    Any recommendations for a North Wales all day ride?

    +1 for Coed y Brenin. Quite a few trails to choose from and some very nice scenery.

    Emtb motor ground clearance

    Went through all the trouble of making my own motor bash guard for my Mondraker and have not hit a thing so far. Not sure to be relieved or pissed at the time I spent on it. I do ride some reasonably techy trails filled with fallen trees

    Waterproof winter gloves

    I literally just sent my 100% brisker gloves back after one ride as the Velcro tab peeled clean off from the glove when taking them off. No stitching, just poorly glued on. Shame as they were comfy and warm.

    Kellys Theos

    I’ve been there, and with plenty of witnesses. Only ever seem to have failures on group rides, less since I started using thread lock. Ive had similar to this threads issue but where the hanger wasn’t part of the axle fastening and it lost its retaining screw. I’ve had jockey wheels fall out at...

    Flat Pedal Shoes

    Not sure if they are different on the boa but my stamp lace shoes have very uncomfortable rubber dots on the back to help grip your heel. I found them crippling after a while and spent a long time trying to cut them off without damaging the fabric. They are good for wide feet and the size is...

    Kellys Theos

    Looking at the design, it’s similar to a few bikes I’ve owned, the axle screws and tightens into the derailleur hanger as the hangar has internal threads for the axle so the derailleur would have stayed relatively square and firmly against the hub and cassette, just a little rotation each way...

    Hanger nut. They usually come with a new derailleur hanger on most bikes that use that arrangement. Maybe this one?: https://www.kellysbike.com/en/derailleur-hanger-mtb-enduro-fs-275-e-bike-tax12-p75151

    SRAM GX vs Shimano XT

    My bike is boost and came with raceface aeffect crank arms, onoff 104bcd spider and sram eagle xsync 12 chainring. The sram xsync chainring works fine with the linkglide chain. The chainrings run on a separate axle to the crank arms so the chainring can be whatever you want it to be as long as...

    SRAM GX vs Shimano XT

    I have Bosch gen 4 using raceface crank arms. Still keeping the standard 104bcd spider and bought a new sram eagle steel chainring as it was only £13 the linkglide chain works fine on it. I went on the basis that some of the chainring manufacturers like raceface advertise their chainrings for...

    SRAM GX vs Shimano XT

    I had sram gx 12 on my normal bike and didn’t get on well with it. Had a lot of tuning problems and constantly fettling with it. I might have had a duff derailleur but I changed to shimano xt 12 and once set up I didn’t have to adjust it for the next 2 years that I owned the bike. Had a much...

    Alps holiday recommendations

    I’ve been going to Tignes for about 5 years and never get bored of it. Trails are great and plentiful with a wide variety and all accessible with cable lifts. Lift passes are usually included with local accommodation (this needs to be checked prior to booking as might have changed). Plenty of...

    Cheap 12 speed Cassette

    Not tried one but looks like a bargain that I wish I had seen before ordering a new linkglide 11 drivetrain. I’ve always been pleasantly surprised with the quality of brand x products in the past

    MONDRAKER CRAFTY R LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

    Finally got round to finishing the second attempt on the bash guard. Slightly higher at the rear and countersunk bolts. Reasonably happy with it.

    Hope rotors and Magura MT7’s

    I’ve just fitted some mt7 brakes and used the TRP 2.3mm thick rotors for half the price of similar rotors. Got a pair of 203mm rotors for £50 posted when they were in stock a couple of weeks ago...

    Fixed Battery Trend -Why?

    I think with a lot of companies it’s about being able to fit a larger battery in the frame with the weight where they want it without having to find space for all the bits needed to make it removable like mounting plates with latches/locks.

    Rail (625Wh) Reach adjust headset

    I did this with my dh bike, with a works components reach adjust headset. I started with a shorter stem and then changed the headset to bring it in a little more. Not had it long enough to give a durability report. With sizes you really need to look up your exact frame specs as I’ve seen...

    Rail (625Wh) Trek rail zeb problem

    I’m not sure, I just see a lot of 1.8 steerer forks for sale from trek rails and have seen posts on here that confirm the larger headtube. As to what specific models I have no clue. The op would have to check up or measure the bottom of the headtube to see if a zs66 bearing and cup would fit. Or...
