    I’ve loosened the b tension screw as I think it was closer than 15mm.
    Will try it out again

    Did you degrease the thread first? I’ve only wiped clean with rag and used threadlock.
    Should it still work?

    That’s a good idea Northwind, saves me buying another cassette and chain:)

    New helmet light needed here!
    Is it worth getting an Exposure Joystick over a tactical light like a Fenix TK15?
    The Fenix is cheaper and has a massive beam range.
    Would the exposure create a more suitable beam pattern for looking ahead at the trail 20metres or so ahead?

    I went from a 2009 Yeti 575 to a Enduro Expert 650b.
    I’ve not been disappointed with the Enduro Expert, it climbs as well with hardly any pedal Bob and is more composed going down rough trails.
    Its just more efficient at everything once I got it set up:)

    Having the same issues with mine, the front 2 and rear 2 don’t come out evenly.
    Cleaned the best I can and with a small brush and cotton buds.
    Would it be safe to spray with brake cleaner to help clean them properly?

    Chicksands xc is roughly marked out and you can make up your own trails but Woburn is better in my opinion.
    Normally do the xc and then ride the bike park which is great fun and being developed all the time.

    Don’t use any gps, depending on when your about I could go for a ride unless you can take it from Strava.

    Live in St Neots, Chicksands and Woburn are only 1/2 hr away. Training loop across to Grafham round and back is 20 miles, dirty but not sticky:)

    Definitely the coolest full face I’ve had, I’m the only one in our group of riders that doesn’t remove there lid on pedalling up to come back down again. I replace the cheek pads for the thinner ones unless I’m on an uplift.

    Thank you for all your input:) I like the sound of carbon cranks, but I do have heard of the threads coming loose etc.
    Bennpinnick- I’m edging towards the X1 direct mount as I already have X1 basic cranks but in the wrong length for me.
    Adam, what are the lengths of the race face cranks?

    Thank you for all your advice, will be sticking to 11speed but would like shorter cranks as I’ve always run 170mm:)

    Thank you for your replies so far.
    Would a 3 speed or dual crankset have the better chain line for 11 speed?

    Could you clarify that an external bottom bracket and a bb30 require different types of cranks?

    Thanks for your reply, so a size smaller than your measurements would recommend?
    Which one did you go for and do you remove any pads?

    I had a similar problem, my wheels weren’t centred/ dished correctly.
    Low pressure can’t help though.

    Duckers- ive used Kevlar, sintered but I reckon that one piston on the front is more effective than the other, these will be relegated to the training bike.
    Thank you to everyone for your advice!!

    Go on local recommendations from family friends, ideally an independent instructor who doesn’t need to rely on big budget marketing to get the business.
    Ask to see their last check test result, prior to April this year a grade 6 or more recently a grade A is the highest mark they can achieve.

    Fsa mx orbit is 32.1mm in height and £16.99 on Rutland cycling
    and lasts ages but may not be low enough.

    Worcester have a fixed rate of £266 to repair/replace all parts if viable. Added a service to it for £326 just before Xmas.
    Had quite a few bits replaced including the expansion vessel which your problem could be.

    New v12 pedals bodies are made of cheese, hit two pins and bent the pedal body. Fortunately you can bend then back and replace the. Pins just as easy.
    Nano’s next time for me
