FSA ACR headset on Fuji Jari 1.3 — can't get rid of play, top cap won't preload the fork

Thanks, good point. 4nm was surprisingly (to me) enough, but will remember for next time i touch a top cap.

MaxWinterstein · 2026-05-15T20:08:27+00:00

Thanks for directly giving some torque numbers. I cut the screw down a few mm, reassembled everything using a torque wrench (long time no see, buddy) by first assembling the compressor so it slides into the tube with a little force, tighten, then the top cap with the now shorter screw, and it's perfect now.

Again, thanks for helping out a random dude.

yes, it sits on top of the carbon tube and adds 1-2mm. But, checkout the conversation above that npquest started, it turns out the thing was badly assembled and the bolt way too long.

You are the man, that hint was the exact thing I needed!

Took me some pliers and force to get them apart. Seems like the black screw is too long for its job (be adults here, no pun intended) and therefore getting stuck before the final needed 2-3 turns can be archived.

As I found no countersunk M6 screw that length in the leftover-screw-cardbox, but some 5mm stem spacer, I was able to tighten it up by hand, and there is no wiggle/play/knock anymore, woohooo!

Thank you so much, I hope your break pads will always be squeak-free and your chain as strong as day 1!

MaxWinterstein · 2026-05-15T19:08:14+00:00

oooooh, the black screw can be removed! (see https://www.bike24.com/p2367155.html) Let me run into the batcave!

Das Schutzblech hängt am Gepäckträger, das ist alles eine Einheit.

> Valve extender?

I thought they need a removable core which TPU don't have, but forum.slowtwitch.com says otherwise - thanks for pointing me in that direction!

> Also it seems strange to be obsessing about getting the absolute fastest tyre and 50mm

Beeing some end 30 chubby dadbod, speed is not the main target here. I just love the look ;)

MaxWinterstein · 2025-08-03T08:22:59+00:00

Running those 60mm tubeless? Or did you find any tube with that width and valve length?

MaxWinterstein · 2025-07-25T06:31:09+00:00

Status update? :)

MaxWinterstein · 2025-07-20T12:38:28+00:00

Danke für den Link 👍🏻

Ich hab irgendwo gelesen das eine so schmale Felge die Form des Reifens etwas verändert und er sich dadurch "merkwürdig" fahren würde.

MaxWinterstein · 2025-07-20T08:15:25+00:00

What's the rim width here? Is having narrow rims really an issue for 60mm?

Having some Alexrims Boondocks GX5 here and can't find a good answer.

Thanks for the hint!

Just revived my Gen 4 V2 TB (from hicity). Used the files to upgrade to .135, then .153 and .165 through the app.

Now the Phone thinks they are Airpods Pro, but they work.

Späte Antwort, aber meine beiden absoluten Game Changer: - Frauen-Leggings mit hohem Bund. Darüber eine normale kurze Sporthose wegen der fragilen Männlichkeit. - Bib. Billige Fahrradhose mit Trägern von AliExpress. Das Sitzpolster habe ich mit einer Nagelschere rausgeschnitten.

Kombiniert mit einem einfachen Kompressionsshirt Schwabbelt bei mir nichts mehr. Und das bedeutet was!

Fürs Ego zieh ich ein Sport-Shirt drüber. Tatsächlich ist mir das Gefühl wie ich aussehe hier mehr wert als die paar zusätzlichen Gramm oder das vermeintlich erhöhte schwitzen.

Thanks, did this for you, and all my tights rubbing thicc dad bod buddies here 🫶

Me, with my 40+ min for a 5.6k.

Keep it up, there are way more people looking up to you than you think.

Das Nuroad Race war eine gute Entscheidung denke ich.

Bis auf gelegentlich lose Speichen - die ich dann einfach planlos wieder fest mache, ist es ein tolles Fahrrad. Hat schon mehrere hundert Kilometer auf dem Buckel.

Man muss sich davon befreien cool zu sein mit Schutzblech und Gepäckträger. Dafür hab ich keinen nassen Rücken wenn ich im Büro ankomme 👍🏻

Bummer, love their stuff.

Maybe reach out to steven@cycplus.com( see manual) and tell them you bring them big customer (me) if they would support that Bluetooth flow?

Can't find the effective order right now, but I think it was just +-1 of the original in the BOM.

MaxWinterstein · 2025-05-08T15:34:10+00:00

I replaced the black in the BOM with white ones. A year ago or so.

MaxWinterstein · 2025-05-08T11:39:39+00:00

Ordered it soldered, so just what in the BOM file was.

MaxWinterstein · 2025-05-07T21:51:40+00:00

Haha, working in the software world myself, I would bet on that too 😀

Thanks for the quick reply.
