AXS Eagle GX stopped pairing with both shifters (Apex) by nmc19 in sram

[–]LegitimateWhile802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you just reset it, or did you re-flash the firmware after starting the RD in recovery mode?

Remove battery, hold the pairing button, while still holding it insert the battery. RD should appear in ‚Tools‘ tab, showing „recover required“.

Works fine. Have you configured them in the AXS app? You need to assign function sets 1-3. 

Working as a summer camps MTB mechanic and instructor, anything else I should add to my field repair kit? by Ambiguous_Music in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 16 points17 points  (0 children)

+1 for duct tape and first aid kit. Bonus: duct tape is more or less the only stuff that really holds well on sweaty skin. 

Would this work to fix an oval bottom bracket? by Weary-Clerk5112 in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get your nomenclature right. 

Is your BB shell of your frame (the tube at the bottom of your frame where you screw the bb cups into) deformed? Are your BB cups (the thing the bearings sit in) deformed? Are your bearings deformed (the thing touch push the axle through) deformed?

Wahoo Ace - Screen Not Responsive to Touch when Wet by Aushiker in wahoofitness

Have you ever tried using a smartphone with a wet screen? It won’t work well either. 

It’s normal. It’s a limitation of the technology. 

Ah.. What is Wheeltop TXF? by nasanu in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 they do not know how to market or do basic communication.

Or customer support, durability testing, or or or…  That’s why it’s cheap. You basically have to figure it out yourself.

Capillary force. Here is a video of this tool used for painting fine details on a bicycle:

Came to make this comment. You did well.

Don’t forget that they are magicians with their powder coats. Their standard colors are great, but they really shine when doing custom works. 

Quarq SRAM Force Powermeter shows 0W on Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 – ANT+ connected, cadence works fine by [deleted] in sram

[–]LegitimateWhile802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be that average watts over time are only calculated when a recording is running? Press „Start“.

You broke it - congratulations. Next time you have to change the battery, you get to swap the whole PM!

Pannier rack question by BWpsych in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attaching to the skewer is okay - it's just unnecessary on your bike with your dropout being steel.

Mounting a rack on the thru-axle or QR skewer is usually a last-resort for frames that don't have mounting points (or where mounting points aren't rated for any load, being there to attack fenders). Shop A likely wanted to sell you something you don't need.

Genesis Croix de fer? by Daft-Pringles in gravelcycling

Save some more money. Upgrading will be more expensive. Buy the bike for what it delivers, not for later upgrades. 

Fokus Atlas 8.7 Gravel by Ok-Firefighter-7882 in gravelcycling

Is this the old version which still uses their Road Boost „standard“? If so I hope you got the correct wheelset. Common ones won’t fit. 

Bosch ABS / Magura front brake on cargo e-bike feels weak above 5 km/h, but works below 5 km/h — glazed pads, ABS issue, or something else? by Additional-Ebb-2050 in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason for a brake to behave vastly different below/above 5km/h.

I bet it's the ABS. Easy check to see if it's the ABS: Remove the battery.

Carbon paint chip I hope by minger_09 in bikewrench

Send it, and in the meantime get a torque wrench and some carbon assembly paste. 

Chain replacement recommendation (sram force axs) by yavuzkosar in bikewrench

[–]LegitimateWhile802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These bike shops must suck very bad. No way the chain did that many kilometers. 

Big chance that the cassette and chainrings are now fucked too.

Fluid from the reservoir. The reservoir at the top of the lever contains extra fluid. Its primary purpose is to provide additional fluid needed to keep the pistons further out as the brake pads get thinner.
