    Boardman adv 9.0 looks good

    nukeproof digger or Whyte Glencoe aswell.

    think I’ll be going for one of the above as my next commuter to replace my Boardman cx team.

    Sounds right for a proper service and not just a oil and filter job.

    I made the Mavic wheels on my Boardman cx tubeless it worked but I’m back on tubes as it was unreliable. Too easy to burp the tyre off the rim.

    I love mine it’s a surprisingly good pedal and confidence inspiring when you point it down hill.

    2019 Whyte friston looks like a good option. It’s on my shortlist for a do it all commuter adventure bike.

    Been spot on here still the best option by far.

    T for torx and the number is just a number corresponding to the size not any kind of measurement as far as I know.

    Imagine a cone with the point at the screwhead. For a given angle a longer screwdriver will have a bigger top to the cone which is the effective lever that you are using to undo the screw. There’s a limit to the angle before the screwdriver will slip so a longer handle is the most effective way to apply more torque.

    Easier to get a long screwdriver set straight in the screwhead. Having the screwdriver slightly off straight gives the effect of a wider turning circle compared to a short one being way off straight to achieve a similar advantage.

    I’ve had one of the bolts that goes through the spring and cleat come unthreaded from the outside, making the cleat difficult to engage and fully release. Takes some clamping in a vice and turning the bolt to get it back together.

    Loctite freeze and release spray then used a good puller to put some tension on it a tap with hammer if it hasn’t popped off

    Rallon custom colour scheme make it yours. I wobble about on a rallon it’s way more bike than my skill and bravery level require but it does make me push my limits more. It’s also a hoot to ride.

    Topeak dx2 always used to be a good pump. I use the mountain morph now but that has a hose on.

    I had my front do something like this was the shifter hitting the bar pushed pads in and pumped the lever a few times to reset them.

    Unless you have lift or ramp doing it on axle stands on your back is no fun.

    The most stable shock for what your worried about is a pull shock. But no ones currently making one that I know of. I’ve got a Cannondale trigger with a pull shock and a rallon with a yoke’d push shock and I can tell the difference in the rear shock mounts from the feel of the two bikes.
