- Is this amount of hub play normal? Noticed it when I was changing the chain (I'll change the sprockets in a bit just needed the chain cos it was on its last legs ((there was no more adjusting and it was already out of spec at that point)) but the shop…
- What is and how do I go about fixing this mystery bubble Not sure if it was there when I first got the bike but I don't think it was, noticed it a few weeks after I got it. It's soft and squishy like there's some liquid (gas?) inside and it's growing slowly as it used to be…
