I first saw this on a Shimano disc. Too long ago now to remember specs.

I was thinking more on the lines of paying and not getting the item. Then you would have to join the queue of creditors wanting their share of the payout. :(

I used to buy those Conti tyres with the black chilli compound and the ProTection sidewalls for my mtb. That was before I even knew that emtbs existed.

I agree 100% about Brand X droppers. I cannot see how they can produce such a reliable piece of kit for the money. I have previously bought Brand X from CRC and I wondered about that as CRC are having financial difficulties right now. But a quick use of Mr Google says that there are plenty of...

Wiggle (and CRC) are having financial difficulties right now, so they are doing you a favour.

I will message you with a name and email of a guy at DVO that I found to be very helpful. Edit: Hmmm, it seems that I cannot send you a message because you haven't been on the Forum long enough. (It's an anti-spam measure). So post more.

For a much shortened version of my initial warning not to use Gorilla Tape as rim tape, see post#6 on this thread. :eek:

There is no need for all that faff and expense! :) Just cut a 5mm one down with a fine saw or a craft knife. Yes, I know they are an irregular shape! Weigh the spacer first on some kitchen scales and then carve away until you get to half the weight. If you don't have digital scales, use a...

"Not suitable for ebikes"! :unsure: It can't be a weight thing because I have never seen a weight limit on a tyre. Maybe it's the torque exceeding what the tyre wall can transmit? But again, some very strong guys can put out some very high levels of torque on an unassisted bike. My best guess is...

When you have had enough of Llandegla, Penmachno is quite close. It's a constructed trail that feels very natural. I've not been for years so check it out first.

It is a friendly forum, don't take the comments at all seriously. It's all fun. :):)

And the O rings on the suspension are too low! AI photoshop?

@phlodge Many on here fit shorter cranks to avoid hitting rocks; no hint of it being for knee problems. What length are your cranks?

I am sure that Specialized already have this. It might not be on all models, or it might be an upgrade you have to buy. Our fearless leader @Rob Rides EMTB demo'd one.

Some rotors fitted to new bikes will say on the disc, resin pads only. If you fit harder pads they will wear out the rotor too quickly. Ref the G type vs F type: Thanks to @Stihldog for providing the answer so clearly, he has saved me the job. :)

@Guyt I like your smarter charger idea. :) But I have a programmable timer that I plug the charger into, so that takes care of how long I charge, and when. The only tricky bit is how much charge to add and that is done with experience with the bike and a bit of mental arithmetic. So for me it's...

Get a "G" type calliper, not the "F" type. If there is a lip on the edge of the disc, an F type will be unable to measure the wear area. G type ones avoid the lip.

I can see why you have a rear mudguard! :eek:

I was born further north than Sheffield, still in Yorkshire though. I left Bradford in 1977. Although my dialect had to go fairly quickly and my accent has slowly changed over the years, I am still recognisably "Northern". To those that have an ear for it, I am still from Bradford. About five...

I so identify with that! :love:
