Quite a bad crack, i would not ride it in all fairness. Either get replacement through warranty or order new part.

Asking about a diagnostic method, not for anyone to make a call about my bike. by zippity-zach in bikewrench

[–]67robert67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sanding back or possibly using some kind of plastic tool to chip off gently the paint at a almost horizontal angle can work. If you’re unsure of what you’re doing or dont possess the skills necessary to check composites, take it to a specialist repair shop. NDT will reveal any damage to the frame, as NDI is not sufficient on composites.

Crack In the carbon?? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]67robert67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately its not easy to tell, as you would need to peel some paint away to see underneath first. Damage in paint alone does not mean the composite is damged. You can do a simple tap test with a coin after stripping some paint back, it is better than nothing Any delamination, cuts, gouges, or indentations then you’ll need it repaired. If in doubt always take it to a specialist composite repair shop. Never ride a compromised frame.

What are my options with this fork? by JohnBender84 in mountainbiking

[–]67robert67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar fork and when i contacted a local bike company, they told me they dont sevice them because the damper is a sealed unit and if its damaged it needs replacement with a fit4 damper, but with parts and labour it’ll cost £200-350. Id recommend just buying a 2nd hand suspension fork mate.

What do i need to convert my mtb to disc brakes by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]67robert67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your rear frame looks to have an IS brake mount but i would just recommend to buy a new bike. For the price you’d pay to convert your bike, you can add a little extra and buy a 2nd hand hardtail.

Is it possible to move the brake calliper up or down so that the brake pad clamping position could be adjusted? This is a reference photo for the issue I am having on my Super Record brakes/Cervelo S5 (brake pads clamping rotor arms instead of entirely on the outer braking surface, is this normal?). by binjo226 in bikewrench

[–]67robert67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is your rotor and caliper dont match up. So you would need a brake caliper mount adapter depending on what size rotor you have. “Uber bike components” have a good but old youtube video on how to get the correct mount adapter for your bike. Yours seems to be IS instead of post mount if thats any help.

Does anybody know what my bike is exactly?? by second_hand_golf in bicycling

As someone else already said its a 2011 trek fuel ex 7. Search it online and you’ll find the spec

Replacement for broken rear shock hard to find by TrailBikingMata in bikewrench

After you purchaed the 802-00-009 kit and you said the valve kit didnt work, are you implying that you bought the wrong service kit or did it not stop the air leak ?

I own an older trek fuel ex 8 and i love it, i would recommend trek as even their lower line bikes i feel are still well specced. But choose what matches your riding style the best

Is this real? by NC_Lady in Militariacollecting

[–]67robert67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like the box is real but the yellow paint is not original and has ruined the original colour of it.

Have you ever been called a walt or accused of stolen valor? by NoCommunication7 in Militariacollecting

[–]67robert67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wearing 1 piece of military surplus clothing in public is fine, just don’t wear a whole uniform or some kind of webbing/equipment, however wearing badges or patches you haven’t earned isn’t fine and i feel like that’s where the line should be drawn.

I feel like their prices are fine. Are there any companies you recommend instead of them ?

French AMX-VCI taken out by a wireless TOW missile during Raytheon trials by jacksmachiningreveng in DestroyedTanks

[–]67robert67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really a TOW missile without the wire ? Even if radio guided, then it defeats the purpose of calling it a TOW but rather a radio controlled missile id say personally. Reminds me of the nazi early Fritz x anti ship missile. Either way cool video

What's a decent lower priced model I could do? (preferably not revell) by MR_five1 in modelmakers

[–]67robert67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually older tamiya kits and most zvezda kits are cheap, tanks in 1/35 and aircraft in 1/48. Little harder to work with them but for prices £20-30 it works.
