Rejoined Zwift after a 6 moth gap. Used to enjoy the crit races and participate as a C cat. I see they have introduced a new point grading system but the quantity of races and participant in the individual races is greatly reduced. Have people moved on to another platform since the charge increase?

I’m wanting to swap out the handlebars on my new (to me) bike to a carbon integrated cockpit, the bike is fitted with 11 speed ultegra Di2 with the junction box under the stem. Is the correct tool I need the TL- EW02. Thanks

Morning. My Giant SLR rims are showing signs of wear and will need replacing in the near future, before I start browsing for wheelsets I have a pair of DA 9000 hubs wanting to be built up. What would be my options for a carbon shallow tubeless rim please

Needing a new fixed gear wheel so looking for hub recomendations, also is Kinlin still the best option for a tubeless rim? Thanks

The answer for any droppers in the future is M2.5 x 6 👍

Can anybody please confirm the dimension of the bolts highlighted in red. Thanks in advance

Works well, Thanks. Not sure I would have thought of this solution

Thanks. Interestingly just found some information on the giant spares site and the rear wheel is built with 2 different size spokes just on the drive side.

These T race spoke are working out pretty expensive. I’m assuming normal race spokes at a quarter of the price will work especially if you file down 1 side

Quick question please but when measuring old spokes to rebuild a wheel(giant slr 30mm deep rim) do you include the “head” part of the spoke in the measurement.Thanks

Upgrading my CX brakes and have bought these calipers and matching shifters. Anyway I’m putting together a shopping list of bits required. Do I need to remove the bleed screw and buy a bleed nipple?

Hi all.
I need to rebuild my rear carbon wheel after a second spoke failure in a year. Is it a bad idea to replace one spoke at a time making trueing easier or take the tension of each spoke gradually and replace all the spokes and rebuild. Thanks

Need to replace wheel bearings in a novatec rear hub and freewheel. I have a icetoolz for knocking out BB bearings, is their a similar tool for hubs?

My new Giant Gavia tyres on 411 rims will only take about 40psi and then leaks from around the valve(caffelatex included). Ive tried the O ring on the inside and outside of the rim. Any advice would be great and just for future reference which is the correct position for the O ring. thanks

Two parts to this post.
I've just changed to the winter bike and fitted some Vittoria Terreno Zero to kinlin XR22t rims which proved to be the easiest tubeless i have ever done.
Secondly i was using Schwalbe Pro One Evo on the best summer bike which i was very happy with but they have "squared off" badly on around a 1000 miles so i'm looking for recommendations on 25mm fast rolling tyres for the "best bike"?

Just bought a Giant Propel frame set so want/need some Aero wheels. I already have some Dura Ace 9000 hubs (20 and 24 hole respectively) so looking for recommendation for 50 to 60mm carbon rims?

Can i ask a quick hub rebuild question please. i've replaced the bearings in my novatec d772 hub. Do peaple use a threadlock compound on the hub axle as i have to back of the locking nut "half a turn" to get smooth operation. thanks

not surprised Tester, just asking the question before I buy the 23mm version

Anybody have experience of Schwalbe Pro One Evo MicroSkins, just bought a pair of 25mm for my giant TCR and they have come up more like 28 to 30mm tyres, is it just this tyre rim combination (SLR1 wheels) or is this normal for these tyres? Thanks.

I’ve been looking at building a new cx wheelset. The Novotel 772 hub which I used last year has been replaced with 792 but is the rear spacing really 142. What are my hub choices in the novatec price range?

When measuring straight pull spokes is the head included in the overall length. Thanks

thanks for the reply
any suggestions, carn't see anything in the same price range, don't mind which brake setup it uses

Would like to turn my old track bike into a commuting fixie/ SS so need a drilled front fork. The current forks are 1 1/8 steerer with 45x45 bearings. would this fork from planet x work? what i need new bearings. thanks

https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FOPXRT58A/planet-x-rt-58a-fork

sorted. thanks

thanks mdcc. how would i find out which one i need

just completed 500 miles on my giant gavia tubeless tyres without any problems, while washing the bike this morning i noticed a 5mm split where you can see the white sealant which did its job as it never lost pressure. Do i forget all about it and keep on riding, does the tyre need some sort of repair or is it ready for the bin? Thanks
just seen the cycleclinic video and have got me answer. thanks
