I picked up this tool from a random dump bin at a surplus store for less than a dollar simply because of the Park Tool branding but have no idea what’s it’s from or functional purpose is. Anybody know if it’s off something or what is used for?
I am servicing my bike wheel hubs and noticed there are some gaps in between the bearings. I don't know if I lost some bearings in the process of cleaning or not. Here are two pictures of my front wheel hub. You can see there is a space where two more bearings could fit on both sides. Any insight will be appreciated!
Just got the chain replaced by a shop (I was out of spares) and the chain now skips in some of the gears when I'm on the middle chainring. I wasn't having this problem with the chain before.
Everything I read tells me that specifically means the old chain wore down the cogs, and now the new chain won't work. But, I just didn't think my gears were that worn, (changed to this shimano cassette in 2021).
The shop measured the chain and they said it was just at the point (0.75) that they recommend changing. But now I've got the issue and I'm taking it back in.
Just wondering if I'm going to have to budget for a new rear cassette when I do.
Thanks!
Hey People! Anyone had a similar problem? Shimano cues crankset, just installed, first ride - 30km in i noticed play, upon inspection the whole crank thread gone and pedal in my hand.
Please if possible spare me the cross threading story - pedal went in smoothly by hand, with some antisieze and tightened at the end with wrench.
I got this vintage bike for free and want to make it useable again, It definitely needs a new chain as the old one is basically non working, also it needs new wheels so what are some good recommendations that are not to expensive to put on this bike, also is there any other things I should change on it.
Hello everyone, I'm looking into buying a used canyon stoic and i noticed that there seems to be a missing part on the inside of the rim, between the 2 spokes. Would that be an issue?
Sorry for the basic question as I'm a beginner!
Hi guys, I am currently using Sora Drivetrain with KMC 9 spd chain. Can I use a Shimano 105 R7000/R7100 on this setup?
My cable has this bend, is it still good, or should i replace it before bleeding it?
I've already got the cranks off. what do I do next??? I need to grease the bb or replace it because it's making creaking sounds with every pedal stroke! what tool do I need next.
List of things I have tried:
Any ideas? The pull is quite aggressive, unsure what could create this kind of movement
Cheers!
Hi Guys! Total newbie here. Just picked up a used Jeep Compass Bicycle and noticed the rear tire was flat. I figured I would just be able to inflate it, but when I tried to, the valve went into the rim of the wheel.
I removed the tire and it seems like the valve is too short? Am I missing something here?
The ferrule won't stay in. The ferrule is the one which came with the red cable set I bought to match my bike. I push in and try to twist the ferrule to stay in place but it come out with barely any effort. What am I doing wrong? Do I need a specific ferrule for the m5100 shifter?
Is this spoke salvageable? Came off a giant 24 inch kids bike.
It’s possible it’s not bike related but my gf found this on the floor after I put new wheels on this morning. Have ridden the bike already and everything works smoothly but just thought I’d ask as would rather it be on my bike if it’s meant to be! Thanks
the grip cover seems to hide a lot of what's going on, I'm not sure how to get access.
hello everyone
first time doing maintenance to my MTB shocks, after several years of use.
the seals started to leak so it was time to replace them and complete some maintenance.
quick question is this normal to you?
I took out all the air and the rod collapsed completely. if I add air it will go up, but I was wondering if that is a normal behavior? I read somewhere about negative pressure so I'm not sure
any help would be highly appreciated
This is what the frame looks like...would I need to take apart the headset for changing inners inside the downtube? https://ibb.co/xKKyBfXV
Have DT Swiss wheels (370 hybrid hub) on a very low KM bike (less than 300km, only a couple months old) and have developed some small lateral play in the rear wheel, its enough to feel and is best seen with the disc movement.
Everything is torqued to spec, and there is no wear on the through axle, though when the wheel is off, it feels like the axle is like a smidge too small? Like there is a much tolerance of play between the through axle and inner bearings/ bushings.
After a quick search, this looks like a somewhat common issue with these hubs? I’m wondering if I should ignore it until it gets worse, warranty it (and maybe have same issue again) or just get a new wheel for the rear and keep this one as a spare?
This isn’t normal, right? I’m sure my old wheel (Wingman and Yama hubs) never developed any play after years of abuse.
