    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Ahhhhh, just realized I ordered a SRAM 12 speed NX rear mech rather than a 12 speed GX (that was originally on there). So, will the NX be compatible with my current chain? And as the NX is lower in the SRAM range than the GX will it cause me an issue? Should I return it (not fitted it yet) and...

    Cube e-bikes - what size? Does it worth to wait for the 2023's bikes?

    From my experience Cube frames are small so you need to sit on one to figure out size. I am exactly in the middle of their Medium size according to their online size guide but I would probably be more comfortable on a size Large. Ebike tech is growing very quickly so there can be some big...

    Bosch motor badge only "taped" on . . .

    I used some black liquid gasket to stick mine on. It hasn't moved since.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Good info, when the new mech, hanger and cable arrives I'll definitely clean and grease the shifter too 👍🏻

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Bit of an odd selling point considering its application.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Watched the Park video, easy enough to use then. I found a clone of the Park tool version on eBay for £29 so for that price it's not worth me spending time making one. It's all stainless steel and looks fairly good from the photos so we'll see when arrives if it's tight enough and doesn't have...

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    I'm a machinist by trade so odd threads and accuracy isn't a problem 👍🏻

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Just googled the hanger alignment tool, I can make one of those if I figure out how it's supposed to work. Also that won't help with a bent derailleur though will it? Because I suspect mines a little bent somewhere, and not the lower cage.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    I didn't know such a thing existed, I'll try and get one then to maybe sort out my old mech and hanger so they don't just go in the bin.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    So yeah I've just ordered a new mech, hanger and gear cable so that should sort it out.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    You guys were right about something being bent. The mech hanger was a little twisted so I fitted a new one which made the shifting better but still not quite right, it looks like the mech itself is bent somewhere but I can't work out where, I took the lower cage off and straightened it but it's...

    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    Disagree with the current UK limit, mainly because I seem to naturally plod along on the flat at 16mph so I'm constantly getting the motor kicking in and out. But also it can be a real pain when wanting to do a quick sprint on the flat or down hill. Non ebikes are much quicker on the flat I've...

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Cheers lads, all the info I need so I'll sort it out.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Oh jeez well I better be finding what tool I need for setting that then along with checking the hanger, cheers lads.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    No I haven't checked the B screw (I will do though) but this is all the standard kit that came on the bike and it's all been fine up until recently, I should have mentioned that I wasn't replacing or upgrading anything currently. It just started skipping gears recently so I thought I'd take a...

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    To be fair I didn't think of that tbh, I guess 12 speed would be more sensitive to anything out of line. I have access to a flat granite surface table so I'll be able to see if it's bent once I get it off.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    That's a possibility I guess, it looks straight ish by eye, I'll take the hanger off tomorrow afternoon and see how flat it is, good shout.

    SRAM 12-Speed - Cannot set it up properly?!

    Never had an issue with setting up any gears on any bike but having trouble with my SRAM 1x12 (SRAM SX Eagle Shifter & NX Eagle mech) The H and L screws seem to be set perfectly. There is only one barrel adjuster which is on the shifter but for the life of me I cannot find a setting on the...

    The opinion of analog bikers is whack

    Coincidentally the mate who always calls me a cheater spends a lot of time running also.

    The opinion of analog bikers is whack

    Back in the '90's and early 2000's pretty much all MTB riders were chill and all respected eachother (although we did think XC riders were a bit weird) and the only beef we ever had was with Binliners (inline skaters) and Wood Pushers (Skateboarders) and that was usually just about which group...
