braailegend Posted July 23, 2013 Share So I had my lyric for 3 hours, and I think I managed to break the QR mechanism (Turn it while flipped closed) . http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Full/54647.jpg So I checked, CRC is out of stock: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=54647 Now where would I find one? I was also wondering, would one of the following axles work? Which is a bit more idiot proof? They say however 35mm, while the light is 32mm.. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=54648 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=42219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted July 23, 2013 Share Just read up a bit now, seems I have the 35mm chassis version on my fork, which is good news, as the have in stock. The Revelation/sector has the 32mm chassis. Now my only question is can I use the bolt, as I dont want the QR again. Will see if I can find crow RockShox Lyrik RC2L 2-Step Air - Maxle Lite FR 20mmWith 160 or 170mm travel options, the ability to choose the best damping system for your needs, and a new Maxle Lite thru axle, the Lyriks already epic offering just got leaner and meaner. Sure, the efficient and nimble 35mm chassis design will get you to the top of the mountain. But its the smooth control on the downhill that will drive you to go back to the top again and again.Travel - 115 to 160mm Coil U-Turn,Weight - 2426g (5.34 lbs) Coil U-TurnDamping - Mission Control, Dual Flow reboundAdjustments - External Beginning-Stroke Rebound / High- and Low-Speed Compression, External Travel: Coil U-Turn, Spring via Preload: CoilSteerer Options - Aluminum 1 1/8",Crown - Forged, Hollow Al 66 TVUpper Tubes - 35mm, 7000 Series Straight Wall Aluminum, Low Friction Anodized (With Travel Gradients)Lowers - Magnesium, Post Disc Mount, Maxle Lite 20mm AxleRecommended Rear Shock - Monarch Plus, MonarchMaximum Rotor Size - 210mmColor Options - White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted July 23, 2013 Share Damn, pricey mistake, sorry to hear - some oe's tighten the QR part like a normal QR skewer - Not the correct technique!! You tighten the maxle part a 1/4 turn or so past bedding, not brute tight and then tighten the QR part so it locks with a firm but not forceful push over, I can turn mine easily when flipped close. I love the double safety of the system, really don't think you need the bolt Maxle Lite - then also have the inconvenience of needing to have a spanner to get the wheel out. Never had issues with my maxle Lite with QR on a 140mm Rev, got rather jammed in the hub before tho.There was some kind of really sticky factory grease on it and over 3yrs it kind of glued itself in.After much swearing I realized it just needed a few gentle taps of the copper hammer to ease it out.I feel for people with no copper hammer, such a handy tool that very few will have ever heard of never mind own.

braailegend Posted July 23, 2013 Share Learnt my lesson now atleast. But I have to carry a spanner everywhere. Customised my 12mm solid bolt to fit my 9mm QR dorpouts, which gives bit more rigidity, but they need a number 17 spanner to loosen, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braailegend Posted July 23, 2013 Share Feel like such an idiot now, found this. Seems my QR went lose when I was turning it, but only finding this hidden diagram, I found you can tighten it with the screw deep inside. So whenever someone has this problem again, here is the diagram By the way its fixed http://digitalhippie.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/rockshox_maxle_lite_rear_2011_user_manual.jpg Edited July 23, 2013 by braailegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 23, 2013 Share ROFL! Yeah, that's the setting for the cam's tension. Like the twisty that you'd turn with a QR when you held the other nutted side still... ROFL. Is it okay if I point and laugh? No? I will anyway... braailegend and Iwan Kemp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted July 23, 2013 Share ROFL At least it's not broken and it didn't cost you anything. Mine did the same thing and I rode it a bit loose for a few rides until someone showed me the cam bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
