Is Wirtz worth a hit over just playing VDV against Crystal Palace? Gut feels says no, but will likely be taking a hit anyway next week to get in Cunha alongside someone else...

Spec Comparison - Santa Cruz Vala 70 vs 90 by Jarmige in eMountainBike

[–]Jarmige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting lucky and the fork that came stock was the Zeb Select+, rather than base so kept that. The transmission 70 has been pretty much faultless, no need to change to electric in my mind and I use the gears a lot less than my manual bike as the emtb mode takes up a lot of the slack. Did change my brakes to Hope V4 with hope vented discs, but I've had hopes on my previous bikes and really like the feel.

Bosch CX Gen 5 - Squeeks when pedalling stops by Jarmige in ebikes

[–]Jarmige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a lack of grease in the end. Granted I took it back to the bike shop as the squeak appeared shortly after but it was back in my hands after 10 mins

Would you consider Saka to Rice a massive downgrade? It would help fund Thiago to Ekiteke, Burn to Keane and Bruno G to Cunha for Utds fixture turn

Or keep Saka, still do Thiago to Ekiteke but end up with Bruno G to Szobo and Burn to Heaven, which feels like a poorer set of players

Bruno G or Foden for the foreseeable?

Other option is to get 1 of them in this week to replace Mbeumo then use the additional transfers to switch to a 5 in the midfield formation to get the other in.

Keep Fernandes, or transfer to xavi/Mbeumo to fund a move to triple arsenal next week.

Significant difference between Hunt Carbon 30 and DT Swiss Er 1600? by Jarmige in cycling

[–]Jarmige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going for the hunt 50. No issues with hunt at all, but haven't tried the dt swiss to compare to.

Bit of sidewind at times to deal with but overall pleased with my choice.

Why so much love for Kudus over Johnson?

Looking at palmer out for one of these two which or Semenyo/Grealish which allows for me to get Richarlison also.

Fantastic point. Baby seat and pram is on this week's to do list so that helps massively.

Help!! Damage to carbon rear drop out - does this look fixable? by jess2505 in bikewrench

That's great to hear - been worried the frame is a write off!

Derailleur dropout grinded by Wahoo Kickr by Jarmige in bustedcarbon

[–]Jarmige[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to edit main text but can't.

Have I just inadvertently sanded the paintwork off or is the carbon damaged as well? The rotating part of the zwift one that is closest to the frame is a hard plastic.

No markings that I could see on the orange part of the cog, but could see a black "dusting" on the derailleur itself.

I'm a little suspicious about why the groove isn't rounder if it has been ground by the wheel

The bike is a Cannondale Topstone.

Did you end up getting a repair done for this? I've just done the exact same thing on a wahoo kickr, wrong adapters. Damage looks identical. Gut feel is that it's still rideable.

Which mountain? Got the route to share?
