    Chain wrap doesn’t exactly look ideal with the link. Wonder if there is any impact on drivetrain life.

    Just did my m810 yesterday. Syringe at caliper pushing fluid, another syringe to drain the reservoir when it fills. Keep draining the res until You’ve flushed enough fluid through. Works a treat.

    Sounds like poor brant might be suffering from battered wife syndrome. Could be time for an intervention.

    After this latest delay, I gave up and have just ordered a Transfer instead.

    Kinda short (490 in XL) and kinda steep 66deg. No envelopes being pushed at SC with this one .

    And those tall head tubes.

    It’s a ‘meh’ from me.

    Just pulled a set of race matrix off the commuter bike. Bought after reading the love they get on here. Coming from Shimano sintered, the RM didn’t have nearly the same bite or power, and have worn out disappointingly fast. back to sintered for me.

    Oh, and the backing plates had rust spots on them in the pack.

    Mounted a 29×2.6 hillbilly a few days ago, measures bang on 2.4. Was expecting that after reading reviews though.

    Just finishing up building 29er 481s with dt350s. They’re going to be more than sturdy enough for my riding. Not a fan of the matt surface finish though. First time using the PHR system too.

    Prepare and practise what you’re going to say (eg. your services pitch). This takes a huge amount of pressure off, then you just have to take care of the delivery. Having to ad-lib will only add to the pressure.

    Last FF hasn’t been available in anything other than XL for over 6 months. I gave up asking for an ETA on the next shipment and moved on.

    I’ve the 15 with qr, then converted it to 9mm thru dt rws. DT website has a list of adaptors for each hub.

    Personally I thought MC Hammer was great.

    Goes to show how confusing only supplying sagged geo is, as some people will still compare it to other bikes static numbers.

    Solaris looks great btw, although I prefer the seat stay detail on the small compared to the mini wishbone on the others.

    Has anyone seen the DHF 29 x 2.5 for sale recently? Stock seems very low around the web.

    Its a two wheeled bike, so half the weight of the bike is on the front.

    ummm…what?

    Basically they get my money for coming up with the idea, rather than Superstar getting my money for copying it.

    Works just copied the Saar headsets.

    Rambler was one of the worst tyres ive ever had. Rediculously loose bead, very round profile, low volume, knobs tear off, and endless punctures. I found the Riddler and GK both better than the Nano fwiw. The Nanos lack of shoulder knobs made it sketchy in the dirt and ruts.

    Was tempted by a smuggler, just a shame they forgot to make the new sbg models hollow though.

    “I think it could have a shorter seat tube- the 2018 is only 8mm shorter in the XL model compared to last year’s. With 170mm droppers I want the most slammed seat tube possible”.

    +1, don’t know why most manufacturers have such a hard time figuring this one out.

    “I’ve currently got WTB 37C Riddlers on one bike, I think I’d be pushing it to get the 45C version in there but might try the 40C Nanos at some point. ”

    40c nano measured exactly the same as the 45c riddler on my dt460 rims. Riddler was a little taller though.

    Now have riddler front, GK 43c rear, which I prefer to the Nano.

    Looks like the moxie is indeed now on sale. Tempting now that the last ffd is still months away from being back in stock.

    ” Will it fit much bigger tyres though? I know it’ll fit the Explorer 1.75. Is 2″ possible? ”

    2.0 Moe joe fits fine FWIW.
