    Do shifters wear out?

    Is it feasible its my 11 speed shifter causing problems? Had recent cassette, chain and derailleur change yet shifting isn't perfect. Randomly won't change up one cog (or down) but give it another click and it skips 2 cogs to the correct gear. Only happens in the middle range of the cassette...

    What pump do you take out with you?

    Had a double puncture on my tubeless rear today. Farting about trying to get the Stans sealant to do it job with much pumping and ended up having to plug one hole but nearly gave myself a heart attack trying to pump the bloody thing back up. Any recommends for a good pump to carry on the bike?

    Spoke guard / dork disc

    Never knew the name of that plastic disc and had to look it up! Just replaced my cassette and on the guard one clip was already missing and another cracked as I was removing it to have a good clean. So google shows me that the cool guys bin them anyway so should I source a new one? A quick...

    Shimano 11 speed ?

    Hi guys, I've decided to change my Focus Jam2 transmission after having a few little problems and want to start from new. I've identified the cassette as a Shimano SLX csm7000. The rear derailleur is an Deore XT800 11 speed but I'm not sure if its a GS or SGS (i'm leaning toward SGS) The chain...

    Battery charger repairs?

    Hi Guys. My Focus Shimano E8000 charger has packed up. When you plug it in there are a couple of steady green flashes as normal then a feint green flash and nothing. On the feint green flash the TEC battery flashes once so there is some output for a split second. I'm sure its the charger as I...

    Folding Tyre Storage

    Just bought a couple of Maxxis folded MTB tyres. They were a bit of a panic purchase following a puncture incident where I thought the rear was shot but it's sealed and held so I don't need to rush fitting the new one and the front isn't too worn so I don't need to change that in a hurry either...

    Cant find a Shimano 11 speed chain

    I need a new chain for my Focus. The correct one is a Shimano CN-HG601 11 speed. As far as I can tell they come in 116 or 126 links. I need a length of 120 so need the longer one. All I can find is 116. Any pointers would be appreciated or indeed alternative chain suggestions that would work...

    Glasses lens colours?

    Bit of a newbie question I suppose as I just bought my first pair of glasses. They have interchangeable lenses with different colours. The dark polarized ones are obviously for good bright sunny days but what about the others? I thinks there's clear, yellow, blue and brown. What should I be...

    Replacing the chain Jam2

    Need to replace the chain. Looked up the specs and its a Shimano CN-HG601 11 speed. Got one and its 116 links. As the fast links are not reusable I thought id count the links on the old one before removing and there are 120. I think its the original chain and its definitely Shimano. Has it got...

    2019 Jam2 Shimano steps setup will suddenly not power on. Rode the bike Sunday, hosed it down as usual and put the charger on. Today the charger was displaying the green "charged" light but the system will no longer turn on. Tried the TEC pack battery with the same result. I removed the power...

    Anyone replaced their Jam2 handlebars?

    Got a Shimano powered Jam2 and want to replace the flat bars for some risers. However as Steve pointed out to me there is a groove under the bars under the grips where the cable for the display is routed inside the bars. Has anyone successfully changed their bars getting over this problem?
