Hi Not a sunrace question as per this thread, but you guys seems to know a lot more than me. I have a eThirteen Cassette (11 speed 9-46) and up front is a 32Tooth. The cassette has a lot of play where the two parts come together and I have been told its probably due to incorrect assembly after I got bearings replaced a while back and this has now worn away some metal between the parts. The problem is that this cassette is about R4200 to replace which seems a lot more that other cassettes? I dont know if other makes will fit or what other components I might also have to replace if I fit another brand of casette. I do like the 9-46 as am not the strongest of cyclist so the 46 suites me. Unless one offcourse make the front cog smaller if you go 11-42? Not sure if one can as the front cog is already rather small? Not sure what my options are or if I will have any? Anny suggestions. Many thanks Stefan

Thanks for the help. I have tightened the grub screw and will check them frequently. Much appreciated Mr Marshall.

Hi all I have been riding my "5km" from home quite often now and after cleaning my bike i noticed that a ring around my crank is loose. Not sure if this is normal? Is there anybody with similar bike that can help or somebody with more bike knowledge then me(surely there are!) Bike is a Specialized Camber. The ring is on the left side. It is the black ring with 3 small studs which might actually be small allen keys? It feels like a fairly thin ring and might just be a cover of some sort. Don't want to just yet take the bike to the shop just to be told that it's normal. Will feel like a fool then. Will probably be more foolish to ignore this loose ring and end up damaging my crank! Your assistance will be appreciated. Rgds Stef
