    Does that guide apply to the F series as well as the float?

    Just what I wanted to hear 🙂

    I'm buying a new bike to strip for parts which comes with juicy brakes and from what I've heard these are very comparable to deores but slightly lighter, in white and with a fixed clamp. However I have heard pad changes aren't as easy.
    So unless I really don't get on with the juicys I'll be keeping them and selling the deores.

    So is the mount adaptor universal or will I have to buy an avid one?

    Cheers

    …neither of which were my aim.

    And why do you keep changing what you post about 30 seconds after you post it? 😕

    Another valuation thread?

    *sigh*

    Not really helpful or productive.
    I'm just looking for some friendly advice on what sort of price I should be looking at…

    As for a sub 500g tyre…. why do you want one?

    Because it's for a lightweight XC bike, were I'm trying to save weight, and as it's rotational weight on the very outer edge of the wheel, tyres are probably the most important place to save it.

    Ah thanks for clearing that up stuartie_c. I think I'll give the tyres I have at the minute ago and if I can't get them to seal, give some tubeless ready ones ago.

    UST tyres are as light as normal ones?

    I've heard that the tyres are hard to seal (especially supersonic ones) but doable.

    Can someone please guide me towards a sub 500g UST tyre

    Most people tend to have too short a loop of outer between their last cable stop and derailleur so lengthening this may help.

    I know you said apart from getting a new derailleur but you should look at the "shadow" derailleurs as they have much cleaner cable routing with a less severe bend.

    A Charge Duster

    I’m currently selling one.

    Here’s it built up:

    Yeah I read that bit 🙁

    Perhaps now is the time to finally attempt the one bike mechanic skill that has alluded me…

    Rebuilding a wheel around a cassette hub!

    Freewheels have the cassette integral to the freewheel.

    Cassettes slide onto a splined freehub which is part of the whole hub.

    This is the former a freewheel

    This is a freewheel but so I need a freewheel specific tool not a cassette tool…

    You can get screw on freewheels but they are the bmx type and so would position the cog right against the hub whereas I need it further out for a good chainline.

    I was hoping there would be like a normal 7 speed freewheel but with only one cog positioned roughly in the middle

    SRAM rival is a road groupset so unless it’s a super light XC bike I doubt it.

    Conti Protections – Perhaps a Mountain King 2.4 (they’re quite small tires)

    I’ll hopefully be getting one, but does anyone know if iPhone 3G owners who bought one shortly after they came out last novemeber ish will have to pay a cancellation fee?

    P.S. I’m also selling an unlocked 1st Gen iPhone if anyone’s looking 😉
