I have a AC 650b. Had a 26″ AC before.

Thing i noticed the most on it are very stiff rear end,New ones have Longer top tube and slacker head angle,makes the bike very stable at high speeds and is amazing descending,but still climbs like a goat.
The 2 Travel settings make no difference to geometry.In my opinion i wouldnt run it with a 130mm travel fork unless it has a very long Axle to crown height,Bb height is quite low with a 150mm Revelation and i think you would run the risk of lots of pedal strikes if running a 130mm fork.
I am waiting for the new 160mm 650 Pike to land on our shores..Should bring even more fun to an excellent all round bike.
Can be built up easily to 28 lbs inc reverb.

ISCG hammerschmidt mount on a Nicolai looks like this
Had this on my Old AC,the bb shell and the face of the mounts need to be perfectly faced.

70-80 miles a week,usually in 2-3 rides,usually about 7000 ft of climbing per week.

Struggled at the beginning of the year,have now lost 2 stone and am getting fitter.

as above,Window cleaner,disk brake cleaner or Isopropynol Alcohol

Trek Project one is available on some mountain bikes

Trek superfly 100 SL elite

Spokey 1 red and 1 yellow.

Brilliant,made my day seem so much better.
Kettle broke this morning..

Any Pedal strikes??

Looks good TLR.

I like the black ano on a Nicolai.Love My AC 650b,good neutral handling,climbs well,descends even better than my old AC

Emailed Halfords.

They have emailed back,have refunded.

Seems that my local shop have no idea what was happening,never phoning back and telling me lots of wrong information.

And that will be the last time i ever use them.

Worst customer service ever.

If the Offer was wrong,they should have emailed and cancelled my order within a few days maximum and not 3 weeks later when i complain

My new Trek Superfly sl came with XT brakes,They are amazing,nice levers and lever feel,I am changing the front rotor up to a 180mm,but am very tempted to fit another set to my other bike aswell.

They should refund you,Not your fault they didnt pay for insurance and didnt package it correctly

Still No tabs or refund.

Have been there twice and phoned them 3 times,each time they said they would phone back…No they havent.

I have Tuesday off so hope the manager is there.. 😀

Trek superfly 100 al.

Aluminium and 110mm of travel,Carbon version has 100mm.

Lots of people run that tyre with sealent.

29er Version is available now aswell.

More money though

Still havent got my High5 tablets,been in twice now.apparently they are on there next delivery..

Bollocks. I somehow assumed there was an offer on inner tubes too. Now I look silly!

Bargain for the Zero tablets!

I havent use inner tubes for about 10 years..lol

😀 😀

Down in Cornwall.

went back on to order more…All sold out

managed to get 3 packs of 8 tubes,Pick them up Tuesday,should last the summer.

And saved me £150….BOOM

The 2 bits at the top are a GXP adaptor kit for fitting Truvativ/Sram

The washer goes on the drive side axle between the bb and the arms on the axle,not sure if its used if fitting to Shimano cranks.

I have used them on Flow rims running tubeless with sealent,worked amazingly,and plenty of grip,found they were better at 20-25 psi

Bontager XR4 2.35,had these on one of my bikes,big tyre large volume and comes in a TLR version.

Hans Dampf is very good and also comes in Tubeless ready,big tyre with a styrong casing

My 650b Nicolai AC

My ones lasted just over 1 year,ridden 50miles per week rain or shine..

As above too much bearing preload

Trek Stache 7 is fun on trails

It is fun and only 30 minutes from my house..20 mins from my work

slx/xt seem to last the best,but depends on fitting

mine have taken between 4 and 8 months..

2×10 on my 29er Hardtail,Type 2 mech..Not lost the chain

Nicolai AC pinion 650b,150mm travel,2.35 tyres and flow ex rims.

32lbs and loadsa fun

Le Col are well made and have a very good pad

Trek do 23″ frames sized bikes

Have 650b Revs on my Nicolai AC..

Work well,dont seem flexy (15mm axle)

Had Devilles on my last AC,they are very good forks aswell.

Yes,I also have a tapered spike that fits in the end of the main pivot,it helps allign it all when putting it back together.

I think you can hire the Tools from Nicolai UK.

I made my own..

Gain 1 a week usally.Not loosing many at the moment.

Just fitted new wheels,wider rims.should stop the tyre roll a bit
