  1. How many kilometers did you get on your complete drive chain (chain, front chain ring and the cassette)before you had to replace it? Please indicate if it's MTB or road.
  2. Advice on replacing my AVALANCHE Ltwoo AX 1x12 MTB chain - they reckon Shimano is a good option, but there are several different options. Which would be the most suitable?
  3. This topic has been covered often, usually with similar solutions. I must be missing something... hoping someone can tell me what else to try. Chain slip in smallest sprocket (11T) at power (>500w), obviously worse with small chain ring, but also happens in big chain ring. Brand new Campagnolo Record 12s chain, like new Super Record Cassette and Record RD on low millage Bora Ultra wheels and freehub. Nothing is worn out. Chain is the right length, not stretched (new) and the tension is good. I straightened the derailleur hanger, moved the limits and re-indexed (it is so perfectly sweet). Only started after I changed from SRAM 12s to new Campy 12s chain. [SRAM 12s chains run quieter over Campy teeth than Campy chains...] I did also re-grease the free-hub. Can a freehub slip and sound/feel like chain slip? Also set the B-screw tension to as close as possible (to engage more of the sprocket teeth). The cassette lock ring is at the required 40Nm and the freehub nut is clean and fits flush. What else should I try? Any input will be highly appreciated. Charl
  4. Hi guys, Had a look at all the normal local online shops. Anyone know where i can buy a chain guide locally for my bike? I want to convert my bike to 1x10. Thanks in advance
  5. I fitted a new Connex single speed chain to my dirt jumper. After the first chain clean, I used a waxed based lube on it. I rode the bike a few times over 3 weeks and now the chain has developed multiple tight links. Tried the following: - cleaned and degreased the chain - applied a light oil based chain lube - twisted the chain back and forth at the tight links to try loosen them It seemed to work for while until after 2 rides then the stiff links seemed to return. I don't know if it's a defect with the chain or am I doing something wrong?
  6. Howzit, I recently watched a couple videos on YouTube about chain waxing(one linked below) and think it’s great but I’m struggling to find all the necessary hot melt wax lubricant beads or the strip chip as shown in the video. I like how he suggested that you can make a quick chain hanger with wood and angle brackets. Will do something similar. I already found a cheap wax warmer on Takealot https://www.takealot.com/pro-wax-100-wax-warmer/PLID70397760 Any references or links to necessary parts or products would be appreciated 🚲 TIA Video:
  7. I have a '22 model that hasn't had much off-road action and has been serviced by Durbanville cycles since I purchased the bike. It's always had some chain slack when in the small rear gear (it's a 1 x 12 L-Twoo set up) and if you're pedalling at high RPMs and stop pedalling, the chain lunges forward then resets itself (tested when on a bike service frame too) 2nd issue is that when you push down on the pedal after coasting it doesn't engage the rear wheel/power immediately. There's a slight lag before the power is engaged. Any ideas on what is happening? I'm in the NL πŸ‡³πŸ‡± now so I can't take back to DVC πŸ™„
