I’ve got a db inline on order but was getting a bit pee’d off waiting and can get a new RC3 plus debonair for £230…so wondered if the inline was worth the wait.

Oops…just realised thread title should have said ‘plus’.

I was 5’8 and got a med Soul and was too big. I would say med…but speak to Cotic

Lowered BB and HA, so potential for more pedal strikes and less stability at speed…but you won’t die.

Tftuned reckon mid Aug…but larger sizes first :(

Check with upgradebikes…like I did and speak to Martin.

Noooooooo

Jonny – Abbottsanncycles have them for £440!!

Sonny – sent you an email about forks

Anyone know how much altogether for 2 hookless 35mm 650b rims inc imp duty?

Cheers

^^^Really? The steel inserts have done exceptionally well in the two years I’ve had on one set with an XT cassette. Its still going very strong compared to a previous Hope for example.

OP – please tell me you bought the from alltricks.fr using code SOL5 for an extra 5% off? Should have cost £480 approx?

Yep just the 225 thats a small issue…otherwise spot on. Also got my sets for the same price as Arch ex’s… So very happy. Graphics are a bit marmite and a PITA to remove with marigolds and tons of acetone! Piece of piss to inflate using their brilliant tubeless valves…easily the best I’ve come across. Unfortunately they only appear to come in red?!

No idea about the rims…but find the rear hubs slow to engage on my all mountains. Otherwise really hard durable and low weight so assume the same for the lightenings. Running two sets on HT & FS.

Read ‘Why men don’t listen, and why women can’t read maps’…very insightful…but still hasn’t helped me.

OP – was there a set of keys and bowl in your hands when you mentioned ‘partying’ with the attractive 20-30s?! ;)

Life stuff on the ups and flats…not going OTB on the downs

Thankfully been ok in the uk. Got tick bite fever in South Africa…on both occasions I went :(

Wasnt fairly obvious to me and had it screwed good and proper. It must have been out only a fraction but made a really bad knocking sound. I actually thought my forks were broken!

Bearing/crown not sitting correctly? Had this with some new forks with hope bottom set…had me baffled for a week. Took it apart 4 times before it sat properly.

Bought 2 26″ frames in the last 7 months. Why…because all my kit is 26″ and 26″ forks are pretty cheap at the moment plus serviceable, as well as at least one frame that I bought with the bottom failing out of the market. Unless they stop making tyres…which they wont, I’m pretty content.

Perhaps those that need an extra 1.5 inch are compensating for something else? ;)

For £100 more…that Whyte is miles better!

Now you say it like that…I best be buying a 650b

Does this mean there’ll be loads of 26″ tyre bargains soon? I best start stockpiling

That is pretty amazing.

Can vouch for the slackline ti

Not as long as that

Cruz – don’t think you have any worries. I bought the black dual version which was the title of the ad…but the description in the tech stuff was for the solo air. I called them and they told me they were duals. Arrived OEM rather than proper boxed jobs so were missing pump, star nut and seal kit, but they refunded me €40. Set of duals rct3 for £430 in the end and all black version. The white ones are at least £600 everywhere else…and also look awful IMO.

Been waiting for the RC275…but not heard a peep. Website has been the same since Jan

Yep…but it did take a wee while to come through

Mike – tried that too.

I normally use post preview to check its worked…but the post preview doesn’t work properly…at least on my laptop.

I’ll try just doing a dummy on this thread later on to see.

As stated Conti are PITA to seal…but once bedded they stay up for yonks on my HT.

That is a mighty good bargain. Radon fork too.

A little on my HT. Try using some friction paste on the rails.

Ah IKEA…don’t conform, walk the opposite way to the arrows!

You could at least sorted the crank alignment for the pic!

Nice frame…love that green

My orange crush was quite literally a pain in the arse. Replaced it with a soul and difference was very noticable. Ragley piglet frame?

Simplicity, weight saving and less clutter for a dropper remote

Well I love my 26″ ti frame and I’ll be **** if I’m parting with it anytime soon. 26″ was good enough for me starting out in 92′ and is still as good now. Build it, ride it, love it.

Apologies SOAP – my fault. To be fair the ad for my duals was all buggered up too. Stated RCT3 dual…but the actual techy stuff referred to solo air. They did arrive as RCT3 but OEM and I got €40 back to compensate for lack of star nut, pump and seal kit.

+1 Troy Lee…just get the correct size

RCT3 are also on alltricks.fr if you look properly for 469.99 150mm or 499.99 160mm 26″
