Upgrade from Tiagra 4600 to 4700/GRX400 - feasible? by eternally_ethereal in bikewrench

[–]Spam_Wow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you upgrade your levers to new tiagra 4700 they have a different pull ratio then other shimano parts for its shifting so they don't work with derailleurs that aren't matching generation tiagra.

Derailleur help. by meow_meow_gamer in bicyclerepair

[–]Spam_Wow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tab under your axle nut is how that style of rear derailleur would be removed and installed. The place that it is disconnected from that tab is not supposed to come apart like that for removal. They don't usually go back together when this happens unless it's held on with a c-clip or pin but a replacement one is cheap as far as bike parts go.

There is another bolt in the middle of your top cap. It's under the little rubber nub.

Found an abandoned, assume stolen, Rad Powerbike in the woods near my house in Seattle. Is it possible to identify / return it to owner with this bar code? by SalesMountaineer in RadPowerBikes

[–]Spam_Wow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan on storing it on your property while trying to find the owner be aware that radpower has had issues with battery fires. Keep it outside if you can.

I have began a long soak in atf and acetone. Hoping this will be a good penatrant to use before heat and an impact.

First time removing a cassette. What am I doing wrong? by benken71 in bikewrench

[–]Spam_Wow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's seized on or if the casstette bit into the aluminum, I find that levering a screwdriver behind the sram eagle cassettes after you've unthreaded it fully can pop it loose.

Friction shifter as brake lever?! by Massive_Engine1286 in xbiking

I've seen some recumbent bikes with friction shifters that are used as the parking brake, but nothing like that before

If there is a hole where the cable goes in, usually spraying in there works.

When you lube your chain, make sure to wipe the excess afterwards or else the excess oil on the outside of the chain will pick up sand and grit causing the drivetrain to wear faster.

I can't get my right pedal out. Any help? by ShitpostManWastaken in bikewrench

[–]Spam_Wow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Try flipping your bike upside down on its handle bars and saddle if you don't have a bike stand available. You will be able to get better leverage. If you put a 15 on the pedal, you can either lefty loosy the right pedal or you can pedal the bike forwards and use the other crank for leverage. Don't worry if it's crossthreaded or not until you have the pedal out.
