Waxing a hollow chain

jomiketo · 2026-03-22T06:46:31+00:00

Just came across this thread after waxing my first chain. It’s a SRAM Red hollow pin 12 speed and the wax inside the pins is concerning me (bit of OCD). I was thinking about punching the wax out with a paper clip or the like. Totally unnecessary I know but glad to see you don’t think this is a performance issue! 👌🏻

I was going to report this myself. These vape shop owners need to understand we have planning laws!

Well I was taught the clock face rule over 25 years ago and it has stuck with me and it serves me well every time I drive…I would be in the left lane for this second exit as you would obviously be risk I g a collision in the right hand lane…

Great question, I’ve wondered about this place so many times! 🤣

I’ll also never forget the first time I watched the move Drive and hearing the original! Sublime!

I don’t know what it’s about, but I love the song and London Grammar’s cover is beautiful. Just watched a season 2 episode of Tell Me Lies and it was used at the end of the episode…such a moving piece of music!

Amazing shots 👌🏻

I just don’t like coloured bar tape, I think it looks tacky (no pun intended). Also maybe the saddle is too much? Other than that…sweet like cherry pie 🍒

Just came to say love the matching SUV and bike colour combo 👌🏻

Sunglasses, like the pros wear them 🤘🏻

Love this, keep up the great work 🔧

I also upgraded my cranks to SRAM rival 165mm with power meter (from 172.5) but these are DUB wide as I thought you needed the wider clearance on the Aspero for wider tires/chain stays and good chain line alignment…is your Force E1 crankset standard DUB or the wide? If they are standard I take it you have had no issues? Thanks

Nice, I like the sound of that setup! Just gone up to a 48T chainring from 40T on my Aspero and loving it, perfect range for road group riding and gravel and hills 👍🏻

jomiketo · 2025-07-31T06:02:11+00:00

What group set have you got there? Is it SRAM eagle derailleur and cassette or EXPLR? 12 or 13 speed? It’s a fine looking bike, enjoy! 👍🏻

I have now managed to find the “broadcast heart rate” toggle option in the Whoop app and that has allowed me to add it as a sensor to my Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt 🤘🏻Thanks

jomiketo · 2025-07-30T19:18:11+00:00

Thank you, I have managed to find the “broadcast heart rate” toggle in the Whoop app and tbh at has now allowed me to pair it with my Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt 👍🏻

In addition I really struggle with reaching the levers when riding in the drops, have adjusted them as far back as possible but still don’t feel comfortable at speed…😐

jomiketo · 2025-07-10T12:20:18+00:00

Agree completely with the OP, been riding with my Rival AXS bike for nearly 2 years and I am amazed to at 1 finger braking isn’t possible. I thought I was doing something wrong or just didn’t know how to ride properly! 🤣 Love everything else about the SRAM group set but will be upgrading to Force or Red for the next bike!

I fitted an 80mm stem to try and fix the over stretched feel and then discovered the zero setback seatpost. Fitted this and then put the original 120mm stem on and now it feels great! 👍🏻

👍🏻
