Hey guys Ive noticed my rotor is bent as its rubbing against my brake pads . Ive spaced the brake caliper so its clear , but still rubs slightly against the pad. How do I change the rotor as there is rivets and no screws ? Do I have to replace the hub as well ?

I have continental race kings on atm

I think I'll test my dads large and a meduim from the bike shop and make a decision from there

Hey guys. What is the correct way of sizing up a bike? I am 1.8m tall and ride a xl 26" hardtail but im wanting to upgrade to a 650b . I feel that the bike is a bit big for me and think a large frame would be better to handle on the single tracks. Your opinions would be very helpful in me making a decision .

Its only when I change down and once I apply a bit of pressure on the chain it slips one or two gears down by itself. There is no gunge between the cogs at all.

Hey guys. I went for a ride this am , but it ended very soon as my chain kept slipping sounded like it was changing gears on its own. If I gear up its fine but when I hear down to a easier gear thats when it starts slipping. My bike went for a minor service 4 weeks ago and they straightened the dereiuler hanger . After the service the bike was still slipping so when I got home I checked my bike and found the rear wheel was loose , so tightened it and went for a ride last sunday and everything was smooth. So Wednesday I cleaned my bike removed the chain cleaned all the old grease and muck off it, put the chain back an relubed it. On the stand it was gearing fine but on the trail this am the chain was slipping . What could the cause be of the chain slipping? I played with the adjuster by the shifter but still didnt come right

I watched a youtube clip I have a pipe cutter to cut the steerer. Its just getting the 15mm nut inside the steerer
