As far as I can tell the XCR is the XCR Pro. They are the same lever.

They are tools made by hope. HHTT182 & HTT1004 Hope Pro 2 Hubb bearing support. Yes they are specifically for this kind of job.

Thank you.

Well normally people just service the hub when it's laced to a rim but I received this only as a hub so made the video. Cost is about £30 for the bearings vs a new wheel which would be like £200+ for this kind of spec

I have never tried. The seals tend to soften once they have swollen so they loose the shape not just their size.

There should be some rubber rings inside the caps, there is a groove for them to sit into.

@@Chambers36TheEnter i see. Might be missing those. Thanks a lot.

I never found the source sadly. To me it seemed like the axle wasn't in spec. The lips on the axle were every so slightly too close together so when in installed it was able to rock back and forth from one bearing to another. Yes, for me adding the end caps removed the play as then the hub is held in place in the bikes frame. Mine was only side to side play. If you have play where you can rock the wheel back and forth it might be an issue with the bearings, but if they are new bearings and not loose then yes it's potentially the axle that's the issue.

No problem, thanks for the comment.

It's because I wouldn't be able to use a normal press drift on the opposite side because none of the press drifts have a hole in the middle big enough to slide over the hubs axle. I only have that one silver tool. If I had 2 then I could press both bearings back into the hub but I might need a longer thread for the press then.

I would agree, with this method I would always change both bearings. Because, like you say the axle is pushing against the bearing and if you're hammering it, it could damage it. An extraction tool would be good for saving the bearing if that's what you require.

@@Chambers36TheEnter Agreed, but you could only get an extractor out after one side is hammered out because the inner sleeve is in the way initially.

Hi, I also thought about plugging the spoke holes. I am surprised no one tried a silicon strip that has plugs for each spoke hole, maybe it would be very heavy. After a year of use mine, these strips are still working perfectly. Good luck.

@@Chambers36TheEnter I am in France, there are special tubeless plugs but customer tests are not conclusive and it is hard to install and it is expensive. For my part, after several years I understood that it is the tire that unsticks the tape, the preventative sticks on it or something else. I tried several tapes, always the same. Finally this weekend I almost bought plugs on Aliexpres. They have just started selling these plugs but they are not intended for tubeless. I would have put silicone under each of these plugs but all that becomes too complicated. Still, no one in the world suggests in the forums or elsewhere the technique of using a traditional rim tape. I am going to put it on top of the existing tape. I have 4 bars of pressure. I do not want to give up tubeless.

I guess you can find out how good Adidas warranty process is now. My pair are still going fine after 6+ months use.

No problem. It's crazy Shimano don't really offer the spares. Glad to here that the Risk stuff is decent.

I did another video with some Adidas boots, Eastrail 2.0 Mid RAIN.RDY. They are currently on sale on Adidas's main site for £66 delivered. The ones I have lasted longer than the Karrimor boots. They are quite wide as well.

No worries. Easy job really.

IceToolz Cable Cutter is what I use for the braided hose. It gives a nice straight edge. Needle driver tool is the press tool. Mine was just one I found on ebay. Yours should be a bit easier than the braided hoses in this video as these were older 6mm hoses which are very ridged & harder to work with. The tech 4 stuff will come with a much more flexible 5mm hose. So potentially you won't even need to trim the clear plastic coating in order to get the fitting/olive over the 5mm hose.

@@Chambers36TheEnter Thanx for the advice and reply mate!😉👌🏻

No worries. Hopefully it all works out well for you. Kills the enjoyment on the bike if you're suffering. The other thing you could do would be to increase the padding in the seat so the distance between your backside and footpeg is further apart thus reducing knee bend.

I'm afraid I don't have any here to check.

Just took apart my GRX 810 caliper and the piston seal is a 2mm square profile with inner diameter 22mm and outer diameter 26mm. I believe it's the same piston as the RS785 but you can check out the specs online to make sure.

@@davidhoey7308 thanks for the reply, I appreciate your information. If the inner diameter is 24, wouldn’t the outer diameter then be 28? The McMaster Carr selector indicates that for square o-rings, measurement is taken as width x inner diameter.

@@billy79521 Sorry, I wrote the wrong measurement for the ID above! The ID is 22mm. I've edited my original comment to correct this.

You are welcome! 👍

De nada. Fico feliz que o vídeo tenha sido útil para você.

TBH they were very brittle and were fraying with tiny strips of rubber coming off of them. I used some silicone lube on them and just pushed them back into the little grove inside the cap. They are easy to pinch so be a bit careful.

The 6 bolt part is machined with the rest of the hub, you can't replace it individually.

@Chambers36TheEnter Dang ok. Hopefully they honor warranty. We shall see.

@@Chambers36TheEnter thanks for the reply

The one I use is the Hope HTT167 hub support tool but if you look up hub support tool there is a few others. I'm guessing you mean the item at 1:52?

Shops are weird places. It probably wasn't worth their time to swap out the bearing. A new Hope BB is like £90 a I think but the exact same stainless bearings are about £30.

