Orange Sub 5.

I thought it was a cool idea on their CX bikes.

Craft.

Tony sold the brand, so is on the sidelines so I hear (which is where he should have always been). The new Moment looks very nice.

Go for it. Looks good to me.

Also, still not sure about QR and discs. Having had bolt through on MTB for years, it just seems “better” in my opinion. And, as you can’t race it, what does it matter how quick your wheel changes are? Surely better braking and steering is, well, better.

What a load of rubbish.

Of course that never happens to Hope etc…

Novatec make hubs for many other brands.

China direct.

Loving my Force Hydro’s. Plenty of modulation and power.

I’m running full sram cx1 with a wolftooth 38T. Love it for my riding. Simple, smooth and quiet.

Yeah it’s the hub body nylon bushing. That’s that classic Crossmax scream.

You can get a conversion kit that changes that bushing to a bearing.

This is my beast Pukey 8)

CX’s are a giggle.

+1 for P X service, I swear folk who complain lead pretty sad lives who whinge and have similar views to that ginger woman on watchdog.

Maybe we could have the forum censored to reflect only your views and experiences.

I tried it a couple of times and think it ended up making it last longer.

Just rest and keep cold air off your lungs and chest.

Exciting innit. I have a new bike arriving in a few days.

Hope it isn’t a knackered Russian sub like the Kursk again. Those poor blokes.

Was a stunning morning. Warm with a slight breeze… 8)

Pfft, Royal Navy is ready if needed.

Civilian vessels ordered to leave the area. Perhaps Sean wants to talk.

There was a Freeborn Ad here on saturday….

Sounded like an Ad to off-load Ellsworth stock……

Any pics?

‘X Factor judge who can sing judges contestants.’
Where those the headlines? 😮

True, fair point.

Have you met him? Interesting guy…

The sexual tension between you two is strong.

Ah ok fair enough. You joined and your first ever post was like an advert!

Obviously not!….

Do you work for Freeborn?

did he cycle to work then?

Just get some conti protection trail kings. Beasts of tyres and seem to handle anything that’s thrown at them!

apart from anything remotely rough or rocky. Lasted 1 Lakeland descent for me before tearing and the same for several others I know. Probably brilliant at trail centers though.

Heard some very good things about the charge and top racers seem to love them. Apparently they are trying out a new charge with stronger side walls so that could be a great rear tyre for the rough stuff.

and when they deform… Had two deform on me this year, one so bad the tyre hit the frame. It’s a known issue on Conti’s…

Used Carbonal loads of times with no issues. Two frames still going strong, one still being used by a 16st ex international prop.

Used Carbonzone with no issues. Wheels have been reliable, well built with great finish.

I’ve had plenty of boutique brands in my time and the finish of the Chinese stuff has often been better. The last off the shelf buy was an On One Dirty Disco that was out of alignment to the point where the rear tyre rubbed – got told to use a smaller tyre and not the one they supplied and specced #retarded

Massive thread on MTBR about Chinese frames. You’ll get most questions answered there.

Wall to wall bling. Friendly blokes too.

Syntace Vectors

Serious lack of big hitters on this thread.

He’s probably in IT, and lives in Cobham Surrey…

I smell BS as usual…

Get ride of the wheel stickers.

Be thankful its bone 🙂

Will heal fairly quickly, ligaments, muscle and tendons however..

Cobham extreme rider has spoken.
