I would also guess that it is the same location that all the spokes have broken. Replace the spoke, tighten it up till the wheel is true again without looking at spoke tensions. That spoke is in the same location and at the same tension as it's predecessors, and so the problem continues. It's...
The thing is that you won't know if you are insured when something happens - how often do insurance companies wiggle out of what seems like an obvious straightforward claim? One insurance scheme that is guaranteed, regardless of the circumstances, is to start an account and deposit $40 a month...
I normally wouldn't. My two mtb bikes that I was riding up to a year ago are both 2012. I think I will with the e bike though. I bought a merida e140 thinking it was more of a trail bike than the e160. I find now though that I'm starting to get more into black tracks, drops and jumps. I still...
Great idea lumpy. I've been researching how magnets lose their strength - apparently heat is a biggy. I was wondering this because shimano mount their magnets in a plastic housing on the rotor. I will see if I have enough clearance from the caliper to mount mine on some plastic (as an...
I found a more versatile and cheaper alternative to the original shimano tool. With the shimano TL-FC39 you also need another shimano tool to drive it :ROFLMAO: the TL FC36 :rolleyes:. Park tools have the LRT-2. Here in Australia it is nearly half the price. It has the added bonus of being...
I don't think bars are "dumbing down". I often have to think what they mean; I translate in my head. 3 bars could be as little as 41%; 5 bars (supposedly full) may be only 81%. Showing a percentage doesn't require any translation.
not impressed. That's my nature though - simple, less complex hopefully means less to go wrong. I could imagine sram doing a great deal with trek as a form of advertising / getting them out there.
I have a mullet and less travel on the rear, so want a bigger rear tyre. I've inherited a near new dhrII 2.8 exo - it has a cut in it. I'm going to patch it and try it out - I run a tannus in the rear for soft exo casing tyres, so should be good. I've got some steep, loose, technical climbs - I...
I hope no one was banned either. We know what happens when communities go for squeaky clean upstanding members of society - pedophiles and crooks :rolleyes:
Also, there is a model raidon that will work (as you suggested) if you get the right configuration - tapered (cts) and 9mm (9-100 dropout) Details - SR SUNTOUR Cycling
