    Questions about Shimano 105 R7000 11s mechanical

It all worked and I didn't have any shifting issues and I don't remember...

    Questions about Shimano 105 R7000 11s mechanical

    Yes, it's a genuine Shimano CN-HG601 11s chain and it isn't overly worn. I replaced the jockey wheels with some BBB Rollerboys. I've used these in the past and I think they're smoother and better than the Shimano originals, but they didn't help in this case. I don't think it's a lubrication...

    Questions about Shimano 105 R7000 11s mechanical

    I have a bit of a Frankenstein Shimano 105 R7000 11s mechanical set-up on my gravel bike. I have 105 shifters and derailleurs with with an 11-40 cassette and a 30-46 Shimano GRX crankset. The maximum for the 105 rear mech is supposed to be 34 teeth, I think, but it all seems to work without any...

    Whats your work horse, daily, go to, get around bike

    Whats your work horse, daily, go to, get around bike

    This is my "shopper": I bought it on a bit of a whim to try out a belt drive and hub gears and I really like it, it's very smooth and quiet, needs hardly any maintenance and you don't get oily trousers when riding in "civies". I did make a few changes, fitted some mudguards and changed the...

    I haven't posted for a while, so hello to everyone that remembers me. I still ride regularly, but haven't been using my MTBs much, so I've decided to have bit of a clear out. Mainly MTB parts, although some are non specific and there are a couple of road parts too. I hope this is OK, but I've...
