    Nice reviews just a point if your new to 29'

    Rigid forks on a 29er swift with a nice 2.3 or 2.4 tire can deal with an awful lot more than you might expect and especially more than a 26"

    Actually some events are more fun when you don't even ride .
    I think this would be quite acceptable at a ss style event !

    Why not get the engineering company to helicoil the thread as required it's not a difficult job I would probably do all four while I was there
    It's not an uncommon failure on those brakes and threads sometimes go as a bolt is removed not always as it's tightened.
    Get some new pads and go for a ride :-))
    There's still no excuse for not replying by the seller but leaving things that long !

    Used does mean used and sometimes bargains ain't as good as we hope.

    What is medium speed ? I find em good at most speeds but better the harder you push them

    I do run them fairly hard as if there too soft they feel a bit spongy !

    They tubeless up a treat tho good tyres

    I can confirm that being tall and lean has nothing to do with the bikes you first mentioned.

    I actually thought it was a personal attack on SSS ' tho he does a wonderful lean …………… On the bar !

    Actually it was my singular at ssec as for not being able to use the hoods tosh i use that bike nearly every day it's perfect for cruising on the hoods and braking in the hoods

    Three years and still going strong I think being a bodge is a little unfair ;-) unconventional certainly

    Does the chainset feel tight with the wheel and chain removed ?

    Does the sproket and freehub feel tight out of the frame ?

    If the answer is no then sounds like a chain issue

    hope this helps
