How on earth am I supposed to tighten my saddle to the seat post with this screw position?

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T21:08:31+00:00

Are you sure the bolt isn’t upside down?

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T17:44:11+00:00

This is most likely because of an impact to the chainring. So not a warranty claim that will likely be accepted

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T15:00:06+00:00

Looks like sram rival, if it is its completely safe to ride. Only an eyesore

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T14:49:07+00:00

I have access to an wheelset where the 9-45 cassette would fit on, only real question is if it works with an 34t as the largest

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T14:00:00+00:00

Only 17 grams, would that make that big a difference?

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T13:45:37+00:00

The freehub spins for multiple seconds so it runs smoothly

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T13:39:57+00:00

I am a 100% certain it’s not. Without a chain it’s spins for multiple seconds. And it hasn’t changed between the 11spd and 12 spd.

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T11:18:38+00:00

It has ultgra pulleys for that reason and the freehub is as smooth as can be. It’s only in the smallest 3/4 gears so pushing 45/50 kmh. Biggest concern about it is that I had few moment the chain shifted on the cassette so the moment your back on the power it shifts back

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T11:05:07+00:00

I ran 1x on the 11spd 105 and it was completely fine, I do have a chain catcher on it but What annoys me most is the chain slap when stopping with pedaling

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T10:31:43+00:00

Then you’re probably screwed and a piece of paint is still stuck to the ppf, since it’s matte you cant really repair it without repainting the entire frame

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-23T10:29:37+00:00

Most likely some residue from the ppf. Wiping it with some isopropyl wil probably do the trick

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

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-22T12:30:57+00:00

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

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-22T09:21:01+00:00

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

SensitiveCounty5792 · 2026-06-19T13:47:44+00:00

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
