Ollie, thanks.
Had the bike on workstand, cleaned up cables and played with tension and all is well again, weird.
Thanks for the advice all
Richard

Thanks all, I suspected the shifter was sticking i will take a look under the hood and investigate.
Thanks
Richard

Yeah but on the front the mouse ear I flick once to change but on the rear I have to flick the ear and then pull it back to get a change?

Leisure lakes are doing the deal (preston)
Thanks
Richard

Warns,
I like that too, is it a recent build that you did?
Is it 1 x 10 or 2 x 10?
I’m running a single and not sure I’m feeling it yet!
Richard

Non std hose and fitting looks like the previous owner Bodged to fit as the threads on lever are knackered to.
New shimano deore methinks!

I thought about the Hope method as I have had the braided types on a mono before. Glad I’m not going mad, I’d not seen one either before today.

Just completed this, my first 29er , & first carbon frame. Its fast!

No they are not the same fitting.
Poor quality pics attached
Original fitting was one piece

Parts supplied to fit on shortened hose are barb , olive and compression nut. The hose is too wide for the nut to slide over hence the chewed hose end!

Suggestions welcomed please

Merlin have £18 off 31.6mm size nets to £161. Limited to the one size though

invisiframe, even do bike specific kits.Easy to apply and much more subtle than “copter tape”

Yes same as my frame. Speak to Anthony at Bike scene he can advise
Richard

Only been in frame a few weeks but yes so far.No issues, no noise just works.

Praxxis for me with Hollowtech 2 cranks, really pleased with its performance so far. Sram version coming out soon as well.
Richard

Does the outer cable run through the whole length of the frames top tube on any of your installs?

Thanks all,
Richard

You don’t mention rim tape?
Regards
Richard

Beat me too it!

James at Pedals is really helpful, BUT he is in Edinburgh. They have usually got at least one demo built up , always mediums I think.
You may be limited on colour choice at the moment,I think the blue is available but others (black and raw) seem to be out till end of April.
I’ve been looking at this and a 29 er Prime with one of my customers.
Give me a shout if you need any details.

Still thinking abou it seems a lot of mods required to the std spec to get it to where it should be?

Martin, thanks for the feedback, exactly what I was looking for, appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Anyone else got one of these?

Invisiframe, no question, easy to use and can even buy for specific frames in kit form if that floats your boat. Small company and really good customer service.

Thanks Buzz yes i have been in touch with them just need to hear from an owners pov.

Running 30t NW Raceface ring on std Deore 2 x 10 chain set. No issues with chain line or clearance to stay.
Richard

Think freeborn still have a few Covert frames in stock at good prices, web site sometimes lags so check with them direct.
Thanks
Richard

Thanks all

Gorsebank +1

Not solving your problem but as an alternative Wiggle is showing 2 Large x DL but in 134mm travel in stock, Nobody else seems to have any large sized examples in either of the travel sizes in 27.5 or large in 29 either.

Yeah wheelbase had several medium frames last weekend for £1299 no other sizes on display though.

Lovely, gutted to let mine go.
Richard

Think this needs to go in for sale section?

Yes I had to do this too, all ok.
Richard

If you read the press release, the detail is that they will also make frames for other manufacturers, I guess that is the business case for the joint venture manufacturing facility.
Richard

Thanks all keep suggestions coming please

Echo Northends comments, yesterday morning was great, bit wet in Hully Gully but Swoopy,Homebaked and Hope line fine.
Richard

I have one in my teenage sons room now surplus to requirements. Its solid, has a wardrobe at one end as well as a desk and drawers underneath. Takes a single mattress. It cost > £500 let me know if its of interest, I can send some pics to you if you like. I may be able to deliver (From Preston) if its of interest as I have friends in the Dumfries area. £100 plus £25 petrol money sound reasonable.
Richard

I have a medium Mark 3 Soul frame for sale. Was bought in December 2013 and built up.Ridden once. Its Orange and obviously mint.
It comes with a Hope pick and mix Headset, (£75) I would be keen to sell to someone on here.
I also have a new Fox Float RLC 120mm for the above, tapered steerer with 15mm maxle.
Let me know if of interest.
Richard

Split now, thanks for your advice.
