  1. Sram 10 speed has a 1:1 pull ratio for road and mtb. I been mixing Sram 10 speed road and mtb shifters and derailleurs for ages. works 100%. Not sure if it is still the case with 11 speeds Mixing Shimano 8 ; 9 ;10 and 11 speed mtb and road components is a minefield in terms of pull ratio's... Fun fact: With my very first monster bike built (can be 12 to13 years back) inspired by a thread on the old Hub (before the website crashed) I have used: Giant XTC aluminium 29er frame and a rigid carbon fork Sora 8 speed (shifters and derailleur) Mechanical cable disc brakes The braking was really bad with a lot of flex At the end the flexing was not the brake cable as many will assume, but the plastic STI levers... Changed to Sram Red 10 speed carbon shifters and the difference in braking performance was like night and day (using the same cables and brake callipers)
  2. so the additional 90 days appears to be a gesture of goodwill then? Friday scoreboard then JJacquesJ : 1 Bikehub keyboard warriors (including myself) : 0 🙃
  3. Limited Warranty 1. Should a material and/or manufacturing defect occur within the warranty period, Tacx will repair the defect and/or replace the defective part/product at no additional cost. Should such repair or replacement not be possible, or cannot reasonably be expected of Tacx , Tacx reserves the right to reimburse the market value of the part or product that has been returned. 2. If a part or product is replaced within the warranty period, the original warranty period will still apply to that replaced part or product. The original warranty period is never extended or renewed by part or product replacement. 3. When a defect arises, Tacx must be notified in writing as soon as possible, but no later than two months after the defect has been discovered or should have been discovered. 4. This warranty is invalid and will not apply if the defect is the result of: a) maintenance work/repair work not carried out by Garmin or Tacx ; b) improper use of the part or product and/or, use of the part or product for a purpose other than the purpose for which the part or product is intended; c) the use of parts that are not original Tacx parts; d) changes to the product, which have been implemented without permission from Garmin or Tacx ; e) normal wear and tear and/or poor/improper maintenance;
  4. Can be that JacquesJ is a Garmin employee Happy Friday everyone
  5. very valid point
  6. You have some cool stuff on your website 👌👍
  7. Whenever I see this rack, it makes me sad. Thinking about the gravel event we lost ...
  8. 👍 No 11 on this one works perfectly
  9. Just tighten valve core with a spoke tensioning tool
  10. yes, you are correct, Tried both (with and without extender) Both worked, but slightly better with extender. (in my experience) it is also very important that your derailleur hanger on bike must be 110% straight when using a derailleur hanger extender...
  11. guess I was just lucky then. On three of my bikes where I installed hanger extensions with perfect shifting. Ultegra R8000 short gage - 32/11 cassette 11 speed (Supersix evo) Tiagra R4700 short gage - 32/11 cassette 10 speed (Cervelo S 5) Sram XO (Red shifters) 46/11 (one by) 10 speed (Giant XTC monster cross)
  12. Together with a looong chain...
  13. The Kickr is still the better option for Zwift racing and team time trails on Zwift. - "Racing mode" quickest response time between trainer and software (faster than Ant plus ; Bluetooth or Wifi) - "Direct connect" (lan cable connects trainer to computer) More stable (no power drops) than Ant plus ; Bluetooth or Wifi But on the other hand, Zwift isn't the only virtual indoor cycling platform anymore...
  14. Where can one buy of the "Special grease" to apply on the ratchet / rear hub. Or can I just make my own with melted Lip ice; Vaseline and Flora margarine 😜
