rockshox front sag

You are right about the sag. That is easy: about one third/forth of the
total travel. Rebound speed is the difficult one.

Should be at the faster end of the spectrum in my limited...

allen screws and torque

OK, so I examined one of the M5s and it looked fine. However it was greased! I don't know why but I assumed they weren't. Loots of incorrect assumptions here, it seems.

While the screw itself looked...

allen screws and torque

The shifter (SL-M7000) should be 3-4Nm! [1] Gulp!

The brake should be 6-8, however they do that with an M5, exceeding the previously mentioned max! Maybe some other material? I have an M6 there, so...

allen screws and torque

Steel nut or aluminum nut?

For some reason I assumed an 8.8 stainless steel nut, that's where I got the 6 and 10Nm for M5 and M6, respectively, but I don't know. It is Shimano SLX 2*11 shifters. I...

Offhand, if the bolt was loose AFTER applying maximum torque, you've
probably stripped the aluminum threads in the brake and shifter body.

Hint: Stay away from the maximum torque.

Yeah, I...

rockshox front sag

I don't understand why there is a whole little science to this with so many YouTube videos [1]. There is the weight of the rider plus clothes etc. There is the PSI in the chamber. There is a table on...

EU bikes all over the city

I am doubtful that bike sharing will still be a thing in 10 years.

It is much better for people who see the benefit of a bike gets one, a quality bike, and then cares for it. But I suppose it is...

EU bikes all over the city

Now a newspaper article [1] has arrived. It isn't a communal venture like I theorized above but a commercial one, a duplicate of a business model that "has worked in China".

The company is called...

EU bikes all over the city

The commune usually tries to reduce the number of bikes in the city, and they do this by putting a sticker on the handlebar, ~"is this bike abandoned? if it isn't, care for it or we'll disintegrate...

Electic bikes from China

The EU will impose duties (27.5-83.6%) on

How does it work with the percentage and all?

Who decides if its 27.5 or 83.6?

And 27.5% on what? If the Chinese ship say 100 bikes, what is the value...
