Wow that one hurt.
My first ride in the Zwift WTRL race series. Check that avg HR
@Roady big al up here has a thing that threads it as he cuts it. Literally takes about 2 seconds per spoke.
Productivity overload
I'd heard and seen this on a YouTube video about building a while ago but didn't realise it was so quick! Really thought it was more of a manual process to get things really accurate. Do you guys do much stuff through the mail? I've got an old deep rim & 10-speed hub it would be good to get built to just flog on. I'm not going to use it and couldn't seem to sell it as it is (bought from a clubmate with multiple broken & damaged spokes as a project I never followed through).
Has anyone had anything repaired by rapha in the last year or so? I have had a number of requests and everyone is responded to with a voucher. So much for the lifetime repairs.
How good are the vouchers? I've a set of old arm warmers with a split on them, would be good to replace for minimum costs!
Ultegra 6800. When the front derailleur is in small front ring, the RD goes all the way up and down the cassette perfectly, no problems at all. However, when changing to BIG front ring, the RD hesitates slightly going from the very largest rear cog for 3 changes down the cassette (moving from large cogs to small cogs) then suddenly the hesitation is gone after 3 changes and it'll then go all the way down to the very smallest cog no worries whatsoever.
Could be chain, well worth checking it just to confirm!
Other thought would be the guide cog being too close to the cassette, so the chainline is harder for the RD to move over, it's 'snagging' on the cassette when the chain tension is higher (when in large ring) but when tension is lower (little ring) it's able to move easier?
Can't think for the real/official names for it, but you'll find info on the screw to adjust that difference (how close the guide wheel is to the cassette) and how to measure if you look for info on changing cassettes with differing teeths.
Just a thought... If you've changed cassette size it might be that, or if the RD is junked up a little so isn't moving as freely, so is adding more tension, etc etc
