Personally, I'm a Whiteline fanatic but if they don't have what I need then Kartboy is my go-to. :tup: Check out Tokico when it comes time for struts. I have their D-spec adjustable gas shocks on my '04 STi and I love them.
Nice!
BTW, how did you determine the endlinks were bad?
I would assume looking at them and seeing a bent/warped shape would be pretty obvious, but otherwise... ...?
Also, they probably come with new bushings, but if not definitely get some Urethane bushings.
Once again, my favorites are kartboy and whiteline.
Just be honest with yourself and accept that you're finding reasons to buy more parts!
Keep us updated! :tup:
Interested on the oil guage. Did you run an oil line into the cabin, or are you just talking about the signal wire?
Yikes on the damage incident.
Will you also install an oil temperature gauge to compliment the oil pressure gauge? Why or why not?
Pictures and specs on the Escape! Maybe even a review if you're up for it. :tup:

I'm guessing it's just the signal line running into the cabin from a sandwich style adapter that the oil filter screws into. That's how mine is at least.
Why is the stem so long on the Trek?
I forgot the VA's came stock with the oil temperature gauge!
Is the front end noise related to suspension or the engine?
Is it called a "gravel bike" because it's meant to be ridden on actual gravel? What type of tires and why are they brown/red? That may be a stupid question since I have blue tires. :lol: Is it just a random color?

@Grinder34 what gearing does yours have?
Mine has a 50/34 with 11-34 in the back. The 34-34 makes me feel like I can climb anything.
From specialized's website (not at home now)
CASSETTE Shimano 105, 11-speed, 11-32t
CHAINRINGS 48/32T
So again a 1:1 gear ratio. The part of my ride that I really want a lower ratio is a >10% grade. My numbers are coming from Strava, which has it at like 9.9% min and part of it at 15%...not sure I believe that. It's relatively smooth in my mind, just steep. And that ~10% comes shortly after another much shorter 7% (again, Strava numbers) hill. It's really a pain in the saddle while carrying an extra 50 lbs of baby and carrier. Out of the saddle its not as terrible, but if she's on the seat behind me it jostles her a lot doing that.
