I did my SB130 and gave up about halfway through it, it looks like shit but it will do what it’s intended to do. I’ve had 3 kits installed since then and I’ve paid for it every time, the money is well worth my sanity!I've posted this before... Take the time they say it will take, and double it. Then consider doubling that, and also beer drinking time. Make sure you start early, outdoors with a lot of light. My shop lighting is bright, and yet not quite sufficient to really see problems before they get worse. What a pain in the ass.
I had a crash that did quite a bit of damage to the plastic, but not my carbon frame, so there's that part. I wrapped that part in black tape, looks be damned, carbon is expensive.
I had my Rail professionally done, may have cost quite a bit but my free time and sanity cost a lot moreI did my SB130 and gave up about halfway through it, it looks like shit but it will do what it’s intended to do.

Red nipples? do you mean spoke nipples#GoFasterRed need's red nipples!
These bike work stands are awesome for the price, I have one but the only negative is the size of the jaws are just a little too bulky for the gap in between the shock and the frame on a Whyte so to overcome that I bought a false crossbarGot really F'd off with my bike stand over the weekend, then one of my bikes fell onto it and broke the tool tray.
The one I have must be 10+ years old and has done a sterling job, its just the feet are always in the way. thought i'd try a two legged jobby.

Go faster spoke nipples (check my page in the signature)Red nipples? do you mean spoke nipples
I used to too but I have a AXS Reverb which is apparently a precision piece of engineering and I don’t want to put all the weight of my bike on it especially when I need to hang my bike at an awkward angle and stress the post, the other reason is that my Mum bought me this dropper post and she’s no longer with us so I want to keep it going as long as I canInteresting, i only clamp by the seat post.
They look great but I don’t really want to go down that route of messing with the structural integrity of my new wheels, I haven’t got a clue of wheel relacing, plus I don’t own a spoke tensioning tool or the bit for the nipples, will it not invalidate the guarantee as well doing this job…………… I meant to add, I am going to get a truing stand and a spoke tensioning gauge in time, maybe then I’ll get the red nipples and change them but I think I’ll live with the supplied ones for a whileGo faster spoke nipples (check my page in the signature)

I continue to be surprised how many different bike-stands all look to have been made in the same factory.Got really F'd off with my bike stand over the weekend, then one of my bikes fell onto it and broke the tool tray.

yeah I have one with the two legs like in the picture, and I'm always thinking about swapping it for one with 4 legs. It works ok for the most part , but I think more legs would be more stable.I kinda hate to say this, but...that's the stand that my buddy had for years and finally got pissed off enough to get rid of it. And went to one just like my four-leg stand.

This afternoon fitted the Swissstop 220mm rotors and bedded them. Brilliant rotors with stacks of feel and really quiet, so much better than the Sram HS2 220mm rotor I tried but took off because it was noisy and got worse the hotter it got.
