Thanks for looking, much appreciated. Re: Dropper. Mine initially had a faulty cartridge which was replaced under warranty (Apparently they cost about $60 fyi) but in addition to that, as mine is a 9.8 and has 2x11, so i have the thumb switch rather than the under bar remote for the dropper as...
Thanks. Yeah you're probably right about the MTBR thread but RB is usually my go to. Re: customer support, you're right but I want to check whether this is normal before I go busting my LBS's chops about it, took a fair bit of convincing to get them to send my dropper off for repair under...
Hi,
Just want to check whether anyone else has noticed this on 2017 carbon treks, basically crappy workmanship from the factory, looks like the ISCG tab was installed after frame painting then ground down by a 5 year old with a die grinder, at first it looks like dropped chain damage but...
Thanks for the suggestions.
rowdyflat, Not sure I understand what you mean by zip ties through the holes.
99FGT, I have to use a side mount cage on this frame as it is due to the small size of the front triangle, so that rules out gaining space that way and also eliminates the Lezyne cage...
Hi,
Yes i'm probably a dinosaur but I like to carry a frame mounted pump when i'm not racing and for local rides I don't like to carry a Camelbak, etc so it's nice to have my essentials attached to the frame.
Trouble is that my new Trek Fuel EX has a very fat and square downtube so my...
Nice. Was going to pull the trigger on a 9 but hated the colour (like the black/red of the 8) ended up buying a 9.8. Only had a few rides so far and loving it.
CRC Again here, two XT shadow plus derailleurs with faulty clutches replaced under warranty with no questions asked and not the usual "Duh, we've never heard of that before" story for a common failure.
Nick's at Springwood have done a couple of odd jobs for me here and there with no notice...
Good question, it may be impossible but I'd considered something similar to this, or at least partially jumping. Even if this happened though, I have no idea how to simulate it.
Interesting that. Not enough detail in the reviews to tell if they have anything in common unfortunately. Never had any issues with XT 1x10 using NW until this bike though.
In the office so I don't have a pic. Chain isn't too short, still plenty of movement in cage at full compression, not a new build by the way, has been set up this way (with guide) for a year and a half at least. 42t by the way, giant cog/expensive dinner plate. Before you ask, broken chains...
Hi Moorey,
Craftworks FRX v3. Chain growth isn't significant (from memory).
Something which comes to mind is that due to the short chain stay (420mm), the chain angle to the chain ring at the top and bottom cog is greater than on my trance (~435mm) though I doubt this would be very...
I suppose it's a possibility but XT chain faulty in separate locations and the same issue with a KMC missing link? There would have to be something specifically wrong with the manufacturing chain, should be obvious to look at.
Hi All,
I have a weird problem with one of my bikes which I can't find an obvious explanation for and wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
The problem is occurring on a single pivot frame running a 1x10 drive train with a wolf tooth 32t ring, XT clutched rear derailleur on SLX...
Was my turf growing up. Not much in the way of singletrack around, you might still find some old dirt jumps in the bush off Burralow Rd. There's an old dirt road which runs off the side of bells line just below the speed camera and pops out near the little primary school, otherwise you can ride...
