Having used many top brands over the years I am currently using (and can thoroughly recommend) Smith Optics. I’m using the attack max version with chromapop lenses and they are mega!

Thanks man, I’ll check this out. I had considered the PUSH shock but it made my wallet run for cover!

Ah, it is alloy. Think I’ll just take the hit and let the LBS sort it.

This is great, thanks I’ll have a play with it when I can. Much appreciated!

Great thanks everyone 🙌🏻

Thanks, I’ll check out pedal cover.

Thanks Joe, I’ve ordered them from there

Yes captainflashheart! Are they for me?!

No sign of the Charge tyres anywhere? Any one know of any available now?

The Halos are an option but is prefer something with a bit more bite.

Cheers Rusty… I’ll have look now

Cheers Jam bo 😀

Thanks for the advice. I’m thinking a 4 line kite with a power bar might be the way to go. I’m not a complete novice and relatively competent practically so don’t want to waste money on a decent kite that I’ll out grow quickly.

Cheers Cnud… That’s the exact one! Bargain at a tenner

Cheers all… i want something I can leave in the camper so compact is good.

I need to know the truth. And that it’s worth the punt!

Soooooo…

A little while on and after much deliberation, what is the verdict on the swap from a 23mm internal rim with a 2.35 maxxis to a 30mm internal 2.8/3.0 combo?

i’d love to catch one of these idiots in action, theres real malice here… disgusting.

The Topeak smarthead is only supposed to loose 1psi per use.

Just worth pointing out that my track pump is also Topeak Joe Blow.

Cheers Hildodger, good factoids… Do you have scientific research to back this up? 😉

Kryton57… That sure looks delicious but I’m usually too busy to knock up a chicken fajita pita with side salad although I do agree real food is superior if possible.

Thanks team! 🙂

Sorry for the dinosaur level response time there… It’s a 120mm SiD

It’s an XL ridgeline LT 29er with 120mm travel… This was the first ride after a long lay off, due to my knee op. Felt great to get back out! It’s a completely different beast to my Tall boy I had before, very direct and rolls and rolls and rolls. I need to set the fork up properly but very happy with it!

No you’re right… The 30mm stantions might be a bit flexi

Haha… skills. Sorted now… kinda 🙂

Thanks for the advice Boxelder. I’ll check out the book Woody21 cheers.

Update on this smokin hot thread…

Rokform sport looks like the one! Although I will still need a ancillary battery pack.

On it team… Muchos!

Cheers Team… I’ll pick a set of these up, look ideal. I’ve used the shimano XT trekking pedal on my tallboy and they were too much of a compromise, always hanging 180 degrees out.

Yes, I agree… I went with the XX1 cassette as it was cheaper than the X01.

Thanks all… That’s great. I ride all over the place and do enjoy a good 1 in 4 grind, so 30 or 32t sounds bang on.

Think I’ll go x01 in the all black number as it fits in with the all black finish I’m going for… Pics to come in due course

Discount that last sentence… I miss read something in a mag.

Thanks for the feedback all… I forgot that I posted this tbh! 😆

I did email them and I’m still waiting despite the 72hr response time long since elapsed, think I’ll fire them a chaser.

Thanks for the offer of the deutche address… My old man lives in Norway so I’m looking at that as an option. Just got to monitor that € rate to maximise the disco.

With regards to warranty, I thought Cube operate a global main dealer warranty policy?

Thanks Daffy 🙂

189 cm aka 6″2.5

Much appreciated gang

easy mate…

i’ve been using them for 6 months now and i’ve just booked the bike in to have the D.O.S.S fitted (currently running a reverb with a separate control) so as to simplify things further. I get on well with mine, suited to fast flowing riding the system does what it says on the tin. The lever is rather large and unsightly but that is all forgotten about when the performance benefits sink in. You don’t have the tuneability of a separate fork compression system but Fox have dialled the system in very well IMO and rebound is adjusted as standard. The CTD system suits the LTC very well indeed… so far so good for me 8)

Thanks bud 😀

I’ve checked out the Easton offers and tempted but not looking to run adapters on my 15qr to make them fit. Do the hubs come with cones?

Damn right actually… Absolutely no sweat to fabricate something. Good thinking 💡
