Dibs hover bar - pm coming

I'm selling my Monitor Audio GX300 speakers, I still have the original boxes and all packaging, but slightly concerned about them going in the post.
I'm looking for recommendations on couriers to use for posting big heavy speakers. Any one in particular to use or is it just a case of going on Parcelmonkey?

Yeah I do understand that some glues can actually be insanely strong. An example that comes to mind being the glue that was used on the fork on the Time Machine, I think going by the spec sheet, it was said that they carbon fibre or metal would fail before the bond did?

Even though I know that they obviously sufficient enough to be used in aeroplanes, it’s still hard to get past.

I guess it does indeed come down to it being done properly. Aeroplane manufacturers (maybe not Boeing) obviously have strict QC and it’s all done properly.
The problem is trusting small bike brands to be doing it properly.

Please don’t 😂 flying to Mallorca tomorrow

Yeah, just pointing out to user Sensom that the frame that broke apparently was the same one used at hardline.

My brain just can’t get round gluing frames together

"The frame that broke had been raced at Hardline and seen numerous practice runs put on it in the lead-up to the Crankworx DH finals, so it hadn't exactly had an easy start to its life."

Fair enough, I haven’t seen centreline-x specced on a bike for years, I thought they were discontinued.
I had two that cracked where the alloy carrier body meets the rivet.

£14k* and you get the previous generation etap centreline rotor.

Yes pm me if interested

moving elsewhere

Edit - undibs sorry, not what I thought I needed

No, sorry, would rather just keep it all together for now.

Yeah 12 speed

Sold

I've got a complete brand new groupset for sale, mix of rival and force d1 and d2

Noted thanks, will hold out a while and see what happens.
fwiw I'd only part with the frame once the bulk of the other parts had buyers.

Ah should have mentioned it was repainted by the original owner @broken_777 who works for Fairlight. I'd argue that it's nicer than any of the stock colours and doesn't have the horrible decals on the top tube.

Removed

er... I think its going up for sale! Too many bikes, not enough time blah blah blah

If anyone wants a 58r Faran with a Force/Red/Rival AXS groupset let me know!

adding a sram red axs 10-33 cassette Sold

interesting is that Atherton have a double metal wall in their joints

Yeah, I was reading up on single wall versus double wall lugs last night before I fell asleep.
Seems like a bit of an engineering oversight going with single wall lugs.
One would assume that Pivot had tested the bonded single wall lug to failure before letting anyone ride a frame, but maybe not.
From what I’ve read, the double lug method that Atherton use seems much less likely to fail in this way but I still don’t think I could trust a double lug bond either.

I think the prototype Demo frame has been through two seasons of WC racing now, I’m wondering if it uses single or double wall lugs.

I don't think I could ever trust a lugged mountain bike frame. I can't imagine the production version is going to be lugged.
I wonder if thats the original prototype he was riding or the same one from hardline?

I just placed an order for jockey wheels and headset spacers... I'm feeling lucky
