Re: Disconnecting hydraulic hoses
You MAY be able to reuse barbs and olive if you can get it out and if you haven't tightened the olive too much but it's heavily recommended to cut and put new barb/olive as you likely lose some seal. This is why you are often advised to leave as much hose as possible in the bike. If crimped properly the olive shouldn't come off anyway You can pick up a pack of olive/barb/hose kits for 4 bucks on ali, or for 30 at your LBS who will urge you not to get them from aliexpress as they might explode. The olives are universal afaik but the barbs and hoses are not, i think the standard Ltwoo uses is BH59, same as shimano road You seal the open hoses with a toothpick And yes both ends of the hose have a barb and an olive May 14, 2024, 03:35:48 AM |

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
Read somewhere else that SRAM lost their lawsuit against wheeltop and had some patents invalidated in china, meaning all chinese groupsets can be fully wireless from now on Not sure how trustworthy that is until a local or insider confirms but this seems huge May 22, 2024, 02:13:29 AM |

Re: Transferring Components from a Damaged Giant Defy 1 to a New Frame
Of course it's possible if the groupset itself is not damaged. With rare high end exceptions where mechanical groupsets can't be installed on some frames, it should be just a straight swap with the exception of new brake hoses and fittings. A few other compatibilities to look out for would be clearance for tire, chainrings, disc rotors but everything is probably fine By the way the UCI certification is completely worthless and nothing but marketing if you don't race in UCI events. Not indicative of quality in any way May 22, 2024, 04:34:08 AM |

Re: WheelTop EDS TX Full Wireless Groupset (Chinese SRAM)
Did anyone notice Wheeltop is now advertising 3-14 speed cassette compatibility? I didn't even know 14 speed cassettes existed? Lol 14 speed is pretty outdated now, if you aren't riding 1*15 you're shooting yourself in the foot https://www.instagram.com/themonstergravel/ May 27, 2024, 02:00:42 AM |
