[which manufacturer of MTB shoes are generally the widest?]

Diadora!! But difficult to get hold of locally.

[BOA Lace Replacement]

When I ordered a warranty replacement last year, it arrived within the week.

They are sending it with FedEx. ETA the 7th. It will be insane quick if it is here by Friday

[BOA Lace Replacement]

Which shoe?

 

Some spez stores carry limited spares for their shoes but they're usually marked up substantially

Diadora MTB

Got it from CRC 2 years ago.

Best shoes for a large toebox and high arch.

[BOA Lace Replacement]

Just ordered replacement from their website. Can't believe how easy it was. BUT doubt that I will receive it in the next few weeks with everything in lockdown.

Did a quick search but cant find a local supplier.

Fortunately, have another old pair of shoes, but dont want to wait weeks for the replacement.

Any suggestions where I can get it locally.

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Jip.

At least spread the load with two of those quick.release brackets ...

Also thought so.

Trying do do something like this

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Solution was under my nose the whole time.

Used my mount for the bike light. Still needs some work but will suffice for now.

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Of your frame is a hardtail then you can always use something like the Topeak versamount.

Or you can add the Fidlock twist system if you want the low profile look. Not cheap, but I don't think you are going to get a quick release system for little money. https://fidlock-bike.us/

Or the Fabric Cageless bottle system. https://fabric.cc/products/hydration/cageless-bottle-525ml-insulated/

The cageless is cool and look neat

Maybe hack a gopro seatpost mount or something similar?

In my search for gopro mounts I found this

I think I will be able to attach a bottle cage on it.

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Hi 

 

Could something like this work?

 

https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/the-holy-rail/products/holy-rail-strap

 

Lyne suggests that you mount a holy rail and then your bottle.

 

Stupid question/solution, how often do you intend to remove the bottle cage? It's quite wastefull but cable ties could perhaps work...

That might work. Tx

 

Not that often. Maybe twice a month on very long rides

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Check out GCN youtube they had something magnetic that you twist off.

Can work. Just a bit pricey $40

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

I haven't seen one either so curious to know if this hack exists. Is it because you want to quickly remove and install in another bike or is there another reason for QR unit?

My bike's 2nd bottle cage is below the frame. Lot of mud. Most of my rides 1 bottel is enough. I prefer a clean seatpost without a saddle bag and permanent bottle cage. So, if I do need a 2nd bottle I want a quick option to put on and take off.

[Looking for solution: Bottle cage mount]

Hi Hubbers

 

Looking for a bottle cage mount with a quick release. This is for a seatpost. Most mounts that I have seen needs a tool to disassemble which take time. The attachment to the seatpost should be quick and easy.

Some have a single ring, others a double ring for the top and bottoms screws. It has to be a single ring. An idea was to use a short QR quick release of a normal seatpost clamp and combine it with a single ring bottle cage mount. But I am struggling to find a QR and a single ring bottle cage that will work together.

 

Does somebody have a hack that they have deviced or is there something in the marketplace.

 

Thanks

[New Shimano 12 speed group set.]

Hi

 

I have a 12 speed XT shifter, XT chain and XT derailleur with a SRAM GX cassette and a Rapide crankset.  No issues with it. Shifting is smooth and the chain runs quiet.  Have probably done a 1000 km with the setup. A bit early to say but i have not not noticed or experienced any wear on the cassette, chain or chainring.

 

 

   

 

 

Hi all,not sure if this topic has been covered by someone yet?


Can you run the new Shimano 12 speed set up but running a Sunrace cassette and using an alternative chainring ,not Shimano specific.

Obviously you loose the cassette range which Shimano offers on their cassette.

It has been mentioned to me that their chains have a different pitch and will prematurely wear out any non specific Shimano 12 speed components, is this true?

If so then to use an alternative chain other than Shimano if that is the case.

My plan was to just do an upgrade kit on shifter, derailleur and chain and using the current Sunrace 11-50 cassette and my current crank with chainring.

Thanks.

No, you just need to sign up for the Endurance option. Then your weekly goal is pushed to 1200, but those longer activities get you more points. If you're doing the activities anyway, why not? Then again, if you're going to max out the yearly activity points anyway, and all you're interested in is your personal fitness, then it's no big deal.

I am going to max out in any case at 900 points per week. rather prefer the 900. As said above, easy to achieve for those weeks when you are sick or just to busy to exercise. thanks

I assume the 450 and 600 points are only for those that have done the "High Permance" fitness assessment. I often exercise more than 2 hours at >70% and have never received more than 300 points
