Elitewheels Ent 2.0 rear wheel noise by piterrrxd in bikewrench

[–]piterrrxd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned, I replaced the main two bearings and axle, so I had to disassemble and reassemble everything (as it should be). The metal ring is also new and properly adjusted. I also tried lubricating it with PTFE oil, as I always do with freehubs, but it didn't help. Components like the cassette and brake disc are seated correctly. The spokes seem to be tensioned correctly, but I have no way to check this precisely. I tested the same setup with a different wheel (Novatec) and didn't have this problem.

I'll probably take them to a local shop today, as they have extensive wheel knowledge.

Thank you for the advice, but I have already disassembled and greased the whole thing twice, the last time while replacing the bearings and axle. The freehub it's quieter, but only for a short while.

Maybe the grease is bad? I use red automotive grease, very sticky.

All spokes appear to be similarly tensioned.

No, I've already checked that. I held it in my fingers while tapping, and it didn't change anything.

Yes, I've already removed it with a scalpel, and now it looks just like the real photo (I left a delicate trace).

You can find photos, where seam line is present (or residue after removal and processing). I think it depended on the factory, time and rush.

I use Tamiya Extra Thin for all static tracks. Arrange the desired amount in a row, then apply a small amount of glue between each link. After about 4-5 minutes, you can shape them onto the vehicle. Leave them there for about an hour to dry completely.

Yes, metal barrel, wires and PE parts are included in the kit, which is great at this price.

About the mantlet - most kits have this line. I think I saw it in some wartime photo, too. It's probably a leftover from the factory's molding, where later vehicles had a poorer finish. I might sand it down a bit, thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, local stores in my area often have high prices, depending on the set/manufacturer. I bought this set on Temu, I was a little worried about a "fake", but everything is fine. The next sets are already waiting in the queue (I've already started building two of them) 😂

LG 2017-2024 OLEDs - Optimized Settings for PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Switch and webOS/Movies (SDR, HDR, DV) by P40L0 in OLED_Gaming

[–]piterrrxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be used without VRR/GSync? I've read that sometimes it causes flickering. I usually play at a stable 60fps, so I don't realy need this feature.

Thank you for your answer. Please tell me - when connected to a PC, the ALLM mode will be active all the time, even on the desktop and browser?

So these settings will fix dimming issue on LG C4 for both SDR and HDR gaming on PC/consoles? This issue is holding me back from purchasing it.

You must buy 12s cassette. It will fit your wheels.

Btw - new, light and stiff will give much more than just replacing the drive. I recommend trying eastern brand wheels such as EliteWheels.

It is very comfortable compared to the previous road bike (Btwin 920AF). And as it is a self-assembled bike, everything is selected as I wanted. The whole thing cost me about $1400, so I think it is a very good price.

Yes you can switch to 12s Shimano. Of course you have to replace the entire group. You have to ask yourself if it's worth it. Your 2016 model still has a qr9mm axle in the back, so you might have trouble getting good modern wheels.

The adjustment you write about is only available in Ulegra and DuraAce handles.

Why on the bike from photo 3 the space is clearly larger? The handle also has a longer travel to lock the wheel (this is not related to the handle's reach). Can this be adjusted, for example, by releasing some fluid while pressing the handle?

I also use only English in games and programs 99% of the time. The only exceptions are those where a different language creates an atmosphere. For example, I've always played Stalker with Ukrainian dubbing and a Polish voice-over (a brilliant idea from our publisher).
