    Nice, best colourway they did I think! Particularly like the cruiser/town build.

    Looking back at pictures of it now it looks very short and steep! Was great fun with 160mm 36s though. Found an extra small 26" BFe for my wife recently too, in the same colour as mine from 10 years ago.

    Gen1 too, they heavily discounted the last few frames they had left at the end of last year and going for one of them rather than a Gen2 meant I could afford a better shock and fork. 1° change to seat angle and a 5mm lower bb plus an extra brace tube on the Gen2 didn't seem worth the extra cash. Looking at the specs of the OneUp post I might be able to squeeze in 190mm.

    Can't get enough of it, it's bloody brilliant! It's my fifth Cotic now, started on a 26" BFe.

    My only complaint is the max insert length for a dropper isn't massive. I've got a 200mm Trans-x +rad shimmed down to 170mm and it's still a bit high at max insertion on a large frame at 5'11. Probably need to try a OneUp and I might be able to get 180/190mm travel. What size frame/dropper are you running?

    And to add something mountain bike-y, I'm starting to get a good feel for the Jeht after six years solely on a hardtail (SolarisMax). Swapped the build from the Solaris + a new Lyrik onto the Jeht frame a couple of months ago. Riding the same trails I was previously the speed and confidence increase is significant, helped by a change from older Specialized Butchers to Conti Kryptotals too I'm sure. Out last night in snow and negative temperatures.

    Got a wanted post up but thought I might get a better response here, has anyone got any Hope Pro2 Evo/Pro 4 endcaps lying around they'd sell? Looking to convert a pair of hubs from QR to boost so I'm after 15mm front boost and 148x12 rear boost.

    Hey folks,
    Looking for the following endcaps for my QR Hope Pro2 Evo hubs (Pro4 endcaps are the same)

    • 15mm front end caps (code - HUB441)
    • 15mm boost front end cap (I think this is just a single side that goes with one of the non-boost 15mm front caps (code - HUB1009-14N))
    • 148x12 rear end caps (code - HUB493)

    Thanks

    Love this, I'm a big Cotic fan. I think this is a 1 of 2 prototype, I was chatting to Paul from Cotic on a demo day a few months ago about his green one that he'd ridden in that day.

    I've got some purple pedals that have been on the cycletruck for a while but don't match the colour of anything else on there so I've stripped them down to service and de-anodize. A dunk in a caustic soda solution with the threads protected by grease has been effective. I'm not going to bother polishing them as they'll get bashed around and grubby on a bike used through winter around town.
