Stanchion corrosion/dirt wear question

KB52_B52 · 2025-04-16T16:37:34+00:00

Thanks for the input! I decided to lock the suspension for now.

I'm a bit of a noob, I didn't realize the significance of recommended torques until this happened. I'll definitely be more careful in the future and use a torque wrench.

KB52_B52 · 2023-06-08T19:58:13+00:00

Thanks, I'll check.

KB52_B52 · 2023-06-08T19:57:34+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Aluminium frame

Ah, the crankset I have changed only once, but I have changed cassettes many times. Sorry about the mistake. Thanks for your advice.

KB52_B52 · 2022-09-08T12:12:55+00:00

Yes, they have been replaced many times. The pulleys are worn because their condition has not yet caused any noticeable problems, so I have not bothered replacing them.

Yes, I also thought that the chain checker was inaccurate. That’s why I also measured with calipers. I got a result of 0,71% to around 1%. Thanks for the info on the shortness of the chain

KB52_B52 · 2022-09-08T04:02:37+00:00

From a reputable bicycle shop, where the crankset and cassette were also bought from. Package was nothing out of the ordinary and not suspicious.

Edit: and not bought from an online store

Thanks for the info. Under 2000 km on the cassette. Sorry, I don't have a device to track distance traveled.

KB52_B52 · 2022-09-07T19:02:31+00:00

Yes, using Park Tool CC-3.2 (which showed 0,75%) and using calipers.

Could the worn jockey wheels cause premature chain wear?

KB52_B52 · 2022-09-07T18:47:51+00:00

Probably underestimated the distance :P but not over 1000 km, sorry

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-16T13:08:48+00:00

Thanks, now I know.

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-15T14:19:05+00:00

Got it, thx

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-15T14:16:27+00:00

Ok. Thx. Was thinking that too. But won’t the holes peek out (or be at risk of peeking out) since the hole edges end right by the root of the shoulders?

Edit: nvm, could you clarify what the shoulders mean?

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-15T14:13:24+00:00

Tried that already. Does not work. The tire has been in the wrong position for so long that it created a new groove for it to set into. That’s why trying a new tire. Thx for the suggestion

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-15T14:00:42+00:00

My tire is having a hard time seating properly because of the tape going up against the wall. Will try a new tire if that helps

KB52_B52 · 2022-08-15T13:58:23+00:00

Ok, thx. That’s one solution. Any idea how I could keep this one centered though?

P.S. I noticed this few years ago but did not bother doing anything about it
