hot water and a good tire lever


This reminds me, I need some good tire levers.

Is it normal to have a tiny bit of wiggle/play on a cassette? I noticed it when cleaning my bike earlier, just a little bit of movement when you wiggle it. Lockring is cranked down and there's no movement along the axis of the axle. No issues with shifting either, just wondering if it's indicative of an issue.

They're Aksiums, but I did find them on the street for free. I'll keep an eye on it and maybe get the hubs serviced before winter.

Take it to a shop for fitting

Cleaned my drivetrain today, went to put the bike on the trainer, noticed a small bolt drop out when doing it, then my derailleur fell off by the hanger!

Looks like I need a new hanger as the threads seem a little stripped on one of the holes. Is the wheels mfg 176 equivalent to a trek 315464?

The more I look at it, the more I think it’s been built with the wrong bolts. Should these bolts go further in (eg should they be longer)? There’s no point me buying a new hanger if it’ll strip the threads again!

My gravel bike (Orbea Terra) says not to use spacers above the stem. Is that likely specific to the stem, rather than any other reason? I want to try out a lower stem position but I don't want to commit to cutting the steerer just yet. Could I swap out the stem and use spacers above temporarily?
