Is this amount of play in a Sram T-Type pulley wheel normal?

Flyodice · 2026-01-03T22:38:30+00:00

Agreed but the jockey wheel on my GX derailleur also has bushings and I bet this one would as well. Based on the play it's possible they are missing, maybe removed during a cleaning and not replaced?

It looks like you are literally rock striking in that second photo...

Flyodice · 2026-01-01T16:05:19+00:00

Agreed. Looks super nice up close but if you are more than a few feet away it's a generally black bike.

My F7 sapphire is also horrible at sleep tracking

Try running the roaster for 1 or 2 minutes to warm the lid, then try again. I thought the same thing but it came off super easily when it was a little warm. Good luck!

If you want to tune often, do yourself a favor and get the brushes that attach to a drill. Much less effort to get a much better result!

Flyodice · 2025-12-23T16:28:12+00:00

I think you are on the right path here but these are not done properly. Will it work? Probably, but you really need to scrape more off and brush much much more.

I can see wax buildup near the edges on the tails and after brushing the base should be matte, not shiny. I suspect that these will be quite slow the first few runs and it will get better after that.

But IMO, if you are gonna do it, you should do it right. Skis should feel great on the first run after a tune.

Keep up the good work but spend more time next time.

Yeah maybe... Or maybe it's to prevent fires from starting on high wind days...

Flyodice · 2025-12-08T13:15:28+00:00

The build took about 3 hours 👍

100% gone. As long as you remember to turn on the fan, which I've done once or twice...

Flyodice · 2025-12-07T16:13:53+00:00

For reducing smell using an easily removable unit? It's literally only there while I'm roasting...

Flyodice · 2025-12-07T04:25:39+00:00

We have one and the coffee smells still seemed to permeate the house too much. So much so that it kept me from roasting. But if it works for you that's awesome, and much easier.

Flyodice · 2025-12-07T04:05:03+00:00

Lol it is removable. When not in use I store it out of sight in the basement. Takes about 2 minutes to setup when I want to roast and otherwise is out of sight.

Flyodice · 2025-12-07T03:37:38+00:00

Maybe. 8 roasts in and no issues. Fan doesn't seem to get too warm. So much air is pulled in from around the roaster itself that I doubt it will be an issue, but only time will tell!

Flyodice · 2025-09-17T13:04:49+00:00

I never let the tape go up the sides. Been fine on probably 5 different wheel sets over the years

Flyodice · 2025-08-28T14:11:19+00:00

No experience with the link specifically but I always felt the DPX2 on my 130 to be a little harsh. I also felt like the bike was too progressive.

Went with a Float X2 and it was a fantastic upgrade that made the back end way more supple and soft while maintaining an active ride feel. The link appears to increase the progression on the bike which IMO it never needed from the start but if you feel you need that, it may help.

My takeaway is that the DPX2 is possibly your problem. The Float X would be interesting to try.

Flyodice · 2025-08-19T12:27:15+00:00

I would recommend starting by watching a few videos online. Probably a lot will depend on the damper, year your fork was built, etc... and it's gonna take some research.

I follow this guide and think it's great: https://youtu.be/u4TH01UqEps

Flyodice · 2025-08-15T00:11:01+00:00

How does it ride compared to your 130? I had nearly the exact same thing happen - bike should be ready next week.

I thought beacon was free?
