shimano 1x11

Finally it becomes official and hopefully the price of 1x11 would go down Smiling

Easton Haven Wheels- bearing spacer install kit if anyone has one?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi All,

I bought a set of Easton Haven's and subsequently read about the bearing issues they'd been having on the rear hub (I think some other eastons use the same hub/bearing setups).

I managed to get my hands on the Bearing replacement upgrade, but they didn't have the "BEARING DRIFT KIT 15 M1 BEARING SPACER – Part# 8004015 (This is the tool kit. Shops need just one of these)."

Light Bicycle Carbon Rims

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hi All,

Have been looking around at some Chinese Carbon Rims for a couple of weeks now and am tempted in ordering a set or two and was hoping someone here has had some experience in these rims and the Novatec Hubs, either MTB or Road.

I'm looking at getting the 50mm clincher road wheel set

and also a set of 650B to convert my Ibis.

Any feedback would be great good or bad.

Cheers.

Seat posts

Looking for a good quality carbon seat post as I want to up grade from my standard alloy one

Problem I have is quite often my seat will move from being flat to nose up after a hard ride no matter how tight I do the cap head bolts up that hold it

So thought I may as well go carbon when bying a new one the bike is a Scott scale it's my race bike
