Easton EA90XC wheel set

Thanks Big n daft , didn’t realise they had a spring , thought they where an air fork will have to investigate them properly :D

Want to get a 29er hardtail to race next year, I’m hopefully going to do a couple of duathlons so the 32lb Tracer maybe a disadvantage , the trails are usually non techy with steep climbs……. :D and as I’m a fat old fart I need all the help I can get.
CRC have the Tower Pros £211 less a £10 code

I had Lyriks on my 2007 Heckler it was great downhill but a bit of a lump on the ups, I changed to talas 36 , 130mm was good for climbs and trundling alond then flick the lever for 160mm on the downs best of both, my Lyriks where U-Turn which was a lot of faff to adjust, on the fly.

I’ve been running standard no ust Maxxis tyres tubless with stans since 2008 , rims where DT420, Flow, Flowex, Crests never had a problem with tyres exploding only had one puncture which was a 3″ gash, must be down to luck and keeping the pressures below 40psi, usually runnng around 20-30psi. when its hedge cutting time they are a godsend.

My 3 month old 26er was awesome to ride today, trails where very much alive and very windy :D

I had a Shadowplus mech and a E-13 single ring with an MRPx1 guide on my Spearfish dropped the chain once, in the 3 months I had the bike.

High Roller II Exo TR seem to be ok for me so far, side walls are definiteley thicker , I took out the side walls on my two new Advanatge tyres at Penmachno , so tried the new Exo Tr , they are heavier though.

Thanks Tony, sorry I’m looking at buying a set of 180mm Vans and reducing travel to 160mm , for a plush coil fork. I have a set of Float 36’s mint on my bike, wanted a taper / kashima set :D

doof doof great advice many thanks :D

none on the Mojo web site just 160mm Float and Talas

Oh brilliant , will scoure the web for some :D

Should be this tool

screws into the crank arm, then you undo the bolt acts as a puller, usually very simple to do :D
The pins are to unscrew the plastic insert which keeps the threads clean.

having to send it back after 3 weeks is reliable how? that was in 2010 has been used all year round 2-3 times a week since then with no problemS, It was one of the very first Reverbs, they did a mod it was there and back in 3 days great service and hasn’t missed a beat since.

I use mine like I would brakes or gears, without thinking I will drop it slightly for some situations or all the way down for others, and it always comes back to the correct height, no faffing Reverb has been totally reliable , went back after 3 wekeks for a mod, and has been fine ever since, bought it in march 2010 , just bought another for my new frame. Had a ride a couple of weeks back with a standard post became aware of it reaming my butt constantly , :D

11-36 with 36 up front can ride up almost everything locally been this way for 4 years before that 11-34 34 upfront 9 speed.

please can we have Fluorescent green so the wife doesn’t notice :D

Same happens with Flowex at 60psi boooooooooooooom ringing in ears :D

what happens when i dont concentrate on the gauge :D

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL 999 ASK FOR AN AMBULANCE TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE, POST NUMBER ETC, THE GUYS FROM ONEPLANET WILL THEN GUIDE THE AMBULANCE TO WHERE YOU ARE THEN YOU CAN BE TREATED BY A PROFFESIONAL MEDIC :D THERE IS SOS PHONE COVERAGE IN MOST OF THE FOREST.

sorrycaps lock was left on im not shouting

Had my reverb for nearly 3 3/4 years only had a problem in the first month, has been fine ever since, never had problems with the remote, its pretty well worn now after being used 3-4 times a week 12 months a year, the black shaft finally got a small line down it from a piece of grit, i got lazy and didn’t clean my bike, still works fine a bit slow in action and has a bit more twist in it , just bought a new one to replace it , my new frame is 31.6mm , have been running the old 30.9mm with a shim, thought it was time to retire it to my wifes bike :D. should last for another 5 years on her bike :D

Thanks Stu1972

Its open as said only a few diversions, :D

I’ve fitted a 650b with a 2.25 maxxis ardent in my 36’s let all the air out and fully compressed them , there was about 12mm of clearance.

I have the Drift HD but they are £199 they do a HD720 for £130 pleased with mine so far , makes my riding look even tamer than it already is :D

The Uzzi looks very nice , I have a Tracer 2 rides awesome.

Oneplanet at Llandegla have a demo Bronson, i have to resist only just bought a new bike :D

Was at Coed Y yesterday with the wife the new Blue is great fun and ideal for peeps who don’t have too many skills and a good bike, the Beast is a good trail 38Km and 1800m climbing and some fun obstacles , the Cafe is great highly recommend the Dragons back burger minted lamb :D, we rode the blue twice , the wife really liked it and she hates biking that involves climbing :D

I wore mine today still go a wet bum , only the back of them is water proof, water hits your crotch then works its way back to your bum :D

I have one on the front OK so far 2.3 High Roller 2 Exo TR pumped up very easily on my Flow EX rims with yellow tape and dropped some stans in for good measure, Grip on the trail seems fine , mostly ridden them in the dry , just come back from a wet ride and they where fine, running a 3C Ikon TR 2.2 Exo out the back again ok so far , will probably swop it out for another High roller for the winter.

Orange 5 would be my recommendation easy to get used to and go down hill with ease which will do your confidence good and help you push further, and combine it with a couple of skills courses you will be flying.
I had one for a couple of years really helped give me confidence. :-)

Blob of silicone gently pushed in, could be pushed out again when needed

I had a 2007 model with 120mm fox fork , xtr groupset and hope pro 3 wheels set with tubless set up 2.25 Maxxis Advantage tyres ,was 24.8lbs , rode really well, climbs great and awesome downhill low BB helps, only when it gets really rough it can get out of shape, I had a 2007 hecker at the same time, which had lyrics and coil shock so felt nothing like but would plough most things :D

Mine too couple cm’s before it tensions chain is noisy 8O

MRP All mountain , E-13 SRS or Lg1+ all good :D

55mm one here with 750mm Havoc carbon bars really nice for trail riding .

My Floats do up with no play with just the axle then the clamps lock it up ,

:D matching Pansies

190×50 have a chat to TFTune or Loco I had a trail tune and set up for my weight etc…

I had a Push Tuned Van R on mine with Ti spring was great. :D

Finally built up and ridden its awesome, rides well, 31.9lb :D
