Usually it's rear derailleurs but luckily this time it was my back SLX 4pot caliper- Yay!
I have recently swapped to 220mm rotors & wondering if there is any chance it could have been swapping to a bigger rotor & not what I really suspect the the problem is- my usual hamfistedness tightening it...
Until this year I've prob broken one derailleur in 30 years mtbing. I've broken 2 in the last couple of months.
Is it bad luck or are they getting crappier? The breaks look almost identical.
The selector switch for "firm/medium/full" on my jade X coil shock isn't working anymore after a ride yesterday. The shock is stuck on full squish. It's one year old to the day.
I contacted the local importer/builder & he thinks it is up for an annual service "The switch only does that when...
Looking at a e140 400 for the wife. Shes the above height & on the sizing chart is right in the medium. Any feedback from others around that size woud be appreciated. Unfortunately none around here to check out in real life so have to take a gamble on the preorder
Well that's the size spokes needed for my rail7 bontragers. I'm posting this in case anyone needs to go into a shop to buy one then get told to bring the wheel in - then get told 2 days later when the next spoke breaks to bring the wheel in ...again.
Also a good tip is if a spoke breaks tape the...
Hello does anyone know what size the screw is that stops the shifter from twisting on its mount? I have lost one previously but luckily had an old laptop that I could rob a screw from. Is it 2mm? Currently have a piece of dowel wedged in between the bar & shifter but could possibly do better...
As per title is there a shifter that I don't have to use my thumb for? It quite often gets sprained when I have an off & takes months to heal. Then when it heals it happens all over again.
I currently have to take my hand off the bar & push with my forefingers. Current setup is SLX 12 speed but...
Noticing a slight growl going up hills. No noise when pedalling with motor off or when riding on the flat but going uphill it starts. Sounds similar to when the derailleur isn't in the correct position & the chain is rubbing.
I'll talk to the shop but has anyone had this? Done a search but not...
Had a few offs lately & found that my SLX shifter is moving on its' perch when trying to shift. I tightened it up but no go. I took it off the perch & noticed on the bottom it has a steel roundish kinda fixing plate with 2 square edges that should sit into something in the base to stop it...
My christmas present to myself arrived the other day - a new Charger 2.1RC & set of skf seals.
I had borrowed a shockwiz a few weeks before to get bit of a baseline on the Yari & although it gave the motion control damper the thumbs up it recommended increasing the HSC. I felt I wanted more out...
For those of you that have added motors onto their existing bikes what are the basic things you would recommend?
I made the mistake of letting my wife ride my bike while on holiday & she's sold on them. Unfortunately for the amount of use it may get it wouldn't be worth spending big money on...
Hearing some clicking from the rear end as I ride. Sounds like the chain trying to shift or a stiff link but even though the chain is toast & needs replacing I think it's inside. It happens twice on a revolution. I spun it on the bike rack yesterday after a XC type ride with lots of uphill & it...
I've been following the most durable chain thread in the general forums but was wondering if someone could hold my hand & advise what would be a cheaper setup would work with my 2020 rail 7 hub etc
I am quite happy to go to a 10 speed & good old steel as long as it has a 51Tooth to get up the...
Noticed this damage to my rear rim while getting ready to install cushcores.
I have been riding on it with no noticeable effect.
I am now wondering if I can use it as justification to mullet my bike.
The only reason I really want to mullet it is to stop it ripping off the klingons during steep...
I'd heard about the Oneup carbon bars being good for trail chatter & fatigue so bought a set. Then found out they only come in 35mm so bought a new stem. Then tried to put them on in the carpark by the trail & found out they don't fit because a special lockring spacer adaptor thing is needed to...
I've just been watching a few of these & thought I'd share the link. They are really clear basic tips & help by having someone being instrusted that isn'ty already a gun. I can't help but cheer each time.
