At my service station (my garage!) £0 .................I already have spare tyres, brake pads etc in the locker. Never been to a LBS!

There are too many variables with carbon ...so much dependant on the composite lay up, the design and opportunity for variable manufacturing quality. Add to that regardless of layup carbon is brittle so not the best material where point loaded impact is likely. Repair is possible but requires...

yes..........check out the Yorkshire Bike Mechanic you tube channel............he did a complete bearing change in one of his videos just recently.

............and amazingly that cup of coffee is still hot over here:)

any markings on the bars other than a centre line are just for rider reference.........there is now way any bar manufacturer knows what stem their bars will be fixed to.

I always wear ski socks ie long enough to cover the calf and stay up but not as long as football socks. I wear them pushed down so act as a sort of buffer around my ankles......................then if we are going into traisl with likely brambles I pull them up. They are thick enough to provide...

check out the link below. The reference for rise, upsweep and backsweep is when the rise in height between the stem and the grips area is at its maximum............ie the rise is perpendicular to the floor. https://www.bikelockwiki.com/how-to-measure-bike-handlebars/

Led Remote

well its never happened to me...........there is no way for my 5:10s to slip on a pedal.....the only way to move it is to lift it off the pedal.

.............pushing the bike rather than riding?? If so I totally agree that some pinned pedals are lethal when you are walking/pushing the bike or even just walking past it! I found the worst pedals for that were those with pins that have exposed threads..like DMR v12s for example. Pinned...

Once a bearing becomes rough, just cleaning and adding new grease is not likely to achieve a great deal, they really need to be changed, because they are probably worn. So that involves using a bearing press set.

Both with the Purion and the LED Remote ( and probably the mini remote) it is far easier to make a positive mode change if the Purion/LED Remote is at the right angle on the bars. Most I see have then virtually horizontal on the bars, but rotated closer to vertical on the bars enables a far more...

shin strikes are due to poor technique not because of using flats..........ironically that poor technique can be encouraged by using SPDs!

I suspect it is the type of sensor rather than the magnet...............I think someone further up the thread tried using a different magnet and it made no difference.

SPDs with collision detection plus built in air bags required.:LOL:. My bike sometimes goes where I prefer not to follow so like to be able to bail!! On a more serious note...............one issue that needs to be taken into account is that MTB provides much less time or advance notice than road...

bit like a modern 8 speed auto gearbox except it uses graduated pedal assist rather than by changing the gearing.

Since the speed calculation maths built into the firmware must be unchanged ( otherwise the new firmware would impact on other bikes besides Treks), it seems the only thing that can be different with Trek is the type of Hall Effect sensor used (e.g. uni polar or bipolar). It suggests that the...

I gave up analogue mtb when I was 68 and bought a Levo..........so yes for me it had something to do with my strength/fitness although mtb was really only a no wind activity...otherwise I would be windsurfing. I mostly ride downhill forest trails and the first thing I really noted when I changed...

are you guys using rim brakes as well?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

if you want the design shape as far as upsweep, backsweep and rise etc to be as intended then set the maximum rise of the bars perpendicular to the ground. If you roll them forward or back from that position you change all of those..........which may suit you..or not! Be aware however of the...
