[Jirkovo]

We only live once....

 

[Geedog]

Hello, I picked up a new dropper for my trek, 210mm one up, put down to 190mm.
Will go on when I get a new motor!

This should be arriving next week for my Orbea Wild. Can’t wait to try out this e-Storia shock, so tired of having to rebuild my DHX2. I love Fox but the reliability of the newest DHX2 sucks.

Nothing too exciting, a new Fox XL mudguard for my 38s

Put one on my Turbo Levo last month...amazing shock, congrats!

I got tired of having to send my DHX2 in every six months to have the blown seals fixed. Fox needs to go back to a large 14mm shaft maybe like they use too.

Pivot hardware for Cannondale Habit Neo 4, industrial tweezers to coax out the cable guides currently slipped into the frame, replacement guides in the event of no success, SRAM NX Eagle x12 gear shifter, anti-seize, torque wrench (5-25nm), cable cutters/crimpers. Enough botching with plyers!

Only new chain whip, cassette and chain (probably push through on til summer) and new handlebar grips n she'll be good as new. (Once the computer/speedometer issues are resolved ) maybe some ice tyres too if it looks set to get cold, but so far that's... unlikely cursing myself here

Finally got around to fitting Santa's gifts. It's led to an issue though, the Kox mount is 31.8mm & the bar is 35, so I've had to maroon it halfway along the bar. Are 35mm Kiox mounts available does anyone know?

That is one sexy look shock

 

[Ian986]

I bought an GX AXS upgrade kit and a set of hope fortis 30 which I am awaiting delivery of both.

 

[Dr.GonzO]

Nothing, the damn thing is spoiled enough.....

 

[Husky430]

This little beauty

 

[Asemnos]

I bought a GoPro Hero 10, a chest mount and the new Remote.

 

[Semmelrocc]

After reading into this forum I got convinced I needed these for insurance, so that's what my bike got this week.

 

[Tubby G]

Vittoria Barzos 2.6 fitted today along with new NukeProof Neutron V2 rims. Wasn't sure about the graphite sidewalls but now they are on I think they look pretty good. The Neutron sounds lovely. Inaugural ride tomorrow.

How are you getting on with the Nukeproof Neutron rims & hub ? I’ve just ordered the V2 rear wheel. The hub sounds loud on the couple of YouTube vids I watched before purchasing

DJI Action 2 cam.
Clever little thing.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

I don’t normally buy cheap tools but I picked up this set of Allen keys from Aldi and they are great, all of them are very accurate and a good snug fit on all the Allen bolts/screws on my bike, time will tell as to how long they last but for just over £5 even if they last a year it’ll be worth it in my opinion.

A spare battery cover for my AXS derailleur which came in a handy little plastic pot which I’ll be using for when I do a lower leg service for soaking the sponge rings in.

3 spare chain link connectors( not pictured ).

Last but not least, my upgrade AXS rocker paddle, fitting the new AXS upgrade kit tomorrow and looking forward to that job very much.

Extra padding for going over logs and stuff

 

[Mabman]

170mm dropper from 100mm stock for a better fit:


New wheels and move to Mullet:

RF AR 35's with 2.8 rear/2.5 front WTB Vigilante rubber and DT 350's for better engagement.

Stock RS Yari fork was a bit short in the arch so I relieved it some for fit:

 

[2WheelsNot4]

Panniers
Pair of Thule shield 13lt. About 40 quid off new price(and they are new) ideal for my Thule pack 'n' pedal tour rack
Colour matched to the bike


What I really need is a rear mudguard now, and i might be forced to adapt or construct something.

Any more details? I need this

Hey, at least I didn't take out the whole arch! Plenty of meat left for it to serve it's purpose which on a thru axle fork is not as demanding as the old 10mm QR vert dropout days. In fact it used to be known as a "brake arch" bitd when the brake posts were mounted high up on the stanchions. A disc brake and thru axle distributes the forces differently.

A little history of what led me to this conclusion was years ago I ran into Doug Bradbury, the originator of Manitou, who in order to try out the new 29" wheels he had gotten took a Manitou with a thru-axle and completely chopped off the arch. At the time it was anything goes in regards to front suspension for 29" wheels so it didn't even seem that odd and he, being an engineer, had thought it through somewhat?

I am by no means advocating/advising for the gen pop to do the same btw. I'll keep an eye on it but expect it will be fine. Heck, I ran a 1000w+ DD hub motor w/regen in a carbon fork for over 3k and they said that shouldn't be done. It was fine with the right installation.
