    Indulge me, please.

    That ^^^ But not only that, a 27.5+ can have a similar, if only slightly smaller rolling diameter to a 29. As you probably know, bicycle wheels/tyres are measured on the overall diameter, unlike cars, or motorbikes. Strange, but that's how it is. Mine has 27.5/2.8 tyres and I ride over pretty...

    Anybody know any retailers that still have stock of Haibike Allmtn 3.0 2019 large in UK?

    If you're struggling to find that exact model, then look at models above and below that spec, or a newer manufacturing year, you might get lucky.

    Knocking from SR Suntour Aion Fork

    Interesting, there was no oil in the damper side of the fork, but there was in the air side, as most of it escaped when taking them apart. ?

    Helmets that don’t make your head look like a mushroom

    To the OP, the thing I took from your post was that you seem to be worried what you look like with a helmet on. Why? When it's on your head you can't see it, it's just there to protect you when you're riding your bike. Do you think anyone else cares what you look like? I have 2 helmets; a...

    Galfer 223mm rotors

    Get them from ebay, with the adapter for around 50 quid.

    Knocking from SR Suntour Aion Fork

    Not yet, but I'm going to remove a volume spacer first when the new fork top socket arrives as there's 3 in there from the factory...... Probably a different solution to a different problem, I know. Might try more grease or oil as a few ml escaped when taking them apart. It's definitely...

    Cleats - easy release?

    I've got an old set of time atac mtb pedals from 2002ish that I never used... One has some scratches from a static tryout and the other is still sealed in its airtight plastic. Anyone got a couple of unwanted 10° cleats going spare? I'd like to try the pedals again...

    Backpack recommendations?

    I've been using a Kelty Riot 15 for the past year and it's on my back every ride. It's light, comfy, has ample space for what I need to carry (and a spare Bosch powertube battery fits easily). The main "flap" on the back is useful for stuffing a jacket or mid layer into if it gets too warm...

    Pic of the Day

    I've passed this memorial dozens of times on my rides but never stopped to see what it was. Fascinating stuff. The guns used were shown in our local museum at one point.

    Magura MT7 pro question

    QM44, or a QM40 on the rear and a QM45 on the front. My Haibike had a 203 rotor on the front and a QM40. I'm pretty sure both will work. Or you could work it out from here, maybe. https://www.magura.com/media/1061051/2019-08_mounting-guide.pdf

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    One of these, damn it!

    New rider looking for advice.

    Pedals; can't recommend Stamp 2s enough. Grippy with almost all shoes. I'm a UK 9 or 9.5 and use the small version.

    Knocking from SR Suntour Aion Fork

    I have a socket for the fork tops at work (ie not here), but can't remember what size it is? What else fits? Can you get an alloy Spanner or something?

    Does your Haibike sound like this?

    Mine makes that noise as well. It's almost as annoying as the squeek from my forks. :unsure:

    New rider looking for advice.

    I use a Kelty Riot 15 day pack. It's not too big, has great padding on the rear to aid with airflow and has a compartment and routing for a hydration bladder (Osprey 20L fits great). You can get them on Amazon from around £30 and up. And use glasses or googles.

    Tubeless sealant

    Muc off works for me. Sealed thorn holes well, so far.
