The Cheuh

According to what I have read if your RHR is 60 it is considered quite healthy and means you are fitter than most of the population. Lowest I got a few years ago was 41, now at 62.Getting old!!!!

Thought that would be the case as the cassettes are the same width. Thanks Flowta.

Until I can replace the shifters, will 8 speed shifters work with a 9 speed cassette?

It was simple really. Someone screwed up when they installed the initial BB or they used a crappy frame which already had a stripped thread. I removed the original BB in a frame and there it was.

Has anybody used the Suntour Mag 32 and/or Axon forks? Opinions? I know they are not the best but for the price the Axon is going for new compared to other forks it seems great.

Is there any remedy for a stripped thread inside a mtb frame where the BB has to screw in?

Thanks for the info Johan. Will try and take a pic, have already removed the derailleur. Saw the info was not 100% clear. What I meant was that the derailleur is shifting to the side but it is too low as the derailleur cage hits the teeth of the biggest chainring when I try and shift it over. Figured as I can't move the derailleur up I might as well change it.

Hi New to bike wrenching but I want to do it myself. Took ages to get internal BB out. Put Deore M590 crankset with external BB in and realised that my front derailleur is now too low and can't shift past biggest chainring. It is a crappy Alivio derailleur so I have an excuse to replace it. It has a chainstay plate (not sure what you call it) that is attached to the BB. What I want to know, if I install a new derailleur like SLX or XT how can I make sure before I buy if it will work? IS there any specification that I need to look for aside from the size of the clamp? I see SLX comes in a M660 and M661 and XT in M770 and M771 models. What is the difference between them? Thanks
