    Can’t you just remove the large ring or do you want a 2 x 10 specific?

    From experience this is my opinion.
    On a budget £25k to £30k
    Higher spec £30k to £50k+ and you could easily spend up to £60k, £75k+ depending on what you want, level of finishes and spec and any unforeseen work that may crop up. It would be possible to do it cheaper if you did some of the work yourself or had family or friends that could help out. Shop around loads for kitchens and materials too

    I give my forks a quick spray before most rides and after 3 years my forks still look like new after regular use in mud, grit and general crap. In comparison some of the guys I ride with don’t use the stuff and their newer forks are showing much more wear. Could be down to load of factors but for the cost why not give your forks a spray now and again?

    What’s the difference between summer mud and winter mud?

    I like the way it is and don’t like many other forums as I can’t stand the navigation and layout. Keep it nice and simple

    Hope for me as

    I’d rather not change mine regularly and have a brand new super slick one every 10 months all the time.

    Hope ceramic 3 years so far and still like new

    Depends what you want to do. If trail centres then Cwmcarn is reasonably close but not local, and a little further away you have Forest of Dean. If natural trails then plenty of local stuff around, just need an OS map. I can forward gpx routes of some of the recommended routes in ‘Wales mountain biking book’ for natural trails in that area if you forward your email address. I haven’t done all of them though so couldn’t comment what their like.

    Main reason (for me) is not having any punctures (so far).

    No need to look for holes as they fix themselves unless their big gashes. Yeah a small amount of gunk is inside the tyre

    If your happy to fit your own you can get the tow bar kit for around £75 ish and electrics kit for around £25 ish from here. Takes about an hour and not particularly hard but you will need to remove the bumper and rear lights to install. Apparently the Witter ones are slightly easier to install but I guess you get what you pay for

    Reclamation yard / architectural salvage may give you a better price

    I went tubeless around 6 weeks ago and can’t give any reasons why you shouldn’t give it a go. A lot easier to set up than I expected, maybe I got lucky on tyre and rim choice, but I did use the ghetto tubeless inflator.

    I orignally wanted my remote on the left hand side upside down, but due to the configuration of my brakes and shifters the remote just won’t fit so it’s on the right hand side at the top and works just fine.

    Straitline defacto pedals. Not cheap but they’re wide and grippy

    Haven’t bought anything from them myself but there’s been good feedback for them from various people on here. Have a look at HDEW cameras see if they’ve got what you want. Uk based with similar prices, I bought my canon n lenses from there.

    Nearly used them before but found a lot of negative comments about them and the lack of an actual uk store put me off. Went to hdew cameras in the end which had similar prices and better on some items. Choice of items available from hdew recently seem limited to what it was a few months back tho

    I contacted mojo about this and they said thats how its meant to be. (obviously not meant to leak if your bike’s upside down but oil on the stanchion after use is normal)

    edit: heres the email response from Mojo…

    “What your experiencing is normal, we often find after doing dust wiper seal maintenance that the Float fluid will show on the stanchions, this is what the dust wiper seal is designed to do; keep the dirt from getting in to the lowers and effecting the internals. It is important to stay on top of thew maintenance after every 15 hours of use. We recommend using the 10wt green suspension fluid available here – http://www.mojostore.co.uk/acatalog/Fox_Fluids.html.”

    Bit slow to dispatch, had to call them to chase it up but as soon as they did it arrived within 3 days. They couldn’t give a reason why it took them 5 days to dispatch as all items were in stock but when I called they said it will be in the post that day.

    Never done anything to mine other than chuck it in freezer. Perfectly clean even after over 3 years of constant use

    Edit: although I only ever use water, never energy drinks, squash etc

    Granted the parking was something else. Bumpers were used for what bumpers are designed for!
