Are there any crank arms totally silver? Would like to replace the black crank arms. And remove the bashguard for a more sexy one colour bike.

How does the crankset look like? Maybe toothbrush can reach?

Like this lo. Haha I'm okay with using toothbrush, scared later the degreaser stuck in the middle part and drip around after i lube removing whatever lubei put on.

Also is the chain condition bad or good currently from the image? Have never ever cleaned a chain before , cycling for close to 10 years of lokkok bikes..

I have C17S with centre cut out. Though is meant for lady, i find it very comfy. There's a C15, C15 Caved and C13 Carbon, should be very comfy since is Cambium range.

I've read that Cambium are more hype than actual performance. But it sure looks good. Fit my red wings.

Is there warranty on these brooks sadddles?

Use off the shelf chain cleaner those container type. Use paint brush to apply. Use toothbrush to scrub. Those cannot reach area leave until yearly servicing.

Managed to do it with normal pliers.

Didn't expect it to require so much force. Think it's because the power links are still relatively new in condition.

Will link q YouTube video if you guys wanna see it.

But essentially angle the pliers such that the links can be free-ed.

You have to press in in the middle of a powerlink. Using a finger to pinch middle and plier to kiap the 2 axles.

Soak cassette, soap and scrub chainring

Spin it fast to remove the most degreaser/kerosene/diesel/etc... then, wipe the remaining.

Use brush, spray degreaser onto cassette and clean..For chainring i will add in some cloth..

i rag cloth and floss between the cogs.. don't need degreaser.

[de5ert]

i have the antares, normal one, antares vsx, and the ares the tt saddle version

Was thinking of antares vs but not sure if I needed such deep cutout.
I used ardea vs last time, that was 5mm so the antares 7mm should be alright.
