29er / RockShox Sid wc 2018 charger damper 29
« on: August 09, 2019, 12:55:15 PM »
Hi, anyone running Sid with charger damper, does your lockout fully lock the fork out or do you get sag with weight on the bars, just had my 2017 sid wc replaced under warranty by Sramtech UK with 2018 Sid wc with Debonair, if I ride in lockout on tarmac its sagging 30 - 35% fully locked out!!! 65psi in fork (I'm only 66kg) still drops regardless of low speed compression dialled in or not... Any feed back appreciated..
Thanks
Richard

29er / 062 seat tube
« on: May 12, 2018, 03:18:17 AM »
Looks like I may have a potential fatal defect after my seatpost started creaking, wiped out the carbon paste and noticed the resin is breaking away. The yellow tape has been there since purchase so I assume its from manufacturing???? Its an S-Works Pave seatpost with original WW clamp supplied tightened to 4nm. Awaiting a reply from Candy at WorksWell

29er / WORKSWELL WCB-M-062 Replacement rear thru axel
« on: May 03, 2017, 11:57:12 AM »
Just picked up a great replacement for the stock 062 quick-release rear axel and one for my RockShox REBA

Carbon-Ti's X-LOCK 142X12 Shimano Super-light Al7075 rear axle with E-Thru Shimano standard. Excellent stiffness, variable thinckness axle, 5 mm hex key for a fast and safe closing (wrench not provided). Available in many anodized colours. Thread pitch: 1.5 mm. Made in Italy. Axle length from the base of the head: 169,5 mm (minus 1,5 mm of flat washer) 34g (workwell 87g)

Unfortunately I had to have it in polished silver as sold out of black, but on the plus side £35 instead of Carbon Ti's website price of £85!!! 15mm front for my RockShox Reba was only £29.99 and they had it in black. Retailer was bromleybike.co.uk near London.

29er / 120mm travel fork on a 90mm carbon 29er frame
« on: December 28, 2016, 04:27:36 PM »
Hi,  I would really appreciate your help and advice please guys.

Has anyone put a 120mm fork on a China carbon hardtail with head angle geometry designed for 90mm fork. I would ideally like to use my existing  Reba RTL.

Thanks in advanced

Richard
