Seb Stott did an article about how crank arm length doesn't make a great difference to power. I think I notice a slight drop in leverage at low rpm, but the reduction in crank/pedal strikes makes up for that.
160 felt weird for about 10 minutes, then I got used to it. I'm not upset I wound up...
I have a carbon Rise and it is flexy. Even the front triangle gets a fair amount of flex. It has much more flex than the Rallon. I'd say it is part of the design to make it light and comfortable. Even the Rallon has a lot more rear flex than my old giant trance with carbon rims. I know the...
Rod, do you have to replace the o'ring in the lower pivot each time? Mine was completely chewed up and had part of it poking through the splits in the axle. I plan on buying a handful of new ones. 16mm ID by 2mm is unfortunately not a very standard size.
Bedding in is transferring brake pad material onto the rotor. If you stop during bedding it can leave a build up of material in the one spot, rather than having an even layer on the rotor.
I also had that issue on one side. Can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I had the wheel out. But you're not on your own and it makes me question the tolerances a bit.
You could go Dissector front and rear. They're fast rolling but have good grip in corners. Definitely go inserts and drop your pressures. 22 front and 26 rear would be pretty good for someone your weight. Less pressure often helps on climbs because you're not bouncing off things. Give the...
Replacement is for the carbon cranks. Alloy cranks, I think you've seen enough posts around here to say there are still issues. My experience included.
Sorry to hear/see that. It makes me feel better about going for Shimano cranks, but I'll have to inspect mine to make sure no issues have started. It looks from your profile that you have a Rise. How old is it?
My large M10 stock with tubes and pedals was 19kg. That was the dissector and rekon combo. Slightly heavier than I was expecting, bit I don't really mind.
I've gone with 8150 cranks just to avoid any further issues. My non-driveside e13 crank came off despite being installed from factory as per the updated recommendations. Fortunately low speed also so no injury.
Personally I feel like it is best to avoid the e13s.
The cranks on my bike have 14nm printed on the crank and supposedly there is a longer thread on the preload cap (according to the local importer). I'm not sure if they also changed the amount of spline that interfaces with the motor shaft?
