  1. I haven't seen any decent ones today... https://unbelievable-facts.com/2017/04/april-fools-day-pranks.html
  2. I've used their motorbike fork oil in one of my previous forks.
  3. In a few years it might all be wireless (at least for top end specs), so problem solved
  4. Yes. Would probably be a little more difficult to do with an alu frame.
  5. Which is why I like what GG did with their frames and routing. The only place I prefer internal is for dropper posts.
  6. I'm in the process of doing a 1x conversion and yanked out the front derailer cable along with its padding. Hopefully it won't result in rattles from the remaining cables.
  7. Shimano chainring bolts use a T30 torx bolt and you need a decent amount of force to loosen them. Guessing it's the threadlock they used. You need strong properly fitting torx keys or you're likely to strip the torx keys and possibly damage the bolts. Also not sure if the advice the LBS gave me about not needing spacers for the chainline is correct, but I'll see when I fit the cranks with the new chainring.
  8. Some useful info on chainline and spacing: Understanding Chainline for Optimal 1X Conversions (Boost and Non-Boos (oneupcomponents.com)
  9. A possible explanation for the right vs left. Maybe someone applied degreaser on the chain / cassette and that worked its way past the seals and into the bearings. Or they just did more thorough washings for that side. I've also had a left / right bearing go bad while the other one was fine. I don't recall which side, but might have been in the freehub.
  10. Cyclist ‘beaten with wheel spanner’ in road rage incident (heraldlive.co.za)
  11. It's a Suntour AION, not sure it would have a Cane Creek race, but maybe something similar. Thanks.
  12. Saw this gap while washing my bike. I recently swapped handlebars and check headset bearings. I'm wondering if I put everything back together correctly. I should take more photos before taking things apart. I took one of the cable routing, but not of this part. It feels fine, turns freely and there's no knocking. I've also seen photos online of other bikes with the same gap. I'm probably going to take it apart again just to be sure.
  13. New colours listed on the website Grey Charcoal Still no green 😛
  14. I had too many annoying pinch flats with tubes to want to go back to using them. Had to run harder tyre pressures to avoid them. I didn't have a good experience with slime in tubes, didn't seal well for me and made patching difficult. Tubeless is a bit more expensive to maintain (sealant costs), but works better for me on the trails.
