    Tuesday. Have yours been dispatched? Just waiting for the parcelforce shipping reference to go live so that I can find out when it’s being delivered as I doubt it will be tomorrow so may need to get a house sitter for Tuesday.

    Good stuff. Parcelforce still aren’t telling me when it will be delivered though. It’s updating every hour or so so shouldn’t be long

    Mine have been delivered. And they really are a bargain for £180. Lets see how they ride tomorrow

    Yeah mine have arrived too. They are now decorating my lounge. Need to get some mud-xs now and will fit those. Seem really good. ONly concern I have is the lack of sealing between the adapters and the bearings. The front ones pull off very easily too.

    Never noticed the lack of sealing in the adaptors but then I didn’t pay much attention. Aye they would decorate your room with the gold hubs 😛

    Adaptors on my chargers do fall off aswell, will put some grease twixt bearing and adaptor me thinks to hold em on.

    Just got mine too.
    The adapters on my Black Flags were pretty tight. When spinning the front, I could feel a little click, hopefully this will bed in…

    The chargers felt very smooth.

    Right… finally trying to put the tyres on. Got a Panaracer Fire XC Pro which went on with relative ease and I’ve managed to pump it up. As expected from a piddly xc tyre the sidewalls leak like net curtains. Am I right in thinking that the little stans bottle will seal the tyre walls as well as the rim/tyre bead?

    Yeah. My rocket rons pumped up dead easy with tubeless. Usualy my tubeless take years to seal.

    Cool will go and put some sealant in now and see how it fares… may wait until the mrs leaves the kitchen as have a feeling I may have some seepage that she won’t appreciate!

    That was actually easier than I thought [providing it stays up]. Going to need to buy my own track pump though I think.

    MudX was a nightmare to install but I’m all up and running. Not sure if I should put some extra sealant in the fire xc pro as it isn’t a tubeless tyre? Other than that all up and running

    Shorty121

    It shouldn’t need any more sealant I don’t think
