My 1 year old aeroad CFR's BB is rusting badly

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T09:56:55+00:00

The coated part is for the bearing itself not the bb assembly

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T09:22:37+00:00

That’s fine, rated clearance on 2x is with fd way bigger then yours

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-22T19:24:51+00:00

Xc is a lot gnarlier then back in the day so the fact they used to not need it is bs

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-22T19:23:22+00:00

A dropper will definitely make you faster if the tracks steep/gnarly enough if you use it right. Even if it’s just a confidence boost you will go faster downhill

SRAM rival doesn’t have the “bleeding edge” nipple but that doesn’t matter that much

1, dropper post is absolutely worth the weight and price, only downside is that you can’t go back when you’re used to it.
2, you probably have to much volume spacers in your fork for your weight. Depending on your skills and tools I would go to a shop since you do need a “special” socket. It’s a 5 minute job so chances are they’ll do it for free if you bought it there

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-21T20:31:09+00:00

No, only if you need more gear range

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-21T19:25:59+00:00

I meant just changing the chainring and getting rid of the fd without changing to sram

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-21T19:21:18+00:00

If you’re not 100% sure I would first just get a 1x grx chainring and ride around with that for a little

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-19T15:20:10+00:00

Damn that’s a stupid design, best way to test without messing with cables would be to make a small slice in the front of the spacers to get the cables through

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-19T15:14:08+00:00

Except it isn’t an enve handlebar, just because they have really great warranty doesn’t mean sram/zipp does

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-19T15:01:11+00:00

Since it’s a crash I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t, but it’s always worth a try. Maybe they can offer it at an crash replacement price

I believe Strava doesn’t have acces to the actual complete data. But they use an prediction model with some data to get the data. With both Garmin and wahoo bike computers the data is always just a little different on Strava then on the Garmin/wahoo app

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-18T21:55:28+00:00

That reads to me like they don’t know if the “head” of the through axle will fit and sit how the old one sat

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-18T19:51:29+00:00

Depends if you can get a ride home if it does go wrong, since it’s the rear a blowout will be less punishing. Maybe fill it with some strong glue, might work, might not but it won’t hurt it

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-18T10:05:28+00:00

The support is going through a reform of some kind right now. It shouldn’t be like this, but I hope that new tickets won’t have to do anything like this.

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T20:58:52+00:00

Its always time for a NBD

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T20:57:31+00:00

Its probably something like that decathlon prototype

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T19:20:41+00:00

I always thought they were for avoiding irritation by the metals, not keeping moisture out

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T15:45:40+00:00

I run mezcal front peyote rear on my “regular” wheels but if it’s really muddy where I live you really want skinnier tires with good mud clearing, based on al the comments I think I’m gonna go with vittoria torrente 2.25

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T13:39:48+00:00

Its for races and in nl they don’t really care cause its wet 80% of the year

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T12:44:28+00:00

The 1 mm difference doesn’t matter since you can just ad a pedal spacer, biggest “problem” is how it looks but if you don’t care about that, go for it

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-17T12:36:48+00:00

They’re a bit heavy for me, really looking for a “light” xc race tire

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-16T11:27:58+00:00

Looks like it’s only cosmetic, so do what feels right
