    The 4 greatest rock bands ever

    Big BOC fan here with Buck Dharma, Albert Bouchard, Eric Bloom, etc. Many great live performances to remember at the local venues. They usually headlined with Rush, Aerosmith, Manfred Mann, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Mr. Big, etc. One of my favorite albums by BOC was "Secret Treaties",The...

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    A wealth of info here. Great! My thinking was to simply use the old ones if they do not snap of course. Not a bad idea to have these on hand before tackling the job. Good catch on the "steel" listing and good eye for details like these. Same here, with my own negligence causing issues too early...

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    Thanks for sharing the info. Sorry to hear about that nonsense. Delicate material indeed. I'll make a note of it. BTW-I reached out to FSA today and there is some confusion regarding chainring part numbers with various sellers. They are selling identical rings posting different numbers ie...

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    Great advice. I also have a torque wrench, so perhaps I will make sure it is all to spec when finished. Did you have to use one on them after re-tensioning?

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    Brooks- That is music to the ears. I have been researching this for hours on end, and was not aware the 7000 series alum was adequate strength for 80nm of torque. "I haven't found a steel replacement." Either have I! I can now go ahead with confidence and get all necessary parts to have on...

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    So you are saying that the 44T is only available in Alloy? In addition, the listing you have referenced has "32t x 104mm - 4 bolt - Black Alloy" and not steel. That is all what I am finding out in the market right now is Alloy. Did you have to remove the bolt from the inner shaft to swap out...

    Haibike ALLMTN 2.0 chainring tool

    That is great news if I do not have to remove the nut from the motor shaft. Yes, I am familiar with the CNW-2 tool. I am facing another dilemma while shopping for the FSA rings. I have part numbers, however, I am now being told they should be the steel rings (for E-bikes) and not the "Alloy"...

    Haibike ALLMTN 2.0 chainring tool

    Hi Stephan- My E-bike is currently at the LBS getting some chain work done. They found a stretch in it beyond 0.75 using a couple of different gauges. That said, they also indicated that the chainrings should be replaced on the next tune-up (perhaps next year). Nothing about the spider at this...

    SDURO Outer Chainring

    I have a similar setup on my 2018 Haibike Sduro Yamaha PW-X motor. They are 32-44T BCD104 with a 4 bolt pattern as referenced above. Could you verify if these are the correct ones taken from the link below? Thanks a lot! Haibike FSA Chainrings

    Haibike ALLMTN 2.0 chainring tool

    Do you know if the park tool bbt-18 will work on a 2018 Yamaha PW-X motor to remove the Chainring? Just wanted to verify before purchase. In addition, I was unable to find any DIY videos on the removal process. If you have used any, please link. Thanks!

    Sduro Yamaha Chainrings

    I was doing some research for chainrings for my 2018 Sduro Full Seven which have the FSA (Full Speed Ahead) stock rings. They are 32-44T with BCD 104 that have a 4 bolt pattern. I was told that your best bet would be to stick with FSA due to lack of compatability with other brands (ie: Shimano...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Glad you guys touched on the trimming of the bars. I also had stock 780mm bars for 2 riding seasons and just took them down a bit. I think I should have done this sooner instead of later. In addition, so much easier getting in and out of tight spots along with going through doorways as well...

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    BTW- SportRack makes great products. I have been using my 2 bike rack for many years now. When I purchased my Emtb with 2.8 wide tires, I had to expand the tire cradles a bit to make them fit the width of the tire. It worked fine with a snug fit. No need to have to buy replacements. It is...

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    Good for you and keep laughing. Now we are both straight then. That's what makes free speech so great. We all have different opinions, however, we do not need to always agree with one another.
