    Travelodge in Kendal will let you bring your bike into the room, but the rooms have hardly any spare floor space. And Keswick youth hostel have a large bike storage shed round the back.

    Bosch CX side panel lose

    Stick it in a box with all the other crap👍 Stick one of these on instead and confuse everyone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115327139838?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cVwn01L9Q0a&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cuZ_4z8tRqC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Where’s my buzz gone

    Yes if I had actually read the message instead of just the microspline bit 😱 It's a classic case of engage brain before opening mouth 🤣 But I am old 🤔

    Where’s my buzz gone

    Shit mano micro spline freehubs don't have pawls. They are a ratchet type setup. Basically as said earlier, your stripdown and rebuild has resulted in the rear hub being a fraction wider and it's trapping the freehub so it's no longer free to rotate. You could always ignore the do not dissemble...

    Bent crank arm

    Although the op was taking the piss, the tyre lever against the bottom shock mounting and a bit of careful force, bent it back the 5mm that was causing my heal to catch the upper rear triangle..

    Bent crank arm

    Sorted now with the tyre lever. I put a dent in the swinging arm so it now measures the same as the other side🤣 Regarding pedals, they are Sam hill oil slick that were on offer for £20 a pair 👍

    Rockshox spares in the UK

    They only stop a bit of unpressurized oil from dripping out as the air and damper are sealed units.

    Need a chain guide for Mondraker

    If it's a Bosch motor then try using it without the guide. I've found it caused more problems on than off. So long as the clutch on the derailleur is working I found its not really needed.

    Brake discs rubbing

    Only guessing here but aren't you supposed to undo the bite point screw on the lever before the bleeding process? I believe it lets the piston's fully retract and helps to stop the wandering bite point associated with Shimano brakes..

    Flying with BA

    I flew to Geneva without a battery without any problems. Although coming home I was asked if it was an ebike by the airline, and obviously I said no! Without the battery it's just a heavy bike so don't worry. It's the security that might kick up a fuss, but nothing nasty is going to show up on...

    Worth going tubeless?

    Worth going tubeless?

    I wouldn't dream of not being tubeless. The other month on hire bikes 5 of us had 23 flats in 6 days. My front tyre has about 30 thorn's in it and I've never touched it apart from checking the pressure.

    A mate has a GoPro mount on his mudguard but I've not seen what he uses for a light.

    Missing Bolt

    Standard metric bolt. As for size I can't remember off hand. Take the other one out and measure the width. Length could be different depending on the post.

    Geometry experts please!

    Thanks for disecting the ride and glad you enjoyed it 👍. The washout was quite possibly wrong line and my body position but it gave an idea of what's happening since I altered the rear shock position. It's looking like 63° head angle is about the limit of the frame for stability. I've never...

    Geometry experts please!

    My last video at 12.50 show's me washing out and I had only just set off from the top of the decent. Edit. I was blaming the front brake but it wasn't that.
