    No need to apologise finbar , it doesn’t have the pinch bolts no

    I have done that with the 2 allen keys but when you remove 1 allen key you can still make them both move at the same time just tightening one end

    When I get challenged about not having a bell I always just smile and say ‘sorry I’m too vain to have a bell’ most of them either laugh or look bewildered

    I have spare wheels ,forks and brakes etc but they were what I upgraded from so not great and probably need servicing
    I have a steel hardtail but as my back has popped for the 3rd time this year I’ve not been on it much hence wanting to keep the full sus operational

    Thanks for the heads up I ended up getting some Revelations
    I might need to add some tokens and the website says I need Rockshox seal grease
    Do I need to definitely use this or can I use anything else ?
    Thanks

    I use parcelforce all the time as long as it is under 1.5m length and 3m in length and girth you are good to go I use them a lot and costs me around £15 to send a frame under £100 obviously if it is valued at more the compensation costs rise

    I have run the velosolo adapter front and rear and they are spot on although I haven’t had to change anything whilst elbow deep in crud and with freezing hands then I could see the spacers being a problem
    Saying that i ended up biting the bullet and buying a boost wheelset but honestly couldn’t tell the difference
