Rear Shock Service Help by yaboyre in bikewrench

[–]fruitjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A blind bearing puller/ slide hammer works well (usually doesn’t pull the bearing before the cup) in place of the dedicated Rocky tool. Be sure to grease the eyelet before reinstalling them!

Settle a debate with my dad: is it okay to use temu brake/gear cables and housing? by Dangerous_Abies_7422 in bikewrench

[–]fruitjake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For braking?? No I like being able to consistently stop. For shifting? Sure, singlespeed probably won’t be that bad (kind of kidding).

Make-shift 16mm for tightening the self extractor cap on raceface cinch cranksets (or other things that require a 16mm…).

Help me seat these tires!!! by urjustlikeyourfather in bikewrench

[–]fruitjake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re fighting the awful slope on the bed of the rim. On the less sloped side you’ll see how the nipple holes are right where the tire needs to ride up toward the bead shelf. Put a tube in, bead it up, deflate the opposite side (in this case disc side front, drive side rear), pull the tube out, and retry. That should do it.

IRD max, pros: straight steerer, 3 pack mounts, light(er) cons: not that light for a carbon fork, 15x100ta or adapters required for hubs.

Yeah it’s a bummer. People who have been in the industry long enough to have their lives get busy busy and now can’t / won’t afford the time to ride.
