The QUICK question thread.....

[moorey]

Do pretty much all DH bikes these days just run a crown race adapter? Both Felix’s and mine have 56mm bottom cup and bearings for tapered fork, even though almost all DH forks are straight steerer.
1 1/8 lower didn’t even seem to be an option for this sized lower cup.
Seems kinda silly...but assume that’s what all the cool kids do?

The free hub on my hope pro2 ev hub is a bit "sticky". it still freewheels when riding but when i stop spinning pedals on the stand the rear wheel drives the cranks around. What do i need to do or what terms should i google for help.

Didn’t forget the 2mm spacer that sits between the freehub and bearing?
Or...is it the wrong endcap? There’s a slight difference between the ones for shimano and XD freehub adapters. Occasionally, I’ve had one cause the freehub to inexplicably bind.
I’ve also had one other bizarre issue I discussed on here. I’ll go fine the thread.

Edit. Was a pro4....but just a weird quirk with one frame/hub combo.

Cheers team - i know have a starting point. time to bring in the wheel from the garage and make a mess in the warmth. see you in the confessions thread.

It may also be as simple as the labyrinth seal not fully/correctly seated.

Hi guys, can anyone confirm these are definitely for a 1.5 steerer, need to order some on the urgent. Totally forgot about spacers

 

[hifiandmtb]

Yes.

I can confirm that they say it’s for a 1.5” steerer. No idea what will turn up though.

 

[safreek]

OK, 2 confirmations is a go for me

Is it possible to wear one of these and NOT look like an absolute try hard, jet ski riding flog?

Excellent.

Surely that's the height of style? I'm not sure how it would work on a jet ski, but people wear that sort of thing fishing to prevent the wrath of the sun. I can't imagine it being comfortable.

easy tiger, you know my thoughts on pilots

It'd go brilliantly whilst fishing also
