Thanks for all the bananas
While on the chain theme, is there a place that sells KMC X10 chains (or even a Shimano 10sp chain) at a reasonable price? I'm pretty sure $50 is a bit overpriced!
36t all the way.Ok. Looks like I’ll be running the chain. Thanks.
2nd question. I know there’s been a lot written about this but I’m going to upgrade the ratchet in my DT Swiss 350’s from 18 to either 36 or 54.
I’m a 100kg kitted and I put a bit of power down to the pedals.
Am I asking for trouble going 54th or should I stick to the 36 for a safer bet.
Ive heard the 54 can be a bit fragile for bigger units like me.

That’s because it’s not so fragile for a big unit or the noticeable difference between a 36 and 54 is negligible ?36t all the way.

I just read up on YBN, they sound good. Are the YBN as easy as the KMC to quick link etc?Cyclingdeal

If you can wait, this Ybn chain is a good deal.

Hmmm maybe?Caleb Clarke goes ok from all accounts from the Aus media...big boots to fill.
Chances of the Wallabies pulling out an ambush or two at ANZ and Suncorp?
Can I mix and match chains?
I’ve got 3/4 of a SRAM 11sp chain (NFI why I have most of a chain) and enough left over KMC links to make a full chain.
They seem to go together fine but concerned SRAM might have an inbuilt detection device and self destruct when I try to run it.
If you have the right speed/size quick link, most chains are as easy as the other to work.I just read up on YBN, they sound good. Are the YBN as easy as the KMC to quick link etc?
The skip from 36 to 54 poe is noticeable but I would prefer to keep my teeth intact.That’s because it’s not so fragile for a big unit or the noticeable difference between a 36 and 54 is negligible ?
I’m a fair bit heavier than you and have run a 54T upgrade for over 2 years. Applied dt grease once. Never skipped a beat.Ok. Looks like I’ll be running the chain. Thanks.

That' what I was wondering? - What's this light weight worried aboutI’m a fair bit heavier than you and have run a 54T upgrade for over 2 years. Applied dt grease once. Never skipped a beat.

I use it for all my grease needs. For the sealed bearings in your headset, I like mine to rest in a bed of grease.Do people still use marine grease on headsets or with sealed bearings do you not use grease at all
'On' as in on the outside of the bearings?Do people still use marine grease on headsets or with sealed bearings do you not use grease at all
Grease (or retaining compound) on all bearing to metal contact.Do people still use marine grease on headsets or with sealed bearings do you not use grease at all
