Not riding but while I was coaching rugby. The poor kid went into convulsions. Wasn’t pretty.

Those riders are some serious tough humans and rippers.

No issues yet (fingers crossed) after 25 days of riding. I’m not easy on parts or light (215lbs). 

I have a creak that I’m chasing down and I checked the clamp and all was nice and snug.

I’m using the Granite multi tool: https://www.granite-design.com/stashmultitool

No need to thread your fork, only remove your star nut. Quiet and seems well made.

I’ve been lucky with my gear, tend to wash everything quickly post ride return to home. 

I used to wash my pads every couple of weeks but then I read that D3O shouldn’t be washed more than a certain number of times of it stops working. Anyone else seen this? I can’t find where I read that but it could have been on Race Face’s site as those are the pads I use.

This reminds me of a friend who had his rear triangle not line up properly. He kept going through rear tires with one side being completely worn out compared to the other side. 

When the issue was finally figured out, the shop he purchased it from didn’t do much but another shop went to bat for him. The manufacturer pretty much offered him crash replacement on a “lifetime warranty”. He fought a little but took it as the new frame was an upgrade to his older hole in the downtube “ruler of the world” bike.

Great article. As someone already posted, changing cables and housing. 

Your next article should be about what should be done when you bring a new bike into the family!

I’m not getting anything done with four kids (10 and under) at home plus a puppy!

Hey, I loved those Onza pedals. Never ride when it was cold enough for them to freeze though.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I’ll just go for a clutch style hub and try to be a silent assassin!!!

Thanks for the reply. I have the “older” quiet pawls. They are almost silent when clean and fresh oil and make a small amount of noise when used for a while. I’m not sure I could go back to anything louder as silence is bliss.

What service buletin or where can i find it?

Thanks
