A newish bike to me but probably from around 2015-27. Currently getting a lot of use by my soon to be 13 year old. I noticed a bit of play in the rear, I can see a bearing moving, so looking to test it all down and rebuild with fresh bearings. I hope it's all present and correct, but I have...

Hi, trying to find a set of wheels to suit a non boost 27.5e4 is proving a challenge for some reason. I was looking for Shimano freehub to run 11sp but most seem the XD driver. So, not having used this standard before, what's it all about? I've read various marketing stuff online and aside...

What is this witchcraft? Next they will add a double then triple ring, 9sp and the circle will be complete. They sounded a bit Darth Vader.

Still looking, now need 2 sets as I'm having issues with my son's bike, the rear is not well so looking to replace these. Intended bikes will get used on trails so something robust with a fairly wide rim. Open to any options, not looking for anything too low rent, ideally something half...

Here's a pic of the post on the bike currently.

I may have one, I'll check Sunday.

I have one on a bike, it's extremely good being new when fitted and the bike hasn't been ridden in anger and done less than 50 miles all in. Also have a retro syncros in 30.0. If either are of interest let me know.

Not strictly true. Any v1 splined BB is compatible, 105 is the lowest rent option. Ultegra and Dura ace work too. Still the same challenge with axle length, just more expensive.

Ok, so some more info. The 4 arm middle chain rings are a specific BCD iirc and so you can't bolt on any old 104bcd chain ring, or even the modern and confusing 110bcs 4 arm. There was a DH outer ring, but that required it's own spider to work with the bcd of the ring which iirc was 112mm 5...

I could be interested. I've got a 1x rival on my gravel bike and it's decent.

Thanks for the insight.

Pretty sure I have a pair as I swapped out for srp ti. Post long gone.

I think you'll want 10t jockeys for the older mechs. 11t for newer (8, 9 and 10sp iirc). I've got some new Shimano 10t jockeys doing nothing at the moment.

I had toyed with that idea, matching and OCD.
