My layman take on it is if their is still going to be bone growth going into the future it is beter to remove it as leaving it in woul inhibit the growth and lead to further fractures. However if you are done growing their is no need for removal

They all become brittle after a while. Found easiest solution to be a bottle with wide enough opening, put chain in, cover with either diesel or parafin, put cap on, soak for an hour, shake vigorously. Afterwards I filter diesel to remove solids and some impurities. Diesel can be recycled for re-use later. Also took to alternate between 2 chains, soak one whilst I put other on for that week thereby reducing downtime and give you time to clean dirty one.

Just take a dump before you go out riding, gauranteed to drop your weight by at least as much and would hardly cost you anything besides toiletpaper

Well done mate, after action - satisfaction, now go ride.

1. Is it your size 2. What do you intend doing with it 3. Are you considering upgrading in the future

Just a guideline my max is supposed to be 185 and i regularly spike it at over 200. Just monitor yourself and if you feel some discomfort lay of for a bit.

On the face of it it only seems as if outer sleeve is damaged, if it is not leaking you may get away with a patch job. however keep an eye on the patch to see whether it holds when pressure is applied under breaking. If it leaks rather replace the whole line

Carefully remove seal by gently levering it past pawls ( depress them taking care not to lose them) . Clean the seal and refit, drip a couple of drops on lip of seal - not to much otherwise it will attract dust you only want to stop it becomming brittle which will happen if you dont service it. Worthwhile doing as new seals retail between R30-50.

I have used Shimano mineral oil for the last 3 yrs with no side effects

If that's what his car looks like after add ons just imagine what the bike is going to look like after having been pimped. Lol

This is what you are looking for http://www.pricepoint.com/Brand/Mavic/Mavic-15mm-to-9mm-Q-R-Adapter.axd

Question- first time that you tried to use the wheelset in which case it either got lost because on the Mavics that adaptor just pulls off or it was never supplied with the wheel

Your LBS should be able to order you one

Correction non drive side, two different wheels :-)

Agreed, seems to be missing part of the QR adaptor on the drive side

Post us a picture

If your frame does not take a through axle I suggest that you get adapters to enable your wheel to take a QR.

Name and shame. Who are the con artist?

Now that is music to my ears. What ratio are you running up front?
