Email Sam, he’s very helpful

ON-one have some big-apples cheap, which are a lot of fun…

Edit: Sorry the big apples are 29er, you’d need the super moto’s, which i think replaced the big apples anyway

:lol: @ jota

I had to put my card in the laptop and do a “quickformat” which restored it to working order.

Another vote for smudge at mtbbatteries, great service, great guy.

Good solid stuff ime

If it’s muddy forget the fire xc pro and go medusa or bonty mud-x

I’ve a large bfe in blue that I bought on a whim and not used yet. It’s in great nick. Email me if you’re interested my email address is in my profile.

si at progressive bikes had them cheap last i looked…

Bel air +1

Probably need a 29er version of the tyre to match the 29er rim… ;o)

I have the newer hx1 and it is surprisingly compliant and comfortable… However, I also have a swift and love that too…

Certainly can’t get my new beaver to go up…

Quite happy with my Jeldwen’s

I bought the thin and thicker ones from on-one, the thick ones seem ok but I put my fingers through the thin one twice whilst putting it on…

You’d be very welcome Stumpy, if you send me your email address I’ll add you to our mailing list so you can see what we get up to. (my email address is in my profile)

We generally do a Wednesday evening ride as well and some trips out, cannock, swinley, 3 days in Wales this coming May etc…

Hi Leewo, We meet across the road from Cross Keys Pub in Kings Cliffe every Sunday morning (7:30am) and go out for 2-3hours around Wakerley or the routes posted earlier in the thread.

Not much freeriding to be had round our way though.

My email address is in my profile if you want to contact me.

My combi (baxi) does this regularly. It is just the rubber diaphragm thats knackered again (usually)

This may help…

If there is not a centreline through the beams already you will have to add it to every beam. There could be a layer of centrelines which is simply turned off. Turn all your layers on, you may just then have to turn the beam layer off.

Link….?

+1 for yamaha

-1000 for over rated bose and just generally shit gear4

Mucky nuts fender bender

I prefer the feathers to the 7o’clocks but the 7o’clocks seem to last a bit longer….

Curry club sauces are by far the best jar sauces I’ve ever had, in fact I won’t eat a jar based curry unless it’s one of these and they have decent heat

Mmmm…. Great curry sauces….

Edit: grosman is dogshit in comparison

H&S and CDM…? how about Jobsworth Inc.

Flows, the 29er version is available as 36h, I bike packed my swift through the Cairngorms with 36h flows on hope pro2 hubs. They had a really rough time, properly bashed around, yet you wouldn’t know they’d left the shed. I am very impressed.

Micro 4/3 is the way forward if you want digital/compact/slr

Olympus PEN have some major cheap deals on at the mo…

I’ve just devised a local countryside route that takes in 9 pubs for a Christmas version of our Wednesday night ride… I imagine it’s going to be fairly messy…

Regarding rule #3, anyone who takes the centre bit with a cheeky ‘ooh, it’s the best bit’ gets stabbed in the face.

this +100

I did exactly that combination, Crests with yellow tape plus mud-x only a fortnight ago and they went up instantly and with a quick shake of the gunk sealed almost instantly.

Have you installed your yellow tape as per the Stans video guide?

Did you use a bit of washing up liquid on the rim?

Are your tyres clean?

EDIT: Can’t believe you use rimstrips with flows…

What they said… Dead easy even with a track pump…

oh god.. hope this isn’t my club mate.

Has he just got a nice madone then?

Recently got one of those olympus e-pl1, secondhand from here funnily enough. Getting superb results so far…

Really impressed!

Hmmm,

could you stand to go really cheap on the hubs? could you stomach (Gulp) Deore PG spokes and a DIY build for instance as it’s only the “B-Team” wheelset…

NOPE, deore hubs are poo

Well there’s where one of your issues with pricing your custom build. Can get spokes a lot cheaper than that.

Please guide me to a better price…

I’ve got a pair of white flows you could have for £85

Well Hold on there Cowboy, before you just flog your new rims…

Are your current hubs still any good?

If so there could be a “Cost benefit” to rebuilding your Current hubs with your posh new stans rims…

There’s no reason you HAVE to have a whole new wheel..

Yes my current hubs are fine, but so are the flow rims that are laced to them…

I was trying to get a spare set of wheels

TBH – if you’re not going to build the wheels yourself, or just getting an existing wheel rebuilt, then I’m struggling to see why you didn’t just look at the pre-built options to begin with.

Seeing the flow rims at £85 was too tempting… I bought them before adding up the rest of the costs…

Elf, is that a yes you want to buy them?

So, not much point in me buying myself some rims thens…??

Anyone want to buy some brand new white 26er Stans flow rims?

Charge spoon is good for me on short rides

SDG Bel Air RL is better
