time for a recent photo.... Saturday late morning coffee break in BPW 😎 I've yet to replace the rear shockabsorber as I'm (a little heavy) blasting the travel on some stuff🤭 Rich.

I've an assguy on the front of my NP Mega 290 (not mulllet) and when thae assguy is worn have a wild enduro to replace it, hopefully it's a good choice 🤞 also running a dissector rear (although maybe not a great wet / mud tyre?) - nearly all ridden in BPW🙃 Rich.

mrs has just bought a pair for nephew & niece, hopefully this will help Wiggle survive (& hopefully they will get delivered 🤞 ) Rich.

theres a bit of a reputation around the rear axle bearings used on the rails, my 2022 Rail5 had rear looseness after ~30 miles so I stripped / cleaned / greased / reset preload (y) about 150 miles later I felt that dreadded wobble again🤨 so I replaced the wheels (Nukeproof Nutron c/o Wiggle🙃)...

bought a 'pre-loved' set of forks for my Rail5, I already have some of Manitou's Mezzer Expert forks on my NP Mega and rate them highly, a set of Mezzer pro forks were on ebay so a bid was placed & sucessfull😎 when they arrived I gave them a service and will hopefully find time to fit them this...

set sag & try for comfort, suggested pressures are just a starting point (y) ^^This (y) not 'Zeb' related but... I'm running a 37mm Manitou Mezzer on my 'keep-fit' Nukeproof Mega @ 180mm (+10mm over spec.) and it's really comfortable even over rockgardens & drops😎 it's running ~63psi in...

I think the best way to describe my tool storage is that theyr'e Spread around like a mad-woman's shit :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: mtb tools are in a plastic storage box that is too small so some regulars like allen-keys are in our cycling backpacks. general tools, do I include the Lathes...

'22 Rail5 gen2 owner. only once has the 500w battery run low when riding & that was when I didn't charge before a ride (started ride ~70%) battery mount issues? none here BUT I did replace the Purion controller with the Kiox upgrade and argued with the battery alignment plate so think I've...

most people ignore limits anyway, some drive @ 20mph, some @ 30mph and a fair few @25mph (splitting the difference?) some local roads have 20mph signs @ one end and 30mph@ the other - adds to the thrill of driving:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: wont be long before the tax collection speed camera's...

I'm lucky as I have a well stocked workshop, machine shop and welding facilities at home (well, in the garage 🤭) problem is getting the hwyl to go out there and do something🤨 most cycle work is diy'able, my mrs 'built' her Nukeproof Mega from a frame (Wiggle super discounted)(y) one tip for...

+1 on bleeding, even 'pre-bled' systems benefit from an 'installed' bleed 😎 Rich.

Sorta +1.... standard brakes (& suspension / tyres) are good enough for you to ride BUT also allow customising or upgrading as you please😎 my rail5 is mostly standard but better brakes are coming soon - have Sram Code Rsc f&r on my Nukeproof Mega & they are fantastic in comparison with the...

Understood 🙃 I've worked too much this year, have end-of-summer rebuilds in the mear future on my rail & her Rise and also trying to weld my car... seem to get out maybe twice a month🥴 Rich.

been wondering when we'd get an update, it's been a bit quiet for local vids 🤨 Rich.

:unsure: sounds odd, my mrs repaired a punctured 'tube on my rail5's front tyre & that was bontrager wheel / tyre combo and didn't say it was a hard job🤭 I've just bought a set (from Wiggle) for my rail5 so hopefully goodenough🤠 Rich.

had my order from Trek delivered today, now have the toptube Kiox mount to fit (whenever I feel like it 🙃 ) theres a little fettling to fit but nothing taxing... compared to the Bosch-supplied 'stem' mount, I'll be keeping that in my bag for an 'incase'🥴 Rich.

*Boring purchases alert* derailleur hanger (as spare) and toptube Kiox mount for my gen2 Rail5 :cool: Normal service resumes........ Rich.

yesterday we went for an exploritary womble around Brechfa's 'red' trail (starts in Abergolech 🥴 ) covering over 12 miles and the weather was hot🥵, some nice climbs and the first trail was in a pine forest that was a little eerie as was silent in there🤨 whereas the other trails had a soundtrack...

We went to Bikepark Wales yesterday, morning on a 'training' course & after lunch had a quick play before getting home early 🥴 photo of our parking space @ lunch - much cooler than on the trails🥵 mrs on the Orbea & I was on the Trek:cool: got home and pre-washdown inspection showed a...

oddly theres a discussion on the FB 'Trek Rail Owners Worldwide' group started a few days ago about this :unsure: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1121838741488473/ theres a few options but easiest is probably the Bosch offering p/number 1270015727. as example it's £15.49 from TBS Magura...
