 32er.

/uj: Read the room, you fucking limeys.

/rj: Please stop being mean to 32” bikes. They deserve love just like we told you to love 27.5” 15 years ago.

I think I finally have my bench set yet the way I want it, but I feel like I could organize it better. Thoughts?

This is the first bench that I’ve been able to completely organize and personalize. I’ve been frequently making adjustments, but I think everything is where I want it to be. There’s always room for improvement, though. Help me try to improve it just a bit more?

I got a dumb idea to upgrade my Lynskey headset. Is my idea tethered to reality?

For those unfamiliar with Lynskey’s headtube design, they use pressed and bonded aluminum headset cups that take standard IS42/52 bearings. I have a Lynskey 29er that I’d love to replace the headset with something colorful. My working theory is that the cups can be removed and replaced with standard ZS or EC cups.

Does anyone have experience with these frames and can verify the inner headtube diameter or Lynskey headtubes? Is it conceivable that these inserts are a standard size and replaceable? I’d rather not pull out the cup tool to find out myself.

Sell the hardtail and get squish?

After months of trying to sell my hardtail without luck and a maniacal search for a XC full suspension bike I could afford, I had decided to keep and reinvest in my hardtail.

I ordered a new dropper and chainring for it and took it out on the trail for the first time yesterday. Then yesterday, I checked my DMs and found someone is serious about wanting to buy my hardtail and is willing to make a multi-hour trip this week.

So now, I’m torn. I just put out $350 of parts to upgrade my hardtail, but I’m still interested in an XC bike, and selling my hardtail would give me the money I need to get something serious.

The dilemma has my head spinning. The timing is crazy coincidental, but I’m really torn. What to do?

Where’s does one find a frame on a budget?

I don’t have thousands of dollars to spend. I can probably go up to 2k if I stock up on Ramen, but I’ve been looking for a squishy XC frame to build up and have come up with nothing. I’ve been searching Google, eBay, TPC, Craigslist, online retailers, and everything gets snatched b for I’m ready to act or everything is above my budget.

So how do you guys find your deals? I’m not on FB and have no desire to ever get an account, but I’m sure a few of y’all are gonna say Marketplace. Please tell me I’m not going to have to re-sign up for the Zuck machine.
