No captioning sadly, no matter how many times people write to them to reinstate it.

Felt strange seeing a 38mm looking quite gigantic and bulky on the wrist now.

Honestly, get a different fork.

Back on what felt like a gigantic watch.

Surprised it’s not selling, I thought it’s much more fun than the MoonSwatch.

Switch to cheap Shimano mini v, problem solved

Honestly I don’t know, it’s not exactly cheap at £30, give it a go.

Fun fact; CUES 9 speed listed Dura Ace 11 speed chain as an option.

Edit;

However the new link glide chain is over 50% more wear durable vs DA (control tested by ZFC), and so is the go to recommendation now for 10 / 11spd e-bike riders – and it is also more budget friendly vs Dura ace.

You put out more torque than e-bikes so it might work for you!

I wouldn’t even bother, it’s seriously fine.

Last I remember they don’t repair fork, too much of a safety issues to even attempt it.

Change seat collars.

We had quality control issues with collars where it torqued to 5Nm, but nowhere near enough to clamp it

It can be stripped and rebuild, probably a YouTube guide out there.

All the bikes I have serviced have this mark, as long there’s no groove like testy said, it’s fine.

From what you described is two thing;

Stem bolt not torqued enough causing it to move upward.

Steerer expander move when you tried to preload the headset and torque stem.

Its likely the latter, there may be a play where it feel like the brake pads is moving, turn the wheel 90 degree and rock bike back and forth with brake on while having your hand on the junction between headtube and headset, you either don’t feel any movement, or a tiny bit.

Tiny bit = not preloaded enough.

Ahh, you got BB86 (TBF you’re factually correct in calling it PF86.5).

Unless you have a chainset that is BB386 EVO, a standard BB30 chainset will not work as they’re typically designed to run on BB width of 68/72mm, not 86.5mm.

just what chainset is it?

It’s trash.

This is very common in even big names brand, when they still use compression ring made out of metal, which mean if the headset isn’t preloaded correctly, it can cause a wear groove.

Only recently manufacturer started to use plastic compression ring but ultimately it’s down to how the bike is set up; if you felt a slight play, don’t wait around, fix it.

Example of a fork we wrote off with confirmation from said manufacturer.

You need to clarify, no such thing as PF65, do you mean PF30?

Also: don’t listen to Kimmo.

Shimano Claris band-on double.

Don’t listen to Kimmo.

£150-300 give or take, lowest price was from a while ago.

The reason we send it cause we want to make sure it’s not the only damage/defect to warrant such repair.

It’s still a 100% no regardless.

We turn down services when we see these damages, we had one that doesn’t look as bad, but when send to be assess by a carbon repairer, it was actually bad enough that it need immediate repair.

Not sure if it’s worth servicing, hand winding felt stiff despite being surprisingly accurate.

Write off: either get it repaired or refund.

It will work and any Shimano 2 pot caliper will also work fine.

I just realised how quickly all the watches now look gigantic on you all wrist after wearing a 35mm one.
