Of the 13 posts in between your first and second posts, there were six that were not trying to be funny. That is not a bad response for such a potentially humorous question. That does not qualify for "but all I got were rude smart arse comments" is a factual yes or no type of statement. It is...
Are we sure that @ari is being serious?
He/she does not seem to have responded to any of our replies.
Maybe he/she is having a good old laugh at the response (like me).
I agree, I would have had the brake lightly applied to hold me there, but not full on! An unexpected shove may overwhelm the application.
Thinking back some more about my experience with the Moustache Samedi. It was almost definitely not an extended boost (in 2018), but my inadvertent pressure...
I can remember when the Fox suspension design guy was being interviewed. He was asked why are there so many clicks of adjustment when most people never alter the setting once they find a happy place. He said that the large range was so that the suspension could suit a range of customers where...
Go for proper tubeless. No need to buy another tyre, just go tubeless. All you have to do is to buy a tubeless valve and some sealant. You will save weight and almost 100% stop flats (you won't stop getting punctures, but almost zero flats).
PS: If, despite all advice to the contrary, you...
Agree with that.
In 2018, I was test riding a Moustache Samedi, before I owned an emtb. I can't remember what motor it had, but I clearly remember stopping at the top of a steep drop to see if there was anyone there before I dropped in. I said "stopping", what I should have said was "tried to...
A pair of Fox Ranger pants from Winstanley £69.99 free delivery.
The old ones are getting just too knackered looking. They used to stay looking cleanish and respectable for several rides, but these days they look knackered and disreputable even when clean on.
I've just taken them out of the...
After my bike came back from the LBS for a new inner and outer gear cable, I bumped over a step and the battery fell out! :eek: They had told me that they had to remove the battery to replace the cable and still had to use cable connectors to draw the new cable through with the old one. I guess...
Busy couple of hours:
# Chain still skipping in the middle of the cassette. Is the chain worn?
# Shifter cable tension adjusted, shifting fine now.
# Cassette checked, slight burrs in middle range, OK elsewhere.
# Chain was rubbing on the cable wire on the mech, looked a bit long. Removed two...
I have always found WTB saddles to be great value for money. They have a wide range of widths, padding, weights and designs.
But it's all a complete waste of time of you don't know your sit bone width (then add 15-20mm to get the saddle width).
My grandson was always a bit chubby and his sit...
Now that is an idea that I never thought of.
When using a vernier caliper, I measure nominally 5.700" using the internal measurement arms. That is 11 full half inch links and the wall thickness of two rollers at 0.1" each.
I measure a new chain and record what that measurement is. It is nearly...
This issue is not restricted to Shimano! One only as to read the Levo page to see that. People seem to be boasting when they claim that they are on their 4th or even 5th motor. (Look how hard a rider I am!) But the uncertainty before every ride as to whether the motor will fail this time...
Two points:
1) I use the same set of powerlinks for the entire life of the chain. Once the chain is done, so are the powerlinks. However, I keep the old powerlinks as free spares to hand out for free to those stranded on the trail for want of a powerlink. Our much-missed member @Gary had a...
I ordered 3 x 240ml bottles of Continental Revo sealant from Bikeparts.co.uk. £9.77 instead of £12.95 and cheaper than elsewhere taking delivery costs into account. Free delivery on this occasion. They came today, less than 24 hours! :)

@Mikerb Remove the chain, stretch out on a flat surface and with a metal tape, measure pin to pin over 100 links. A new chain will measure 50" exactly, one at 0.8% will measure 50.4". Because most metal tapes in the UK have 1/16" increments, the nearest fractional measure will be 13/32"...
