    The Amflow and a Rusty Chain (A Penguin Classic © for Cantankerous Old Men).

    Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one! You're talking about spray paint... Right?... Right?

    No you don't spray it on your hands, you have to drink it... 😉

    The Amflow and a Rusty Chain (A Penguin Classic © for Cantankerous Old Men).

    These are the correct answers. All chains will rust if put away wet, and having not had any rust for 20 years doesn't mean you're immune from putting one away wet on occasion. Maybe just use that as a learning experience, rather than trying to blame Amflow and getting shirty with everyone who...

    How Do You Keep Your Bike Safe?

    I never leave mine out of sight or out of reach in public and at home they are in the garage, surrounded by CCTV that notifies my phone in real time if there's any movement, and the bikes have 3 massive chains around them, locked down to two separate ground anchors. The ground anchors are...

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Would you mind asking them when they're planning to release more custom parts for the Gustavs? Mainly the updated levers to allow better adjustment, but also more piston ring cover things in different colours. They've said both are coming, but not given any time frame.

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    I bled mine and I think I've got them pretty rub free now, having spent some time lining them up by eye. That said, you get them rub free one minute and they seem to be rubbing again the next, or so I'm finding with the brakes on my other bike! The bleed process on the Gustavs was easy enough...

    Bosch Kiox 400c Retro-Fit

    I'd think a thin rubber gasket like the one used with the regular top tube buttons would suffice. Muck gets in the downtube anyway and the motor is mostly exposed, so also gets wet and filthy.

    Bosch Kiox 400c Retro-Fit

    Would you need to weather seal it though? I assume it uses the same connections (or similar) to my Purion display, and that's mounted to the bars, fully open to the elements. Even the top tube controller isn't really weather sealed. I think maybe it has a thin rubber gasket, but nothing...

    Bosch Kiox 400c Retro-Fit

    I guess you'd have to screw the mount down first into the existing hole, then screw the display into the mount afterwards. If that's what you mean. The system controller on my bike slots in at the bottom, then is secured by a single screw at the top. I think it also has a similar spring to the...

    Bosch Kiox 400c Retro-Fit

    My thought is that the "hump" made to house the display could have enough room in it at the top to accommodate the cable without it being seen. Since you'd also need to house/cover that silver metal clip inside the hump anyway. No doubt it would probably end up being a bit unwieldy, but it...

    Bosch Kiox 400c Retro-Fit

    This. 100% this. Having all the cables routed neatly through the frame and just having the display sit a little proud on the top tube would be ideal. IMO much better than having it mounted on the bars where there would then be extra cables flapping about and the display is more at risk of...

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Good, but being Oak they will probably cost a fortune. Might be worth just waiting for the Magura ones.

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Are the TRPs mineral fluid then? I had in my head that they were DOT. Maybe I'm getting them mixed up with Hayes though.

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Wouldn't doing that with the pads out move the pistons too close to the disc to get the pads back in? Or do you torque the caliper down and then push the pistons back in?

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    I presume you mean you push the pistons back, re-insert the pads, then use a feeler gauge to space the pads fractionally away from the roots whilst you tighten down? I have some of those things metal pad spacing tools, but I'm not sure if it fits in the caliper. I'll have a look. You're right...

    Magura Gustav Pro Alignment

    Hmm, if you do try pads, let us know how it goes. I rode in a very dusty FOD last weekend and had all kinds of grinding noises from my Trinities and some squeaking while on the brakes, but I suspect basically any brake would have been the same. No noises whilst off the brakes though. I still...

    Magura Gustav Pro Alignment

    Good to hear. That never seems to work for me. When you say you did a lever bleed, how do you do that? Just attach a syringe of fluid to the lever and pull/flick the lever a bunch of times to get bubbles out?

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Good to hear. Out of interest, how did you align them in the end? By eye? I find that the old "squeeze the lever hard and then do the bolts up" never seems to work for me.

    Anyone tried Magura Gustav Pro?

    Thanks, I've emailed Magura a few timesal about different things and found them not very helpful. Hopefully their tech support is better.
