    Strive:ON problems

    Surprised at the Galfer issues. I've been running them with Magura for a couple of years. Been on trips to Finale, Madeira and I like in the Tweed Valley where there are many steeps. Had no issues like this at all. Could it be some particular combination of brakes and pads?

    Vitus E-Mythique Fork and Shock Options

    I ran my Whyte from new with a Bomber Coil. When the coil died I put the original Deluxe Select back on. Couldn't believe how good it was!

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    Bear in mind (i am pretty sure) the live valve fork is Fit4 and not Grip 2.

    Angle set and/or 180mm fork on Decoy

    Remember that this will also reduce the reach a bit and the Decoy is not the longest bike to start with. Still ways around it though.

    Mous or Quadlock???

    I think those bars would give me serious anxiety! 🤣

    Love mine too. It's also been faultlessly reliable. 4000km on original bearings. My Nomad 4 went through a set every 6 months! If your local trails are steep, I would definitely try a small back wheel. I've had mine that way for more than a year. It's been superb.

    Functionally it seems fine. My only beef is that you have to cut to size.

    I've had good results with Hans In all but the muddiest conditions. Not the last word in grip, but a decent balance.

    Decoy XL/XXL geo

    You can slam a 180mm OneUp dropper on a Medium Decoy. So you could easily run a 210 on an XL I am sure. The seat tube is 50mm longer and the dropper is only 30mm bigger.

    Fitting torque caps

    As above, your wheel should definitely fit the fork. As the torque caps are bigger than regular, the receiver on the fork is commensurately larger. This means fitting a wheel without torque caps may require a bit of fiddling to get it to line up, but it will definitely fit. On rs forks I've had...

    Fitting torque caps

    What kind of fork? Torque caps usually just pull off and push on, although I've only used them on Hunt wheels.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Front Suspension upgrade, any tips?

    Some good deals on Lyrik and 36 now everyone has decided 38mm is essential. I always found the Lyrik a bit more "comfortable" and easy to set up, but they're both great. Personally I would avoid Ohlins if your goal is plush / comfort.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Boring/depressing stuff - A TRP Bleed kit, a sticky helmet mount for my light 😭 Interesting stuff - spring adaptors so I can try my progressive spring

    Long wait at bike shops?

    I have 5 bike shops within 6 miles. 2 of those I know very well and could probably walk in and get something looked at straight away. Two I just wouldn't use the workshop in and one would likely want to book me in for several weeks later.

    Scotland biking

    Biased because I live here, but you should absolutely take a weekend in the Tweed Valley. GT/Cademuir/Golfie/Inners/Thornilee/Yair are all amazing and within 30 mins of each other. Happy to show you around if you like.
