  1. Old and new are compatible, you just need to press the DU bush out. Those top hat things have been out of production for years, and anything you find now will be vrot.
  2. Got a 170mm M760 if that'll help.
  3. Suspension - rather go rigid. There are a few decent 24" forks out there, but they're few and far between, and 20# and below they're even less common. A bad suspension fork is heavy and floppy and doesn't do the suspension bit very well, so rather save the cash and get a nice big squishy front tyre. Hydro vs cable - hydro every time. Lighter lever action + better stopping power = more confidence. There will be a learning curve, it may be steep. But the end result will be better.
  4. AFAIK plugs into a 2" square receiver, which has a much higher load rating.
  5. Fixed. A galled M16x1 aluminium thread will laugh at an EZ-Out, no matter how much you paid for it.
  6. You'll need a big bit though, think it's an M16 thread. Once you've got the head off you should be able to extract the shank with your fingers. Replacement bolts are cheapish.
  7. You just need to make sure that the sensor is protected. Plastic will scratch it and then it's not all that useful as a smart watch anymore.
  8. This. Same as any other purchase - do your homework if you're worried about being taken for a ride.
  9. Ah. Scrap the bit about the special tool then. Replacement ratchet set is your only option I'd reckon, once those rings start slipping it's game over. Same happens to the DT 54T ratchets.
  10. It does confirm that your BB spacing is correct. If the pin doesn't slot in, the left crank is in the wrong place on the axle. The same can be achieved with a manual and a vernier though.
  11. We can also do it for you if you'd rather bring it in directly.
  12. Add to this that you'll need a special tool to get the ratchet ring out... When you say wiped clean, did you completely disassemble the pawls and springs and clean those out too?
  13. Marzocchi Z2. Shares a lot of parts with the Fox 34 and will beat the 35 Silver with a stick. That used Sapphire WT has is also a good option. Entry level stuff from SRAM is designed to make you wish you'd spent the extra cash.
  14. https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/all-derailleur-hangers.html Happy hunting, only 500 odd to sift through. At least you can sort by number of fasteners, 2 in your case. From a brief browse, 569, 472,642 and 682 seem like options. If you're in CT chat to Switchback Sports and see if they'll let you pop in and puzzle.
  15. Find a bike shop that stocks Lezyne, they do the adapter you're after.
  16. I have front, but not rear - they're the same as the Pro 4 if that helps.
  17. I have this exact setup on my gravel bike. Shifting can be a bit fiddly to set up because the GRX RD is only rated to 34T, but once you've got it dialled in it's fine. I have a spare brand new PG-1130 cassette, DM me if you're interested.
  18. Bleed the brake, leave the syringe with some oil in it in the lever, take the pads out, leave the wheel in, and pull the lever repeatedly until the one piston hits the rotor. Once the first piston makes contact the rotor will stop it from popping out of the bore and the other piston will advance. When both pistons hit the rotor, take the wheel out, clean the pistons, push them back in, and repeat until they both advance evenly. If that doesn't do the job, then with the pistons advanced split the caliper and carefully remove the pistons. Clean pistons and bore, lube the pistons and seals with some mineral oil, replace, reassemble and bleed. If neither of these work, replace the caliper. But I've done this many times with a pretty high success rate.
  19. Supplier doesn't have the blade in stock (or indeed even the SKU listed on their system - just checked) so currently not an option... You can buy a complete lever assembly, but that's a bit silly for a little knob that's broken off. OP - Get your LBS to contact the supplier and see what can be done, the lever blade is available from SRAM as a spare part for much less money than the entire assembly.
  20. Do you measure your chains or just log mileage?
  21. Can confirm both of these are good options, bike will need to be boxed before collection though. If you're fine packing it yourself, your LBS may have a bike box knocking around, otherwise Boxman sell one. If you're unsure, just get the LBS to organise the whole move. They do this all the time.
  22. Cape Cycles were the guys who brought them in, but they stopped about 2 years ago and have nothing left. Agree on asking Olympic, their collection of random and out-of-production spares is second to none.
  23. I recently went on the same hunt - your only option is Panaracer. Previous 2 posts have the details.
