Shepherd Posted December 2, 2014 Share After my little lie-down at Rhodes Mem this weekendClose enough I had to do the same thing... I think they should make a nice plug with an allen fitting that expands and locks it in place... Otherwise AMAZING grips... Warren_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmycool Posted December 17, 2014 Share Bike computer broken... That must be from a diesel, it redlines at only 4500rpm. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted December 17, 2014 Share At least they are Italian dials....How can you tell? Its from a diesel with that low redline and the Italians aren't very big on diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanpre44 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Didn't get a pic, but:Went cycling with some friends on the Spruit, the one friend fell and his brake lever seems to have pulled out from the "master cylinder", needless to say we don't take sir-clip pliers along on a ride. After a bit of faffing we found that the elastic around a tube did a good enough job to keep the lever in its intended position which held up well for another 20km.

GreatGusto Posted December 22, 2014 Share Made a lower headset seal for my FSA headset from a toilet cistern outlet seal. Was the only thing I had in the garage that was even close to the right size! The upper seal was a bit more tricky as a standard o-ring is a bit too thick. Lucky for me, I had just serviced my rear shock and one of the seals for the air chamber fitted perfectly. Cleaned it up, chucked it in, and presto - fully sealed headset for no bucks at all. JXV and johanpre44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatGusto Posted December 23, 2014 Share Must produce a photo or it never happened! Introducing the toilet seal headset. Still can't believe that Trek would sell a bike in this class with an open cage bearing headset. I'm amazed that the bearing lasted 18 months without damage - the bike got hammered and washed like a zillion times, and I always spray water up the headset tube area to clear out the mud!
