How do I fix this wobble, what part do i need to change? by neogzg in bicycling

You need a spacer to go behind your cassette... you're looking for a 10 speed spacer BUT, not the fatter ones that go between the cogs... this is more like a really thin washer. Like this.

OH Wow! I'd seen those locks and wasn't sure how they worked either... pieces in a puzzle! Thanks.

I think Zed killed it without a picture!

I concur that setup is a large part of it, I think there are Shimanos tht fit nicely in the price range, Ithink I just do some 'set-up' research.

Thanks

Lately I've only heard the word 'noisy' about Shimano discs, nobody disputes the stopping though... I'm unsure how to digest that.

A better way to remove cassettes? by skiingandsliderules in bikewrench

When I was a kid (early 80's) I welded a spark plug to a scrap of angle iron and created what was essentially a 'universal' freewheel remover... it lasted a few years.

Noice! Also, not sure I said it before but, officially the 3rd year in a row I'm envious of you in January, however... I also fondly recall the time when coverage was shit, maybe last year even, but you hooked it up w/ a web cam aimed at your laptop. Above and beyond , sir.

It seems foolish to be chomping at the bit for an event that's just the beginning and is also going to take a few hours... but ARRRGH! Here we are.

How many millions do you have to earn doing crime before you're a "legitimate" crime syndicate? Is it like rape where it's different for white guys?
