QUOTE(fevercrash @ Jul 29 2013, 11:38 AM) tarak champion lar, juz need to train harder to keep up wif the faster guys.. malu kena drop.. haha wats with you buggers nowadays... cycling should never be a competition leh... jus ride at your pace and enjoy your ride lar...if people laugh at your at the end of the ride because you got left behind, this are the people who you should be avoiding... if the group is too fast for you.. find a group that is around your pace.. |

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jul 29 2013, 11:36 AM) didn't cut the steerer. but there's sufficient gap between top of steerer to the top of spacer but you said removed as in taking one spacer out of the entire stack right??? not changing positions of the spacers to adjust the stem height... that should require a bit of shortening of the spacer even though a 5mm spacer is removed away from the stack... the gap usually is different for different bikes as the design of the top cap affects the gap... try not to knock the star spangled nut deeper before you determined if it is the steerer too long or the nut not deep enough... |

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jul 29 2013, 11:45 AM) agreed 110% haha.. "i very slow only"... then they go off sprinting away like mark cavendish...the best groups worth joining, are those that actually cycle at their promised/agreed/advertised pace. too many times already kena. friends invite to join their groups, cakap slow n steady only.... turn out 34~36 cruising. wtf la.... mentality problems... QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jul 29 2013, 11:50 AM) initially i had 3x10mm spacers below the stem, 10mm spacer above stem. as i told you lar.. the indentation on the bottom of the top cap is thick...if you have a flat bottomed top cap... then you might not need to saw the steerer...now, you have to saw a bit and then knock the damn nut further in by a bit...then i dropped the stem such that i had 15mm below, 15mm above. 10mm removed. with this arrangement, i still had about 3mm gap between top of steerer to top of spacer. this caused the play. when i changed the arrangement to 20mm below, 15mm above, no play. talked to a friend, turn out the design of the top cap requires minimum of 5mm gap. not 3mm. you reduced your stack mar at the end of the day...

QUOTE(owen07 @ Jul 29 2013, 12:16 PM) u just pull out hard? i think you have the same problem as mine, i already open the brake but still can do anything, i need to deflate the tyre, hate that .... yes, force it out as gently as you can is what i meant... not like take hammer and knock or something like that...it will come out eventually..QUOTE(owen07 @ Jul 29 2013, 12:17 PM) i am using the old sora groupset. can't do anything already open the caliper. unless you are willing to spend money and buy some new generation calipers that allows for huge wheel clearances... i think manually is the only way to get this sorted out...some newer aero wheels even have problems closing the caliper fully... |

QUOTE(vin_ann @ Jul 30 2013, 09:34 AM) ok.. safety first...it's what u pay what u get. the headlight is for to be seen not to see. a few grams more and wind resistance wont slow you down by 10km/hr to compromise your safety. it's your choice. more budget opt for smaller n powerful lights then.  or buy a big lorry follow you wherever you ride...  comes equipped with own generator  sorry, got MTS (morning troll syndrome)... |

yeah!!! depressing...
From the Pages of Velo: Lance’s Void USA Cycling’s Steve Johnson looks to a future without Armstrong only people who watched those years between 99 and 05 would understand that the changes he brought whether good or bad.... undeniably.. he has done bad things, but who hasn't during those years... on the flip side, he has brought the sport back to glory in his homeland, made life for anti-doping officials harder and also having them work harder to achieve a more level playing field and believe it or not.. possibly even brought us many advancements in cycling...

and i quote him saying QUOTE “I’m well aware my presence is not an easy topic, and so I encourage people if they want to give a high five, great. If you want to shoot me the bird, that’s okay, too.” then he starts calling them a troll... haha This post has been edited by butthead: Jul 30 2013, 11:06 AM |
