Yes def right tyre I believe. Well insofar as they are 29 2.5s vs the stock 2.6 I went into the bike shop to book my service & the mechanic says he can get it on with his fingers. I nodded & said ok. Reminded me of a moto mechanic telling me the same thing about putting on a MX tyre & me...

So do you reckon getting rid of the plastic strips? What are they there for- just instead of rim tape or are they a strengthening thing? I was thinking even with tubeless if the shit hits the fan with the stans stuff out on the trails I couldn't put a tube in with them in, getting rid of them...

Ok I may have been frustrated at the time. It may have been 25mm or so but realise the plastic strips do take up a fair bit of depth in the rims

Because there are dicks out there that haven't mtbed before & usually come from MX backgrounds that will act like dicks when passing mtbers along narrow tracks without any warning or polite requests to pass. They will usually pass while doing a wall ride past a family. They have the same kind of...

Yes (winter here) I ran a heat gun lightly around the tyre to warm it up.

Yes exactly. The beads won't go into the centre of the rim to give you slack at the outside edge because the plastic rim insert has no central groove for the beads to sit in. Because the bike came with a tube I thought I could still get the new tyre & tube on however with the harder casing of...

Thought I'd just quickly change the crap stock to a nice shiny DHF. i'm using a tube because I've not had any good results with stans. I've watched a few youtube vids with people going 'oh yes it can be quite hard' & popping them on with their hands but I''m calling bullshit on that my tyre has...

It would be intersting to see what a 27'5 rear is like. Is it as easy as taking off my other bike & trying? I'm sure it's a boost. My Yari seemed to bang a bit on jump landings the other day, Be good to find a remedy for that.

A customer of mine has a gen 2 bosch with 5000kms on it. pretty good going

Awesome! I didn't know half the stuff was on there. No bluetooth button to change from uphill to downhill music playlist?

How do you know how many Kms your bike has done? Does the display have an odometer?

It'd been a few years since we rode together but with the kids doing their own thing now it was time to reconnect to our old pasttimes. The plan was for her to ride the emtb up & swap at the top & take the lighter accoustic downhill. As soon as she got on the ebike & worked out that she can go...

Whats with the cush cores?

WTB saddle. The stock one is the most uncomfortable I've ridden in the last 30years. Rogue (?) grips - reduced a lot of arm pump Gotta get some tape & change the colour - that grey & maroon puts me to sleep

Sorry... are you saying they make mtbs without dropper posts????? I can't remember seeing a bike without one unless we're going back into the 90s. How about those new fangled gear changer things on the back wheel:devilish:

Yes but in a Land rover every thing can go wrong. The issue with the bike is generally one component.

Anyone else actually feel like a cheat? I do. The feeling must go away at some stage...when...

Earphones & mellow music may be a solution for you.

Yeah thanks thats what I suspected. The lever gives the false appearance of having adjustability.

The compression lever on the above. Is it simply 'locked off' at the top & wide open in every other position or are there increments? Doesn't seem to be any info that I can see& the lever doesn't seem to make much difference. My old bike had different settings like propedal.
