    I’ve got the same hub and adaptors and getting no play with Fox QR15 forks.

    Are you sure it’s not your brake pads rattling?

    I use a Forerunner 305 for running and riding. Works well for me as I can wear it on wrist or on the bars. Use it with HRM and as a bike computer the accuracy is bob on. But limited in terms of mapping capability. No need for speed or cadence sensor IMO.

    That’s how I’d cook it as well, with some red wine and juniper berries

    I run 22/36 with an 11-32 cassette in the Peak and it works just fine. You will probably spend more time in the granny ring than you do with a 22/32/44 but otherwise no probs.

    Thanks Peter – don’t understand how the seals get lubed when forks upside down if the cartridge is sealed?

    Apparently not

    Me too but I’m a numpty when it comes to the inner workings of forks hence the question :-)

    I have a set of Louise BAT which are OK – as someone else said not great for small hands and the lever throw seems longer than it needs to be – also think I prefer Shimano lever shape – but pretty effective brakes otherwise

    Before I went 15mm I used to find that my 20mm adaptors rattled around a lot when the wheel was off but once in the forks with the Maxle done up there wasn’t any play

    UST EVO version here Steve – seems to cope well with Peak rock – suspect the sidewalls are stronger than non-UST version – not much help unless you want to go tubeless though – cheers James

    Well I have a Ti456 and in the past I’ve had a Soul and a Soda (and a steel 456 for that matter). The Ti456 is definitely stiffer than a Soda but then I also thought the Soul was stiffer than a Soda. But the Ti456 is lighter than a Soul. The 456 fits me better than the Soda did but they’re both nice frames. I also think the Cotics are more suited to slightly shorter travel forks than the 456. Ti is probably not worth the extra £ over steel unless you plan to keep the frame for life. But then that didn’t stop me buying Ti!

    X4 is 41mm and CK 32mm according to my spreadsheet

    Gain 4mm back by switching to a FSA headset and avoid scoring the steerer tube at the same time

    Thanks might have a try with a High Roller

    Yes squishy it’s a factory fit option though – well worth getting and not stupid money – I never feel the need to have chosen the estate version

    I’ve actually got 2 Inbreds now – one is a knackered old 853 version and the other is a Ti456. The biggest factor for me is that an 18″ Inbred seems to fit me almost perfectly in the way that a Medium Soul/Soda never did. I tried a Large Soul and that felt too big. I’m just 6 feet tall btw. It may also be that I prefer the geometry of the Inbreds to the Cotics but I don’t understand why. The finish on the Cotics is very nice though, especially on the Soul for some reason. I don’t think you would be unhappy with either. It probably also depends what fork you intend running on it – that may influence your choice.

    I had both and tbh there wasn’t a vast difference. Unless you plan on a real lightweight build you won’t notice the frame weight difference. Better off getting a Soul and some light forks and wheels. If anything I found the Soul stiffer than the Soda. Of course if you planned on keeping the frame for 10 years or more that could be an argument for the Soda.

    I can get two bikes in the boot of my 5 with both front wheels off, or one with both wheels on. This is with the rear seats folded of course, never tried it without

    Thanks all – sorry should have said ideally near to beach (or within short drive)

    It’s about 30mm I think – you might be able to use one bigger shim and some Coke can?

    jamesgarbett

    It’s a special size – some shims are supplied with the frame

    Try roasting the pads in the oven – if that doesn’t work bin them.

    You’ll soon know if they’re screwed when you try to stop so bear this in mind if you decide to carry on with them.

    Pikes at 140mm here. Don’t think I’d want anything longer that wasn’t travel adjustable.

    How can I tell woody?

    But if that were the case how come it doesn’t work with my homehub either?

    I reckon it’s the PC

    Thanks all – have already tried these things:

    Re-enabling ethernet adaptor
    Rebooting router
    ipconfig release and renew

    It’s a wired connection and I’ve tried it on both networks in my house and the same problem exists

    Just the Pikes really
