Just need a right hand i-spec ev shifter now.
I purchased the Shimano setup just to see how it runs as I already have a microspline hub which came with my DT Swiss wheels and would like to see what the shifting is like with hyperglide+You switched from SRAM to Shimano?
Why? What SRAM group did you switch from?
My drivetrain is 12 speed XT and i think Shimano has stopped taking the high end market seriously. So many quality issues, especially with the shifter:
[Shimano XTR M9100 shifters keep breaking--no downshift...]
Kindernay gear hub. Extremely expensive but I hope it is worth it.
finally decided to put some vinyl flooring down in the garage. View attachment 51105
Ref post #1637 (Sat23rd Jan'21) about the BTwin 700 MT mudguard.
The second replacement arrived today. It is now my spare, because I was able to fix the broken one by replacing the strap with one I had removed from a damaged mudguard that I had kept for spares. (Memo to wife: I told you that old mudguard would come in handy!)
All hail Decathlon!
Nope, only if I haven't got the tension correct. The strap is easily adjustable because it has a ratchet on it. You can tighten it one click at a time if you wish. I've had all sorts of more expensive blade rear mudguards and this is the best in my opinion. If yours starts to rotate then you have probably lost the spring that keeps the pawl pressed into the ratchet. But the whole thing costs less than £9, just get another one!Does yours move around much? I've got a Topeak similar to yours mounted on the seat post, and it swivels around.
You are now compelled to do a comprehensive review! (please!)Kindernay gear hub. Extremely expensive but I hope it is worth it.

If you intend buying one, here's a tip:
There is a rubber moulding inside the clamp that is designed to protect the seat post/tube. It has half a dozen or so spikes on it that lock into holes in the clamp body. Find any sort of glue and glue them in place before you use the guard. I used some of my wife's craft glue that is nominally for paper and fabric. All it needs to do is to stop the moulding falling out when you remove the guard in the car park.
Another tip:
When it comes time to remove the guard, press the lever on the ratchet mechanism instead of trying to release the up and over tension lever. It will make sense when you have one in front of you. I am sure that is how it is meant to be released, but t took me a while to work it out. (I was desperate and had cold wet hands).
Edit: Maybe why the BTwin guard doesn't move is because it has two rubber mouldings in the clamp, one front, one rear. My initial thought was that they are there to protect the seat post/tube. But I now believe that they contribute very well indeed to the grip that stops rotation.
So am I, guess I'm just a sheep & following the trend?I will never understand the baby cranks trend some follow on this forum. You have a med frame so I’m clueless.
