+1 for boa wrench – most DIY or motor mechanics shops will have them inc Halfrauds as you can use them for taking oil filters off 🙂

In the link what is the metal piece that is used to support the freehub? Is that a genuine tool or something home made. Looks a nice idea to protect the freehub while working on it.

Its actually the seal insertion tool:

Its in the hope drift kit.

You can also get a hope support bush if you dont want to use the wood supports: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8031

Used to support and protect the hub/wheels when fitting and removing bearings from hubs.

Have a look here as well – I presume the chain and jockey wheels are free running?

yeah wont sell fox’s outside US – still think a service and upgraded internals best for me 🙂

poo – won’t ship to UK 🙁 Thanks for the info though!

Pretty straight forward 🙂

Maybe ask Locotuning of TFtuned?

Just shows you how quickly your on the deck – always amazes me when I look up and see daylight and its all over so quickly then the pain kicks in 😉

Yup on a post-weekend ride high ATM 🙂

You can damage them replacing them though captain?

Nope they don’t sell free hub drifters but sockets are OK to use – IIRC they suggest the old ones can just be bashed out any old way and then the new ones pushed in by hand (never managed that myself)

@OCB – I have a Garmin Edge 800 but also had a 705 before and all worked in the Cleave – look for the ones with the new srif star III chipsets work well 🙂

@Lady – the elevation diag was used by exporting the recorded GPX into the old Garmin Forerunner program and then clicking view. I have uploaded the .zip file here if you want it:

Nice pics mate – nice to finally meet you Crispy 🙂

Yeah – lovely dry trails, Gnar to the Gnar DH section (hard climb back up) and some lovely cheaky links – 3 trails I have also never ridden 🙂

Thanks for a fab day guys esp Trailmonkey et al – some very nice descents I never knew of there which I WILL be revisiting 🙂

Yes (sorry for the late reply!)

Uplink – you mistook what I was saying – I agree with a bit of grease – it’s just the liberal grease will get wiped off (bit of a waste of grease ) 🙂

i.e.

Right – as luck would have it I have tomorrow off now (someone swapped to work Sat!) so i’ll see you all at 10.30 🙂 (TM obviously I wont need to meet you all at Houndtor CP now 😉 )

I got SP41 ages ago and still using it 🙂

Yum – Salt – mmmmmm

@Fuzzy – you trying to shift you old discard bin stuff again ? 😉

TBH all that grease will be stripped off anyhow when you push the axle in?

Weigh a ton.

Sorry missed the weight limit in the OP 🙁

What about the Red metal ones on on-ones site for £299?

http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/WPFUREME1/fulcrum-red-metal-1-ust-mtb-wheelset

Just bought a pair and look good (fully tubless) – I bought a few spoke spares (which are a bit dear £7 each) just in case but reviews seem very good (also without spoke breakages 😉

does NYFA2UQJ work?

Just a matter of time – I thin discs on CX are still in infancy so its a stop gap – if discs take off then I expect full hydro STI’s will ikely be on the cards?

BTW if I am not at Houndtor carpark at around 1.30 then obviously don’t wait esp if I get caught up at work 🙂

I have had 4 pairs of fox and no hasn’t happened to me as I service mine regularly – My 2011 F120’s are great – Kashima def more robust and the seal are better – I had a very tiny amount to scoring on my Talas forks coz I was a bit lazy – also fitted some enudro seals and that has stopped any further damage.

If you regularly do a seal clean you’ll be fine is my recommendation. (regularly depends on how often you use your forks!)

If its a bigish enough group i.e 8-12 we stayed here:

Penybont

Not sure if that’s a new model but the old ones were OK from posts on here.

Spoke Reflector: Got some the last time – perfect for winter commuting 🙂

As above is a hydraulic disc barke to cable STI converter for CX bikes

edit: too late

I wonder if they will come out eventually with a full hydraulic brake STI?

Hydro-cable box for the cx guys

Bash guards 🙂

Might stop you having burping/sidewall issues mid race run now then eh?

Actually that was a burp and a huge slash 😉 Was never going to inflate again that minion – its in the trash as it has 3 holes in it 🙁

That rock garden at Eastridge Enduro stage 4 killed a few tyres/rims I bet!

LOL – I can see it not – LOL – a few 4 letter words?

PP +1

Sorry I wanted to make it so inaccurate for the masses to follow 😉 Because its a local trail for local people (and guests) 😉

Well its one of those more balls than skills ones – but – when your already blowing out your @rse it aint so easy on a race! with skinny tyres and 100mm travel not so easy I reckon!

gotcha 🙂
