Anyone change to a 36T on their Capra?
Any dramas with this, eg. with chain length?

Im used to 32F X 34R on a Transiton Bandit at the minute, about to pull the trigger on a Capra very soon, so I'm thinking 36T X 42R should be fine on the Capra.

ive thought about it, i was used to a 32f and 36r on my orange 5 previous to the capra, since owning the capra think ive used the 42 on the rear once but that was a mega steep climb and probly quicker walking up than riding, but i usually find myself in too easy a gear when it comes to the flowy bits etc and just needing a quick spin of the pedal to help the flow, but im not in the 10/11 cog at the back so just need to get used to the 11spd a bit more before swapping to a 36t on front,

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the silver 2015 pro race model, would have preferred the grey and black prototype colours or for them to just stick with last year's white and black.

The Alu models are likely to be very popular.

Do you guys feel any play of the fork in the headset/headtube?
If I seat on the bike, lean one grip against a wall and then push with my feet/hips, the fork moves inside the headset...
I noticed the play while test riding the bike tough... then I used the "against the wall test" and it confirmed the play.

You probably need to tighten your headset. Loosen the two clamp bolts on the stem. Tighten down the top cap another 1/4 turn. Maybe more depending on how loose your headset is. Not too tight. Re-tighten stem clamp bolts and you should be all set.

I already tightened the headset bolt and if I take as example my previous bike, I think it is more tight than it should, however the steering moves freely, and I can still feel the play...
The weird thing is that the play is not back and forth it's lateral play.

I will disassemble the headset and then re-tight all the parts to see if it gets better...

make sure your steerer tube is not touching the top cap and not letting it adjust up properly
