Actually this would make the most sense now that I think about it, the loosening up in its own, the breaking right at the start of the threads, if it’s not something janky with the frame from the factory I bet this is it.

Wouldn't your shifting be really janky if the DS side rear triangle were loose and yawing around?

Bud Manstrong posted:I wonder if the frame is off and the dropouts aren’t aligned. Thought about this. I have sliding dropouts and have tested this by attempting to install the thru axle without a wheel, tightening it and then loosening the adjustable sliders and re-torquing everything. I also have the dropouts adjusted as far rear as possible to eliminate that variable. e.pilot posted:Comedy option it’s a non boost wheel in a boost frame. I wish the frame was boost as it would be a lot easier to swap wheels between my two bikes. pinarello dogman posted:I was thinking 'axle too long and bottoming out on the end of the threads'.

Thought about this as well since the frame didn't come with an axle when I bought it. Went through the Robert's Axle Project website and have since tried a few lengths. The 175mm is just about perfect with the threads reaching all the way through the dropout without sticking out and the head bottoming out correctly. kimbo305 posted:Wouldn't your shifting be really janky if the DS side rear triangle were loose and yawing around? I will notice my rear wheel feeling like the hub preload is off and my tire will feel like it's squirming more.

I spent Sunday at a TORCA trail day helping get a vandalized trail running again. Someone had chainsawed all the wood features making it unsafe and unrideable. Don't know for sure who did it but all evidence makes it look like it was retaliation for the landowner bulldozing another trail in the area. It was cool to see 50 people turn out and work hard to get it up and running again. For my part I spent the day making a pile of rocks to reshape a section of the trail and make a roller the a line. The rocks in the background with a board leaning on them are the eventual lip for an optional hip jump but that will be finished another day.  Rocks are heavy and the amount of buckets of gold this took to fill in was pretty crazy. My computer toucher body will be feeling this for a while.

Any recommendations on lightweight, short sleeve mountain bike jerseys? Now I wear some of my road stuff (too constrictive) or random "athletic wear". I'm looking for something not too baggy. Not being plastered in goofy logos is a big plus.

I'm looking for something not too baggy. Imo you really gotta go in to a shop and try a bunch on. Most shops will have 50% noname jerseys so no worries about finding something without logos. I've had good luck with Troy Lee Designs stuff and fox stuff. Also Sombrio.

VelociBacon posted:Generally you shouldn't use it for something that has a torque spec and you expect to be installing and uninstalling a lot, it can change the resistance under tightening and result in undertorque. As I understand it. Should I be more careful with torque spec on my MTB and road thru axles? I've always just hand tightened them. Is there a large effect on beating preload? Even on cartridge bearings? marsisol posted:Any recommendations on lightweight, short sleeve mountain bike jerseys? Now I wear some of my road stuff (too constrictive) or random "athletic wear".

Even on cartidge breaings? I'm not a mechanic or an engineer but I would tighten it to torque spec and see what that feels like, then just replicate it in the future without the torque wrench. I have all the equipment to torque things properly and I still do an extra 10% so I'm not worrying about it. I also use antiseize on nearly every bolt which would result in an overtorque if I did it to the printed spec. I really just think about the materials, think about the purpose of the fastener, and tighten things to a reasonable degree. Of course the proper way is to use a torque wrench 100% of the time. I don't think that you actually put a compressive force through the bearing when you tighten an axle on a modern bike. Especially if it's a cone washer situation or whatnot where you preload the hub bearings that way. I could be way off I only see my own gear.

I feel like all torque specs on bikes take into account things being greased and aren’t for dry torque

Maybe I'm wrong, if so I feel vindicated for overtorquing relative to spec.

Just googling really quick and the first actual manufacturer manual I found is Surly telling you to grease threads and torque to spec higher than what's on my non-Surly axles. So I'd guess any spec around 15nm is probably greased? Edit: Oh wait that's their weird axle with internal threads and separate bolt

VelociBacon posted:... Shouldn't affect preload as there is a solid stack of spacers/axle steps between all the inner races of the bearings that you are compressing, and often a tiny shim between the freehub and hub body bearings. If your wheel has more drag after you tighten it check if the shim has exploded (happened to me on a few hubs)

That makes me more upset than it should, but I just had to hose dog poo poo from my front tire after my last ride. Dogs need to be banned from multi-use trails because too many of their owners are selfish assholes who won't clean up after their pet. I shouldn't be so excited when one is actually leashed, but that's been my experience locally.
