Joking a side i never had a puncture over the 10 weeks I’ve done out there using DH tubes and Maxxis dual ply. Now using Exo on the Enduro and they seem ok.

Tighten all bolts, service suspension and take pads, and a bleed kit. My experiances are broken chain and i got brake fade once years ago- needed to use my camelback to cool the brakes down before i could continue. (Old avid brakes)

Big ring is 44T so guessing middle is 32T…don’t really want to buy a bigger middle to compensate unless I really miss my big ring too much. Is it a case of take the BB out, slip the Stinger on, reattach the crank minus the big ring and bolt on the bash?

Pretty much yes..

My mechanical that sticks in the mind was sitting on the lift looking at my bike on the chair in front and wondering what was dribbling from it… at the top found the banjo bolt thingy had come undone and drained pretty much all the brake fluid from the rear brake… thankfully I had packed a bleed kit.

Anyone know if these are good?
