@WilliamNB@nick@cycling@schizanon@famousringo@ssamulczyk I have never had a front derailleur fail either, but then I run friction & replace the cables reasonably often. When servicing other folks bikes, particularly older & lower end bikes, I get a lot of trouble adjusting worn & poorly engineered indexed front derailleurs.
Just run friction, especially on front derailleurs. Few set up issues & so easy to trim.
Kind of annoyed with White Industries at the moment. The original press-fit bearings in my Stanyan’s MI5 rear hub needed replacement a long while ago, so I had my local bike shop order them (which took forever to be shipped by Enduro) and swap them out. Unfortunately, the same amount of play persisted after the bearing swap despite said shop following White Industries’s directions to the T multiple times. My shop has called White Industries multiple times only to not be given any recourse.
I’ve been out that Stanyan for several weeks now and I don’t know if I should just get a different hub put in the wheel or something at this point. :blobfoxannoyed:
It’s been a difficult journey to the #Italy with the car expensively scratched, but we’ve managed to visit 2 #Ferrari museums and take a #family#bicycle ride in #Modena!
#GoodMorning#Monday#Gravel! One of the #KidsOnBikes is gone to the grandparents, so we had an easy start of the day with little Franek. A tough reminder how much we have to work on our #ADHD Piotrek…🙈
#GoodMorning#Gravel! A change of route again, so I could have a chance to visit #Rusalka lake and possibly surprise my son on his day camp #cycling field trip. That last part didn’t happen, but it was still fun!😁🤷🏻♂️
