I am running a full Sram NX set on my bike cassette chain rear mech and 12 speed shifter and everything runs smoothly, The chain is new and only been fitted just over a week and I have had no problems yet. I have just been reading the posts on here and some riders are saying Sram NX is the worst...

Thank you Gregg I apprciate your valuble advice.

I did set up the rear mech using the gauge on the cassette and everything is running smoothly with no jumping I would ask you Greg is Silca Super Secret a good wax to apply to my cassette should I need to.

Good morning and just an update on the performance of my bike upgrade of my chainring and chain, I have been out over the weekend and must say how smooth the gears are and how having the two extra teeth on the chainring do help. I am graitful to Greg for the advice which I took and everything is...

Thank you Greg I will be adding the new chain and leaving it at 126 links the one on my bike is 124 links and is working fine without any missing or jumping, I was pleased with the power I got this morning trying it out on the road and found I am saving my higher gears from being used.

Just changed my chainring from a 36T to a 38T and I am able to use more lower gears and save my highest two when on gravel paths and off road woods, I have not fitted the new chain I just bought and will test the bike out properly soon. Everything seems fine and I am getting all my gears without...

Thank you and I will get back to you about how it rides and the fun I am having, your advice is appreciated.

I have been using the new parts I fitted since July 2024 and have 754 miles on my motor app so I think a new chain is a best bet and will not take any links out due to adding a 38T chainring.

Thank you Greg for your valuable information it is very much appreciated I did contact the shop I bought the bike from and they confirmed That a 38T would go on the motor and the chain cover would rise enough to keep the chian in place, They did say it would be my decision to do this. I remember...

I will have to see how much clearance I will have from the frame to the chainring due to it being full suspension, with the 36T chainring I have fitted I have 30mm clearance.

I am wanting to upgrade my front chainring from 36T to a 38T I have a 2024 Bosch performance Gen 4 motor and would like to know will it damage my engine, I did upgrade to the chainring I have now two years ago and it is running fine I just want to know if a 38T will be to much.

I have a small amount of play on my dropper post I am wanting to know is it easy to service them myself or should I get a bike mechanic to take a look, I have had the bike two year and it is feeling a little loose when I move the saddle.

I am coming up to 68 this year and enjoy going out on my bike but like you I was put off today because of the heat, I will be out tomorrow and the days after and hope it stays cool.

I fitted a brand new Ergon saddle and I am pleased how comfortable it is to sit on, I took advice from this website and it was valuble information which I appreciate from other members.
