How to Bleed Tektro Auriga Comp Disc Brakes

A question I've wanted to ask for a while now. From a personal point of view, what have you found to be the positives and negatives of these two valves? What would your preference be?...

Hey all, I'd love some feedback on a repair issue. I just got the brakes bled and the first ride after was fine. But after one week of sitting idle, I took it out and the rear brake was suddenly making a horrible loud screeching noise when applied. Took it back to the shop and the mechanic showed how the two halves of the brake were not perfectly aligned and holding firm and there was oil leakage....

Only started a month ago No luck in sorting it ! .. have had pads, rotor and caliper all replaced and it makes very little difference (all are clean, aligned and functioning as they should) Absolutely no problem on the rear.

My friend is having this issue where the axle keeps slipping in the rear dropouts and hit the chain stay on the non-drive side.   IMG-20260418-WA0021.jpg (Size: 82.12 KB / Downloads: 66) This usually happens when a lot of force (climbing on a high gear or standing to sprint) is applied. It’s worse when the bicycle is loaded up with camping gear on the rear rack. Things tried th...

Hello everyone, I'm an older lifelong cyclist that recently had my beloved old yeti mountain bike stolen, and to try and fill that void, I picked up a 2015 Specialized Crosstrail (I'm riding more paved and gravel trails these days, my full-on mountain bike days are over!). The bike was in very good physical condition, apparently very lightly used. I was unable to ride before purchase, but it looke...

Hello! I tried to change my Velowave ranger e-bike breaks and the lever would not have traction. I researched and learned I needed to bleed the breaks, I tried the top method with the cup with a break bleeding kit. Still had the same issue, I tried to use the syringe at the caliper but the hole was too small for any of the included adapters. Is it just trapped air in the calipers/line that is ca...

Will my conversion work? I have an old 2014 Giant Trance 1. It is a small frame. It is just a backup bike. It is still fun to ride and works well when a friend is or family member is visiting and bikeless. I hate sending things to the land fill or not being able to keep them repaired and running. I already replaced the fork a couple of years ago. I already found some parts and converted to a ...

Remember the Shimano law suit? Fortunately I had the"good model series" Thousands of riders trusted these components without a second thought. Now, the story has taken a serious turn. Shimano has agreed to pay an $11.5 million penalty after US regulators found the company failed to report a major defect in its 11 speed road cranksets on time. According to the CPSC, Shimano had received thou...

Hi there, I have a question in regards to either finding a replacement hub for my rear Mountain Bike or just replacing the whole wheel entirely. However when I went to a local bicycle shop (in China, that is so there are language barriers to keep in mind), upon inspection they claimed that the bicycle was too old to accept the replacement of their modern parts, which I honestly find hard to believ...

My sensation crossroads cruz needs a rear derailleur. I need to verify which shimano part and shifter will work. Thanks Bob...

I haven't been riding a bike for about two years, before that I was riding it extensively for about 5 or more years. It is a 26 inch mountain bike (if that matters at all). The bike was just staying on flat tires for these two years. After i decided to put the bike to life again so to speak I started to get inner tube punctures (punctures on a tube from the inner side, the side not facing the road...

These are Noleen NR-1 shocks on an old Girvin ProFlex MTB. How do I get a grip on the preload adjuster? There is very little surface area & there are no notches for a typical spanner & a pipe wrench, vice grips, etc. which are sure to mar the springs if I can even get them in there to grip it. The working space on the fork shock is especially tight. See attachment photos. Thanks!  ...

Hi there, I recently bought some new wheels for my brand new specialized sl8 expert which runs sram rival axs. Everything is great except gear 12 (smallest cog) is now rejected (red and green LED flashes) in large ring. All other gears run fine. I notice as well that in the large ring it allows me to be in gear 1 which is cross chain? Is that normal? Any ideas what I need to do? Is it a limit sc...
