    Easton R4SL Hubs (EA90SLX)

    It bothers me a lot, hence me trying to find a way to change the pre load adjuster and try again! :)

    Easton R4SL Hubs (EA90SLX)

    I am starting to think the same although part of me doesn't want to give up and loose money on a £700 set of wheels!! Living in Britain they do see A LOT of water mind! If I can source new bearings and get this new pre load adjuster on then I'll give them one last whirl!

    Easton R4SL Hubs (EA90SLX)

    Hi folks, I have had these wheels for a little over a year with nothing but problems. The latest issue, after a rain ride one of my front bearings appears to have disintegrated, any ideas where I can get a replacement set without spending the earth!? They did send me the replacement pre...

    Canyon and DT SWISS XM180 Shock Movement

    Ha ha! Don't even get me started! :) Up until my previous unsuccessful full sus purchase about 6 months ago I only ever bought frames and custom built my own hardatil race bikes, which makes this even more frustrating as they ran like total clockwork! On the subject of the rear shock...

    Canyon and DT SWISS XM180 Shock Movement

    Hello! I have a Canyon LUX MR, its only a few days old, I have noticed that the rear shock mentioned above can twist in the frame by about 5-7mm either way. Is this normal? Do you think this could be linked to a slight "knocking" feeling when the shock is locked off when I hit a small...

    Focus First Expert Rear Suspension

    Hi folks! Thanks for your help!! Its much appreciated, thanks for your time! The feedback/update so far is.... Well..... I contacted Wiggle via email, and they told me to return the bike for a check by their pro mechanics. "Fine" says I! 2 weeks later (Thankfully I'm a road cyclist...

    FSA SLK Pro Carbon Chainset Megaexo

    Thanks for all your responses guys!! Really appreciated!! Not too fussed with the mention of chain rubbing on the outer ring being normal mind! Off it comes and on to the none drive side it goes then!! Have bought a huge Park torque wrench as my LBS doesn't have one........ Concerning!

    FSA SLK Pro Carbon Chainset Megaexo

    Ah ha!! I will try and crank it right up then! I'm always dubious when I see toques such as 45nm! I abide by all the others though but some how 6nm doesn't seem so threatening!!

    FSA SLK Pro Carbon Chainset Megaexo

    I got it from Planet X so I don't think it not factory reject. Better not be, I'm not a factory reject kinda cyclist! :) Hmmmmm..... If I fit it without anything what so ever the spindle is slightly long so the crank moves when fully tightened through the BB, I need the couple of mm to stop...

    FSA SLK Pro Carbon Chainset Megaexo

    Hi everyone, I have just bought one of the above crank sets, it has come with one what can only be described as a "wavey washer", is this normal?? The exploded view on the FSA website seems to come with a lot more washers etc. I've fitted it, but I've had to mount said wavey washer on the...

    Focus First Expert Rear Suspension

    Afternoon all!! Has anybody encountered a problem with the rear suspension joints on chain stays of the Focus First?? I bought this bike of Wiggle about 6 weeks a go and from the first ride I could feel movement that felt like a loose headset. So I set about tightening the head set and...

    Interesting update: Dropped Easton an email re dissatisfaction and they are sending me another freehub and replacement bearing adjuster/seals for both wheels. Score! Impressed with the customer service!

    Do you wear a helmet?

    I wear a helmet, I currently have a Giro Exodus and to be honest it's not too much hotter then not wearing one! An extra bit of sweat is worth possibly saving your life right?? Coming from an XC racing background I always used to race with one and even 5 years ago they were hot and horrid...

    EA90 SLX R4 Freehub (Not Too Happy!)

    I never use a hose or pressure washer to clean it, just soapy water in a bucket with a sponge/brush! I don't use furniture polish though and will give that a blast! Every little helps! :) I live in Wales so riding in fair weather from this point of the year onwards isn't an option and the...
