Nope, they make pretty much zero noise unless contaminated. The Galfer greens are much quieter than the Hayes sintered pads I used to use. I recently tried a set of Galfer reds because I was at the bike park and hadn’t taken spares, and that was all they had in stock, and the noise was unreal...

Greens all year and in all conditions (UK) because I loathe bedding pads in and would rather pay a tiny bit more money to skip it!

Bit of a long shot on anyone being as short as I am 😂. The Ohlins coil was great until it decided to throw its toys out of the pram and came out of the van like this one day. My OH and Mark at the BPW workshop (who is a gem) managed to fix it but the damper is now making a horrible noise on...

If you’re ever at BPW and the right height to fit on a size S3 you’re welcome to have a few runs on mine!

I’m 52kg and generally run 1-2 spring rates higher than recommended so it makes sense I’m getting less pedal strikes! Interesting you picked up on how slack that front end is, it was a bit too much so I swapped the crowns for ones with a different offset to steepen it closer to stock geo and...

Mine rides fine uphill as a mullet, I’ve taken quite a lot of Strava QOMs (up and down hill!) off people riding full-power e-bikes without a lot of effort. I don’t really get pedal strikes even running the stock 165mm cranks. Mullet makes the bike so much easier to turn and better in steep and...

DT Swiss 240 hubs with DT FR541 rims, they’re basically indestructible. Prior to using FR541 rims I destroyed 7 rear wheels in a year! I had a Hope Pro5 rear hub for a while and could never stop the rear brake from rubbing because the disc mount face hadn’t been machined straight, so it looked...

Only by really unfit people who feel like they're dying pushing DH bikes up the uplift queue (me!) 😅. Nope, I regularly see kids who are clearly under 14 riding ebikes there.

Bike decided to be very expensive over the weekend: - Purple Hayes Dominions to replace the dreadful TRP DHR Evos after they refused to work in the wet - Hayes rotors - T-Type XO cassette as the original has ~3k miles on and is a bit worn - XO TT chain to go with the cassette - Deathgrips as my...

Galfer green brake pads for the Hayes Dominions and TRPs, I went with greens because I hate bedding in pads 😅. Also an EXT Storia for the DH KSL build, I went Storia rather than e-Storia because I’m only 50kg and the bike is ~19kg (and it was a chunk cheaper). Now about to order a million...

I’d say that’s not normal at all and you should get in contact with your local Spesh dealer so they can handle the warranty.

Flatted another rim [Friday], nearly killed another GX Transmission mech (pogo pins are starting go so intermittent battery connection issues) [Saturday], ran out of pad material on the front brakes (oops) [Sunday], and then fell off it on 50 Shades of Black and took a massive chunk out of the...

On 3rd March Canyon finally accepted my request to return the bike (Torque:ON). Just a shame that it took from 21st Dec and raising a S75 claim with Klarna to get to this point 🙄.

Fitted a set of forks I nicked off the other half - his brand new Manitou Dorado Pros 🙊. They’re goooooooooooood.

Does a van to cart it around count? 🙊 It’s a bit of a change from my current bike mover which is an 1986 ex-army Land Rover 90.

Garmin Fenix 6S Pro here. I like it because it connects to my KSL and can record power data for Strava etc so I get an accurate calorie burn and TSS. I had an Apple Watch before the Garmin and much prefer that for the day-to-day functionality, but the power data on the Garmin is too good to...

I must be weird because I’ve always found the Öhlins coil shocks have far more “pop” than any Fox or RS air shocks. I recently sold my spare Öhlins coil to a pro MTB coach for his Levo SL and he was blown away at how poppy it is.

A new lid to replace the one that saved me a concussion when I smacked the back of my head into a tree on Roots Manoeuvres. I’ve always used the 100% Aircraft 2 and they’ve been fabulous — I didn’t even have a concussion when I hit the ground hard enough to crack the shell of the helmet — but...

OneUp bars and direct mount stem for my DH Kenevo SL build. Manitou Dorados will be going up front, currently undecided on the shock. We’ve got a fair selection in the house so I’m spoilt for choice - Manitou Mara Pro (though this is unlikely to fit in the shock tunnel), Ohlins coil, Fox DHX2...

Already posted on the "what did you do to your ebike" thread but I'm hoping to catch someone on here who's seen this before. Brand new 1.1 KSL frameset (purchased direct from Spesh in November 24), never ridden or even been sat on as I've not got round to building it up yet -- it's a spare for...
