BLEED NOTES:

1) This brakeset comes unbled. It's the responsibility of the buyer to set up and bleed their brakes. We recommend that a qualified technician handle the task. If not, there are plenty of online resources such as videos,  and bleed kits available for the buyer to complete the task. In each case, we will not be held responsible for improper bleed and installation.

2) The levers come with plugs and mineral oil in them. There is a brake line olive installed into the lever below the yellow plug.

3) The hydraulic lines are connected at the caliper. There is a connector insert installed into the line. If the buyer wishes to shorten the lines, either the connecter insert will have to be removed and re-installed into the freshly cut end, or a new connector insert will need to be obtained.

Part # for the Olive and Connecter Insert are:  Y8JA98020. We do not have any available for sale. They would need to be purchased elsewhere.

COMPATIBILITY:

The calipers are post mount. Essentially, these are all compatible with any frame/fork with either I.S. or Post Mount attachment points. Please refer to the last image for a flowchart showing which brackets would be required (if any). If using post mount attachment points on both the frame and fork with 160mm rotors, nothing else is required. Different rotor sizes and I.S. mount attachment points require additional items. We do not have them.

General Assembly Notes:

While working on bicycles is not difficult, an improperly assembled / tuned bicycle can lead to damage to the bicycle or injury to you. We recommend that you have a qualified mechanic install components and service your bicycle.

Brakes - It is not uncommon that new hydraulic brakes would required bleeding. While not difficult for a qualified mechanic it is very easy to introduce air into the lines. We strongly recommend you have a qualified mechanic bleed your brakes if necessary.

Wheels - It is not uncommon that a new wheel may require some minor truing and if equipped bearing cone adjustment.

Suspension - Shocks are not easily serviced outside a shop setting. Any adjustment beyond rebound and sag should be done by a shop. Quick note on lockout function, it will not become rigid, it will however be very stiff.

NOTE: STRIPPED THREADS IN CRANKS AND PEDALS ARE DUE TO THOSE COMPONENTS NOT BEING PROPERLY TIGHTENED.  STRIPPED THREADS DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY / MAINTENANCE ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

• Where do you get your stuff? - Trade secret.
• Why do you use your own UPC and not the MFG's UPC? - Using our own UPC's gives us greater influence on the description. Because many of our parts are OE they either do not have a MFG UPC or may differ slightly on what is included. Using a MFG UPC can cause our description to be overridden by a catalog description that may not match what we are selling. Additionally many manufactures use UPC's that start with a 4. Those are not necessarily unique numbers and are not always valid as unique product identifiers outside a store setting.
• You say over and over to have a qualified mechanic work on my bike. What if I want to do my own work? - Not a problem, most repairs are easy and do not require special tools. There are several great instructional resources out there. Just be aware as a novice it will take you longer and components damaged due to improper installation are not covered by warranty.
• Can I pick up my item to save shipping? - Yes, but we are in the sticks. Our closest Starbucks is 30 minutes away. We do ask that you contact us first so we can pull your order. With drive time and gas not many people realize a savings.

 

Our History

Before disc brakes, before V-brakes, before suspension forks, around the time the first index shifters that actually worked and the first production mountain bikes hit your LBS, Ben Gibbs started Bennett’s Cycle in St. Louis Park, MN. In the late ‘90’s he sold that shop and started experimenting with online sales. Ben started selling on eBay in ’99, back in the day when your default user ID was your email address. If you wanted to get fancy you could change that to your website URL. That ID (can’t put the name here because it included a URL) was one of the first to exceed 100,000 positive feedbacks. In 2006 Ben sold that company and moved to his cabin near Cross Lake.

In 2006, I, Tom Maschhoff, made the jump from employee to partner and started Crosslake Sales with Ben. Our history and passion for bicycles and cycling gear goes way back and provides inspiration for our future.

Our Business Philosophy

Move as many parts as possible without it being a pain. Just keeping it real. Pulling that off is a bit easier said than done. In order to do that we strive to deliver value to our customers by sourcing quality products at prices that make you ask is that for real? We commit to being honest and fair in our transactions with customers and suppliers. If a dispute arises, if we are at fault, admit it early. We are committed to providing a work environment that recognizes the unique value of each of our employees. And recognize that work, while it consumes much or our time, is only a part of who we are and by being welcoming and accommodating when life spills in. The only slightly unreasonable thing we ask of them is to stay out of our parking spots.
