Hijack on Mux you coming tonight? Hijack off

Is that yours Zas? Must be worth a fair whack! Looks really cool!

Not sure about road sidewalls but I have repaired succesfully MTB sidewall cuts with Dental floss and one of those black patches on the inside, that even with tubeless ......

The same as Kempekker with 11 speed .......... Correct. And believe me, there are no such thing as "sneaked out" or "spy" photos. It's done on purpose to get the public "hungry" fro the new stuff. And Specialized's new Epic - I reckon they not admitting there was anything wrong with the old one but just not selling enough of them anymore so they come out with something different and create the hype ala 'Saucer' at the WC XC all over ..........

The same as Kempekker with 11 speed ..........

Not even a Chery! For those from the east rand, the car not the babe!

Thanks JB - tonight I check it with a fine tooth comb! Just to clarify though these are not cranks that I have used, they were given to me as the owner had given up on them so I am trying to see if I could use them myself.

Threads of splines? Wondered the same? The left arm is new so it has new bolts as well!

Not only the size, the rear is 'wavy' and the front not ......

No chance of that in my current state mate!

Cool Mux, if all goes well (will ride tomorrow afternoon!) I will also go race Wednesday ...............

Mux you going to zoo farm wed for the night race?

I wonder why he uses different front and rear rotors?

JB - yes it is as you describe a 'modern' crank.

I see at least FinnigeFanie's fashion sense was in place (no helmet at breakfast!). Ah Quay4, my old German boss from a few years ago called it Kway4 .......

Thanks Greatwhite / cycleq / IanJ. Will try these tips out and see what transpires! Will report back ........

Green would go better with a certain Merida ........ (without a chainring protector of course).

That MTB crank looks a bit gay to me but perhaps it isn't intended for guys .......

Perhaps I need to change the heading to bash Shimano here you Kempekker lovers Hopefully someone knowledgable (thanks IanJ) does read and comment, the rest of you have been about as much use to me as a glass eyeBigBen2008-06-30 01:15:22

After all these years I doubt it but hey it's possible! Oh Greateggwhite is there perhaps a solution?

Just wondering, can a Dura Ace crank 'spindle' wear out (external BB)? Here's the scenario, crank used for a long time (years!) but eventually it is not possible to tighten the non drive side enough. It keeps coming loose! The non-drive side crank has been replaced but it makes no difference, thus leading me believe that it is something to do with the actual 'spindle' thingy on the shaft ........

Sorry to hear that mate but glad you're OK!

Hey ChrisH. that's a nice 'wobble' of bikes as Holy Roller would call it!
