    Rear Wheel Lost All Tension

    Over the years I’ve built tens of pairs of wheels and never had an issue with any of them until now. The wheel in question was the first MTB wheel I’ve built with a boost rear hub and ironically the build I was most proud of until I rode it. All the right hand spokes were tensioned was to 125...

    Help MK2 QR20 Bombers and Hope C2 Brakes

    Simple problem; IS brake mount plus IS calliper equals a gap: Any ideas what's up? I've lost track of the number of bikes I've built over the years and I've never seen anything like this, I'm guessing I need a spacer and they're no longer available? Anyone got on going spare? For those that...