I paid £98 for my blue hope bottom bracket and he tried to get me to buy a cheaper one for £20 and it wasn't blue. I told him that it's hope and they designed them so you can replace the bearings. He didn't know or he was just playing dumb but he looked at the cheap one he had and he looked at it and said ho it looks like you can take the bearings out off this one as well, i said know because because i paid £100 for that and im wanting to to try and keep my hope parts and keep it blue to match my hope brakes and hubs. Nice guy but after that i certainly ain't letting him work on my bike.

Cheers.

No problem 👍

It could just be the rubber piston seals have swollen up with age so you can no longer pull in the lever. Shimano, I don't think do official spares for that lever so potentially your bike shop will advise you to chuck it away and put a new lever on there. There is after market spares though on amazon and ebay if you look around (UK)

@@Chambers36TheEnter thanks for reply I have literally just put new one in because the piston had broken I wonder if I should have greased the rubbers and pistons but I had it all working and now it won’t pull in and it’s solid so I’m at a loss now not sure what to do

@@aaron1278 That does seem strange. Normally it's the other way around where you can pull the lever but it never returns to the original position. Being solid like that would indicate that there is a potential blockage in the system and the fluid is unable to move or maybe an alignment issue with the lever mechanism. As long as you also used mineral oil and not dot fluid if you had to re-bleed the brake after you fitted the replacement lever. An other potential issue could be caliper related if the seals are worn on the caliper and the caliper piston or pistons aren't retracting fully this can cause the fluid to lock up but you would be able to physically see this as 1 or 2 of the caliper pistons would be out a lot further when compared to the working brake.

@@Chambers36TheEnter yep I did use mineral oil for sure and re bled the system like I said it’s so strange because it was working and then it just locked up pistons are all in I did check this to so think it’s beyond my capabilities so will just take it to the shop in the morning off on holiday at ten but shop opens at 9 so will take it and leave it with them fingers crossed won’t cost to much money! Thanks for your help much appreciated!

Think I’ve managed to sort my brake thanks to you!! Think I’d put a rubber washer in the wrong place just the rear brake is spongey now bled it a few times do you think this could be the master cylinder?

Thanks. Glad you got it sorted.

Did you buy them? I wear thick socks as well but I don't think this altered me going for the size I went for.

@@Chambers36TheEnter I bought them. I’m a 10 I got 10.5 and wear thick sox. I’m so pleased with them they’re super comfy

I have had these 8 months now and the soles are wearing down thin but the rest of the boot has held up really well, I wouldn't personally get the more expensive gortex version because I don't see what extra I am gaining over these ones. If the price was similar I would try the gortex just to see if it's any better but I am more than happy with the rain rdy version. In the past 2 months I doubled the distance I have been walking & there's probably another 1-2 months worth of use out of these before the sole is so worn that water would get in underneath.

@@Chambers36TheEnter Soles are the things that are stopping me from buying these shoes. I have the "shorter" version of them - Soulstride - and they are great, except the soles or grip to be accurate. I need boots for hikes and walks in the woods and muddy fields. So the grip is important, and unfortunately, on the sidewalks is disappearing really fast. Just a blink and a "layer" is gone. BTW do you was them in the machine when they are really dirty?

@@paulcelmare6926 Mine are just about coming to the end of their life, the sole rubbers in some areas are flat. They did offer me decent grip. I ended up buying another pair as for the price they are lasting me a decent amount of walking time. I think the issue with the machine wash is the boots hitting the drum. If you can protect the boots with other washing, towels, bedding etc then it should be okay on a low heat delicate cycle.

@@Chambers36TheEnter thanks for replying. I bought mine a few days after I left my comment. As for now I did only 10 km and they seem to be good. Although I already see that the grip is the same like in Soulstrides. How many km did you do wearing them?

That's kind of hard to say. Most walking I have done in one day is about 8 miles and I felt fine afterwards but then I am used to walking, I do it a lot. There's is a bit of a break in period with them so I wouldn't want to take them straight out of the box and go and do a serious hike.

Thank you for the kind words. I have to say thanks for talking about Olsen, I was not aware of this brand. They have some Ti frames in the sale for less than £600 which I am interested in thanks to you. I was already eyeing up the Titus Silk road which is also in the £600 ball park.

Cheers. Glad to have been for help. I pray you never need to bleed them!

Okay thank you, I have plenty of that stuff as well.

@@Chambers36TheEnter Smear a thin film ove both zipper chain links and run the puller up and down a few times. Not only does this help with protecting the rubber coating of the water resistant zipper, it also helps prevent water ingress.

Enjoy getting silicone grease on everything you put in and out for a few weeks before its all gone..

My top cap leaked but it was cause because it had warped out of shape. The lever will naturally have a purge system by which if you have bled it recently it will leak out excess fluid as they normally get slightly over filled when bleeding.

No the lever blade can be removed with the master cylinder it attached to the hose. 👍

I found the 11 to be quieter. It might be better aerodynamically so at speed it's less noisy but both helmets do well for noise ratings.

i really don't think the 11 is that quiet, compared to most helmets ive owned, but then i just wear ear plugs 🤔
