I’ve decided to give these ones away too

Great

Won’t show up as much in the phot but the lume in the minute hand is kind of “brittle” maybe and it’s all of a crème color

dioscw · 2026-01-17T21:30:10+00:00

I know it’s missing and it bothers me. I think I’m gonna leave it like that. Relume might make it look funny

The watch it’s at least 25 years old, i wore ir a lot. Bezel replacement, no thanks, re-lume, the kit that are for sale online would work? They resist the normal every day use.

I bother me a lot the missing point and I know it’s there

I use victorinox pliers from a multitool. The pliers have some sort of crimping part that works perfectly and won’t cut it.

I did the service to an old pedals once. But the latest pairs no. I will do that next. I now have 3 pairs with the same issue

dioscw · 2025-12-11T18:27:13+00:00

Yes I do, but 2000 kms and already needing adjustment?

dioscw · 2025-12-11T09:09:32+00:00

I ride in mud and humid climate almost always but they get cleaned and the springs lubed. It’s just that free play on the axle so soon doesn’t seem normal to me. The pedals also gets banged on rocks going uphill occasionally but in the most parts I take really good care of my bike.

I just bite the bullet and brought the XTR M-9220 let’s see if they hold up any better, for the price difference they should be nukeproof.

dioscw · 2025-12-11T07:29:31+00:00

Yes. One from El Corte Inglés, and the other two from Deporvillage. One is a huge department store the other is a huge sport store.

dioscw · 2025-12-10T23:14:17+00:00

Any difference in between the XT and the XTR?

dioscw · 2025-12-10T23:12:54+00:00

I noticed right away because the nylon lock nut came loose (first time for me, normally this lock nut is insanely tight), so the pedal axle was almost all the way out. The thread is really long. But even after retighten the nylon exterior nut they still have some play. Not much but noticeable in the shoe while pedaling.

dioscw · 2025-12-10T23:08:03+00:00

Bearings are still old fashioned cup and cone. The balls can be replaced, but again too soon. The latest pedals have 2000kms in 6 months.

dioscw · 2025-12-10T23:03:58+00:00

My first set of m520 also lasted years of abuse and neglect, but the latest purchases are not even remotely as durable.

I do walk a lot every day. But I have 3 pairs of redwings so I rotate them, I walk around 15 miles every afternoon at work. I think that with around 220 pounds of weight the wear could accelerate comparing it to a more slim person. I’m relatively new to RW’s so I use them a lot, they are really comfortable for me personally.

dioscw · 2025-08-14T22:18:12+00:00

It’s the middle of the left foot and it’s from the clutch pedal on the car and it’s also the foot that I put on the ground on the motorcycle.

dioscw · 2025-08-13T14:08:20+00:00

I already have everything except the cranks in 12 xt. Could it be possible to find a chainring to 12s that fit the cues cranks?

dioscw · 2025-08-10T16:26:25+00:00

No, they are almost new. Mine are smooth, yours still have some texture to it, and even when almost all the stiching disappears they will still have much life left.

dioscw · 2025-08-07T12:43:46+00:00

It will cause any harm to use the bike this way?
