The QUICK question thread.....

[oldcorollas]

Anyone know if a Magicshine 8.4v charger will work on a Cleanskin Duo 2200 battery? Or even better have a link to an AliExpress charger that will work?

i have Magicshine charger, number GM-084180.
8.4V, 1.8amp (probably enough oomphs)
black tip plug appears to be 5.5mm OD,
centrepin probably 2.1mm (a 2mm drill bit fits good)

Why the fuck do Fox list the 700x2.8 spring as the correct spring for a 205x60/62.5/65 trunnion shock when it clearly fucking doesn't fit?

Looks like I am going to have to buy a 700x2.55 spring. Chunts. 2 spring purchases and baven't even got to test whether 700 is the right rate or not.

Thats shit ! You have taken the standard 3 spring purchase per shock to a new level

Yes, the tables for the springs suck.
What stroke are you using? When I was looking for a spring it seemed I needed to go to the SLS springs or pick another brand to get a 65mm spring over 600 lb between 127 and 152mm long. It went in the too hard basket.

60mm, but probably going to cut the travel spacer off so 65mm

I just changed my inner cable for my gears. Sram Xo1. All of a sudden it’s taking a lot of thumb pressure to get into the last two lowest gears. The outer is only a few months old, there are no kinks in the cable, no binding I can see, not over clamped on the frame guides and I’ve checked it’s seated properly in the shifter etc. but it persists.
what am I missing?

Did the little noggin thing on the end of the cable fully drop into receptacle (technical term, lol) in the shifter? I've ballsed that up on Shimano shifters a once with similar result.

Hath thou spigot fully seated in thine recess.

@fji havent delved into coil for a long while, but for a period fox were running longer stroke springs on their shocks. For me this was in the 2.75 to 3 inch stroke shocks on dh and fr bikes. My intense 951 (frame...because it's a pule of parts still) runs a 3 inch stroke but came with a 3.25 stroke spring. Some know it all in a shop explained it all too me ages ago and I can't really remember why etc. Perhaps fox are still doing something like this?

Is 30mm internal rims too much for gravels? Bike (knolly Cache) takes 50mm tyres and standard build is with DT swiss gr something or other @25mm internal.

Really depends on the frame and forks. I think the new BMC endurance road bike is capable of swallowing 45mm tyres.

Yep. Ive had the cable in and out twice. So pretty sure the doodad was seated properly. It’s definitely binding somewhere as I just went for a ride and it was shifting horribly. I’ll just fit a brand new inner and outer.

Are you confident all the strands of the old inner came out of the outer and all of the strands of the new inner came through the outer? And you have correct routing of the cable through the derailleur?


I have has a couple of strands from the inner get unwound and jam inside the outer before, and I have definitely not correctly routed cable through a derailleur once or thrice.



Oh and...is the cable firmly secured to the derailleur? That's another favourite of mine. A lift turn of the hex key to position the cable while I fidget and then forget to finish the job properly...

 

[slowmick]

Routed correctly though the derailleur? Can you "close" the derailleur by hand to get the gears and have slack cable?

Could be something like that as I’m positive it’s routed and fitted correctly. Ive checked it over fully twice. Just going to start with fresh inner and outer.

Roval do a 30mm internal gravel rim now. Spoke to a couple of bikepackers doing the Mawson in Melrose last week, I was Wow... they are fat rims, hes like nah, they are Roval gravel wheels.

A quick BuBu could find out the ideal tyre size.
