    Spoke replacement

    The broken spoke had a section missing so not possible to measure it. It seems that most wheel manufacturers list their spoke sizes if you can identify the rim.

    Spoke replacement

    Thanks for that tip. I have just noticed that the washer on the old one is seized on the nipple.

    Spoke replacement

    If it helps anyone else DT Swiss wheels from 2020 onwards have an i/d QR code on the rim, inside and out to identify the components. The spokes on my rims are 3 different sizes and aren't in stock at my LBS, or any other I could find. Easy-ish to replace when you have them but a while off the...

    Spoke replacement

    It means taking them both out. I will take one out on the same side as the broken one but prefer to take as few as possible out. Thought someone may know as they seem to be millimeter accurate.

    Spoke replacement

    Has anyone replaced spokes om a DT Swiss rim ? Are the spokes at each side, going to hub side or disc side, different lengths ?

    2024 Whyte E160 RSX Review

    Mike I think you will find the T type chain and cassette will last a lot longer. The chain wear on mine so far is a lot better than the previous AXS.

    emtb longevity?

    As second hand bikes will drop in value (have!) you may see more sold as parts extending the life of others?

    Drop Motor on an E160RSX

    Hi Paul Thanks for the reply. I have just run a new rear brake hose and as you managed it with a barb and routed though with the old hose. I am finding it tricky to re-clip it into the down tube though but the battery does still slide in.

    Drop Motor on an E160RSX

    Has anyone dropped the motor on an e160 RSX to replace hoses / cables. Do you undo the Torx T40+ on both sides ?

    Whyte e-160 rsx rail system

    Thanks Mikerb I’ve not got many muscles but that looks like a job for my wife! I think I will then try and pull it through with the barb as I have never dropped the motor.

    Whyte e-160 rsx rail system

    Can anyone tell me if the brake hoses are clipped in on an e160 RSX? Will a new brake hose just feed through with a stealth barb ?

    GX AXS reset

    10 months later. My GX AXS T type has failed with the same problem. One of the two brass pins is slightly recessed and looses it's springiness which is necessary to make contact. The problem arises without warning and it just stops shifting mid-ride. A change of battery and no result, then on...

    Bosch Gen 4 Chainring Nut printed Torque of 25 to 30 NM is likely wrong

    Thanks Irie. I think I missed your post. Are the new ones made of a different material do you think?

    Bosch Gen 4 Chainring Nut printed Torque of 25 to 30 NM is likely wrong

    Just an update. The supplier of the Cargo locknut says it does fit…..same thread. I have ordered on as I need on anyway but it may solve the loosening issue in the OP. I must say I have had 3 Bosch gen 4 motors in separate bikes and never had a problem with the 25-30Nm recommendation.
