>>2010206>for now i plan on riding it into the ground frenOkay, but you should check the wheel bearings on that from time to time, they wear out fairly quckly compared to a normal hub, and you can't replace them yourself, it has to be done by the manufacturer, and as I said SRAM may not be offering servicing of those anymore. Trying to do it yourself would result in wildly inaccurate power readings.
I've owned several of these hubs, and training and racing on a regular schedule, I'd have to send the wheel in to have the bearings replaced about every 2 years.
>what sort of races do you do?Road races and crits, with a few ITTs thrown in, but I suck at TTs so I rarely bother.
>>2010207FFS both valve caps weigh maybe a couple grams total and suddenly it's a big issue?
Yes, I've seen them get randomly damaged. I don't understand what the controversy is over this, just leave the damn things on, better safe than sorry.
>>2010209>can i do that with my powertap in the rear axle?You understand that the bottom bracket refers to the bearings the cranks are installed into, right? Your bottom bracket doesn't interfere with the rear hub at all.
I'm just pointing out that you could upgrade to that and avoid the annoying little problems that you get with pressfit BB's.
>>2010208Look for whatever wear indicators are present on those tires, and replace them if they're too worn. Rear tires will wear out faster and will get a flat spot in the middle. Tires can also get dried out over time and start getting these little cracks all through them, especially the sidewalls. When they get that old you're better off replacing them.
>>2010211Umm.. he's talking about swapping the *tires*, not the entire *wheels*, and you can't do that anyway.
You don't want to swap tires front-to-rear like that anyway. Rear tires wear differently than front tires and it'll affect your handling significantly. If they're getting worn just replace them.
