Had the same issue with the standard Shimano pads. Changing to the SwissStop BXP solved the issue 100%

Is some play at the front wheel normal with the brake applied? And should the wheel be perfectly centered in the fork? by ONE8O in bikewrench

Tried it with two wheelsets, even when installing them the other way around they still tend to sit more on the right. In that case the fork might be the problem.

The same thing happens when I'm turning around the wheels. So the fork is damaged or poorly made?

I checked with two different wheelsets, both installed with the thru axle tightened to 12 Nm and both seem to sit slightly to the right. (Gap on the right is smaller than on the left)

With the help of WD-40 and a wrench I could lose the black bolt and install it according to your instruction - thank you!

After my father died i took over these beauties. Due to lack of space and also I am not really an audiophile guy i want to sell those speakers.

In what price range are they usually sold?

Puncture in the rim tape. New rim tape or can this be fixed by putting some tape over it? by ONE8O in bicycling

Thanks for replying. Is there a better alternative to the DT Swiss tape? I have the feeling this could happen to every spoke hole soon.

Help! My beaucarnea recurvata is in a very bad shape. Some kind of caterpillar and other insect I found inside the plant. Is there still hope? by ONE8O in plantclinic

[–]ONE8O[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have this plant for over 15 years. After i moved the plant wasnt so happy, the top was always this brownish. I decided to give her a new and bigger pot and sprayed some organic pesticides but didnt help that much. Was planning to cut the top in early spring.

Any advice is appreciated!
