    That will be the shed pixies.Not only do they steal small parts before they hit the ground but have a habit of peeing on bike parts in the night.
    It’s acidic you know. 😀

    Yer will be the damp over a log period.

    And i’ll say no more on the matter.

    Update.
    After a quick measure of everything Superstars info is totaly wrong.The actual insertion depth of the EC cups is a tad over 8.5mm.There 10mm info includes the tapered end of the cup so slotted in a dream. 😀

    Loco chucked in the RCT3 damper and a dual flow when he serviced my 426 dual air pikes.
    The difference is just amazing.
    The oil volume in the damper is 140 ml and still 15 ml in both lowers.
    Good here for answes isn’t it. 😀

    ^This.Put something small in between your fore finger and your thumb muscle and squeeze it.Now put something big there and squeeze.
    This is what’s happening to you.
    It’s science you know. 😆

    Superficial.It still won’t work with a 36 in the middle position.The bump in the middle of the outer cage gets in the way.
    I might just have to use a BB mounted one as i does seem a high direct mount wasn’t invented for 9 speed double set up.
    BB mounted and normal band mount do exist.Typical…. 😥
    devash .Yer i have two of those wee ones and they do the job nicely.

    Quote me if i’m wrong here but i have double 9 speed normal type slx front mechs on two bikes.
    The plates are different on the doubles to allow you to use a 36t ring and a lot shorter.
    If you use a 36t on a standard tripple 9 speed front mech the chain WILL rub on the outer plate as it’s designed for a 32.
    There a different shape hence my question… 😀
    It started when they brought out the slx double (22/36)crank set and FD to suit.
    otsdr..That’s what in after bud… 😀 😀

    Very very sad news.He helped me out above and beyond many many times as i did him.Went through his new house purchase with him before he bought it and now this.
    R.I.P bud..

    Yer seems to be no more.Real bummer as all my bikes and wheel sets are running on his.
    I used to test his new ones on my frames and got loads of bearing presses and extractors free off him.
    Luckily i still have quite a few sets left so ok for a while.His bearings where second to non and great value.
    Real shame as he was a great guy,bit bonkers but aren’t we all. 😀

    Don’t mention silicon spray.I had to sort out a bike that my clever brother has sprayed everything with the dam stuff.

    Apply some cheese sauce and a little paprika.Works for me every time. 😀
    Seriously though just fire it back to merlin.They’ve replaced both of mine as mine too where haunted by wee gremlins.

    Don’t follow the advice at the end of that vid.You do not fully compress the forks when locking up the foot nuts.You create a secondary negative chamber.
