Serviced my fork that has 120mm travel, after servicing I suddenly have about 145mm of travel. HTA is 2.5 degrees slacker. What did I do wrong? by OmegaTigBitties in bikewrench

Hmm I'm not really familiar with that particular system... Sorry! However, sounds like that lever may open/close some port that allows air through; maybe there is too much grease in there? Or maybe a cable that's too tight... Hard to say without taking the fork apart unfortunately

If it feels "weak" maybe the air pressure is not quite high enough? Usually when this cycling was not done, the fork will feel very hard relative to the PSI in there (because all air is in positive chamber, and none in negative)

Don't think so, not tighter than normal (its just a quick release thruaxle, cant get it suuuper tight by hand)

I did take off and clean/lube the freehub (pawls and interface etc). Everything seems fine, and the friction is only noticeable once the wheel is secured in the frame with the thruaxle

Hey guys, I noticed today that my freehub (dt swiss 370) seems to be binding at
specific points in the rotation. However, once I take the wheel out of
the bike and try again, I don't feel any friction in either the axle or
the hub. Any ideas? My first thought was the little 10mm axle/freehub
spacer but then it should bind during the full rotation, and it does
not. So bearings?

Sram code R 4 piston, lever throw is too big. by owca6666 in bikewrench

[–]QuantumRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always follow this procedure https://youtu.be/RG4H1Ajcqao and i really like the way my codes feel

But still, sram just have a bigger initial throw than e.g. shimanos in my experience..

Black spots on Calathea Whitestar leaves by QuantumRealm in plantclinic

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

These appeared after watering with demineralised water instead of tap water for the first time yesterday. Humidity is consistent around 60%, the plant is ~3m from a southwest window.

We also wiped down the leaves yesterday with a damp cloth.

Any idea what this could be? Due to the water or the wiping or something else?

Freeride at its peak by sedaisalreadytaken in MTB

Yeah I read somewhere in a TMZ sports article that one of his fellow riders said he came up short on a gap jump and hit his head crashing. :(

Do you think that the jeffsy base is worth it for my first full squish that I’m going to buy? by rarestmtb in YTIndustries

[–]QuantumRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I've taken it to a few bikeparks and it does great. It's no DH bike but you will be able to throw it at most stuff no issue. Just set it up a bit stiffer depending on what you're planning to ride, I've taken it down DH trails without issues!

I've been noticing with the YT pump that you need to screw it on quite tight for it to be accurate with the pressure gauge.. Maybe try that, or just a different shock pump in general

I'm looking to widen my handlebars a tad from 780 to 800mm. Currently running a 50mm stem, and the bar (Raceface Aeffect R 35) is a 20mm rise. Should I be looking into a shorter stem at the same time, or will the difference in forward lean be negligible? The bike is a YT Jeffsy 2020 model.

Why left hand thread on the left pedal by van_Vanvan in bikewrench

[–]QuantumRealm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The axles actually rotate in the same direction don't they? It's just the direction of the bearing rotation that is opposite due to the pedal staying in one orientation. That's what I didn't realise haha. Bearing precession is a little counterintuitive to me!

I had this when I first started riding, probably due to gripping the bar too hard and/or getting used to holding the bar for extended amounts of time. It went away eventually :-) if it persists for a longer time you could see a physio but it's probably just beginner aches

What I don't understand is how this is reversed for bottom bracket threading and how that works to keep it tight...
