Yes, a sad truth about dt swiss hubs is the freehub backdrag. Remove all the grease from the ratchet and I mean as much as you can. Also I had some 370 hubs which we had to warranty for that issue. But it even happens to my 240 exp ones.

I love the form and function of these. Light and cool looking. In your opinion which one between the two smaller ones should one buy? One i think is 2.4 volt, the other 3.6

The heuer front in 120mm

DIN standard stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute for Standardization) ISO is based on DIN I think

Which one did you get? The shimano isn't that expensive

I know that and I still hate it. It helps with clueless e bikers with 80nm motor assistance

I tried the transmission, didn't like it one bit. The delay is unbearable for me. And it's true it's more for e bikes. However there is a new firmware update that eliminates the delay

Let's not make this a sram vs shimano thread lol. But I'm curious, have you seen a broken flattop chain? And on these drivetrains you would be a really unhinged person to run a worn chain, for the simple fact that a sram top level cassette costs 400€, shimano 250€ and so on. The uneducated e...

The two prong ones measure on the opposite sides of the rollers. The chain wear occurs in the interface between the roller pins and the rollers (nothing stretches, that's a misconception) If an oversized roller chain (oversized rollers add I think about 0.05mm per roller) ,so if you add...

I do not think that is in general true. I'd suggest switching lubricants, maybe silca synergetic, or how it's called and staying away from anything too oily, like these abominations from muc off. On the road side of things there are people that get 4000kms from a single chain, with immersion waxing

A heads up on the chain checkers in general. The new 12 and 13 speed groupsets are very high Tolerance, 0.5 mark means changing the chain and maybe even the cassette (a very expensive ordain) in order to keep the crankset in pristine condition. Additionally, for the sram flattop chains with...

It is a plastic, but it has some give and it is not like it could break, it is not like glass. The material itself is fine, but as you pointed the handles can be too narrow. In the 3/8 size it may go unnoticed, but in the 1/4 the handle is literally 25mm tall. This you will be noticing all the...

Mine were greasy and it actually affects grip. However the only way I got it back to smooth but not slippery is by working paper towels with much pressure, to squeeze the grime of the little indentations of the rubber. Too much work imo, I should have gotten the acetate ones probably. Isopropyl...

No one is that affixed on toolboxes like the Americans I believe, literally the most unoticed piece in the garages. (At least here in Europe and I imagine in Japan as well)

Different, distinctive flavor, unique patterns and sometimes unmatched performance (backdrag or screwdrivers). I also like the country of origin to be sth other than china/taiwan

I would buy this. Contrary to others that are just a lever this is an actual press. There were also some made of metal but I cant find them right now

Screwdrivers, L keys, snap ring pliers and drill bits

The best thing I ever bought, which could be considered a tool in a sense, is my watch, a Longines Hydroconquest Automatic, which has been through hell and high water. It never leaves my arm, I've had it for 15 years now and it still brings me joy. As for handtools, probably my wera L keys and...

Yeah, the coating spoils the fun lol. A drill bit wouldn't like to swallow lol. Punctured esophagus

The jagwire is good enough
