What brakes are you running? Could you use a matchmaker?

EBB all the way, mine in my singular has been faultless, who wants the faff of sliding dropouts everytime you have a puncture etc…

Honourablegeorge has got it! You need Fatter tyres!

As this is impossible to predict, in bridgeworks we use load indicating washers in order to provide confirmation of the tensile load.

On the bigger bolts it is sometimes impossible to provide the necessary torque to squash the load indicating washer without lubrication to rotating faces in contact.

HT all the way, don’t drag that heavy 5 all the way around that lovely loop, it’s definitely cross country and not technical, my friend broke his genius on day 1 and hired a HT and was happier on that..

This?

OK looking, tough, solar powered, stop watch etc…

Seems your big fat 1.9’s are pretty small compared to my big apples binners….

None of these are fun answers! 🙄

The only mud tyre with a bit of cush is the beaver, mud-x is harsh in comparison both 2.0
