    Is this normal? Cassette dropped off?

    Took out the wheel to swap out tyre and the cassette dropped off. if I don't push it against the wheel it fall off freely. Its been a while since I mucked around with wheels and in particular modern ones. It's 12 weeks old and Deore. Is this normal?

    Trance X E + 1 flip chip. Nightmare.

    I think a bike stand is key by the sounds of things. I honestly felt the bike handles so much better up and down and even on flat. I’m amazed actually! It’s fascinating just how much a few cm here and there - and psi / rebound clicks makes the bike ride. Now I’ve spent time dialing it in its...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Maxxis Dissector tyre as I pinch flatted/ cut on a rock. Damn expensive fix on a 12 week old bike :D I'll put more air into the tyres from now on 🤦🏽 Also a one up dropper to replace the oddly short Giant dropper that came stock on the new bike. I'm a freak I think as I'm running a 170mm...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    How did you patch the tyre? Superglue? I have a similar rip in my Maxxis Dissector. Ordered a replacement, but would like to try and at least fix it before throwing it in the bin. It still has some life in it. I'm talking about running tubules. Cheers!

    I loved the Rubber queens! Now they are trail kings? Yet I hear a lot of issues with their robustness now.

    Trance X E + 1 flip chip. Nightmare.

    Is it supposed to be an easy 2 minute job? Absolute nightmare! No idea how it could possibly be a on the trail swap as Giant promote. Honestly it was like winning the lottery with aligning stuff up. Any advice if I want to swap back to the other position? The anxiety of not threading the bolts...

    Another Kiwi Rider

    Nice find! Reigns are rare! Looks like a complete wheel length 😅 I pondered for along time on a suitable rack and considered this setup for my van. It was this that put me off. Hopefully you don't wipe out with that much sticking out! Can't you just move it along so it supports it near the rear...

    De-mullet a mullet?

    The Trance feels like a steam roller 😂 Its so heavy that you can't even lift the front wheel. If you find it nimble that bike must be like a truck!

    Ultrasonic chain cleaning.

    I would take off the chain and soak it in iso prop over night on a sealed jam jar. Give it a good shake then scrub with a tooth brush. Dry in the oven on low then fit and lube. Then never ride the bike again. Fixed.

    Fox 36 Float Performance leaking oil. Six weeks old.

    Noticed from new that my Fox 36 Float Performance was leaking oil on the right leg at the back. It's where there are Allen key 'plugs' that can be removed to add the Fox mud guard. The leak was a minor shine on the bolt but now it's leaking down the leg. Anyone know if this is due to a fault or...

    Ultrasonic chain cleaning.

    Why not just get a chain cleaning setup you run it though when on bike with degreaser? Simple.
