Space it, is it going to rub with flex in use though?
Fox forks & Chris king hubs used have compatabilty issues, took a file to my forks ( early 36s from memory)

No with a 3mm spacer taking up the natural gap then there is space between the fork and the hub flange. For the hub to rotate to flex and interfere the whole axle would have to move about 30 degrees which can’t happen. Flex in a wheel isn’t seen at a hub flange.

I’ll get some calipers at the weekend. I think its a bit of both, hub being 98 and a bit and the fork being 101 ish. Hard to do with a ruler though which is all I’ve had to hand.

I’m interested in if I can get away with the spacer though, I’d like to run both together if possible. Both are used purchases so its not a case of sending stuff back.

Thinking about it, I can see what space my wheel off my trail bike has, that will help diagnose the actual issue of the 3mm.

I’d just chuck in the spacer. That’s all the end cap is anyway. If you clamp the forks up you’ll load up the bushings, which is bad.

They are rigids with 15mm bolt through.

Oh hang on, it’s a bolt through, so positively located anyway. Yeah, I reckon you’ll be OK as it’s only packing out a gap that’s there naturally. You’re not even putting any extra forces into the fork leg by bending them inwards.

This is what I thought, wasn’t sure whether having the washer not an integral part of the hub mattered or not?

Ah, so the shape of the hub on the right (of the picture) is butting up against the fork and pushing it apart. Is that what you are describing?

No it interfaces when I clamp the fork down. When the fork is relaxed it has just enough clearance and would work if I put a 3mm spacer in the fork so they clamp up to the hub in their relaxed position.

Not sure if that makes sense. The interference I have drawn happens if I tighten the axle to take up the 3mm.

I don’t think there would be a problem if it wasn’t for the shape of the hub.

If I was to put another 100mm 15mm hub in there it would just nip up as I do the axle up, but it cant due to the shape of the hub and fork.

Why Roval have made a hub where the flange sits so close to the edge is beyond me… maybe it was an attempt at boosting before boost hubs became available.

The problem I think lies with the shape of the roval hub. The flange sits so wide compared to any other hub I’ve ever seen. Then the niner fork is flared at the wrong point.

I haven’t got any calipers to measure what’s out. I’ve got access to lathe so I can make an exact spacer. I’m not skilled enough to knock a new hub end cap up that’s 3mm longer though!

One of these

If I can get the old ones out, is it a case of Just using a headset type press?

Anyone know if I should use grease/carbon paste/loctite when installing it if I do it myself?

Ok thanks everyone.

Frames turned up and I think it’s got one of these fitted from what I can tell.

It seems to have one side not 100% flush with the frame and when I install some new bb cups (gxp) there is a slight noise. I think it is because the bearings aren’t 100% parallel with each other.

How are these fitted, are they just pressed into the frame? Can I remove it and install one of the praxis ones that seem to get so good reviews?

I run trainer road from a galaxy s7 edge. No problems at all.

Absolutely love trainer road!

Slept a lot better thanks to the link to the metal insert that is cearly intended to be pressed in and left.

Do Hope do one that fits a gxp bottom bracket?

It’s a very well crafted website, but little things don’t seem right.

The prices on everything are way too good to be true.

Scam

Not sure if it is metal or resin. Can’t tell from the photos

Yes it is… I’ve explained this before

Anyone work in the trade able to shed some light on this, how wide spread is this issue? If you sell bikes with GX Eagle on, how many are coming back with an issue would be a good indicator?

Geometry, weight, brand, warranty- usually in that order for me.

I’m getting the feeling the issue lies with the GX mech?

How many of you folks are on GX Eagle and how many on X01/XX1?

Is this happening on hardtail too or is it limited to bikes with chain growth i.e full suspension?

Thanks, did it come with end caps?

Where did you buy it from if you don’t mind me asking?

Ive just stripped a carbon whippet. Sub 3lb with the same geometry as the scandal

18″ you can have it for £100 plus postage and I’ll include an xt front mech, headset and seatclamp for that

Yes you’ll need a gx freehub. Some hubs you can change jist tye freehub. Whats your rear hub?

Whats this Eagle horror story everyone is going on about?

Rock razor?

I’ve seen this on cinch cranks before too. The tolerances are aweful. We put a 0.5mm spacer on drive and non drive side to compensate.

Hi Al, cheers for that. It was the braking bumps I remember most from 10 years ago.

Thanks for the advice

I have one every 2 weeks. Then I shave it off, I can’t deal with regular wet shaving as it wrecks my skin. It’s not normal how fast mine seems to grow!

Had a wet shave last night and my wife always tells me I look ten years younger clean shaven.

Try trimming it into a shape from an early start, then keep that shape as it thickens in.

I’ve got big tyres already, it won’t be a choice between the two.

Think they are £30. I fitted one the other week to make them 170mm from 160mm thinking we were going to Pila, then the accommodation fell through and now it’s Morzine I’m wishing I’d gone 180mm!

I’ve learnt that I definitely won’t be ordering a car then backing out and posting about it online.

I’m also 20000% less productive than I used to be.

Is tyre glue the same as what you get in a normal puncture repair kit “rubber vulcanising solution”?

Thanks. Do they need glue applying?

That’s got to be group surely. 110 must be zone 1 for him, 24mph average in hilly terrain and zone 1… not human (or drug free anyway).

Have you got a link to the above product please Tracey?

Sorry to sound stupid, but how do you use these “anchovies”? I’ve never used one

(simple step by step instructions assuming I know nothing about them would be really helpful please)?

My resting hr is 90

that’s not very healthy matey, have you been checked out?

How do you know which is DH specific?

Anyone?

No it was a low cupboard, definitely toddler tidying. Wife is actually pretty good as I have a bike related draw and anything she hidy tidies goes in there.
