Have you been allowed to take it for a run? Does it live up to the hype? Obviously the suspension won't be as advanced as an Orange, but do you think it's really any better than most other systems?You’re welcome. Did I mention that Felix worships the Rail?
My Suntour Zeron 170mm 30T weighs 872g!Just following up on this, the XT cranks arrived yesterday and I compared them to the weight of the E-13 carbon cranks. XT cranks in 170mm with a 30T chain ring are 632g the E-13 with 32T at 170mm are 449g.
My Aeffect Rs fit very easily, no hassle at all!Anyone have an opinion on the two 24mm spindle options below. My now 3 year old RF Aeffects have developed play despite the crank bolt being beyond tight (might need to go to fuckwits thread to ask how to get them off). Running 11 speed still.
Race Face Aeffect R - great reviews apparently an improvement on original, cinch is easy
Shimano - either SLX or XT - whatever i can find likely on buy & sell,
RF is winning the battle at the moment as reasonable price and available at Pushys plus i have the current cinch chainring plus a spare. Shimano though always in the mix as just works. What i dont like about the 11 speed is that it's pre the shimano direct mount rings so back to rotor bolts. Not a big deal but not as easy. But in the end really same same.
Cheers
I'll be running either 170 or 175 so the excess at the end of the crank arm not likely an issue for me but a good to know.My Aeffect Rs fit very easily, no hassle at all!
On the Ragley owners FB group there's reports of Deore cranks loosening off.
Also RF have supposedly changed the Aeffect R so there's no excess material at the end of the crank arm. They used to keep the same forgings for all crank lengths and just drill the pedal hole to suit.
I've literally just fit them, I don't even have a chainring yet!Any sign of wear on your Aeffect R's from a spindle? My current Aeffects for the first while kept coming loose which is why i think now they have play in them, i think before I covered the bolt in Loctite i did just enough damage to cause them to wear quicker than the should of. I know with Shimano's system with the two pinch bolts it's pretty simple and doesn't require the torque that my current Aeffect cranks needed.
chainring fairly importantI've literally just fit them, I don't even have a chainring yet!
Hahaha I have one on order thank you! That said there's still scope to make it..chainring fairly important
You might beat me to the fuckwits thread!
