Could be dust or oxidation. Blow out the connector and push plug in/out bunch of times. And does the ride feel the same on a step through?

So true. I recently had an intermittent clicking noise and was convinced it was coming from my headset or the spacer rings—but it turned out to be the seatpost. Nothing more frustrating. I’ve spent entire rides just trying to track down noises, even using a big empty stadium parking lot with...

My nameless RE is about as old as my SL—both 2021 vintage. Early on, the RE and main battery discharged at nearly identical rates and stayed closely matched in percentage throughout a ride. A few months in, the Specy app flagged a potential issue that could make the RE unusable or even stop the...

Thanks for the tip Zbike. I will definitely do a closer inspection before putting the wheel back in use.

Hey Zbike - always breaks at the hub. And I use a tensiometer from Park. Can't really blame the device though as all final adjustments are done by truing the wheel. And typically all the individual tensions are close. But I guess if the meter is wrong then every one of the spokes may need...

I bought a set of carbon wheels for my SL, mainly for the Vesper hub. I’d like to say I noticed a performance difference, but honestly the biggest thing was just how quiet the hub is. Fast forward a couple thousand miles, and I’ve probably broken around four spokes—something I’ve never...

Having a bunch of crunch noises lately on I wish bike brake manufacturers offered an option with less aggressive stopping power. With my current setup, even a light pull can lock the wheel. What I’m really looking for is more modulation - something that gives better control, especially when...

Yeah - Found one in the US!! So happy.

Ok - it took me about 45 minutes and 4 broken levers to get this SS Gravel King on my rear wheel. Had the bead in the well all around - even had both beads in the well and still couldn't mount the tire. Finally got it on with many attempts and luckily didn't pinch the tube. Seems to me...

Next time I pull the seatpost, I’m going to try using electrical tape -- just wrap it so only the screw head is exposed. That should do the trick. Last time I dropped the piece, I ended up taking off the wheels and chain, then flipping the frame over and shaking it out. There’s actually more...

And then please compare both to thumb pressure.

Still using tubes as well but not TPUs - do you like them?

They're SS' - seem fairly similar to the pathfinders

Stefan - I should go to 38tooth but my bike is perfect as it is in my opinion. Changing anything is an issue for me. Just giving up my Pathfinder Probliss 38's has me worried as I transition to gravel king 40s this season. Every change has a minor affect and worried about the sum of all of...

Just wish WT would make a 104 BCD 44t - and Garbaruk doesn't sell to US. So, I replace my chain - a lot. Only get 5 or 6 months out of one or about 1500 miles. Starts dropping like crazy - thank goodness for clutch but can only do so much. Have thought about getting chain guard like a Creo...
