Longbarn Killer Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) This is why I started the more "correct" albeit tedious method of drop per link chain lubing... Thank goodness my lbs is open...Hi. Did you see Boesman88s thread on this? Same chain, same problem. I don't think it has anything to do with putting lube on each link. Edited May 22, 2020 by Longbarn Killer ChrisF, MORNE and Dusty 3
Reme Le Hane Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Hi. Did you see Boesman88s thread on this? Same chain, same problem. I don't think it has anything to do with putting lube on each link.Putting it on is how I spotted it. Forces me to look at every link. Rather spot that at home than in the middle of a ride.

ibruegge Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Morning all, so I got the below toddler seat to roll the little one around the hood for a few minutes after sunrise, but I am technologically challenged.How do I increase the space where the clamp is supposed to go (blue section!)?The steerer tube isn't any longer, need about 8mm more to put a 3rd spacer on and then the clamp.Is the solution maybe another stem that "uses" less space on the steerer tube, or how do I manage to win a bit more space to use this baby seat finally?

DJR Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 ......., and leave the tent poles at home at least once in its life. EDIT: Preferably within 30 min of leaving home, most likely when you're 30 min away from the destination and you've already travelled for 5 hours. ......and that's how the mayhem started Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

I had a few of them, looked the same, which fitted behind you? Edited May 23, 2020 by BSG Riaan H and ChrisF 2

BaGearA Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Knipex. Just lovely. All my pliers, cutters, “handle” tools are them. Lifetime of tools those.Wanted to get A electrical style long nose pliers a while back and nearly threw up when I saw the price, but these are much more affordable and I'll use them enough to justify it But yeah, tools for life for sure Hairy and WrightJnr 2
MORNE Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 This is why I started the more "correct" albeit tedious method of drop per link chain lubing... Thank goodness my lbs is open... sniplook here as already mentioned: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/185611-sram-eagle-cracked-chain-plates/page-1 i'm afraid you might want a whole new chain soon if that is still the same one....

EDIT: found you one:https://www.rookiesports.co.za/product/handlebar-stem-riser/ another option would be to get a new lower upper headset cup...something like the slam set from cane creek.///even a normal zerostack top cup should gain you about 5mm from the looks of it. it looks like you have ateast 8mm the gain there. you MIGHT find stems that are lower stack...not by much though...maybe 5mm lower than what you have. so a combo of a few things might get you the 10mm odd you need. https://isikosports.co.za/Cane-Creek-40-Series-Top-Assembly-Headsets-p91156701 Edited May 25, 2020 by morneS555 Mongoose! 1
