Will come with some bottomless tokens for the fork and an unused volume reduction spacer for the rear shock.

Sonder Cortex SLX

I’ve had this since May 2022, but have only ridden it during the summer.
It’s a great bike, lots of fun, but most of the time I don’t do the kind of riding that it’s designed for so have switched to something more XC.

This is a link to the current SLX model, I don’t think the spec or frame has changed since I bought mine.
https://alpkit.com/products/sonder-cortex-slx

But I did make some changes from the stock model:

• Rear shock upgraded to Cane Creek DBair IL, super plush, loadsa adjustability.
  
• Wheels upgraded from Sonder Nova to Sonder Alpha - lighter, nicer hubs, more productive.
  
• Revelation damper upgraded to the Charger 2.1 RCT3, which I believe means the forks are essentially the same as a pair of Pikes.
  
• Tubeless Set-up
  
  

Everything works great, there are probably a couple of small marks here and there on the frame, but nothing major.

I’ve done about 70 hours of riding on it. The forks have had their first (50 hour / oil change) service. The rear shock is recommended a first service at 100 hours.
The front tubeless set up isn’t perfect, it looses a bit of air overnight, but I just pumped the tyres up to the right pressure before each ride and it was fine.
The tyres are the stock ones it came with, I switched to something more XC after a couple of short rides, so these ones are pretty much new.
I cut the bars down a bit so they are 710 wide.
Crappy plastic pedals in the photos are not included, unless you really really want them.

Any questions / further info needed please ask.

Final price drop before ebay.
£1000 picked up from SE4
£1050 posted to mainland UK (properly boxed up and sent via Paisley Freight).

@infmz and @Aroogah. Thanks, also something I’ll consider. I have already repaired these once, so was thinking maybe I’d be better off with a brand new one. Though sounds like maybe it's best to think of them as Trigger’s joycon.

Cheers, I hadn’t thought of that, but not a bad idea, I’ll take a look.

We got a yuba Kombi a couple of months ago. A lot cheaper than a tern and I’m happy with it.

My joycons seem to be broken. Well to be exact only one of them and only a bit broken, but broken enough to make it annoying.

I don’t want to pay £60 for a new set of official nintendo ones. There seem to be 1000s of almost identical looking knock off ones on amazon and ebay. Has anyone bought any of these / can anyone point me to a pair that will do all the same things as the official ones and won’t break in a week?

Definitely 175mm. Found a photo of the back. If you really really zoom in you can see it.

Does £25 posted sound fair? Let me know if that is way off.

I’ve got an old slx one if that might be of interest?

175mm I think, but would have to get it out of the loft to check.

Cheers @c.h.e and @JB. Will just keep it for watch related emergencies then.

Before I leave this out for the local scavengers is anyone interested in a fairly basic rear wheel that I took off my partner's hybrid?

The rim is fine, straight, a bit worn but plenty of life left in it.

The hub is a bit rough but does run. It's a cup and cone hub. I had a quick look and the cones on both sides are fairly pitted. I didn't investigate further, it could be that if you replace the cones and bearings you could get it running smoothly again, though I suspect the cups are a bit worn as well.

Shimano HG freehub and I think I have the QR skewer somewhere to go with it.

If you want it give me a shout. Pick up in SE4, near Crofton Park station.

Cheers, I did have a quick look on ebay after posting here and you're right they do seem to sell. Not for loads, but enough to make it worth my while I think.

Hello watch people.

I have an old Storm watch that I haven't worn for years. I don't know what model it is. It says 'retro' on the back. But googling storm retro doesn't come up with anything useful.

Do any of you know if it is likely to be worth selling?

Hello camera people.

I know nothing about cameras. Is anyone likely to be interested in this? Either you guys, or if I put it up on eBay.

It is an EX-S770. It needs a new battery, but as far as I remember works fine when it has one.

Really sad news. :(

Don’t know if Aram liked this song but it’s one of my faves.

Which pragmasis chain was it?

Asking cos I’ve got one.

Think Superstar might still have some rims in their clearance sale. 70% off with the code RIM70.

I'm not sure the emails work. I tried to reply to my email, but got an error message.

I had actually been sent a code, but for some reason (maybe I signed up via a VPN) it was in German.

Anyway, I went on the website and went through a couple of loops in the chat bot until I got to chat to an actual person (or a very convincing AI), then explained the situation and they gave me a code.

No worries. Managed to get a proper UK one via the GCN chat bot.

All the snooker I could ever want.

I'll take it if no one else has.

I got sent a German one (no idea why) but can't get that to work, even with a vpn.

Bike, Monkey bars and seat all sold now.

Still have the Thorn stoker stem extension.

More info on it here: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/stems/thorn-tandem-stoker-stem-extension-for-1-18-stems-17-deg-black-170mm/

Mine includes a shim to fit it to 27.2 seat posts.

£15.

Not those. But I recently fitted mudhuggers gravel guards. A bit more coverage than those ones, but stay in place well and easy to remove if necessary.

Yeah, we’re already on Octopus I’m afraid, but thinking of switching from the standard flexible tariff to the tracker.

Thanks for the info though. Hadn’t even heard of super tracker so will look into that.

Considering switching to Octopus tracker. Anyone on it and regret it?

Mine just arrived! Were ‘processing’ until last night.

They look good. Have put them back in the box so they can be wrapped up and stuck under the tree for Christmas morning.
