Can anyone tell me what the taper is on a tuees carbon lower headset bearing

It's a 40mm x 52mm x 7mm. I'm just not sure if it 45 or 36 degrees on the taper

Cheers Stu

Anyone know off hand the size of the lower headset bearing on a tues CF pro?

My headset keeps coming loose and my mate changed his and its been fine since

This may sound a bit silly but it has been a very common issue with the headsets this year. Toss another 5mm spacer in there and snug 'er down. Many of the steerer tubes were left just a hair too long and won't tighten down properly, especially with the top cap sitting below the top crown. Food for thought and a lot cheaper if it works.

Does anyone what the format is the date for when a bike is available on the site?? Is it MONTH.DAY.YEAR or DAY.MONTH.YEAR??

The TUES COMP in Canada say 09.03.16 so Im trying to figure out if its available in March or if its not until September. Really hoping its not September haha

Thanks for the help!

Well I just ordered a Tues Pro from the US website *Super stoked BTW* and it is scheduled for early May.... Availability for the Tues Pro on the US website reads 05/04/16, however if I switch to the CA website it reads 04/05/16 for the same bike. I think its safe to assume that the 09/03/16 on the CA website is DAY.MONTH.YEAR Smile

Looks like your Tues has much more sentiment to it now Shinysideup, just reading news that Kelly McGarry has passed age 32 of cardiac arrest.

Absolutely mortified, the world has lost such an inspirational mountain biker, ride in peace Kelly!

My mate brought the 2015 YT TUES. he paid 1500 as the prices are so low because they sell direct and yes they do ship to the uk. his came within two weeks of ordering. the bikes amazing and it has sram x9 shifters which you get on a bike worth £3500. i was looking at commercial supreme v4. there similar to yt as they sell direct as well but there not quite the same spec and are a bit more money.

73-74 kg equiped. Default size M rate on vivid, 225lbs. Slightly soft? perhaps, it seems fine, yet I need more time to figure it out. At the most it'd be 250lbs.
