It's nothing fancy. I just used Elmer's rubber cement glue with a brush that I coated around the battery cable. Plus a $2 USD packet of dielectric grease from the auto store that I applied with a toothpick. It just looks like gunk around the cable, I'm not sure there's anything worth looking at.

This is quite literally Magene's warranty policy: https://support.magene.com/hc/en-us/articles/900002358986-Warranty
I got served this bullshit when the integrated chainring on my $500 QED crankset/powermeter went out of true. They sent me a new chainring "out of generosity", but never refunded me. I'm pissed. They damn well know the product is defective because they pulled it from the shelves, but never made me whole.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Deerobust/Goldix wheel build 50/55mm 1319g
« Last post by dsveddy on Today at 02:36:10 PM »Nice wheels and all, but can I ask about the truing stand? Is that an AliExpress model or rather a Western product?
It's sold by RRS Kit. As Tidy said, it's available on Ali. I bought mine on Amazon, it was actually cheaper that way.
As Tidy said, it's not centered at all. The right side support wiggles and puts the wheel about 5mm to the right of center. I haven't been able to fix it, but I can deal with it during dishing by repeatedly flipping the wheel around. Funny enough, TOOT engineering seems to build their wheels on the same stand. If it's good enough for those guys it definitely gets my job done.
The nice thing is that it comes with precision dials to measure trueness, so you can easily find the point of greatest deflection away from your reference point. I try to true down to less than 0.5mm deviation in any direction, I think I'm consistently in the neighborhood of 0.3mm.

Good luck with your degree!
Thank you! I graduated this weekend, so off to new adventures, and hopefully a little more time to ride (and hopefully to lose some weight too

« Last post by Markus2209 on Today at 02:16:01 PM »Hello everyone,
I wanted to assemble my new M06 frame today and noticed that the chain line wasn't right or that the crank was touching the chainstay. I drive an xx1 34t and a power meter from Stages. In my opinion I need to increase the chainline from 52 to 55. That means I can throw my power meter in the trash and have to buy a completely new crankset. Is that correct or is there another option?

« Last post by jonathanf2 on Today at 01:07:17 PM »I only applied the rubber cement on the outside, but it dries and solidifies around the plug. After that I apply the dielectric grease as a secondary layer. I didn't like the idea of just using dielectric grease by itself since it's easy to take off. I figure the rubber cement should ward off most moisture, while the dielectric grease would be like frosting on a cake.
I got the idea because I had a leaky water sprinkler at my house and I sealed it with rubber cement. It actually did a very good job fixing the problem.
