XTR crank help
A slight crank noise developed today during a spin, & I've found out what it was. The crank has about 1mm of slop moving left to right. (See photo below)
The arrow indicates where the 1mm slop is occurring. These cranks are slightly different to others I've had in the past. Any advice as to how to retighten them?
Fancy XTR gear... Discuss.
Well - I just purchased a second hand 2009 Anthem Ltd X. I have to sell my 2009 X2 Anthem now.
The reason for this post is in relation to all this XTR kit on my new bike. As much as some of it is lovely (eg, rims, gear shifts!), other parts (eg. brakes) seem no different at all. Besides the actual huge cost of XTR, I'm just wondering if any of the NoBMoB group have upgraded to XTR only to wish they hadn't? I certainly couldn't have afforded this bike brand new.
BTW - the bike is great. 
Shimano QR Hub Cone Adjustment
Hi all,
Quick question relating to Shimano QR hub cone adjustment.
Do you 1) leave the tiniest amount of play before installation and let the QR compression take it up?
or 2) Adjust the cones to have zero play prior to installation of the QR?
I have been doing No.1 but not sure if there is enough bearing preload being applied. (There is no lateral play in the wheel once installed)
Interested to know anyones thoughts/experience on this one.
CenterLock Disc Rotors with Avid Brakes and installation...
After a bit more research.. a few more questions:
Has anybody experience with centerlock disc rotors with Avid brakes? Shimano obviously says use centerlock rotors only with Shimano brakes...
What rotor brand did you use?
I could find Avid rotors on CRC in 185 (Shimano apparently only has 180...).
The only 203 I could find was from Shimano.
Do I need a special tool to install the centerlock rotors? Got the impression but couldn't find any conclusive information.
What is it called? Any shop recommendation?
Thanks
Sascha
Disc brake rotors
Well after still having problems with excessive pad wear I'm now contemplating changing disc rotors.
See my previous post for details on the pad wear problems http://nobmob.com/node/8818
A 10km ride this week on a wet track has worn through 50% of my sintered metal pads. And I certainly wasn't dragging the brakes or using them a great deal. By the end of the ride the pads had worn so much that the brake lever was squeezing all the way to the bars before the pads were engaging.
SPD Style Pedals - All sorted
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone had some Shimano SPD pedals they want to get rid off.
PM me if you have, happy to swap cash for the pedals
Cheers to all those that offered. Good to see such a healthy community.
Thanks all once again.
