More heat! It can't be stuck if it liquid 😆

I believe he wants to replace the worn bolt which is trapped underneath the cap. The cap must be independent of the bolt. As the bolt is undone it's head pushes against the cap which forces the crack arm off the spindle shaft. I don't know for sure but guessing this is how it works. It...

Thinking about this, are we sure the cap actually unscrews, or is it a press fit into the crank? Hope crank arms are self extracting, so it would defeat the purpose if the cap unscrews 🤷‍♂️

If you have a small enough pin spanner you can drill two blind holes in the cap that correspond to the pin spanner and try undoing it with that before getting the Dremel out. A make shift pin spanner is easy to make if you don't have one small enough.

Ah Cubes infamous quality control. Some bikes get thread lock, some don't. Some bolts are torqued to spec, others are done up by Popeye, and if you're really lucky some bolts aren't done up at all 😆 As another heads up, I finally got round to trying the Vitus trunnion bolt, it doesn't fit...

Agree, I maybe confusing things with the super taper steerer talk. I know some bikes have super taper head tubes, and looking at op's picture the head tube on the bike on the left looks larger than the one on the right? It can catch people out who but a 1.5 fork and wonder why it doesn't fit...

Sorry, I got the numbers mixed up, I'm talking about a 1.8 super taper fork. I can't find a fox specific picture but this one from suntour shows the difference. Is this what your are talking about? Is the fox fork on your patron the original fork? I had a quick look and I'm not sure if Fox...

I assume it's the same sizing as Rockshox, the larger being 1.5" and the smaller (standard) being 1, 1/8" You can fit a 1, 1/8 fork in a 1.5" frame with an adapter, but there are no 1.5 to 1, 1/8" adapters to fit a 1.5" into a 1, 1/8" frame. I do remember someone on this site custom machining...

Last dry day before the storm

So If I'm understanding this correctly, as long as you hit the assistance speed limit (which is easy to do with the speedi) and use leg power beyond it regularly, you reduce the chance of the system picking up a manipulation?

Good job, glad you got it sorted (y)

Darn, that's bad luck :( This could prove difficult to remove. The torx bit will be hardened, making drilling into it very difficult. If you can remove the caliper and get in into a bench vice, it will make the process a little easier. A few ways to go about it. Lucky way The torx bit will...

Interesting info, the detections seems so random, many people on Facebook groups reporting thousands of miles with zero issue, while others have issues within a few hundred miles. I'm wondering if something else is to blame, faulty speed sensors 🤷‍♂️

I've bought a second shock and need another set of bottom mounting hardware. I've got the white plastic bushings that push into the shock already, I just need the centre spacer tube, o-rings and outside washers. Can anyone confirm what length spacer tube I need? @Doug85 was the m8 x 22.2...

Cheers rusty, looks good. I'll give it a go 👍

Bigger mud guard isn't a bad shout, it's just a pain in the arse cleaning the bike after a ride.

Where do you go in the evenings @RustyMTB I was up Angmering park the other evening after the rain and it's already in a pretty bad state, give it a few more days of rain and a lot of it will be impassable.

The difference two days and a bit of rain makes 😞

Nice, good luck with the fitment. The Torque on looks a sweet bike, have you done the Shimano update on the motor, how do you find it? You mention dropping the travel of the Dorado down to 180, is this the limit of the Torque or do you think you could bump it up to 190/200, would it mess the...

No way! Which seller did you use? Keep us posted on what you think, you went for the carbon version over the ali? I've been lusting after a long travel emtb for a while, and If I ever got one I'd deffo put a set of Dorado's on, I love my Mezzers too. Though I'd maybe go for the expert...
