    I’m going to say yes . I’ve just done the same with the same crank but 11s not 12s . I was told that a 30t ring will work but 32 prob not. Fitting on a cotic frame

    Ta11 thanks for your help I think I need the 20″ .my current bike is 710mm from bb to rails with a 150 dropper so I’ll have 30mm of post sticking out and my top tube from post centre to stem centre is 610mm where the cube is 616mm so not a great deal of diff . Do you agree with me

    The470mm seat tube do you add the drop of 34mm to it as the 470mm isn’t to the centre of the bb , so is it actually about 500mm ish , and the 20” comes with a 150mm dropper

    If they want it they will take it no matter how much security you have . For me my best defence is get top bike insurance and just let them take it with minimum damage to everything around them.

    It’s a rockshox monarch , I’m pumping nearly 300psi in to it to get near to 25-30% sag,I’ve tried playing with spacers but doesn’t seem to make any difference, also when I re attach the shock pump to it I haven’t got 300 psi anymore but that could just be air loss back into the pump

    Cheers boys was looking at the slash instead as I prefer 29ers but the yari fork puts me off . I’m running a yari at the moment and it’s dead . So think I’ll go remedy 19.5 . Reviews seem to add up as well

    I’ve just bought some hunt wide rim enduro wheels but 650b. Must say they look and ride superb and they went up tubeless with a hand pump . Never had that before

    Cutgate was bone dry 2 weeks ago so should be ok still . I go from ladybower to langset. Best to get the hard bit out the way first and the polkadot cafe on main road at langsett serves good food

    Mmm sore point I bought a second hand rc2 charger to fit but the thread is diff at top end so I’m giving up on it as I’m now out of pocket ,was going to do air shaft at the same time but I’m now just going to put back together as it was.

    Super dh for me . As good as a full face when clipped on but also a top trail helmet when taken off . Really clever design

    I love my propel it has an aggressive very aero front end and is very fast in a straight line ,be carefull on the brakes as they will throw you over the bars iff you pull too hard . My only caution is the top tube is long so try before you buy

    mcdonagh2962

    Aero frames do make a difference because they are more aggressive at the front end and the brake is normally at the rear of the forks . I ride a propel and it just goes and goes . I am 13 st and in a straight line I can produce more power than my friends who push on when climbing. This is prob the case with yourself

    Seems to be the norm with anything you buy these days mail order. Sold in bulk and throwing any old crap in hoping to get away with it .I bought a lapierre of crc 3 years ago and it had a small scratch on head tube , got £50 voucher back so you should at least get that much off .wouldn’t be letting them have it back tho ,it’s just principle .

    got to take it back to pedal on tomorrow to be assessed.  But just by looking at it you can tell it’s not been used much it’s as new to look at

    Wrote rear mach off,damaged carbon frame, and buckled the wheel . Always kept away from other bikes in lockup and I’ve only done 80 miles on it . Surely that’s covered under a warranty

    I had a scandal and swapped it for a lurcher , what a mistake the scandal was a much better frame. You need to get the later v2 version with the rounded seat stay which has a tapered headset and is slightly slacker than the lurcher .one of the best frames I ever owned and now it belongs to my best mate .
