Are they alloy rims? do they have eyelets? maybe worth getting the little spring washers that go under the nipples?Greased my rear wheel's spoke nipples with linseed oil (no kidding) after those spokes repeatedly getting loose. After ~2.000 km some of the spokes seemingly got loose over night.
That led me to learn the basics on wheels, spokes, tension and truing etc., I bought some tools to measure and correct my wheel's tension, but it didn't seem to help. My rear wheel still emits noises when pedaling due to the torsional forces on the spokes, and some keep losing tension. This trick is my last resort before asking my LBS (who isn't that local) to deal with it.
Anyone else have some recommendations?
Noooooooooooo…Maybe I should put some zip ties around the downtube!
Yup, soon. I like that idea.Took the locks off our Trek Rails and bolted the batteries in with Chipolo ONE Points attached. Saved a lot of weight, won't fall out, and don't rattle.
Try the trueTune, thats exactly what it fixes.I serviced the RS Yari and installed a Charger 2.1 and also serviced the rear shock. It rides much smoother front and rear. But saying that the 2.1 goes through the travel much quicker than the Yaris motion control, even with the sag set at 20% but it's so much smoother.
Don't get me wrong the 2023 Yari is pretty good and comes with the Lyriks updated airspring and rides nicely but stiffens up to much mid stroke so I hardly ever used much more than say 60% of the travel unless hitting serious chunk. Overall I'm impressed, and worth the £165 I paid from Bike Inn for it...but don't get me started on the price of service kits for a few seals and O rings.
