BSG Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Grips. A liberal dousing of hairspray inside and on the bars, pop on. Done.Our first attempt, they said alcohol, only had Brannas so gave it a shot and it worked very well. Dries up easily and quickly but one smells like a dronkgat when you are out on your first ride.

MrJacques Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Make sure to route your chain correctly through the derailleur and test it on the stand before you test it on the ground I managed to route it outside the cage and nearly mangled the cage and chain. Some jobs require more than one person - e.g. to set the b-gap on an Eagle derailleur it should be done at 30% sag which is pretty difficult on your own. You may be able to deflate the shock and hold it in place with a strap to get the suspension at the correct sag without weight on the bike. love2fly and Vetplant 2

Nou maar n LARGE PRINT nota gemaak .... You can also try dropping a dot of tippex on the 11spd or 10spd chain for a quick visual reference ... next thing you have been riding in the rain and that card gets wet leaving you with Egyptian hieroglyphics to decipher on the side of the trail.

May go for centre punching "." for the 10 speed link and ".." for the 11 speed.

Or are you a good Samarthan that want to help someone else you might come across? Started of having dual sets of spares when Maritz had smaller bikes. He now carries his own spare tube, for the rest we have the same gear. So I could simplify my setup .... Last weekend I rode with a buddy and he snapped his chain doing a power shift half way up Bloemen-climb .... turns out he has a 10 speed bike, and thankfully I still had Maritz's old 10 speed link in my bag. But ja, I am that guy that stops and helps others along the trail. On many a fun ride event I have lost sight of the bunch fixing somebody's bike .... Charles71, TheoG and Dirkitech 3

IF that was my friend I would have him walk to the top of the climb and then offer the link ... next time he will bring a spare link with. TheoG, Jackal355 and Vetplant 3
