Raleigh Budgie

It is a mech mount and the guides run on the underside of the top tube.
Mine came with a choice of double guides for a front mech and dropper or single guides. Also on the back of the seat tube is a mount that accepts a C clip thing to hold the cable coming down to the mech.

I purchased mine from here fit my XT cranks perfectly.

Prior to this set I purchased some of Ebay which claimed to be smaller fitting for the likes of Shimano cranks etc. They arrived and were not genuine Raceface ones I went through two pairs both split and ended up being refunded.

The ones fron Jenson ie genuine Raceface are great.
Crankskins also sell them

Think I may have asked the question incorrectly.

I have the removal pliers and use them with KMC 10 speed connectors, to remove the chain for cleaning etc on my 10 spd bike

What I was trying to find out was does anybody make a reusable 11spd link like the 10 spd ones.

But the answer I think is within this thread Singletrack

It appears I can use a KMC 10spd re-usable link on my Sram XX1 chain.

Thats what im looking for the ability to open and remove / refit the same chain for cleaning etc.

Excellent quality

Many thanks

Blackspire Bruiser ?

Thanks Richard found that now have emailed asking how it applies to anodized finishes.

Endura MTR

They are the best
One from a couple of weeks ago.

Meet Fish

If only I stil had it …

Ibiza town with a climb up to the old town. Have a seat in the church at the top (dont need to be religious) stunningly cool and relaxed
Hippy market every Wednesday in Es Cana
Spend the day at Cala D Hort beach looking out at Es Vedra

Great little beach caf here plus a nice fish restraunt up on the cliff top.
Then before sunset wander/walk up to the old fort that looks down on Es Vedra and watch the sunset magic

Good news then :D

Hmm that’s a shame was up mid week last week and it was closed, but hoped it might still be open weekends.
Thanks

Gone :D

Nice :D

KS Lev coming up on 18 mths use including through winter and has been faultless.

How long does it take for the bearing / adjuster to settle down on the rear ITS-4 hub. Had to nip it up a couple of times now.
Wheels were as new when I bought them so not many mile sin on them. (Crossmax Enduro)

Thanks

Which kit on CRC is it rab5474 ?

Update here pedal re-build / grease did not cure.
Next is a BB chase as the non D/S thread is very tight when fitting the cup.

Hows about a Mega TR

Here we go quite like the look of these.

Should say I have the Rimes and they are brilliant. I tried the Giros and would have kept them but found them too narrow in the fit, the spesh are a lot wider.
Also tried the Pearls and found them slightly wider than the Giros but not enough.
All great shoes the Rimes could do with being a little less vented / mesh.
Have seen some interesting pics of some new ones Spesh are bringing out later this year I think. Will see if I can find the picture.

This stuff is excellent
Viking tape

Jagwire S hook ?
Jagwire

Yup

This thread has a diagram showing the differences.

Magic Mary EVO front Spesh Purgatory rear lovely :D

X01 crankset GXP

With a quality threaded external BB like Hope King etc with GXP adapters.

Possibly cured mine with a strip and re-pack with grease of the pedals. We will see on the next proper ride.

If not next will be a chase out on the non d/s BB thread, as the BB is tight when fitting.

Stickers not removable I’m afraid.
They are OTT to be honest the paint also isn’t the hardest / toughest. Will be changing colour of mine next year so not too fussed.

Ive just replaced Flow EX wheelset with these. For no other reason than fancied a change. I had a Magic Mary front and Purgatory rear.

Ive moved these across onto the Mavic rims, to my eye the front looks as good as the same size as it was on the flow. The rear marginally smaller width wise which is to be expected. Still comes up IMO plenty big enough obviously not compared to some of the new width rims coming out.

But able to have a play around on this bike as my bike that is on order (Nicolai) will have wider rims. We all managed on our rims before the latest came out.

Should say the Magic Mary is a very very good front tyre in EVO carcass. I have had Hans Dampf before and they are good but the Mary pips it.

Don’t know if any of that will help you.

Its just a winter hack :wink:
Main bike is on order with all the toys :D

Think mine is brilliant just a great trail bike, not the lightest but not the heaviest. Climbs well enough great going down and feels (as I read) like a big BMX very poppy.

Now 1 x 10 and gone a bit yellow !!
I think your near me Simon im in Bradford if you wanted a look.

Had XTs and have Saint M820s on another bike. To me the XTs in a way felt more powerful as the initial bite is stronger.

I find the Saints have a longer lever throw before the power comes on. This IMO gives the Saints better modulation than the XTs.

Im curious if the XTRs are as grabby/ instant as the XTs.
