Have had more trouble with Dissectors on the rear than any other tyre in quite a few years.
Sold 2 brand newies I had here on FB a few weeks back, not a fan.

I really like them, I find them really versatile on the rear particularly around Melb where there’s a mix of soil types. I just also completely fuct a line through a chunky rock garden and hadn’t checked tyre pressure before leaving home

Yeah I'm not a fan either. Tried them twice but each time found the grip lacking and they shred so quickly.
Currently trying the Kenda Pinner front and rear and I'm liking them.

As I can't ride right now I decided to make a start on the new BB and crankset.
Shimano in their wisdom have reduced the external cup diameter but fortunately my bb tool also has a BBR600 size (Ultegra etc) and this fits perfectly. It means I don't need to worry about the plastic adapter it came with.
Race Face cranks are literally a cinch to install too! Can't wait for my new chainring to arrive
I managed to bend the shifter lever so it clears the top upshift lever (that is strong steel!) but I have a lovely XT one on the way (thanks @Lucaw!).

The tool used for the smaller BB's is a FC41, this is also the tool used for Shimano direct mount chainrings.As I can't ride right now I decided to make a start on the new BB and crankset.

Its good that they supply a proper tool with their new cranksets now but you just get the plastic adaptor ring with the BB's.
A few years back, RaceFace were selling their NextSL cinch cranksets and BSA30 BB for a squillion dollars a set, when you opened the box, they needed a proprietary cinch BB tool to install the cups.

Giving the bike and drivetrain a bit of a birthday after it had been living on the back of the Van in Tassie for the last 2 weeks. Rain, Mud, Road grime, beach sand, you name it and its copped it...Hosing off at post ride bikewash stations only does so much. Haven't had surface rust on a chain since i was a kid.

My chain was rusty this morning too... hadn’t touched it since it got rained on between St Helens and Devonport. Woops.Giving the bike and drivetrain a bit of a birthday after it had been living on the back of the Van in Tassie for the last 2 weeks.

Erm, what chainring? No way was a 12sp chain dropping on a 11sp chainring when I tried it.

Out of interest....why? 11sp chains are cheaper.

Cause I didn't have an 11spd in the spares drawer.
I had read that it works and is quieter as well.
Can't confirm the second part as yet
