    Retro Spirits!

    Just bought this for the bottle - 'Perfume Bottle' Tomintoul Glenlivet - don't know whether to drink it or splash it all over! Also bought a few bottles that reminded me of the good working days at Oddbins, Glenfarclas, Glenrothes etc but couldn't afford some that were cheap then but...

    Hope Pro % with HG freehub - and Token lock ring

    Just swapped everything around on my new Pro5 wheels and the 12t Token lockring is incredibly tight to the extent that I don't want to wind it on. Surely the Pro5 HG freehub just uses the standard lock ring?

    That old 27.5 in 26 debate

    I'm going around in circles deciding on the next build. Frame: 26er singlespeed hardtail, seems to be long travel judging by the 71 degree ish headtube angle which I guess equates to 120/140 suspension corrected. I prefer to keep it 26 for 'purity' but 27.5 opens options particularly regarding...

    Another Merlin Oreas build - Rohloff content

    The start of a new build, starting with a mint Merlin Oreas in my size 17.5 and Rohloff/King wheel set. The Merlin came to me complete although dated, and the Rohloff was set up with a long torque arm, very ugly. So first stage if to order all the bits to convert to Monkey bone, refresh the...

    Rohloff experts! Sppedbone or Monkey

    I think I've cracked this now. I want to try Rohloff hub and the bike I have bought has a CC DB hub but was using fugly long torque arm. The frame has IS disc mount, I can see I need to change the axle plate to OEM2. At first I thought I needed a speedbone but that seems to have been superseded...
