You don't know the trails we got here man, none of you outsiders know..... Completely OTT but just for lolz and that, will see if it's too much. Mate is already hassling me to sell him one but then I'd need to pay full price for a matching rear 203, otherwise my head will explode!

Well I just won an Ebay auction (off that Paul Aston journo fella as it turns out) for two 223mm Galfer discs and adaptors for £36. Might as well chuck them both on for lolz. Will need some new pads soon. The Galfer ebike pads sound good but are bloody pricey. On Uberbike Race Matrix at the...

I have the Addix soft Apex, mates are running the same and dont think any of us have punctured. Ideal on the front but wouldn't run one on the back!

Great write up @R120 Couple of questions for you - what happened with CRC warranty? Mine has gone down with the torque sensor fault. I asked if an LBS that sorted a mate's E-Sommet warranty could do it but they insisted on having it back. Turns out they have a lot of mechanics self isolating so...

As far as I know no changes to the frame so therefore yep

For 2018 bikes they have the FSA Orbit 1.5 Zero Stack (No.57), 1.1/8” – 1.5” as stated by Nifty above. According to the details on CRC website they are 36 x 45. FSA Orbit 1.5 ZS Headset (No.57) | Chain Reaction Cycles The Blue Seal ones on the Ebay link I put up above are correct

I used these, cheap as I found and all good so far Orbit Headset Bearing Kit | 1 1/8, Tapered No. 52 57 42 44| FSA Headset Bearings | eBay

Did you use the uplift? Was thinking of using a combination of pedalling and bus when I eventually get round to going again

Anyhoo, on the threaded Praxis ring guess you could use the bolts on the inside of the spider, would look a bit odd though?

Fool!

Was looking at the Praxis steel eRing but as its threaded and the chairing needs to mounted on the front of the spider on the Vitus/Shimano Steps to avoid a clash with the chainstay, as well as a crap chainline, presumably this means they aren't compatible without drilling out the chainring?

Still wittering on eh Gary? Surely you'll get bored of yourself at some point?

Thule 598 here, works well with my XL with battery removed although clamps just above battery terminals. Got a folding plastic step to lift it onto the roof, don't need it to take the bike off (although I'm tall). Did South Coast to Pembrokeshire and back a few weeks ago, no dramas

Anyone got the headset bearing codes?

That is an interesting article, thanks. You are correct, they are 2RS as obviously have seals both sides. They don't have it stamped on the seals, guess it's easier just to have one seal for each size bearing. A couple of sizes have the complete codes printed the side of the housing though but...

2x 6900 2RS - rocker to shock trunion 2x 6901 2RS - rocker to frame 8x 6802 2RS - 4 at rocker to seatstays and 4 at seatstays to chainstays 2x 6902 2RS - must be for lower frame to chainstays shaft but not stripped down to confirm correct yet The 6900s were missing from the MB kit, Mark sent me...

Just went to do mine and don't think this right. Got the 2018 bearing kit from MB Bearings and that's not right either... I don't have the bearing numbers or dimensions but there are 2 larger main lower pivot bearings (I assume, not stripped down yet) 4 bearings at the chainstay/seatstay links...

Can't you just nick the motor from the hardtail? Guess not if they insist on having the whole bike back

E-Wild seemed to roll alright actually, liking it so far. Had to let some air out as it felt bloody solid at 26psi

Also just ordered a purple Burgtec 42.5 stem and a set of 800mm Ratboy Burgtec bars. My lack of taste knows no bounds!
