Ride rided in the afternoon. Back to the winter gear, xxxx that wind was cold. Nice and dry though. And actually not that many people about for a holiday day, wimps don't like cold winds obvs.
Time to do something creative culinary wise, lamb involved, and pour a glass. Or 2. Or.0 -

Morning, motorbike ride this morning then new bicycle fettling this afternoon.
Fettling has discovered that the long cage Apex 1 rear derailleur isn't compatible with a smaller range cassette, in that it seems to be impossible to set up the gear shifting properly (going from 12-42 to 11-28). Doh!
Only short cage derailleur in their 1x range is the top of the range Force. Bit annoying, should have checked the SRAM compatibility chart shouldn't I.
Luckily only £80 on CRC instead of the usual £200ish (and actually in stock). Result.0 -

Next door's black cat came to hide in the shade, I think he was a bit warm.
Decided I should get round to replacing that freehub body:
Which has involved cleaning up a rusty cartridge bearing a repacking with grease because LBS is shut for bank hols.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I'm an idiot. B-screw adjustment has sorted it. Saved myself £80.1 -
I was thinking it was a bit weird as I use a 28 or 30 cassette with a long cage Rival on a 1x on the Boardman in Italy and it works perfect but as I had had a couple of glasses of vino I didn't want to post up FAKE NEWS mistakenly.
Tip top tastic that its worked out though - any piccies of the bike?.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

I thought it was an excuse to splash out on shiny new bits. I've been cleaning up the bits off the damaged Boardman CX I stripped getting them ready for the bamboo frame. That has a Rival long cage and 1x set up. Do I build wheels up using the rear hub with an XD driver and wide range cassette or use a standard freehub and have access to cheaper cassettes in future?
Also what rims? Carbon, Ali or wood? But wood would necessitate tubs.0 -
carbon deep rim. why would you possibly do anything else?

Yeah I'd just swapped out the 42t cassette with 28t so knew exactly what the issue was in terms of why it wouldn't shift properly (upper jockey wheel being too far south of the cassette etc). Clearly was just having a brain fart by forgetting about the b-screw, maybe it's because it's been so long since I've had to touch one.MattFalle said:I was thinking it was a bit weird as I use a 28 or 30 cassette with a long cage Rival on a 1x on the Boardman in Italy and it works perfect but as I had had a couple of glasses of vino I didn't want to post up FAKE NEWS mistakenly.

Don't think it helped that the SRAM compatibility manual says the long cage isn't compatible with 28t.
Clear head this morning resulted in the Eureka moment. Popped back out and sorted in a few seconds.
No pics to hand of the bike, just this of the cassettes.

I got abuse for my 34t inner front ring so it only seems fair that you get abuse for that cassette.nibnob21 said:

Indeed, I was kicking myself yesterday for not foreseeing the problem in the first place, then kicking myself this morning for not seeing the obvious fix yesterday haha.0 -
