Next Sunday anyone?

Pending weather I'll be doing this some time between 17-24 October. Anyone is welcome to join.

Going to Dorking tomorrow for a short and sweet xc loop.
Epping is way above my pay grade right now.

Finished it last weekend. Now just need to learn how to ride.

Found some stems in my other spares box. Sell them on.

They come true to Adidas size and are on the wider side of things. I'm 11 and that's what I went for.

Yeah. They lasted about 1000 miles of mixed riding. Liked them enough to get another pair. The rubber is super soft and has tons of grip.

Did multi day offroad rides with this. It's ace.

Superstar Nano. They even come in XL if you have wide feet like me.

It's somewhere at the airport.

Order placed end of Feb, wheels left HK a week ago.
Order placed mid Feb, wheels arrived three weeks ago.

Nah, switched to rigid. Saves me from pumping it up.

240psi in the shock right now. Need to find someone brave to huck to flat it.

I do it only after service or when I get fatter.

Sorted. There's a thin metal spacer/seal on the inside of the hub, this got stuck on the XD freehub body. In effect I was trying to put two of those in one hub and that lead to seising.

Guess my other hub isn't a 350 then. Microspline body works fine on both, xd seizes as soon as I bolt the wheel in the frame. Or I'm missing a spacer.

Quarantine gains!

I got a whole kona unit on sale for under 600. Frames are even cheaper. Check this store from time to time https://shop.bikesandbuddies.co.uk/.
I was almost 100kg at the time and the weight still bothered me. Maybe cos I disliked the bike.

DT swiss 240/350 freehub bodies are interchangeable, right?

Had a tarn. Do not recommend. It's on a porky side and handling isn't great. New kona unit is much better. I liked mine a lot.

I usually camp as close to a water tap as possible. Makes dinner and brekfast that much easier.

Great summer rear tyre. The xc race version is a bit fragile and has a lower limit of 30psi.

Swinley open to locals.

Just the airshaft, you can re use the rest of the internals. You'll also need some oil for the lowers, and grease for the shaft. Sram butter and 15w if I'm not mistaken.

20 psi with cushcore xc insert on 29x2.35 at 100KG kitted weight. Seems fine. On 29x3 I run 8 front, 9 back with no inserts.
