    Used a 26 storm last winter and was excellent. No reason to think the 29 is any different.

    Agree daver27, I’ve looked at the bearings myself but can’t find them at £20 for 10, you must know some special supplier, where’s the linky??
    I also need bearings for my front hub, 23x32x7 i believe. Can you post a linky to those as well?? Much appreciated.

    Must be a Stanton Switchback surely?! They look awesome…especially in green

    I didn’t need to see that 😯

    Don’t know the cost of them, won’t be cheap tho’ knowing SRAM. As for replacing them, it’s just a case of knocking them out. See HERE for details.

    29 smorg on the back here. Seems good in all conditions, running it tubeless, no problem getting it inflated.

    Sided bearings dont like going the wrong way round.

    Thanks parkesie, I can now see the issue, was wandering how different they can be from normal bearings.

    FYI THIS is the SRAM service guide pdf showing how to replace the bearings and specifically telling you about the red seal facing outwards. I wouldn’t have thought it mattered, but it obviously does. Also this issue has not been resolved, i’m still waiting for replacement bearings under warranty, on a plus note though Planet X have emailed me 3 times today rather than the once in 2 days they were doing before I wrote in this forum!! Hello Planet X People 🙂

    Cheers junkyard, I started to question myself for a minute. Have I spent £2,500 on a bike or £3 on a pair of socks 🙁

    @tomhoward, how long shall I give Planet X to sort this as we are now entering the third week since original contact about this?

    Agreed I am angry with SRAM. But I can’t take my case up with SRAM as all warranty issues need to be taken up by where you made the original purchase, hence Planet X.

    As said just do W2 and add the blade in if you feel up to it. Skyline is just mileage on fire track, not much to get you grinning 🙁

    Fair play FunkyDunc, I think the more measures of security you have the better. I also have one of those alarmed padlocks on my bike. Just attach it to the side of the bike against the wall and if anybody tries to move the bike they get 120db of siren in their ears. 😀

    @FunkyDunc – If I broke into your shed and the alarm went off I wouldn’t hang around. I’d take your unchained bike and ride as fast as I could 😉

    What happens when you’re not at home though? Any amount of bells and whistles doesn’t stop theives taking your pride and joy. Get yourself a ground anchor installed and then chain your bike to it with one of THESE[/url]
    Bolt croppers don’t even mark it. I have both my bikes anchored to the garage wall with these chains and locks on both.

    In simple terms Yes. Out of the box they are great, set them up correctly and they are superb. I could go on and tell you everything great about them that you have already read but, the only thing I will say is that I have done 400+ miles without an issue. Been to Afan for 3 days, rode Lee & Cragg Quarry and numerous rides in the Peak District and they have impressed me in every situation.

    I’d used superstar for ages but the last lot I had from them didn’t last long and I noticed the pad material was a different colour so wandered if they had changed supplier. My next purchase from uberbike were top notch, will definitely be using them again.

    Yep ridden Macc Forest few times myself. If there’s anything we need to look out for please share 🙁

    I found that lifting my stem by just 5mm helped me. I suffered with my back for a while and after trying different things to help it was the fact that I’d lowered my stem in the first place that was causing me issues. I went as low as I could without straining the muscles at the bottom of my back. Hope this helps.

    So wanted Mr Diabolo to pronounce “You’re my wife now” in a Pappa Lazarou sort of way. Weird and wonderful though Ed. The last scene is very well executed, you must be pleased with that? How the hell you’ll get rebuilt for the next one heaven knows.

    I’ve had my medium in blue from day 1 and can say it’s am absolutely brilliant bike to ride. So far i’ve thrown it around Lee and Cragg quarry, Cannock Chase, Sherwood Pines, loads of local xc stuff, it just puts a huge smile on your face. Padals great, climbs well, lands off jumps with a reassuring thud, very stable at speed, all round top bike.

    Anyone who’s gone tubeless on the stock build – what rim tape width did you use on the Pacentis?

    I had some 25mm stans tape left that worked for me. Went up a treat too. 🙂

    It’s a middle-ring climb…

    Must have been the 263 mile, four and a half hour drive there in the morning, then Glentress, Then onto Innerleithen in the afternoon, with a head wind all the way to the top that did it. 🙄

    @Jeffs, that 5 mile climb at Inners is a killer. I was there a few weeks back and we had a head wind all the way to where your photo is. Epic fun going down the other side though 😀 Enjoy your riding up there, not jealous at all.

    Has anyone gone tubeless? Just done mine and my cassette and xd body fell of the hub. Tried to undo the cassette but it’s just spinning on the xd body. Looks like another phone call.

    Never got a phone call back from on one. Make of that as you will.

    So what did it say on the website when you ordered the bike from the website?

    It said what I’ve written, and when I got my order confirmation on the 4th April it never mentioned any crank set. So with that in mind wouldn’t you think you were getting what is pictured and described as an SRAM X01 transmission?

    gamerriley
    Free Member

    I don’t want people to think i’m getting wound up about this, i love this bike and have been a fan of on one for many years. I’ve only ridden it once and it put a huge smile on my face. It’s also the first bike I’ve owned with wagon wheels and a component spec like this, so all this X1, X01 and XX1 is all new to me. I’m sure if people knew what they were getting they would still have purchased this bike, it’s a great spec for the money. I don’t want to give my bike back, as I can see people saying that, “if you’re not happy send it back for a refund….blah,blah,blah”
    No…I’m very happy with it, love it in fact, and still love on one. But when it comes down to it on one are a business, and being in business myself we all need to make and save money wherever possible. What I don’t like though, and this is not just on one, is when businesses or companies try to deceive, misrepresent, delude,… call it what you will, you into believing something that you will not get. Most people would have heard of The Sales of Goods Act, it is there to protect everybody who enters into a contract with a trader. The main points of this act to note are that:
    1. The items must be of satisfactory quality.
    2. Do as they are intended or designed.
    3. (most important) Be as described, matching any pictures or descriptions of them.
    4. Be safe.

    So number 3, as described and matching pictures. Well clearly the picture is of an X0 crank, not X1. and the description in the bullet points states “SRAM X01 1×11 transmission” In the detail the description is as follows “A flagship frame like this needs a partner in crime, and we’re not settling for anything less than SRAM X01 1×11 transmission”

    Again I want to make perfectly clear that I love the bike and would have purchased it anyway. But when you’ve been shown and read what you could have had, deep down it makes you feel a little short changed. Being in business i’m constantly telling myself that the customer is always right and that customer is king. Spending a little here could have huge returns in customers later. I’m sure that Brant and the guys at on one will look into this and do the right thing, not just for on one but for their loyal customer base who purchase their bikes without even seeing one. For now the ball is in their court.

    Brant also needs to apologize to every website that has previewed their bike and stated X01 groupset which made everybody think that meant crankset too. What components actually make up the groupset then?
