Can anyone recommend the right Loctite to use? Is it 242? Crank arm fell off mid ride a few days ago, not fun. Luckily no parts lost but need to get this sorted beyond tightening up pre-ride.
After 2 pretty tame rides (no big drops or anything) my new Rise M-Team has a pronounced creak coming from the crank area, what I'd usually assume on a normal bike to be the bottom bracket creaking. Do you think this is an indication of the same issue?
Did not expect this given the price
For the grommets wait till winter, hoping the rubber will shrink just enough in the cold to go in nicely.
To fit new fork seals (another bike) which were far too tight and impossible to get it, I put them in the freezer first, worked a treat
The new Michelin E-Wild Rear tire also looks interesting (av. in 2.6 and 2.8), similar to the Wild Enduro with more aggressive centre knobs and cheap at £36 on some sites
Which compound did you go for? the Gum-X or Magic-X? Out on the Decoy this week and the back is getting knocked off line a lot on wet roots. Very sketch. Keen to go down to 2.6. DId you find the BB dropped any?
Finding my Decoy is great DH but not agile enough on tighter trails. I was between sizes and opted to go up. Has anyone flipped the chip to high? if so how does it effect stability for someone whose Decoy is sized a little up already? My thinking is its already so stable with the size that I can...
I’m just shy of 5’7” and went for a M based on the chart. Love riding it but it’s a handful when things get tight though a blast downhill. Really I should have got a S and I’d swap if I could
