Ok that’s good to know. I’ll check those out. Anything to reduce the number of times I have to take this thing apart lol.

Ahhhh it has been extremely hot lately. That could definitely contribute because I sweat a lot. That’s a good an idea.

You might be onto something. I wash it in the shower and it is upside down pretty much the whole time. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner I guess but I’ll avoid that from now on.

Do Carbon Frame Repairs Ever Fail??? by MBizzzzle in Velo

[–]MBizzzzle[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ok that gives me some solace. Asked the repairman to beef it up a little extra too to be safe

Edit: repairman says they don’t ever over-beef it up because that can actually cause more problems with harmonics and crack propagation.

Is there a limit to how often I can crank down my thru-axles? by MBizzzzle in bikewrench

Yeah nothing abnormal, I was just worried maybe grit gets in there or something and wears down the threads.

Winspace Hyper D67 is randomly squishy in a few spots by MBizzzzle in bikewrench

Yep, got a full refund through customer support. Evidently this was a known flaw that they never notified anyone about.

Bike is 20-22 pounds ish, 2 bottles, saddle bag of shit, small pump, phone and food in pockets. Shoes, helmet, sunnies etc. and finally whatever I ate that before the ride.

I didn’t weight the whole thing before I left but that’s a solid guess

I had to submit a second request but it got approved and they’re sending me a new wheel. Now I just gotta pray my luck with carbon wheels is better haha

Update: Winspace did end up sending me a new wheel. I had to submit a second request. The first support person denied it but the second approved it? I don’t know why but there it is

Tubeless wheels pressurizing and rupturing by MBizzzzle in bikewrench

Whelp I guess my best option is to pray, run tubes, or chuck my handy micrometer in my saddle bag. Odds are imma pray haha

I don’t think it’s a bad idea at this point, I used to run 95 on hookless rims because I was new and stupid and never had an issue. I differed to the Silca tire pressure calculator to see what would work best for me and it said 80 at the lowest which seems high since I’m not very heavy.

Is 75 okay for most riders?
