Focus Cayo 7.0

Carbon frame and forks and 11 speed 105

Just brought a 5010 Aluminium…Looks nice,will get a ride in next week once the new Avid hose arrives

Fast and fun..

Focus Mares

seem to vary by about + or – 10%

I use it as my trail centre and xc bike.

Have a full susser to do silly stuff on

6ft1 and i have an 18″ with a 60mm stem.

seems ok…

Hope Hoops

I have a Trek Superfly 100 sl elite.

Its sub 25lbs with a Stealth dropper.

its for sale if interested?

Could be made lighter by going 1×10/11,as its running 2×10 at the moment.
Fitting a standard seatpost and 1×11 should see 23.5-24 lbs easily and thats for a large frame

Was there yesterday evening about 6 ish…Dry trails, i now work about 15 miles from there,so after work rides are good

Did a few laps with 2 mates.

Was a few there but surprisingly empty

My Superfly 100 sl is less than 25lbs with a Reverb stealth fitted and is running 2×10 so could save more if you go to 11 speed.

Trek Superfly 100 SL. 100mm front and rear travel

eats the miles.

I also have one for sale 🙂

I brought my 2004 Caddy for £3100

Solo air ones for me aswell…amazing fork

Mine are all supplied by the shop..I do have a lot of my own stuff…Most of it is Park tools

Just had the Italy reply from someone about a VW Caddy i wanted… will avoid like the plague

Yippee, rims arrived today.

will build them up with Hope hubs.

is it a 1mm or the mavic 1.75mm spacer thats specific to there hubs

Dont think Simon @ progressive bikes does it anymore

I ordered my wheels from them on the 6th March and they arrived on the 27th.
That’s not bad considering they were out of stock on the hubs at the time which delayed things, then had to build and ship them.

The wheels are great, they ride amazingly.
I used duct tape and stans valves to set up tubeless. They inflated and held pressure perfectly,even without fluid!

The only problems i had was that the freehub was pushing up against the bearings and after inspection i noticed there was a washer/spacer missing between hub bearing and freehub body.
The rear adapter for the axle is also slightly different from my other hope wheels and doesnt allow the xx1 cassette to sit properly on the freehub.
I think it may be a aftermarket piece.

If you are running a 142×12 rear axle setup its a different end cap for xx1 driver…sounds like you have a standard 142×12 shimano 9/10 speed end cap

Not lost my chain yet,but about to fit a Gamut trail upper device.weighs 50g so not too heavy

The Raw has a clearcote over it…Its not totally Raw frame

Have a set of 650b 35mm Hookless on order,have built a few sets up for customers over the last few months,all have been amazing

I have a Raw 45650B 20″

Have 2 sets of them,Had the 1st set since they were released in the uk,absolutely no problems with them..
wouldnt want anything else

Quite a few small ones,and the odd major crash.

Had 2 major ones last year,wrist and then a few months later did my shoulder

RIP Brian.

Never met you in person but shared a lot of emails,usually involving Nicolai bikes.

Will miss those emails.

Thoughts go out to his family.

Stay home, Same as others,went out riding with a mild cold,next day was total snot fest with chest infection..

Was amazing fun,super slippery course.

Mullet Snaps on facebook was taking pictures,But didnt seem to get any of me,hopefully someone else was taking them aswell.

Did the Raceface Circus of dirt Enduro at Plmouth.

Was really good fun,but struggled to find any grip.

Hope the bloke that broke his colarbone was ok,wont ever forget the snapping noise as he hit the floor.Healing vibes fella.

Might do the Haldon one on Sunday.

X01 are 2 piece.

Had root canal about 7 years ago,had a few infection problems every now and then.

Then end of November big problems,woke up at 5am looking like elephant man,face really swollen,went to mt dentist the next day,he took a look gave me Anti-biotics for a week,then went back a fortnight later,face all sollen again,more anti biotics,then a visit to him again on Xmas eve for more antibiotics,he then told me he couldnt remove it as it had Root canal(that he had done) and would need doing a hospital,3 weeks later a visit to Hospital to see a surgeon,he had a look,checked my records,said it needs doing asap, 4 days later i was in Hospital having it done under Local,the Root canal one snapped off,they then had to cut my gum open and remove each root seperately,whilst doing this they noticed that the tooth next to it had rotted away and was fallin to bits under the gum line,so i had that removed aswell..sore for a few weeks after,but now is fine..

Nicolai Ion 16

Should have one next week,running hans dampf 2.25 Trailstar on the rear

Freehub on wheel slipping?

Yep,did my Scaphoid and thought it was a sprain.

2nd time thought it was Scaphoid….was just a sprain,but that took 12 weeks to sort itself out
