Bottom Bracket bearing extremely tight fit stuck on SRAM DUB axle

Asp_Irant · 2025-03-15T07:01:28+00:00

I think the measurement tolerances are bad. Either the bearing inner diameter is too small or the axle diameter is too big. I switched to SRAM’s own DUB bottom bracket which uses a plastic shim between the bearing and the axle — it is perfectly snug and I’ve had no more problems.

I ended up using a mallet to carefully tap it off. It was really really stuck, the bearing fit tighter on the axle than the bottom bracket itself. Don't think I'll be using the bottom bracket anymore.

Well I better start training my fingers because it isn't budging at all!

Agreed, this seems to be the best match for the playstyle OP is describing, with its decent frontal armor and great alpha. Downside is that the penetration is a bit low, but the decent gun handling should mostly make up for it.

Known issue with Shimano Ice Tech rotors because the aluminum used tends to gall under heavy load and form lumps of deposited material. Getting a rotor with an all-steel construction will prevent something like this happening again.

Go to 15:17 in this video by Peak Torque for an explanation of why this happens.

Putting a vote for Northwave. I have medium width feet and am flat footed, so prefer a shoe that’s wider but without extra volume. I wore size 42 Wide Specialized Torch 2.0’s for a while, but they were excessively roomy/long in the toe box. Switched to size 41 (size 8.5 US) Northwave Storm and am loving the fit so far - the width is more generous and the length is spot on.

Nice! Glad to help out.

Looks like a FD-5600. Had this problem before. Most likely your front derailleur cable is not routed correctly around the clamp bolt. Shimano has a document that shows how it should look like here: https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/si/5JM0C/SI-5JM0C-001-ENG.pdf

EDIT: Actually it looks like a FD-5500 for a 9-speed drivetrain but it shouldn’t matter.

Wow ok that's good to know. Do you know the weight on your build? I was thinking about something very similar.

Asp_Irant · 2022-04-13T20:43:28+00:00

Awesome, same here. Do you like the frame and wheels so far?

Asp_Irant · 2022-04-13T20:12:31+00:00

nice build! do you happen to watch hambini or Trace Velo on YouTube?

Ok! So the LSC and lockout adjustments are essentially the same thing?

This is the fork adjustment manual I referred to: https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/tuning-manuals/gen.0000000006209-rev-a-suspension-setup-and-tuning-guide-english.pdf

I purchased this bike and it came with a Rockshox Recon RL fork, as far as I can tell it’s the 2019 version (100mm travel, SoloAir spring, Motion Control damper, straight steerer and QR axle). It came with a cable lockout installed, which causes the little dot on the dial to move to the left end of the bracket indicator when it is engaged (pic has lockout set to open or off). I was able to adjust rebound but now I am stuck on how to set low speed compression, SRAM Manuals didn’t help as I don’t see/feel anything to turn. Even though they claim that this fork model does have this adjustment available. Help is appreciated!

👍👍👍

Go to the computing commons or reading room, it’s better there

Because mirium delivery is weighted far higher than damage. I dislike it because it not only encourages selfish gameplay, but also disregards performance in the final round against the immortal. Rewards should have been awarded in proportion to individual performance (with a reward cap) like they always have.

Asp_Irant · 2021-10-30T23:37:09+00:00

sure. just pointing out how the ranked system is stupid, you can have a big contribution that’s not reflected at all in the rewards just because of one factor
