    Typical SA contractor work ethic. “It’s not my problem “.

    The height from the top Of the engagement bars to the top of the wings where the shoe lugs engage is fixed. if h sole wears it lowers the lugs toward the wings which means the lugs engage the wings. If you shim the cleat you add material to The sole which raises the lugs and you need to take up that space with the pedals wing shims which is what the OP is looking for

    One up is fully user serviceable and travel adjust is very easy i I wasn’t aware the lyne contour v3 was available in 125mm drop. I thought it was only 170mm and 200mm drop

    In SA? Yes, that’s only due September apparently

    This hack reduces vertical play but can increase shoe roll if the shoe lugs are not fully engaged on the shiny bits (wings) of the pedal body
  6. DieselnDust
    If the bars have eroded the sole then the shoe lugs will fit more tightly on pedal wings. That’s why the sleeves exist so as to build up the wings to engage the shoe lugs and take the load off the sole of the shoe

    I’m assuming the alloy wheels came on your bike and the carbon were custom built?
  8. DieselnDust
    Alloy wheels can survive a lot and they’re generally more comfortable. Much cheaper to replace and build over night. Can also usually be repaired and put back into service at a WP tech zone whereas a carbon wheel will need to be replaced

    These will move the cleat further from the bottom of the shoe making the rocking worse. The wings of the pedal have to be thickened using the depicted sleeves. tou could also build up the thickness of the sides using heat shrink tubing

    No need for a new bike if yours is that current. focus on the training and getting to know your partner

    Well if you want a post that will last along time and is supported by the distributor then spend a little more. The One Up V3 dropper is about R5500, seems very durable and doesn’t develop slop like the cheap posts do. I’ve had a Lyne and even before it was a year old it developed a lot of slop and was told that’s just how all posts are. Then once the warranty had expired it turned out the outer tube was worn and they didn’t have a spare part for that. Never again. You get what you pay for. So to me a reasonable price for a quality dropper is between R5000 and R6000. i want my kit to work and work reliably. If slop is acceptable then I may as well not service my pivot bearings either 😟

    What do you consider to be a reasonable price?

    Luke had a moerse crash on the 2nd lap. Broke his number board, bottle cage and banged his head pretty good
  14. DieselnDust
    Could cause the chain to skip
  15. DieselnDust
    No, it’s too wide
  16. DieselnDust
    Yes he’s been using csixx rings for about 2 years at least, they make custom offset rings in the larger sizes that Shimano does not supply
  17. DieselnDust
    YES It accomodates SRAM Direct mount Transmission
  18. DieselnDust
    beat me to it Op Can we have a pic of the broken chain please
  19. DieselnDust
    110mm in low 120mm in high. Brings it up to date with other offerings from the competition

    Val di Sole this weekend and Alan is riding a brand spanking new Anthem

    There is a Enduro Seal race that works better with higher road bike pressure. I use it in both Road and MTB with very reliable results
  22. DieselnDust
    No worries. You okes are fed so much BS by product marketers in the cycling industry that the truth is a muddied concept. Chain Lube are amongst the worst culprits. Enduro Wax is the real deal. Silca ....I won't say anything further other than what i have in previous posts about overpriced snake oils. There's a few more that Shawn has put a lot of development time into his Enduro range of products. He tests, formulates, asks for testers opinions and reformulates iteratively. Where the sealants and lubricants have landed is the result of extreme passion for what he's doing and enlisting the help of highy experienced people in the fields of Lubricating Engineering and chemistry.

    regardless, there is oil in there...Those lubes use water as the solvent and not a hydrocarbon but there is oil in there. This is why love reading chain lube threads. So much entertainment in pseudoscience. Fact 1: Enduro Chain wax works - it adheres very well to metal. Where most lubes fail is because the polar bonds of the original lube isn't broken by the lube being applied over it. Enduro Lube also has an effective solid lubricant inside that is held in suspension. Fact2: all chainlubes have oil. Wax contains oil. the amount of oil is important. To much and the wax is too fluid, too pliable and it is forced out under pressure, too little and the paraffin structures can't move past each other without breaking making the observed wax too brittle. The water is just a carrier. the oil provides the right mount of ductility. Join us at lunch time for more lubricating facts

    Oh pray do tell what African magic is this non oil lube….?

    The French know how to celebrate their cyclists. Pinot had quite a moving send off last year too
