Mate, that link you posted has the right tool. So on that aliexpress listing if you look at the pictures you'll see that each tool has a part#. Eg: 398-00-681 or 398-00-682, etc.. You can compare the part numbers on the aliexpress options to the listings on cyclinics website...

BRAKE PADS !! Before going with cheap aliexpress brake pads, pick up a $5 set of calipers and measure the thickness of your brake rotor. Make sure to measure at the thinnest part of the rotor and ensure you check to see if your existing rotor is 'lipped' or has a groove worn on it. You will...

Hey mate, Does your mate still have a shockwiz ? I'd been keen to hire it for a few days.

A number of newer model brakes have actually moved away from using a traditional banjo fitting. For example the sram g2 rs brakes have a fitting that looks similar to these aliexpress brakes.

This is the stand I bought. I paid $282 delivered in 08/2021. Price seems to have gone up since then. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801621194213.html The stand makes the whole process of building and truing much easier, faster and more accurate. I've also straightened a few rotors. Takes...

hahaha .. thanks. I don't post here often. I try to make it count

Wow mate, your full order history looks earily similar to my own. Have you been happy with the bearings? Isee you got a spoke tension meter. Those aliexpress pro truing stands are worth it if you ever get into wheels and need one.

Well, I did put in two orders (so 8 tyres in total) - going to maydena. Try this link. I see plenty of 29" options https://www.merlincycles.com/en-au/mountain-bike-tyres-75332/?diameter=29- Not much for maxxis but brands that are popular in the uk like continental, schwalbe, michelin have...

Sad to hear this. I remember whe out the back near Lost World, etc.. was "closed" the first time. Nerang has always been a missed opportunity in regards to trails. Just a short drive north to the south of Brisbane there have been some amazing trails put in. Even when the commonwealth games...

Bloody hell gents !! Merlin Cycles are having a bonkers sale on tyres (and other stuff at the moment) https://www.merlincycles.com/en-au/ Shipping for 4 tyres is ~$40aud and the prices shown don't include the 10% GST. You also can't have more than 4 tyres in one order. Even so, especially for...

Hey Labcanary, Can you measure the diameter of the threaded rod. This kit does not come with cups that could be used for bearing removal. However I'm wondering if the threaded rod would fit through my 1/2" sockets which would probably serve as an excellent stand in for proper cups.
