Feel not enough attention has been given to that awesome Nicolai! I love it, great spec choice (apart from the brakes, obviously!) Great job

The brakes are amazing,lots of power lots of control.

Impressed with them so far,Wanted light but plenty of power,these have both.

X0 trail 200mm front,180mm rear

My Local woods

Make sure that if it has a lever reach/bite point adjuster inside the lever that it is wound fully anti-clockwise.

if the screw is wound to far in it blocks the top up port.

Ordered 2 Nobby nics 650×2.35’s.

Were here in 4 days,and 1/2 price.

Excellent

My 650b Nicolai

I have a Troutie Spider eyes at the moment that Troutie (Chris) has lent me…I am very impressed,plenty of light,plenty of throw and who would have thought a square pattern would be nice to ride with.

Check out Troutie lights..

Cannondale Caad8 2300 or Synapse 2300

Both very nice frames

Loco— Bring some tyres with you then…

Schwalbe’s are expensive to skid on..lol

I am very impressed with my 650b,|seems very playfull and seems to have more grip..

Only 65 miles on it so far..

I have the same bike in 26″ wheels aswell,so have been riding both.

TLR-

Only have 30 miles on them.

Not from CRC.i work in a bike shop.

So far they feel very good,No mid travel blow through like the older ones i had.
Would have liked 20mm but had 15mm,and they seem stiff for a 32mm fork.
I did a lower leg service before fitting aswell,Actually had oil in them..

Just fitted revelation RCT3’s to my new Nicolai AC…they are feeling better than the older ones i had.Damping is feeling amazing.

Havent had enough time to compare them to the Bos Devilles that i have been using for the last year and a bit.

Mech spring if its relying on that.

Was a bit scary when i found out my Girlfiend(then) was pregnant and i was 25.lost a few nights of sleep thinking about it,but absolutely no regrets,from the day he was born.
Looking back was amazing,also have a daughter now aswell who is 12.

39 soon (Saturday) amazing part of my life..

Brings you back to the real world..

Mine is 2 days old,still working fine 😀

Most Trek/Bontrager parts arrive very quickly once ordered. 😀

Whats the part number,will tell you now if its in stock..

Have a set of Racing Ralphs for the summer,have fitted Nobby Nics to get me through the wetter months

I have BOR wheels.

Replied to me this morning.By email

As Orangeboy has said.

Remove the nut from the driveside and then pull the freehub body off.

Should have 2 pawls and a circular spring.

Also will have a Plastic carrier holding bearings.

All can be replaced for £12 ish.

I use grease thinned with chain oil.

Have used an Endura Convert softshell for a few months.

Find them less sweaty and seem to not get ripped on brambles as easily.
Standard fully water proof hardshells are sweaty and get ripped after a few rides.Will be softshell for me for now on

If its brand new trek had some stolen off a delivery lorry.

Endura Convert

Riding top and baselayer under it.

DnBassArena or HospitalRecords Podcasts

Seems to make me ride well

Lanhydrock is a more family based trail.Other side of the road is Cardinham,they are having a few bits that are more techy and interesting.

Went out 7 miles in the pouring rain..Had an issue with worn brake pads and ended up in a hedge..Cut ride short then and went home.

No rear brake would have been no fun.

Will pick up some new pads tommorow

If its like the other Dt hubs i have serviced,It needs 2 x Pawls that are £2.50 ea,A spring thats £2.50 and a Needle bearing kit thats £3.99 and maybe a few bearings if they feel rough.

Sounds like its just needs servicing.

Even better that i live 30 miles from there…

With Cardinham and that and the Valley project all getting the go ahead,will be some excellent tracks around me

Should be arriving beginning of next month

10 miler this evening after work,nice and cold air…lol

15.5 local miles today..Was a cold wind and very wet,was ok though

Brynteg guest house..Excellent place,always stay there

If your going to bin it,can i have it,will pay postage…Need one for a project.. 😀

Was looking at a Pro2 SS hub aswell…

Cannondale Caad 8 or Synapse..Amazing frames

Theres a dodgy segment local to me.

The descent has a full length time and a part of the track time.

The persons time is faster for the total than the partial segment.

Off out at 12.Local 25 miler,Mud and very wet trails.
Sun is shining and its not raining….Yet

As above… Brynteg…stay there everytime i go up there

Quick 9.5miles this evening after work,was very windy but not raining

Metalica or ACDC…

Does the Carpark have CCTV…Most do

Yes,can be fitted with a shimano external bb tool
