Component Deals & Selection / Long term experience with RD13 hubs?
« Last post by AlexxRR on Today at 02:05:45 AM »
Hello everyone,

I´d like to know how these hubs can be expected to last, even in wet conditions, what is the delivery status (do they need some more grease anywhere?) and how high would be the effort to replace the bearings.
The alternative I have would be the DT Swiss 350 hubs.

Thanks a lot in advance

So who has one of these? Is there a better, more active page for this model? I'm really curious to see how these are in the real world.

There are reviews on the seller’s website, but I’m not sure how informative they are

The thing is that when I try to shift up(while pedaling) the chain gets pinched and it blocks the movement of the pedals.

If the chain doesn't shift up to the big ring but gets stuck then it's likely the high limit screw is too restrictive and the derailleur should be allowed to swing out more. If that still doesn't fix it then I don't know... it's common to have to tweak the front shifting, but for it to not shift at all is very unusual, especially with shimano chainrings which usually shift very well.

Welcome to the fun of front derailleur adjustment  :D

Sounds like you may need to make some adjustments to get the FD further out in the big gear. Probably worth checking that you got your crankset installed and aligned properly too.

The derailleur, shifter, grips and brakes are here and installed. It was a bit tricky to route the hoses through the frame and handlebar, but I really love the result ;D.

Answering my self here., I got it right on the second attempt/order of a directmount hanger, so this is a buying tip for those of you with compatible RD:s and an interest going the directmount route.

I orderd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005946829585.html?gps-id=pcStoreJustForYou&scm=1007.23125.137358.0&scm_id=1007.23125.137358.0&scm-url=1007.23125.137358.0&pvid=4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629&_t=gps-id:pcStoreJustForYou,scm-url:1007.23125.137358.0,pvid:4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238110%231995&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21472.80%2189.80%21%21%2144.49%218.45%21%402101e58b17085265557644453e9815%2112000034975814437%21rec%21SE%21173424834%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.smartJustForYou_2004123779662.1005005946829585

You'll probably have to copy the link text and paste into your browser to get to the product, this bord does things with pasted links.

 How did that hangar work out ? I am in need of one and was wondering .

  • Those are trim positions to prevent chain rub on the front derailleur when in crosschained gear combos. See https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=CR8jyNgoS0U for a good little visualization (remove the space in the URL - youtube links are really weird on this forum.)
  • The chain getting stuck between the front derailleur and the chainring is how shifts happen - the chain is forced into the big chainring which picks it up and deposits it onto the teeth. Of course, this only happens when pedaling - nothing will happen if the crank isn't rotating.

Hi - looking at the 1306 from carbonda, I was wondering if there is a better option?
Maybe you can throw in a few links or pics?
However, a few "musts":
1) has to be in XL og long legs (inseem is 94cm..)
2) BSA BB
3) STA around 75-76
4) Reach about 475-500ish
5) Ikons 2,35 or Aspens 2,4wt must fit

Cheers :-)

The new Ican Gaero 2024 seems like it may be worth a look

Hi, I'm currently building a new bike with this groupset and I have two questions.
  • The front derailleur seems to have 4 speeds instead of 2(I'm new to bikes so please let me know if I'm just stupid and this is normal) - i.e. it clicks 3 times when shifting up and 3 times when shifting down and I'm not sure if I did something wrong with the setup. Shouldn't it be just 1 click down and 1 click up?
  • When I try to shift front derailleur to the big chainring, the chain get's stuck in between derailleur cage and chainring - see the pictures in attachment(not sure if it's clearly visible). I haven't lube the chain yet - can that cause it or something else is wrong?
