I’ll start the ball rolling, this week she’s had. New kmc chain, cassette, renthal ring. Also mech and dropper cables. New front and rear pads. A new bar remote(warranty). Fork service.
Hoping for a couple of spend free weeks now. Big mileage costs!

 

[The EMF]

A mudhugger rear, Co2 canisters, Topeak sticky patches, and a Maxxis High Roller 2 all singing and dancing one. Can’t spend money at the pub so hey ho.

 

[tobster]

I highly recommend fitting one of these lockrings to your bike. It has massively reduced the build-up of mud around the front chainring of my trek powerfly

 

[deksawyer]

How did u fit that front ? I have the same bike

It just bolts on the fork arch thingy...

[Pabs]

Not super interesting but important, new wheel bearings

 

[Supratad]

A 34t Praxis chainring, and a small pump-handle pressure sprayer for the application of cleaning fluid post ride. (My ickle hand gets tired with trigger sprays)

 

[Shjay]

Not new but picked back up a set of forks lent to a mate 2yrs+ ago fitted them to my bike, same A2C as my 160mm 29er fork

 

[NULevo]

These arrived last week, a few rides in and they're doing great.

 

[cozzy]

A 29 wheel and tyre for my kenevo mullet project.
Well I say wheel. I think I got the last Santa Cruz 29 30mm reserve rim in the UK and the spokes and hub from Germany.
Unfortunately SC have increased the erd by 6mm so my spokes are too short, so more ordered from Germany.

This will match up with some 29 boxxer lowers I had to order from Spain. Why can't I get parts in the UK!?

 

[Beezerk]

Bell Super 3R is getting picked up very very shortly.

 

[Wiltshire Warrior]

RRP Pro Guard Bolt on

 

[cozzy]

Ooooh the presents keep on coming.
A Thomson stem to replace the stock one, 15mm lower to help keep the bars about the same height for the mullet.
A quality item.

 

[cra]

Installed Mudhugger's Front and Rear this evening ?Rear one a bit long for my liking, maybe I'll cut it later. Need to find a protector for linkage now

Hows she ride, 200mm must equal full beast mode?

 

[Shjay]

beast

The BOS forks the spring is a bit light so was blowing through the travel a bit, I like the 29er front wheel & the Mezzer fork is soo good I prefer that setup so I have swapped back to 29 & currently servicing the BOS fork which is a 26” fork but had a 27.5 wheel with MM 2.35 up front

Absolutely fantastic.

This is my 6th winter using them and the 2nd pair.

 

[Jamze]

Decided the Verdict on the rear is not bad, but prefer a rear-specific that hopefully won't wander so much. Plus some pads as almost down to the backing plate. Hopefully will have more luck than @steve_sordy swapping the tyres later.

 

[The Hodge]

100% is supposed to be good. Make sure it works with a touch phone so you can take selfies.

check that there isn’t a thick seam at the webbing of your hand. That’ll get annoying on a long ride.

Not too bothered about selfies..?( my avatar is about the only pic you will find ) ..but do take lots of pics of scenery / others riding with me ..and they are supposed to be touchscreen compatible ..will be aware of the webbing issue though ..
cheers for the feedback ..

Cheers for that review James ..they are actually a Christmas stocking filler from my better half ..so my hands will be thankful for them by the time I get to use them ..

 

[cozzy]

Excitement levels at max!
Correct spokes and 29 boxxer lowers arrived.
Ordered lowers from bikeinn who use spring GDS shipping who both get appalling reviews but I can't fault, part arrived on time.
Not much work will get done today.

I have a pair, they're great but I'd say they're more an autumn/early spring type glove, mine certainly aren't warm enough for winter.
I bought a cheap pair of winter cycling gloves from Decathlon, they are great and much much warmer than the 100% ?

 

[The Hodge]

I'm lucky in so much that I very rarely suffer cold hands ( or feet ) ..something to toasty would be overkill..
Thanks for the reply though

Some tubeless rim tape by DT Swiss.

DT Swiss Tubeless Tape | Biketart

For a simple, elegant solution to the 'how do I go tubeless' problem, DT Swiss Tubeless Rim Tape does the job beautifully. Apply to your chosen rim. overlap, snip and you are ready for valves and sealant. The DT Swiss Tubeless Rim Tape also works perfectly well as an ordinary rim tape for those...

www.biketart.com

To make up for the Gorilla Tape originally used. GT is easy to fit, cheap and looks absolutely great! But you try getting it off! (petrol & rags is the answer).

2021 lyrik ultimate, all ready for the new bike when it finally arrives hopefully next week.
