    Thorns...in or out?

    Can you still run the tyre tubeless with the Tannus or does it need a tube to work ? Is it available for wider 2.5 tyres.

    Trek Rail - first ride

    Just checking the Rail spec and it seems they all have 180mm rotors. Most comparative makes use 203mm. Is there a reason for this? I'm sure the brakes work ok with those callipers. Would there be an overheating issue?

    2020 Cube Hybrid Pro Headset bearings

    Thanks Kenny for your advice on this. At weekend I noticed rust streaks on my frame and when I released the forks the bottom bearing was in pieces and very rusty.

    2020 Cube Hybrid Pro Headset bearings

    Hi Kenny That does sound like the correct bearing and the same one Chain Reaction gave me when I asked them before I posted. That is a sealed bearing and mine is a cage. Do you know if I can that fit that in the original races or do they have to be changed to fit a sealed bearing ?

    Cube Hybrid Pro Headset bearings

    I have a Cube entry level hardtail and upgraded the forks a few months ago to Rockshox Judy’s. I noticed rusty streaks coming from the headset after washing and after checking the bearings look rough. They are open caged bearings. Can I replace them with sealed bearings? Is it just a straight...

    Thorns...in or out?

    I had a couple of punctures last year with thorns but none since I went tubeless with Stans last year. Someone said that they found numerous thorns in their tyre but they sealed themselves. I wondered about carrying a tube but thought that if the tyre had lots of thorns fitting an emergency...

    Farmers have gone into overdrive

    The farmer behind us used a contractor a few years ago as our hedges back onto his fields. He used a 12" circular saw blade on a tractor, which ended up 50yds away from the hedges in our garden....we keep our heads down when we see him... Nice clean cuts though..
