    Fox Utility Changing Mat?

    Hi anyone got one of these? I can't find one anywhere.....so if you want to sell yours because you don't use it, I'll have it, as my front porch is getting a right old mess after a muddy ride. Is there an alternative? I've seen the wet suit mats, but not keen on them... cheers

    Got a Nobby Nic on at the moment, and I'm just gonna use it until I need to replace it, which will be with either an Assegai or DHF.

    Carl, the levers on my MT4's (single pot) are alloy, and are great.

    Rim tape reccos please

    It didn't, unfortunately. Was applied near perfectly as well. Leaked around the spoke holes and at the rim joint - maybe if I put a tube in overnight it might've been OK. The wider tape was a last attempt and if that didn't work, it was back to tubes....so glad it worked.

    Rim tape reccos please

    To anyone else looking for a recommendation, the WTB tape (which I think is Tesa 4289) has worked flawlessly for me. 5mm wider than my rim ID and it sealed first time. I also bought Tesa 4289 but cocked up at the checkout and ended up buying the 19mm stuff. A fiver if anyone wants it. D.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Well, what a nice experience changing out my rear tyre (unlike @steve_sordy ha ha*). My old Nobby Nic broke the bead extremely easily using my hands, and came off with one tyre lever ran round the rim. The new Shorty went on with no tools at all - I fully expected that to be a bitch as it's the...

    It's also very good at turning your previously black bumpers,wheel arches etc on your car or van back to black. EDIT - damn - I was beaten to it I see.....as always.

    Maxxis vs. Michelin?

    Big shoutout to www.freewheel.co.uk. Not only did they have the best price by far (£38 for a 27.5/2.5 120tpi DD Maxxis Shorty - free shipping as well) but it was ordered at 1.30pm yesterday and was delivered around the same time today.

    You won't spend more that 20 quid on lights but buy all that shit? There's something wrong with you! :p
