I'm considering converting to a mullet set up so I'm after a 29" boost front wheel, ideally with centre lock. Anyone upgraded their wheels and got a front going spare?

Unless that "booth" has extraction you're going to get horrendous over spray. You maybe better off in a clean, well ventilated area, where you cam move around the parts.

Yes, but it's important to understand what the change is doing. "Try higher rise bars with more sweep" While more sweep could help wouldn't it be better advice to ask him to measure his wrist angle first. The current sweep of his bars maybe correct and it maybe a rise is all he needs, which...

The honest answer is trial and error, as no formula will work for everyone. The main take away is everyone's anatomy is different, and not to fall into the trap of thinking MTB=wide bars. Somehow 800mm bars have become the norm like 7° back sweep bars have, but in reality they only suit a small...

Numb hands usually occur from an impacted wrist irritating the median nerve, there are many causes for this, from handlebar height, width, rise, reach, rotation, sweep, cockpit position, saddle position, vibration, etc. Though you say you are not getting numbness and you have not complained of...

When you say your hands are aching where exactly do you mean?

If it's only shutting off when turning the bars, thus putting strain on the cable my first thought would be either a damaged cable (sometimes the damage can't be seen externally) or the connection port into the kiox.

I'm surprised it's so little considering the mileage drop you describe. Maybe other factors involved, winter riding, fitness, temperature, how accurate is the test 🤷‍♂️

I'll be optimistic and say 99% 😆 Though I suspect it's probably around 60-70% 🤷‍♂️

Rather than nail polish (which can contain other chemicals not intended for brake cleaning) get some pure acetone, it's cheap, will last for ages and is an excellent brake cleaner. Just be careful not to get it on painted surfaces!

I have the same bars in 16deg and rate them highly, great bars 👍

Sqlabs are your only option if you want 12deg back sweep, but they only come in 31.8, so you'd need a new stem or a spacer to use your current stem. I did find a 10deg sweep back bar but I can't remember what make it was off the top of my head, I'll have a proper look later.

Very kind offer @Weeksy (y) I've still got a spare Vitus bolt to try but @jab0rnal maybe interested.

Thanks for the info rusty 👍 I've just measured my spare bolt and it is a 1mm pitch thread. From a search online and confirming with other trunnion bolts it seems 1mm pitch is the standard for both Fox and Rock shox from what I can see. I've still no luck finding an OEM cube trunnion bolt in...

Thinking about it, thread pitch is probably dependant on what make and model shock you have. Rock shox may well use a 1.25 pitch. I have a fox float x which I believe has a 1mm pitch but I'll double check.

I'll double check but I think it is a 1mm pitch not 1.25. Head diameter could be an issue on the cube as the bolt sits into a recessed hole. Bolt length will depend on the unthreaded portion of the bolt, the threaded part should be similar across all bolts

As a side note, does anyone know why these bolts are made from alloy rather than steel? I'm guessing because the shock cap is made from aluminium and this avoids dissimilar metal corrosion. Would a steel bolt with anti seize like rusty suggests be a suitable alternative?

Yeah as rusty says, adding heat will greatly increase your chances of getting the bolts out without damaging anything else. Just be careful how you apply the heat 👍 The pin spanner idea came from my motorbike days where seized trunnion bolts are common place. It works extremely well with the...

Such a shame, the Sonni looked like an interesting bike, one I'd have definitely considered for my next. What happens to pole owners now should they need a frame repair? I guess try to find an independent workshop willing to take on the work?

It seems like a good device, like I say it does have some draw backs compared to a chip. It's mechanical so will eventually wear out, though it's supposedly good for thousands of miles, it's limited to 1.5x of your top assisted speed, it can't be tuned or adjusted and maybe the biggest draw back...
