Could this work? Not sure if Axiom have a UK importer at present.

The M-Part Summit rack has very similar arrangement at the base. I can check next week if it came with a similar extended base bracket option.

Re: Shimano FH-M6000 Deore Rear Hub issues
Could that be a way forward for grease injection if you have the hub apart? - Drill hub shell, inject closed cell foam through hole, let it set then drill through foam and plastic sleeve.

Re: Shimano FH-M6000 Deore Rear Hub issues
If doing the cassette body & cone swap, it will also be an opportunity to drill the original hub shell for a grease hole/fitting.

Re: Shimano dynamo hub
Was it a different front rack previously?
Slightly clutching at straws, I wonder if the new rack was putting some sort of force on the fork blades (twisting?) which changed things.
I guess you will soon find out if that is the case.

Could some gunge which you cleaned off have been holding back the leak?

Re: New Shimano CUES groupset
Maybe not, but if I was building a cheap knockabout bike this would be a comparison I might make.

Re: New Shimano CUES groupset
Linkglide was said to incompatible with hyperglide due to different gear pitches although I've not seen a detailed explanation given they are fitting the same number of cogs in the same space.
Also I wonder if the 3x durability claim also holds when comparing to say 8 speed.

Re: DT Swiss Alum Nipples - any good?
In Gert Schraner's wheelbuilding book he comments:
"After several unfortunate experiences and subsequent tests, I now build rear wheels, be they for mountainbike or for the road, using at least double butted 2.0/1.8/2.0 mm spokes on the drive side - also very important - brass nipples. I simply refuse to use finer spokes or even aluminium nipples here."

Re: Shimano dynamo hub bearing service - impossible?
I think the DN-71 had an issue that one of the cones was prone to breaking as it was rather thin. I think this was addressed with the DN-72. Maybe something to consider.

Re: Shimano RDM650
Could ptfe tape be wrapped around the dust seal to fill the gap?
Hopefully someone will be along with a more convincing fix soon.

Re: Removing a wheel - what kind of nut is this?
Note that the rear skewer comes in 2 different length suitable for 130mm or 135mm dropout spacings.
If you are just after the 5 sided key either will be fine.
