Re: The Official GTAM Bicycle Thread!
I need a reason to yell at somebody so I will see my "dealer" next week and aks aboutit. Also the 1x10 isn't indexing properly, maybe the kid missed that adjustment between popping zits.

I see where you're going with that and also where you're coming from.

Do you take your motorcycle in to the dealer when the chain stretches and needs adjusting? Dialing in derailleur indexing takes 10 seconds. No tools required.

OK, I deserved that. What I'm trying to say in my convoluted way is that I get 1yr. free adjustments, it's on the way to my new favourite coffee shop and when they ask me if I've ever touched it I can say no. Because that's how the world works.

Remember that when you clip your derailleur on a branch/rock/stump/foot/chin out in the middle of nowhere and your shifting goes out of whack.

Re: The Official GTAM Bicycle Thread!
so if it's required no tools adjust the derailer maybe inreb shouldn't be touching it?

Do you really want to hurt me. Do you really want to make me cry.

Quoting Boy George? I did not see that coming. You must have been visiting the church of the poison mind.

Re: The Official GTAM Bicycle Thread!
I have juicy 7s that run well(surprisingly?). Would upgrading to slx brakes be a big improvement? I tried a bunch of other bikes including some with slx but they did not blow me away. They probably weren't that well maintained, so would new slx really improve modulation?

Re: The Official GTAM Bicycle Thread!
The size of the rotor only affects heat dissipation, it does not increase pad surface area. You can't put bigger pads in calipers. I'm running resin pads which should have best bite in dry. Dunno what the ones I tried had.
I guess I'll compare the slx surface area vs the juicy. Also brake feel differences come from piston sizes but even four piston calipers are not uanimously praised.

Re: The Official GTAM Bicycle Thread!
Rotor size also increases the speed of the rotor past the pad. That should scale braking power (until the point the pads can't take the faster heat loading and come apart).
