I know Performance Line Bearings are putting everything together into a Shimano servicing kit - which will be great! Allowing you to get all necessary parts for a thorough job under a single order without having to hunt and peck for what might be needed.

The bearing puller I used is in the pic - the black legged device lower right of image. It wasn't great quality and struggled to get the rather industrial leg ends under a couple of the smaller bearings - meaning they had to be levered off with flat punches / screwdrivers but knowing I was...

Well after 4,000 miles of pretty unsympathetic use and abuse my Shimano motor had started to grind and groan. There was definitely feelable grind or play through the cranskshaft when spinning at higher cadence and the motor just seemed to be quite "whiny" although it hadn't just appeared, it had...

Mine in UK has Fit4. I did query it upon delivery, as the demo bike had the regular Fox36 chassis with older RSC damper. Though at the time of build (earlier in 2018), Merida had made the switch to the ebike specific fork (upgrade from the demo model I rode) yet Fox were only supplying that E...

Either a simple thin neckwarmer (the sort that always seem to be given away with magazines this time of yesr) pulled up into helmet to cover ears, or the best thing I've tried, is a Halo headband. Thin neoprene with ear bits thats come down from the main band. Thin enough to stuff in a pocket...

Thank you Stretch, I'm away with work this next week, though will be aiming to make it along for Tuesday 25th.

Another hand waving here to come along. So meet at Peter Driver car park for pedals spinning by 19:00?

I too threw a new 29" front wheel in at the weekend and had my first run out on it last night. Seems much faster rolling and as said, faster steering - though I think some of that is change in tyre choice and width (I went with a 2.5" WT DHF) - I just found the 2.8" tyre up front to be almost...

Excellent - though I'd need a restraint strap on the front :-)

Would that be Di2 to those of us with battery powered shifting? If so, I might be interested...

Bob, what do you mean by "with SDI"?

I tried a large before buying the medium and I'm 5'9" To be honest, reach on the large was preferable for me, though I like plenty of room to move around and have a long torso in relation to legs (29" inseam). The deciding factor for me, as with most frames I throw a leg over, is the seat post...

I think the weight and these tractor sized tyres will take some adjusting to. It is fun being able to point it at any upwards gradient and simply pedal up anything though :)

Mine arrived an hour or so ago and it's presently charging, to be ready for it's maiden outing this evening.

Ordered the 900 today. Really looking forward to getting out on it.
