RIP my mate Troutie

ahhahahaha! 😀 Still alive and kickin with all my teeth
… “now 29er” is still running superb, I don`t need a new frame, cheers anyway!
only component change is a 222mm DHX Air shock

… long travel 29ers?? yep, loads of fun!! 😀 😀

Kudos wobbem! i like it!!

.. and, here`s my 29er Heckler,
I posted it on the Santa Cruz forum over on MTBR…

Heckler 26,… now 29er! 🙂

………see what you make of their comments!! lol 🙂

valve/tape interface is the weakest link
how old is the installation?

… for 100% reliability, re tape it

if your doing the red route,
then start/finish at the visitors centre!!

extremely cheap
100% effective
easy to rinse off
… caustic soda, (Sodium Hydroxide)
it turns gunky grease and oil… into soap!

… now your off tubeless can i recommend that you get some proper UST tyres and save yourself some grief regarding sealing with Stans etc
i fitted a pair of Maxxis Ardent UST tyres well over a month ago with the intention of injecting the stans fluid in the very next morning
… i still havnt got round to it and theyre still hard despite riding over a couple of hundred off road miles! 🙂

Flows are not UST rims
100% reliability is your best friend

join the club sheeps, mine went too,
2 plastic driveside spacers doesn`t leave much thread on Hope BB,

agreed they size up smallish, but i love my prophet, the Prophet sl has a 190mm shock for even slacker angles, had mine down to 22-23lb , some nice variations on MTBR, …
MTBR, post your prophet

great!, i would like to do this too

tooltray?? Junk!!

🙄

i say there are better/cheaper alternatives,
even on a very clean very smooth surface it lacks grip …
eg, Silicone Sealant adheres 100x better and is loads cheaper

there is an easy to find entrance on the A159,
said entrance is directly opposite a company that makes sheds,

[/quote]sandal100.. Where did you get the lower bearings from?
Are they the metal seal version

Bearings with a metal shield are not sealed they are shielded
Bearings with a rubber seal are sealed

Didn’t need any tape in on my Mavic UST rims,
UST ready rims don`t have valve spoke holes.

FTFY

Keep your backpack as light as possible!!

You`ve just reminded me why i prefer to cycle

Isis for me, i`ve had it with X Type too!
