All,
As you will all know there are some good deals at that momen as dealers shift 2023 models. I have been mullling over a lighter weight bike for a while. With that in mind I have my Rail down to below 21kg with choice parts, smaller battery and custom made battery cover etc. I tend to...
i've been running a 36T on my Rail for over a year, no issues at all

ah good point, in reality the added weight of the new cover went back on, so bit less than 400 in reality. Not actually weighed the new carbon cover. 'bugger all' isn't really a scientific measure :)
Yes, i just completed my printed cover, thankfully i have a large printer so can print in just two sections, i printed it in Carbon, but for good measure also applied a carbon wrap purely for aesthetics. Came out nice. Saved 400g (ish)
I am just designing a 3D printed bracket, going to print it in Carbon F so will likely be stronger than the bike itself, i will have two designs one for 500Wh and one for 625Wh battery. For me it's about saving the weight on the smaller battery/lock removal etc. I tend to come back from most...
Long ride today,.and it was faultess, my use of the gears has moved up the block by 1 or 2 gears which was the goal. Zero problems with the chain line or shifting. Great success ??. I was even able to use the same chain from the 34T as Trek make it overlong by default so there is plenty of...
I am going for a ride tomorrow so will report if anything is amiss, quick spin up the road and it seems peachy. In the end took the opportunity to ditch the chain catcher too as I am running xsync 2 ring which never drop ??
36 fitted, looks good so far, the chain is outward about 4mm like mentioned but that's no problem, it's just changed slightly the chain angle from one side of the cassette to the other, my other bikes running double chainrings run much more of an angle so it won't be an issue. Need to fit a new...
My parts have arrived, all looks good before trial fitting, i have a boost and none boost spider to try the offset, BTW the chainring is meant to go on the outside of the spider as you have it, not the inside. The stepped lugs on the outside are for location of the ring. Just waiting for the...
not looking to verify your calcs :) , but as i mentioned i am not in the smallest cog (10), I am 3 up, 9th gear, not sure of the tooth count but can be sure in that gear (not smallest cog) at 80rpm it is 15.5 and its worn and skips :)
my smallest cog 10 Teeth is fine, not skipping, I don't use...
great, thanks. I have ordered a SRAM ring and the Miranda spider. Out of interest could you not have just bolted the ring from the back, i.e. go through the spider from the back into the thread on the ring ?, save you drilling it out ?. Anyway I have ordered a could of sets of chainring bolts to...
after another ride and paying more attention to the gear i am in it is clear that around 80rpm cadence in 10th gear is 15.5mph hence its the gear i have worn out. The 34T ring has to go, so i have ordered the Miranda spider and now sourcing a chainring, thankfully @dixie600mhz did the hard work...
i am running AXS and just replaced the cassette at 600 miles, same issue, slipping in 10th gear (2 up from smallest), I am sure the wear started when I first got the bike and the 'b' screw setting was not near enough which def caused the issue coupled with the fact that this is a gear I use...
Interesting thread, I have just had to order a new cassette as it was skipping in one of the smallest sprocket gears, had a hell of a job even fishing a cassette, had to buy one from Germany !, The rail badly needs a 36T chain ring, I spend a disproportionate amount of time at the bottom of the...
