I still have the RRP short on the front but the short version. I only have the SicomMTB on the rear and I’m comparing it to the RRP rear that I removed
I don’t like the look of mudguards and would prefer not to use any at all. Like I said, for me, less is more
I’ve just swapped an RRP for a SicoMTB on a 2019 Cube 160. They are similar at first glance but the SicoMTB is wider and much longer at the front where it matters. It has massively more clearance due to being model specific and that also means there are no legs down the seat stay which I think...
@MrPeaski is right in posts #2 &4
You need to remove the cable and brake hose so you can get the rear triangle off the bike and onto a bench.
A blind bearing puller might help to remove the old bearings but you can manage without...
I have a RockGuardZ on my 2019 Cube
I’m not the gnarliest of riders but I gave it a serious stirke on a rock and it just chipped the gel coat off the fibre is still intact
Each to there own but I don’t like the look of the steel ones
Another small thing that makes a big difference
Heartbeatz reads my Apple Watch and displays it on my Garmin 😀
I can’t use a chest strap because I don’t have any electrical signals from my heart😬 it's ok I have a pacemaker 😮💨
I’ve been after one for six months but they have been out of stock...
I had an interesting day yesterday. Took the train to Ribblehead for an easy ride round Cam Fell
Then everything went pear shaped. My buddy’s chain jumped off, then we tried a short cut and met Mr Grumpy and his angry son who made turn round. Then I got a call about a family emergency and had to...
Got up and off early yesterday to ride Askham Fell Loop and Howtown. I didn’t see a sole until I hit Ullswater and all the campers getting up to walk in to Polley Bridge for breakfast 😂
It was still boiling, even the locals had to find shade anywhere they could
I’m in the uk and I use OS maps for plotting routes and a Garmin 1030+ for on the bike as I don’t find the battery life good on my iPhone
I’ve got accounts with Komoot and I use it occasionally, Strava but I never use it and Trailforks as it is bundled with Garmin but I don’t get on with it
I don’t clean then specifically.
Maybe once a year, or if I change the pads, I’ll cycle the pistons to make sure they move freely. If they seem a bit sticky I’d use a drop of the appropriate brake fluid on the piston
Yes you need to knock it out from the top
AFAIK a LockBlok is part of the headset that restricts how far it can turn so the bars can’t stoke the frame. It should knock out like a regular headset cup
If I’m wrong someone who knows better will be along in a minute to point it out
I voted E
I use method as @Mikerb mainly because it is easier to lift the bike into the bars than try to hold it with one arm while I close the clamp
That said I’m 100kg all up and the post copes with that without any problem so the main risk would be scratching the Kashima coating
