How do the Terrex shoes size up compared to 5:10?

Happy with the Bosch Aerotwins from WiperBlades.co.uk
Giving the blades and the windscreen a proper clean ever now and then helps immensely.

I ordered the 130mm 29er boost grip performance at €280 when I first saw this psa ,when i got the second confirmation email they described them as rythym perf grip

Just checked and mine is described the same. Hopefully it’s a Performance fork that turns up.

Also received a dispatch email today.

Ordered a 29er 34 Perf 130mm boost (non pedal elec), but seems to have vanished from the website now. See if it gets dispatched.

Love my RLT, but never been a fan of their FS frames with the horrible reach around lower linkage.

Hey now, play nice!

(Wonder how much shipping is…)

Had a SC Jeff Kendall (terrible)

Then a PP Underhill (still have it)

Wanted a Schmitt Danger

I sat on a large Sentinel and it felt fine at 183cm.
I was interested in the Smuggler, but the shop didn’t have any.
Any chance you can weigh the Smuggler frame? I was scared off by the ’18 Patrol weighing a porky 4.2kg.

Much like those cast Empire frames, this seems to be a solution in search of a problem.

Ex-lease Mazzer, can be had for (relative) peanuts if you email around. Grinder for life.

We have the old version folding Mow Joes in 2.0 (380g), can be run at very low pressures. Best weight/volume tyre I could find at the time.

Bike shop had a couple of Sentinels being built along with a Patrol frame. Really nice frames with clever details, but staggering heavy (Patrol was a tank-like 4.2kg).
Hopefully the new Smuggler hasn’t been beefed up in the same way.

2 sample T-test will tell you the probability of the samples being from the same population.

ensuring your rim is ready for a solid pounding

Sign me up!

8mm in the back of my old cro-mo Zero’s.

A 2018 patrol frame in the bike shop was a staggering 4.2kg.

We’ve long held a patentable dampening solution…

A what solution?

My 40c nano has done thousands of km on the front of my commuter, 70/30 road/offroad. It’s now on the back and has loads of life left.

Yes, the bearings are external to the shell. I’m using a Shimano crank in a Praxis PF30 BB, works perfectly.
What crank are you planning on using?

wtf, no 58.5mm bases. I’m out.

That Pipedream Moxie may well just have gone to the top of my n+1 list

Ditto. I was holding out for the next delivery of Fast Forwards, but, but, but, but…

I found the Conti Speed CX terrible. Slippery, harsh, puncture prone. They are cheap though.
I’d go GK for the size you’re after.

I ended up getting mine from Germany (R2) a couple of weeks ago. Nice tyre btw.

I take it you’ve done this with non-finned pads?

Yes, Shimano g40s pads. Just replaced these with Uber matrix pads, which have required more fettling as the pad material isn’t as accurately located on the backing plate. Will be interesting to see how they compare to the Shimano pads.

Yup, about half a mm per edge.

Freeza rotors and ground Shimano 785 sintered pads.

How was the fit of the Igus bushes Ultracrepidarian?

they just tap in, easier to change than bearings.

This is what I used, Igus do free samples btw.

Main Pivots (6 bushes):
iglidur J
Code JFI-0809-08
1/2″ shaft
1/2″ wide

Stay Pivots (4 bushes):
iglidur G
Code GFI-0708-04
7/16″ shaft
1/4″ wide

stovetop espresso

Coffee snob says No.

Drilling the Hemlock should be very similar to drilling a Turner. Stay away from welds and don’t go too close to the BB area:

I have DT r460 DB rims working flawlessly with a WTB Riddler/Nano combo tubeless. Used on road/gravel/singletrack.

Singular swift fork is fluttery as ****.

Avalanche for me.

Castelli Nano Light Pro working great for me.

Disappointed to hear that Last won’t have the next batch of Fast Forward frames for at least 6months, not sure if I want to wait that long.

And finally had enough of the abysmal excuse for a tyre that is the Maxxis Rambler on the CX bike, and awaiting delivery of a 45c Riddler.
