Those of you around 5’9″ with 31″ instep who went for a large can you get a 150mm dropper in? Cheers.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the “Stickler DH drop offs”? Cheers!

I had no problems getting my Schwalbes (albeit used ones) onto new mk3 flows………

I just had the same dilemma, I don’t think there’s anything in it really but decided to order some Flows from JRA which were slightly cheaper. Just waiting for them to be built now!!

Its a Maxle on my Argon TB.

Anyone know what size rear tyre you can fit in one of these, 2.5?

They recommended Ellis Brigham to me.

Some new Stantons now up on their website……..

Running standard RF Next cranks and working fine with XT 11 speed cassette.

I’m running the same as Fathomer.

Maxxis UK told me yesterday that they weren’t bringing in the 2.5 WT !……..

I’ve got a Maxxis Tomahawk 2.3 in the back and there’s almost 10mm clearance on the v2.

No problem on the V2, 38mm (31.6 internal) LB rims.

Could be because the new Fenix 3 HR is out soon which has the heart rate monitor built in – if that’s important to you?

Hope told me they were only doing the spacers etc for their front hubs, not rear hubs.

I’ve just had my rear LB rim re-built onto a new Hope Boost hub for £195 and will sell the old hub to recoup some of the outlay so won’t be too expensive.

Anyone want a nearly new black Pro 2 Evo 40t (32h) 12×142 hub with xd driver?!

Hi Mosey, sent you an email. I’ve got some nearly new Pike 160’s that might be of interest. Cheers.

There’s a review of the Heists over on Factory Jackson, he seems to like them!

Did anyone catch the Bronson geo?

And what travel are you running on the Pikes if i may ask?

We called in a month or so ago and it was open, great soup and cake!

I got myself one of these that would fit the bill for you.

That’s true Northwind, to be honest I was going to get some of the 29mm stuff from Superstar but couldn’t wait!

Having said that when you factor in the tape filling the dip where the holes are even the 29mm might leave this problem on the 30mm(IW) rims?

I have an 057 from XMI Play and the Shimano E Thru one fits that. It comes with the nut that you secure into the dropout with that little retaining screw.

Hope that helps!

I was debating the same thing. Just got 35mm LB rims and put the tape I had on which I think was 21mm – covered the holes easily enough but nowhere near full width. Anyway tyres (Specialised) went on easily, put some Stans fluid in, went up with a track pump straight away and held air overnight. I ran them at 20 & 23ish psi and survived the first ride without any burping or squirming, very impressed!

I couldn’t get the 16t dura ace to work but an XT 9 speed seems to fit and work ok on the work stand at least………

I had a 2008 ex9 and it was 31.6

Had the same dilemma and decided to go for the new cartridge in my Float 34. Only had one ride on it so far but seems loads better. It was £50 fitted at Mojo, I guess the float is cheaper than the talas, well worth it I think.

American Classics, come all set up ready to go!

Not sure if you’re looking for the old ones or new ones but I just picked up a set of M615’s from bike-discount.de for £80 which is hard to beat.

I’m normally a medium but got a large and it feels perfect for me. I’m about 5’10” and 31″ inside leg. Using a 60mm stem and plenty of room for the Reverb too.

Scroll down a bit and it should all make sense!

I think you need one of those integrated type headsets, like the FSA one that you put in the Kinesis FF29. I’ve just got an IP 057 from China and ordered one with it, only got it today so haven’t tried it yet but I understand you just push the bearings in and tension it all up with the normal stem bolt. Hope that makes sense, I think Bliss Bikes do those headsets, not sure if your Hope bearings will be the right size though as the right ones have a bevel on to get a tight fit.

Well I decided to go for one of those Chinese frames in the end, ordered it last week. From the tracking number i saw it was sent on Friday evening so you can imagine how gob smacked I was when I got home from work today there it was! Seems like it missed customs out completely! From a quick inspection it looks great, its one of these, can’t fault the service from the guys there:

I went for a 73mm BB and its got a 142×12 rear end. All in with custom Matt/gloss paint job, headset, spare mech hanger, Paypal fee and shipping it came to £420.

Only trouble is it got here so quickly I haven’t got all the bits for the build yet, will post some piccies later in the week.

Carlsberg brewery tour?!…………..

Check out the piece on Bikeradar front page today. They are saying add 4 links.

Race Face Narrow Wide chainrings now up on Wiggle, end June apparently.

Anyone know if you can get the frame only in colours other than the white and orange? There seems to be the option with the Pro model but not the others?…………..

This probably won’t help…..my new toy.

Thanks Mike, that looks like the kiddy, will try tonight and report back!

Yes Mike, using the vimeo upload button. I have googled the problem and seen that others have experienced it but couldn’t find a solution, will keep looking!
