    My Emtb life pt.2: ( ongoing blog ) Crafty Carbon rr sl

    Ok. You've worked out that it's not meant to be a mudguard mounted to the fork then ? And that you can remove that magnet from your fork and not have to worry about charging or using the mind system at all ? 🤣 Or you could have bought a Crafty without all that stuff ? 🤔

    Hope ebike cranks

    I have had the same issue with 5DEV and Pinnd cranks. The 5DEV required tightening of both bolts every 50kms or so. The Pinnd drive side arm can be nipped up after every ride which for me is usually around 30 kms. Both brand of crank arms never came loose on the spline because I checked and...

    Review Shimano Linkglide 10 speed drivetrain.

    Yeah , the current chain with 1000kms on it was an Ali special. It has just enough wear on it now that it will squeeze into the first indicator of the chain checker. Bear in mind , 95% of my rides are in dry conditions and I keep the chain well cleaned and lubed. My theory with the Ali stuff...

    Review Shimano Linkglide 10 speed drivetrain.

    I buy the chains and cassettes from AliExpress. About $40 USD for both. Chain Cassette My Linkglide drivetrain has now done 2000kms. The shifter and derailleur have been consistent and faultless. I have been replacing the chain at 1000kms and am about to replace the cassette at 2000. To be...

    Interesting that the same topic came up on Vital. Despite Kovarik absolutely hosing everyone , the spread from 2nd to 8th is very close to Val Di Sole last weekend. And Rennie and Gracia posted the same time!

    Its up there. Certainly the biggest spread this season anyway. Kovarik winning at Ft William in 2002 by 14 seconds to 2nd place will be hard to beat. The spread to 10th place there would have been pretty big I'd imagine. Searching for any easily available stats , I came across this article...

    Brake pads

    I'm guessing the rotors on Ali don't meet sizing or surface tolerances specified by the company they are being supplied to. I don't think they will suddenly explode or something like that 😁 I bought and fitted a set for a guy I do bike servicing for , with his consent of course. He's a big guy...

    Brake pads

    I am using the resin pads in the front and the gold in the rear at the moment . They do what they need to do. (y) I wasn't brave enough to try any rotors from Ali though :)

    Yeah I'd love to see Jess back up her performance with a win . Equally , I'd like to see Miriam back in P1 ! Finn is the danger man tonight. He's on such good form , super hungry for a win , and I feel like he's been very conservative with his riding so far this weekend. Dakota is my wild...

    I spent a week in Morzine in 2014 , just to ride , no races going on and it was still an unforgettable week! I'd suggest if you plan on hiring a bike and doing some riding (you're insane if you don't!) make sure that the rental is booked , paid for and guaranteed before you get there. I got...

    They said on the post race Downtime podcast that Laurie is still battling health issues , having big crashes is only adding to the problems. He's still one of my favorite riders but he won't be making it back onto my fantasy team without a turnaround in results. 😋
