Who'd have thought smacking your hands on every other tree wouldn't catch on? Time to dig out the early 90s neon motocross handguards, or this pretty neat (not) solution.

Wait a minute! I've just had a thought... it's almost as though all these innovations are some kind of... MARKETING EXERCISE!!!!

I love this story of your aged hotrod. You've made me laugh out loud reading this. All power to your elbow, sir.

Another vote for the USE Alien seatpost. Snapped at head on first ride - to its credit quite a few miles from home. Hopeless. Not made from cheese, but a lump of cheese would have been more useful, i give you the... Odyssey Aerator. Pump and seatpost combined. Great idea, totally impractical...

I recently built myself some 29er wheels, 32 spoke, using Sapim Laser spokes, Ryde Trace 25 rims (which i have a few sets of and i love) and fairly basic 6 bolt novatec hubs. Wheelset weighed in at 1550g. They're lovely wheels to ride as the rim is very shallow but wide enough to keep the wheel...

This is MRP's well respected and very capable Stage 29er fork. It's got their excellent Ramp cartridge. Travel is adjustable with easy to install internal spacers. Currently it is set up at 120mm travel. It's in very good working order and cosmetic condition. Tapered steerer is 167mm long. After...

Bump and open to offers. Come on, learn to love the short steerer, slam that stem and go faster.😘

In another hopeless attempt to drag this thread out of the gutter. This beauty always makes me feel a bit super hero, though maybe too cool to be fun.

I have ordered a custom frame, so it really is time to thin the herd. No reasonable offer not considered.

Hello Karl You will always be Harry Burgundy to me. Nice custom IF 853 deluxe, excellent structural shape though not pristine cosmetically and quite long in the top tube. It's fast. Can do measurements later and better pics later if it's of interest. After £450 posted for the frame. Rich

Well pleased with my seatposts and drop bars - astonishingly bargainacious. Thanks again for the alert.

Bump. £250 posted.

Got my nice 19" Yeti FRO 2004 frame for sale. Actually lighter than the ARC. I believe it's the lightest alloy hardtail Yeti ever made. It's in great condition, just a few small scratches and a bit of tyre rub on the inside of the chainstay. There's also a flake of paint missing at the top of...

Thank you! The tyres are Bontrager XR3 team issue. Not huge - 29x2.2" rear and 29x2.4" front. I've shredded so many brands on the flints round here, but these seem to be holding up. They have a decent amount of tread but roll really well.

I love the extreme fettling you've described. I too have gone over to sram (force 1x) shifters on one of my bikes. I really admire the way they mainstreamed that system - and the quality of their engineering. With regard to resistance on the drivechain i feel that i notice it much more on...

Took it out for a spin today. It's so fast, and stable at speed. Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/GYRbFlteDpb

You've got a lovely bike there. My buckshaver - which i regret selling - was unquestionably the best mountain bike i ever owned (including a few indy fabs that never seemed to capture the zing that the buckshaver had). Ride it hard. Enjoy it. Rich

Bought a nice stem off Rob. Just as described, quick postage and lovely comms. Thank you!

I suspect you might be asking too much of that rear mech across such a large range cassette. You could try pulling your wheel as far back as you can in the drop outs. That'll give you a bit more tension and chain wrap in the smaller sprockets, also maybe a longer armed mech might help - gives...

Hmm, lot going on there. That's a wider range cassette than i have used with non-1x-specific kit. It could be that the derailleur spring isn't up to the job of taking up the slack in the smaller sprockets. Which end of the cassette are you dropping the chain? Also i guess you're using a 10 speed...
