You can also get one from Nova Ride (alu), for a decent price.

Reviving an old threads but I’m not sure if no6 is really from farsport
I’ve emailed them to get a quote with the same specs as the 52/58 wheels but told me they don’t have such rims
Does any of you have any info’s about no6 manufacturer ? Or is it a special mold farsport can’t sell beside to no6?

Go ask Zara from ZEN, she will offer you similar specs (or even better) for less than half of the price.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can get replacement rubber rings for the crankbolt?

Thanks  :-*

You’ve ran out of the ones that were provided? Afaik there were 3 in the box.

I guess you can just buy a rubber o-ring in the correct size, should work.

Solved. Apparently using a good usb cable is a bad thing. Do not use a high performing cable because that triggers the BMS to shut down the battery. Using a low voltage cable worked perfectly fine. My apologies to rrskit for the many millions in damages my skepticism caused

I always use shitty USB-C cables that come with many of the shit I’ve ordered from Aliexpress, so I guess I am safe haha.

Have you tried any other wheel in that bike?

Also thought about this before. Already swapped my rear wheel for the old one, aaand the noise was instantly gone  ;D I am 100% sure it’s the freehub

it seems the problem is the in the cassette body bearing, not in the hub body
Probably it's the external bearing

Cannot be, those were replaced recently.

Im no expert on wheels, but I would completely disassemble to the hub, clean it all out and slowly add a bit of grease to the ratchets. I think that maybe you went a bit "over board" there with the grease

Also thought I went a bit too crazy with the grease, so I did clean the whole hub, but the problem is still there. I tried to record the sound on my phone while riding yesterday, have a look. Pls excuse my hairy legs haha. The weird grind sound starts at around 0:05.

I am running out of ideas. My last try will be to check if the sleeve in the freehub isn’t way too loose, but that is literally the last thing I can think of.

Hey guys,

Got a peculiar issue with my freehub, thought you might have an insight on this.

So the thing is, a weird subtle grinding-like sound is occasionally coming out of the freehub. First I thought it’s bearings, but I replaced them, and the unwanted sound is still there. I have no idea what this might be, as it is not a constant thing, but it just ocassionally comes up. I think it is more prevalent when pedalling a bit lighter, it really appears at random as it seems. It’s driving me crazy. One day it just startet and does not want to fuck off.

Could it be the ratchet being too sticky? I’ve added quite a lot of greese inside the hub. Nothing is loose, bearings are still smooth at the back, I am a bit desperate at this point. I am 100% sure it’s the freehub, but just cannot locate the source.

Any ideas are welcomed! Thanks!

With the current sale i could get this for around 260usd with free shipping to europe, at that price how would this be for a first smart trainer blind buy?

Get the Cycplus R200. You can get it for a similar price from some EU Ali store.

This popped up in my feed. A bit pricey.
 
I just found this on AliExpress:  | LEBYCLE Bike Disc Brake Mount Facing Tool For Flat/Post/IS Mount Quick Release andThru Axle Bike Frame Disc Brake Base Repair Tool
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqndFM3

That’s almost as expensive as the ParkTool one.

for a thin long sleeve, I like this SPEXCEL one. I got the purple in L for a tight aero fit (186 cm, 80 kg). The arms are long enough. Could have also gone with the XL.

+1 this jersey, I have both colors, great quality. L (180 cm, 80 kg).

Also can recommend both of these, ideal for spring/early fall.

Recently I pick up these aero 50-34t chainrings because my Shimano chainrings were too outboard causing very minor FD rub. Good shifting and less outboard positioning on the crankset. The teeth were slightly more taller, so I needed to raise my FD by about 1-2mm. Besides that, they're solid.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810064056305.html

Ah yes, the Alugear ripoff. I have the same but from Ryet, which were quite a bit more expensive. But they look amazing and shifting is great. Might give these a go next time.

What else could be causing this noise? ...

Check if the BB sleeve isn’t loose.
