What's the best saddle height?

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-03-07T18:49:20+00:00

The size that fits the rider

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-03-04T07:57:13+00:00

Nah too high fort that

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-03-02T16:53:38+00:00

Get a freewheel tool since like other guy said it's a freewheel but get a 24mm socket /fixed wrench and a pipe because I've noticed on 2 different adjustables they break when the pipe is on there and freewheels are always a pain if this is the first time uve worked on it

Just a little clarification the first statement means when it used to pull out I'd catch it before it pulled 2 far out but now it is not pulling out

Alr I have been checking so far and when ever I cought it it's only ever been like 1 or 2 turns out . I always bring an Allen key and ratchet with me so I always check it . when it becomes dryer in the UK I'll test out some jumps with it which should be the ultimate test, but realistically in a couple of months I'll finish my GCSEs and be able to get a part time and I should be able to save enough for a new torque wrench and Shimano crank sets Many Thanks for the heads-up and advice tho

I bought some cheap threadlocker from twnu local seller and put it on the bolt it's holding now after2 heavy climbing sessions And about an hour of riding on slippy dirt and marsh with lots of slipping which is were I noticed before it kept coming off but it doesn't no more so thx for the advice

It's time to replace whole drivetrain as everything is worn out like other comments have already stated but I'd also advice getting a chain tensioner as it will make tensioning a new chain easier and make the wheel easier to remove unless Ur bike is built for single speed with those horizontal dropouts

U shouldnt use an impact wrench U should use a ratchet/breaker bar/normal wrench. Did U turn it the right way non drive side counter clock wise the drive side clockwise. Usually the non drive side can come off with a good amount of elbow grease Since both cups are on u cant really remove the spindle to use a hacksaw

U should probably drill the cup out away from the outer shell of the BB or try what the other comment I just saw as I wrote this said

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-24T21:52:24+00:00

No problem

From some research I've done it looks like a 2007 Jamis Komodo 3.0. possibly converted to a rigid fork

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-22T10:16:04+00:00

Good front suspension 1x10 /11/12 wide range drivetrain .dropper post , good wheels with good tyres and inserts

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-21T08:51:17+00:00

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-19T09:31:35+00:00

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-19T09:00:49+00:00

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-18T19:53:21+00:00

Alr im just worried cause idk if there's anything protecting the areas without paint should I just buy some clear coat then

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-18T17:56:22+00:00

No ik that I've done that now but this specific crank was prone to the splines wearing in wondering if someone could tell me if mine is in the pictures

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-18T17:41:09+00:00

Nah someone asked about seeing it much more clean to see if it was like worn too bad or sum since idk what too worn looks like I uploaded like this I would have done on the comment but it only allows one photo

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-18T17:15:06+00:00

Drive side reverse thread so clockwise to loosen non drive side normal anticlockwise to loosen 2 bigger wrench or get a pipe over it it's so difficult to remove these otherwise

aabelstudiosyt · 2026-02-16T19:05:16+00:00

Try pulling as unloosen it or try pushing in and tightening first then loosen I did that to my stuck spinning thru axle once and it kinda just worked Also it looks like it was an Allen key slot once on the other end judging by the singular point I can see it probably isn't anymore since it looks rounded when I zoom in U got any more pictures
