That answers my question that remained unanswered :
Tubeless Presta valves vs Schrader valve (with inserts)
Hello friends, I don't find Presta valves practical at all, especially for inflating, but also for reading tire pressure. What would you recommend as a tubeless Schrader valve with the option of putting my inserts, I can't find much in specialized stores.. Thanks 🍻

more financial ruin 
Manitou are my favoured Mtb suspension and I have used their 'basic' Mara damper so naturally went looking for the Mara Pro damper for the rear of my Canyon Torque:ON (if I ever get a 'safe' battery?) with trunion mount in 225x70mm - Manitou are not easily available here in the UK so bought a used one on EbayUSA that got lost in customs so looked for new and bought from Starbike in Germany
BUT....
while searching for the best priced damper tripped over a seriously cheaper conventional 'eye' mount in 230x65mm that could be used on one of our other bikes so this was also captured
- this was from BikeDiscount again in Germany
Both starbike.com and bike-discount.de were faultless inn their service and happily posted from Germany to Wales

Well my favoured Öhlins RFX 38 forks are with J-Tech for a warranty claim (they’re only 10 months old and need a new CSU!), so I’ve bought a set of crowns to put the double crown Öhlins DH38s from the DH bike onto my KSL.
It’ll be interesting to see how it rides with 200mm up front, over stroked to 65mm on the rear, and absolutely no steering lock

Is there a stronger aftermarket part you can use, perhaps in addition? We have bashguards from Protect-Emtb for our Rails. Perhaps you could adapt one to fit your bike?I had to buy a new motor case for the wild after a kiss in the woods with a fallen tree

Protect E-MTB do a bash guard for the Wild. Also Rockstop do one for EMTBs.I had to buy a new motor case for the wild after a kiss in the woods with a fallen tree
I've got both on my wild.

The missing parts for my winter servicetime from a few posts above have arrived.
Last minute change of mind - I went for the new Schwalbe Albert radial front and rear @ €120 including tax and shipping, instead of the Schwalbe Magic Mary radial. I expect the Albert with its less aggressive tread from shoulder to shoulder fit my elderly less aggressive riding stile better than the MM tread.
And after more than 15k km with the MM I just want to try something new.
As this is my first go with tubeless, I needed some additional stuff.
Finally some small parts and tools for the other work I’m planning - new steering head bearings, which I bought in August when Acros had their yearly service sales, and the DT Swiss plug in tool from my rear axle which I lost a while ago.
Now all I’m waiting for is dreadful weather and the right mood to stay put in the basement.

Were they £10 off ebay, as i've just been caught out with some (that still haven't been delivered)
Said in another thread to try something like front 29 psi and rear 31 psi. Must be like fucking concrete.
Far from it. At 30psi they feel like a normal tyre does at 20. That's kinda part of the whole point.

Obviously depends a lot on bike+rider weight, how much do you weigh Weeksy?
Dude, haven't you read any single article how radial tires work compared to other tires? You should
I do so much like being patronised. But it evidently makes you feel better so keep it up. Dude.Dude, haven't you read any single article how radial tires work compared to other tires? You should
Update! Seller (somehow) messages, offering a £3 refund & I can keep the gloves. Me: Get F***ed.
Sorry, didn't mean to patronize anybody, I just tought that everybody knows the radials since it has been all over bike media, my mistake.I do so much like being patronised. But it evidently makes you feel better so keep it up. Dude.
Yeah, and to get the refund you'll need to supply them with your bank account details so they can "transfer it"...

Unsurprisingly it went really well downhill with the DH38s, but they didn’t do it any favours when pedalling! I won’t be leaving them on there, if I’m going to ride something that pedals like cr4p I’d rather just ride my Commencal (which these forks came off).
Unfortunately my Ohlins coil shock is also still off being serviced so I had to ride the 2022 Fox Float X2 that came with the frame. It’s the first time it’s been ridden and the damper failed after 6 miles so it was bottoming out constantly despite 200psi (I’m 50kg). Off to Fox it goes…
