QUOTE(mrjgx @ Mar 30 2013, 09:11 PM) Help. I noticed some gaps between between the crank arm and bottom bracket, especially on the left crank arm. Is it normal? I already noticed the gap at the headset head cover but the mechanics told me it's is normal like that as it is fully sealed on the inside. But I just noticed the gaps on the left crank arm today. If bring to dubai confirm masuk pasir! Or is it normal like that? The gaps?   as long as no freeplay, no problem. not sure how the pressfit bb is normally set up. but for normal iso bb, it's normal to have a gap. if no gap at all that means the bearing preload is set too tight and will kill the bearings |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 1 2013, 11:08 AM) Butthead, is it normal for a fork if we can slide it up and down once the bard and stem is removed from the steerer? Sliding up means showing the top headset and sliding down showing the bottom. It didn't happened before with my merida so I'm curious. I don't need a special tool right? Just slide both into place, put the stem and bars on and I'm good to go right? What else need to check?  there should be a compression ring above the top bearing. the compression ring can hold the steerer and all the bearings in place so there should be no freeplay. anyway, when u tighten the top cap screw, it will push the entire headset down. did u remove the stem? QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 1 2013, 11:08 AM) Since no one interested to join me I do some bed repeats instead of hill repeats  i know what u mean. cheeky |

QUOTE(butthead @ Apr 1 2013, 12:50 PM) also to cable tie the crank arms in place, usually to non-drive side chain stay if possible to prevent it from going wild and hitting things in the box... yeah, we don't want it to escalate too quickly |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 1 2013, 12:38 PM) Can you clarify a bit where to put the rubber band? Why the design weird ah? No sealing for the fork join between the headtube and the fork (bottom one)? My merida has it. tak faham |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 1 2013, 02:07 PM) What actually happened is that my fork is sliding down, leaving my top headset sliding up the steerer tube. I just slide everything into place. Question is, is it as simple as that? Then what is the headset tool is all about? yes, it's that simple. the headset tool is for pressfit ones. yours is integrated. |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 3 2013, 02:17 PM) Time to look at some carbon lightweight seatpost. 27.2mm..any recommendation? I prefer one with a bit of setback.. specialized la. how much setback do you want? 25mm? 21mm? 16mm? 2 bolts? single bolt? This post has been edited by miaopurr: Apr 3 2013, 02:23 PM |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 3 2013, 02:27 PM) 16mm only..2 bolts is preferrable. Seems like the lightest one is always without the setback. obviously la. less material, hence lighter. carbon usually 25mm setback. u want 16mm gotta go with thomson la. 21mm deda. 25mm more options |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Apr 3 2013, 03:11 PM) Spoilt. Too many choices. My stem is the sworks sl 100mm, alloy. 16mm ok lah else my fiting all lari banyak. Just want the looks, set back looks nicer if current fit requires u to use 0 setback, won't it it affect ur fit if u use a seatpost with setback, even with 16mm. it makes a difference. mrjgx's logic? btw u can try fizik's cyrano. minimal setback. the prob is, their black is not really black. there's a brownish colour to it http://www.artscyclery.com/Fizik_Cyrano_Se...ge-FZCSP27.htmlThis post has been edited by miaopurr: Apr 3 2013, 03:26 PM |

when it comes to bikefit, every mm counts. for example, the top tube horizontal distance of tarmac size XS and S is 19mm difference. not a lot u think? that's a 1 size up. 16mm, u can consider that 3/4 size up. btw, saddle mounted on a setback seatpost but has to be pushed forward beyond the halfway point of the saddle rail, is FUGLY how about this one? http://www.eastoncycling.com/en-us/road/co.../race/ec90-zeromatte carbon This post has been edited by miaopurr: Apr 3 2013, 04:46 PM |
