tbh it has put me right off using chain reaction esp for expensive items as anyone could have nicked them bloody good job we got cctv but still a **** poor service and to be expected.

Agree with you 100% Neal, I always dread seeing a Yodel tracking no. on anything I've bought. Most of the cheaper couriers get a bad rep, but Yodel are def. the worst. I can't understand why any company would use them. They must offer a good deal to regular business users. Still, glad you got yer new wheels SW

Hello

Thanks for your patience.

From the images supplied our colleagues are happy that the finish is normal on the rim bed. It is where the rim is held during the manufacturing process and as its an alloy it will not oxidise easily.

When using a tubeless tyre with sealant it is recommended that the sealant be replaced regularly, this is usually stated by the sealant manufacturer on the bottle, and at this time the old sealant should be removed and the internal rim and tyre cleaned off before adding the new sealant.

I hope that this helps and please let us know if there is anything we can help with or if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Ben

What tyres Soundwave ? loving the discs too, go nice on my Canyon

 

[soundwave]

mary front ultra soft,hans rear soft snakeskin addix super gravity and there going to be a right pita to fit as the side walls are so thick

 

[Dom T]

Must admit I'm enjoying the minions, but a magic mary may also be on the cards up front.

well that was a fkn nightmare took 2 ppl pulling the tyre and me also levering it on the rim so be warned these are not easy to fit at all.

total cost is £948

 

[Dom T]

there is an easier way, we nosed at youtube, but yep it's a wee bit tough.
So when do these new rims, tyres and discs get a run out ?

 

[soundwave]

when i can get outside with me bike stand as just need to remove the cassette from the old wheel and fit my finned brake pads now.

 

[Dom T]

I like my finned brakes, you'll have to post where you get out to first, with your new stuff

 

[soundwave]

down the canal as not much around here unless i can get a man with a van to get to the forest.

tho there is so many ppl these days walking up and down it wired up to headphones it just becomes a pita esp ppl with dogs on no leads.

 

[Dom T]

I get shouted at up our local hillock, tend to go at the non busy times, hence a light and possible night riding. I don't understand headphones when on a walk surely it's about nature and hearing, seeing....
Bed in those brakes !!!
Next ride for me will be friday, maybe Hopton Woods...

 

[soundwave]

nearly finished but cant fit the fins in as one will fit but not 2 so will have to wear them in a bit first then fit them as even with the pistons pushed back all the way they still wont fit.



tho there pretty much dead so needed replacing left is the rear lol

 

[soundwave]

looks like my rear caliper needs some cleaning as one side is not working right so needs a clean and lube the pistons. might as well lol

[soundwave]

well thats not right ffs as cant get the right side pistons to move that much so cant center the pads

 

[soundwave]

bleed kit ordered if that dont work ill have to strip the caliper as thats what you get for mixing hope rotors with avid brakes lol.

fkn bike!!!

 

[Dom T]

It'll all be worth it in the end

 

[soundwave]

well the front one is ok but needs a good clean and lube but every time you change pads give the calipers a clean inside and lube the pistons other wise you just pushing crap in to the seals.

i got 3 working now one still bit sticky but lost some fluid so needs a bleed to try again.

ill just cable tie the 3 pistons so only the stuck one will move and that should shift it.

a new piston set is bloody 35 quid
