    44 with straight steerer, yes but check fork downtube clearance at 90°, or if the 130 fork is already in the frame, see if there’s over 1cm clearance.

    Those coloured pins are a new one on me, didn’t realise they were alu, everything else has been coloured for ages, the last intro into the spectrum was the top cap bolt.
    Hope keeping things on the downlow, I bet most LBS’s don’t know about em.

    Wow, so much hostility and misunderstanding for an innocent inoffensive question asking about trustworthy private sellers of mountainbike parts youve dealt with, i didnt mean the entire Ebay. I have been disappointed with stuff from a seller with 100% positive feedback so its definitely no guarantee, surely you’ve bought from people and thought I wont buy from them again but not bothered with feedback, and people who pay shop prices for second hand can only be described as mugs. Some sellers just want to make as much as they can and some seller’s just have regular clearouts and are nice and reasonable, surely the good guys deserve a mention. Hope this doesnt trigger the people whos only input to this forum is insults.

    Amazing how many overpriced private sellers have 100% positive feedback because mugs just buy anything second hand without seeing if its cheaper at CRC. its also easy to have 100% from mainly buying stuff so its no guarantee. Smart arse.

    Oneup have one with cut outs on the sleeve, but the 2nd version will iron out any twisting issues apparently, I’ll be trying those.

    Sorry Kerley, I was only joking, smiley faces don’t seem to work on here.
    Total knobs on ebay have driven me to the brink this past month, I’ve even pulled an item just to keep my sanity. We can all be a bit too sensitive or insensitive at times.

    Don’t cast aspersions, unless you’re special.

    From “daylight robbery” to “Good value”. There’s always one contrary mary, happy to pay ebay fee’s, come on, really, if so there’s a village missing you. “prawn cracker”

    Yes it works, plenty range of movement, got mine the same position as previous m8000, just waiting on my cassette to arrive.
    Though you forgot to thank the guy who actually gave you the proper answer.

    Ive got one of their dark grey 40mm stems with the 24 machined out in silver, use as a paper weight its that hefty.

    P-jay, I know what you mean, umpteen % on fees is painful, but I sometimes get £1 max fee deals. As for that 1% of people, I’ve seen a guy selling a used hope stem cap for £9, ridiculous when you can get a brand new one in various colours with coloured bolt for that. Who buys from these people selling second hand goods for more than chainreaction sells new.

    RicB you’ve got me scratching my head now, I worked on one a couple of years ago, it definitely had an adapter on the 180 rear, maybe they change between sizes or carbon differs from alloy version

    Correct me if I’m wrong but doesnt it have a 160mm rear post mount using an adapter to make it 180mm sram set up, and the front already 200mm, personally I’d ditch the long bolts and cup washer things and buy 200mm hope post mount M and get some ti bolts. Theres not a lot of 200mm adapter options or rotors too, hope or sram centreline. +20 pm to pm only works if actual mount is 180 like 2018 rockshox yaris. Front & rear pm adapters are the same only IS are diff f & r.

    Get a seat clamp without the lip, like MT ZOOM ultralight, slide it down over the crack,no need to cut down seattube and use it under your other clamp.

    Check Machinemart, they’ve got some interesting options,extra long, colour coded, Clarke and Draper ones with a cool full colour coating, makes them look anodised.
