according to this description, the dropout "loops all the way around the skewer" so exactly the same as a ThruAxle (TA) then.

I have them on my new(ish) bike and they're good but no better than the QRs on my other bikes.

Re: saddlebag on carbon seatpost
assuming the carbon post is heavy enough (i.e. not too thin walled) would a thin hard plastic sheeth between the post and clamp which stops the clamp creating a stressor and spreads the clamping force not be a solution here?

Re: Do I need a new chain?

Re: Stolen Goat Clothing
They do some funky designs but if you're going for the plain styles why not go for Rapha?
If you get the Rapha stuff in the sale I'd suggest with the free lifetime repair service they'll work out better value.

Re: chainset noise
I followed Brucey's advice to fit a chainset spacer and this seemed to work a treat. I ordered two sets, 1.2mm and .6mm. The 1.2mm was too much as I couldn't get the FD to shift up. I then fitted .6mm and the FD works and on the road the small/small now works almost silently. Thanks to Brucey and to...

Re: chainset noise
I checked the inner chaingring and it was on correctly (pity that would have been a nice easy fix so thanks gregoryoftours). I was thinking about the mention up thread about trimming with bar ends. When I first obtained the bike (it was 2nd hand) it didn't do this and it only started when I tweaked ...

Re: chainset noise
thanks again for all the input. It looks like the inner is mounted incorrectly as all the writing is facing inwards. I'll flip it over and see if it resolves. I dont understand the comments about the bar end shifter as once I've shifted (and trimmed if required) the chain isn't touching the FD, how ...

Re: chainset noise
Thanks guys for the input, I'll do some measuring and see if anything jumps out but it's sounding like hitting the ramps in 2nd and smallest cog is expected.
I think the group all matches, it's a compact road double on audax bike.
I'll check the chainring are mounted corerctly.
thanks

chainset noise
I wnoder if folks can offer some advice please. I have a 9 speed double setup and when in the small at the front and from about the 3rd smallest) to the smallest at the back my chain hits the ramps on the outer chain ring. I know small/small is not advisable but I should be still able to use it with...

there's quite a few threads on LFGSS about Saffron and I think the guy who runs it posts quite a bit on there as well.

Maybe an old phone?

I think some of these apps can send an alert on movement detection and you could also record.
You'd need connectivity either via data allowance or wireless.
