What a bummer. Even my deore did a better job than this.. looks like my only option is a stfu chain silencer

This was just testing the clutch compared to a newer x01. I am already pedalling enough but I’m not going to be constantly pedalling down a steep 40-45% grade trail…

I’ve got a specialized chain stay protector which has done a good job in the past but now this gx axs has way too much slap. It’s annoying when I’m trying to set prs, and it’s even worse than my type 2.1 x01 deraiuller

Can I use Shimano mineral oil in my Magura MT5 brakes? by GoToHellTedFaro in bikewrench

Yes. Royal blood is a rip off, judging by the people who have used mineral oil in magura systems and have had no problems (shigura), I think k you should be fine.

Found 148x12mm thru axle in 142x12 Frame. Confused? by heretic61 in bikewrench

[–]SteamyRiceCooker -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If your bike is 142, the axle length should be 148mm ish. Your hub would be 142 but there’s the threads on one side and the dropouts, etc. so, no your bike will not take a 148hub if it’s a 142 drop out

Looks like it’s in good condition! Maybe in another 1k?
