    Yup, it absolutely is a single pivot. The shock is just linkage-driven.

    Small/15" Rockhopper FS, think its 1999, red, Deore, RS Jett forks. Driveside crank flared out, needs a full rebuild really. Karma, collection only from Ash GU12 before Sunday 5th September. Thanks!

    Wanted Cheap 170mm square taper crank

    Cheers all but the bike was a cheap punt and not worth the price of some of these cranks! Tbh I can't be bothered fixing it so I'll just karma it.

    Wanted Cheap 170mm square taper crank

    Ideally looking for a Specialized 4-arm 170mm square taper drive side crank (don't grease the tapers and use a breaker bar to tighten the crank bolt, kids!) as per 1999 Rockhopper FS, but potentially any cheap 170mm 4-bolt square taper cranks will do, thanks!

    Er...is it just me or is this a wee bit too patronising? Christina C on trail etiquette....

    Bear in mind that it's not always the injured person that makes the claim.. Say you spanner yourself on an "illegal" trail and are off work for a month, so your employer decides to sue the landowner in order to recoup their loss - you've got naff-all say in that. Trail access in the North...

    Changing front forks on a Boardman Team CB options?

    Somebody from Boardman seriously wrote "should of" instead of "should have"..!? They really need to proof read emails before sending them.. As has been said, seriously do not touch those forks on Amazon with a 40' barge pole! You're genuinely far better off with a better quality set of...

    Questions on converting 26" for road use

    Re: If you're going to be using it in winter, I'd absolutely go disc - especially as your f&f already have the mounts. Go cable disc and you can keep your levers, or get a set of Clarks M2 from eBay for £40 for a full set INC. rotors.

    11 speed sunrace cassette on 9 speed hub ?

    Re: SRAM GX would be my choice - SRAM 11sp supposedly better than Shimano, but Shimano 12sp supposedly better than SRAM.
