Nice one. Do you happen to know the name of the model?

So it will work, but with cool aero holes in my chainring......... Excellent.

That doesn't look like the same spline as this;

Which I've just ordered in a 38t boost.

Ah, it must be SRAM then. Cheers. It does have three bolts as you described.

Does anyone know what kind of direct mount spline Marin use on their own brand cranks? I think it might be SRAM gxp?

I'm after a 38t single chainring for my "adventure" MTB.

Grady Greenspace. When the English version on CITV was on, the rat villains scared the shit out of me.

I also thought this, but doing this means there is too much excess material which causes more folds and pinch points.

@SuperSalat It may have to be back to the shoe goo, although it's eventually just cracks also.

@doubleodavey I reckon I'll give them a shot as my next shoe then. Tread looks good for the sloppy hills around mine, not so much for the 4km of pavement to get to the hills though.

Yep. All my shoes over the years have done so also, but in my case they're always failing well before the "500 mile" refund mark that most shops say you should get out of them.

The Altras I just returned I only for 250 miles out of them

I've said it before here, but I swear by intervals, even for long distance. If you have access to a treadmill even better. 5 - 10 minute warm up
15 minutes of 30 seconds flat out/30 second stopped. Will do absolute wonders for your cardiovascular and fitness, but not easy.

I'm tempted to get those stupid vibram shoes next... Don't tempt me.

@t-v forgive my snobbery, but they look a bit cheap? Saying that, the ones that I think look durable, are not.

That is madness!
Blisters don't seem to be an issue, fortunately.

If I keep running in the shoes, they will end up like those in the link anyway. Maybe that's the plan. Just keep running in them and get some waterproof socks.......

Does anyone else get this same problem?

I've tried nearly every brand of running shoe, and quite a few different models. I have very flat feet so trying to find a well fitting and robust trail shoe is difficult.
The best shoe over the years has been the saucony Xodus Iso 2 for durability, it couldn't be beat as the weak point on my running shoes is always on the outside of the shoe where the wee toe rubs. I always wear through, or the seam bursts.

The problem is the saucony Xodus Iso 2 has been "upgraded" in the 3, and the weak point for my feet at the wee toe is now not as built up in that shoe.

I burst through my Altras. I wore through my last peregrines. I burst the seam on the hokas. I wore through on the Salomon trailster and a pair of old cross.

Now I've gone for the new saucony peregrine 10 ST. I already know they're going to burst through the sides and I'll get ANOTHER refund or exchange.

Does anyone else have this problem or have any ideas for recommendations?

Which full length mudguards (SKS or flinger preferably) would I need for 27.5 x 2.0 ?

Can I use a 700c?

Which full length mudguards (SKS) would I need for 27.5 x 2.0 for my pine mountain?

Dm'd you on this if that's cool?

Nice one. Cheers. Know of anything like that in 25 inner?

Fucked it. So it's a wheel return then?

Do you know which DT Swiss wheels will fit?

I'm miffed,

Bought a bike with;

FRAME

Double Butted CrMo, 27.5+ Wheels, Boost 141x9mm Open Dropouts

FORK

CrMo, Thru-Axle, Suspension Corrected, Boost 110mm Spacing, QR Lever.

So bought,

DT Swiss X 1900 Spline 25 27.5" Boost Wheel Set

With,

DT Swiss Retrofitting Kit for 240S Rear Hub to QR 135mm
And
DT Swiss 350/370 VR Disc Brake 5x100mm QR Conversion Kit.

I double checked with the store online before I bought them that they would do the job, but the adapters make my hubs too wide.
Have I fucked up with my wheel size or are they the wrong adapters? The wheels for well with no adapter but I need QR as the frame is no bolt through.

What was the name of the canal you pulled these frames out of? I could do with a colnago master pista

Nice one. Cheers

Cool, cheers. I'm looking at a new wheelset then.

They would be ok for 25mm inside rim?

For this set up,

What SKS mudguard size should I go for?

Mountain Range B65?

I also need the boost QR conversion kit for front and rear wheel. It's a Shimano free hub. What conversion kit should I be after?

Cheers,

Also might check out these

But I'm guessing these won't fit?

https://www.wiggle.co.uk/wtb-horizon-tcs-road-tyre/

Not sure what 47c equates to.

Or may just get smaller rims, but these are QR boost so reckon I'd need a conversion kit.

38mm inner

Just got me a Marin 27.5+. Looking for daily use tyres to use instead of the full on MTB tread. Mostly road, but with the ability for some rough stuff.

WTB horizons, panaracer gravel kings seem to be the most common tyres I'm reading about.
What are the recommendations?

If anyone has anything worthwhile to sell in good condition, even better.
