There is no lack of information out there when it comes to bike maintenance and care. The issue is discerning what is accurate.  This is why I'm introducing RogueMechanic Support and RogueMechanic Membership.
Mont Mavic is undoubtedly not the hill that I am willing to die upon, but it is one that I am inclined to put up a proper fight in defense of. The past year or so has been a challenge, to say the least, for the Mavic loyalists globally.
Frequently I get questions about where I am located and subsequently questions about international shipping (if I ship to a specific country, etc.). First of all, I am based in the US, and secondly, yes, I do ship internationally...

If you have been an owner of any Mavic wheel that has Zircal spokes and their FORE rim design, there’s a good chance that you have had to deal with the issue of the spokes seizing
These shims are essential at sucking up any excess gap between the mated UT cranks and the bottom bracket. No clunk, and perfect centerline set mean no noise. In my case no noise in any gear ratio. I highly recommend these if you are a campy addict
I used this kit to accommodate for the inner ring of a 53/39t bottoming out on the chainstay - the frame builder hadn't dimpled the tube to account for this, so only a compact would clear. This shim kit allowed me to push the DS cup out by 0.5mm, allowing the standard Campy UT crank to clear. Perfect. Customer support was excellent: I asked about my particular problem and got a personal call to discuss it.
Had a local bike shop say they couldn’t help with replacing a broken spoke. After an online search I found RogueMechanic, and they were awesome in being able to quickly ship the hard to find spoke at a an affordable price and even provided a quick hand-written note of thanks. I will definitely be back in the future.
Fast shipping, got my rim within a week. Just wish there were more parts available, as most of them are selling out. Overall, good prices for what they do have.
Original rim finally cracked on my old Ksyrium ES rear wheel. Really liked the wheels and this replacement gave me a cost effective way to save the set. New Rim trued up well after install (weld seam was a little tricky). Ridden on several rides and the rim has stayed true. Very satisfied.
I ordered my Mavic part ,I live in the UK ,it was the only place in the world I could find it ,it arrived from Ohio within a week !! I thoroughly recommend Rogue Mechanic , thanks again Rogue Mechanic.
Very nice and helpful people. Fast response. Excellent information through all stages of freight, all the way to Sweden. I will definitely return next time I need spares. /Jan Andersson
I have a Pinarello F4/13 with Mavic wheels. A spoke broke, and all the bike shops that I checked no longer carried any Mavic parts. I was able to find rogue mechanical online, and they not only had the part, but they were very good at communicating and responding to my questions.
As a shop, I need spokes for repairs. With the world of bikes, finding the right spoke, for the right model year, for the right variant in build, Rogue Mechanic shines as a resource for finding the right part the FIRST time! Thank you!-Chad@ SSC Bike Repair, Old Fort NC.
