does XT or any SRAM have any warranty?
That cassette shows minimal sign of wear, with the edges of the teeth just starting to show sign of discoloration from rubbing against the chain. Also, the breaking points matching the riveting seems a pretty good telltale. Doesn't mean they will cover it but it seems to me you have a pretty strong argument there. Not sure how you would abuse your cassette into that.
Did you have something really hard, rock maybe, get between the chain and cassette? Note the condition of the tooth next to the broken tooth at the pin.
Kinda, but I don't like actually locking it In place , doing that def makes clutch wear out quicker . I just add a bunch of resistance to that pivot point .Something along these lines?
Homemade "Hall lock" for Sram & Shimano
A brilliant solution on a homemade "Hall Lock" for Sram and Shiamno derailleurs from my buddy Collin Timmermans! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IChC4h8WDkAwww.vitalmtb.com
I've tried similar on a non-AXS derailleur and it did have a moderate effect.
That was my thinking as well. Despite the chain needing a proper degreasing, I'm pretty diligent about my upkeep.
Good point, but I honestly don't remember doing so. I did pick up the bottom of an old soda bottle the ride before, but that was on my tire.
You didn’t happen to loan your bike to 1speed, did ya?
would it have been possible to flip the shock?Installed offset hardware. I was going to install one end, specifically the rear offset hardware. But I found out that there is not enough space between the Float X shock and the Rise's shock extender. So I ended up installing the offset hardware for the front. It probably works just fine with the Fox DPX2 rear.
It is the space between the shock and the extender. The rear offset hardware will close the gap shown below and the bolt will not line up. I can certainly force it, but it doesn't seem right.
is that just the plumber's variety of teflon?
Hmm... I was able to fit it with a DPX2 with no issues. I guess Float X is a little different.
Installed (lightly used) 160mm 5DEV cranks, twice. I didn't know that there was a left and right crank. Markings are the same, but pedal threads are different L/R (wasn't so obvious to me when installing). I only noticed when it came to attaching pedals. Had to disassemble and re-do.
