    Tubeless noob help

    I've not found the tubeless tyres an easy transition, in all honesty I don't see what's so good about them, much more hassle than a tyre and tube. However, not wanting to be left in the dark ages, I do have a couple of bikes sporting tubeless, and probably could convert others. My current...

    Wanted Small frame

    My youngest (11, small for his age) convinced me he wanted a BMX last Xmas, so he has one. As he was so set on one, and his older brother outgrew his small framed bike (,opposite, tall for his age at 14), I sold his old frame in answer to a wanted ad. Now I find myself in a position where my...

    Bought these in error, needed 110bcd and didn't think to check. Very low use, excellent condition. Nice CNC rings, though I'm not sure of brand, though images online suggest they could be FSA or csmpag, but I could be wrong. After £20 Inc UK postage.

    Fork comparison. Pike Vs slide?

    I hope to sort a couple of bikes over the Easter break. One is a bit of a rebuild for my eldest. I've been silly and bought two forks for this. Impulse purchase recently was a set of 22 x-fusion slide RC which I've yet to receive but look as new. Travel is 140mm so about right A while back I...

    Last chain reaction cycle orders?

    With the demise of crc/wiggle, did anyone place that final order for posterity? If so, what did you order and why? I bought a bunch of stuff, mainly to take advantage of the pricing, but another motivation was, aside from the last order from somewhere I'd been happily buying from for years...

    Strange scam on bike part purchase

    So, I walked into this one with my eyes open, so was always protected but I can't figure out what the end game could be. I bought a groupset at a good price (alarm bells were ringing at this early stage). Paid via standard PayPal so covered. Seller refunded me and said there was a problem with...

    Pinnacle iroko dropper fitting help

    I'm looking to fit a dropper to my son's iroko build. It's designed to take an internally routed dropper but I'm struggling to figure out how to route the cable. On the left side of the down tube, there are fittings for internally routing a cable, but I think it's for a front mech as it isn't...

    Segmented titanium fork id

    I bought these on a whim as I have a ti 29er with the same style segmented rear stays (on one ti). I had to have them as I'd been looking for some rigid ti 29er forks for quite a while and not really found anything, and with their styling, took the plunge. I'd also stashed away a to stem and...

    Wanted Fox red crown adjuster dial

    I'm in need of one. Thought I had one, but it's the wrong size. The one I need sits recessed into the lockout lever. The one I have is too wide. Pics below of what I have and where the one I'm after needs to fit. Bolt to lock it down a bonus. The forks it's needed for are rlt. The red dial I...

    Rockshox pike service and tools help

    I'm going to rebuild and service a set of 27.5 RC damper 35 mm pike's. I think they are 2017/18 vintage. I've been through the service manual and it seems simple enough to do myself, I've done many other rs and fox forks so have a good basic knowledge to build on. As this is a newer fork with a...

    I've just bought a used set of 27.5 35mm pikes to upgrade my son's bike I've been tinkering with and getting ready for better weather. The forks need a service which I'm going to do. They do have a bit of wear to the black uppers on one side, probably best described as discolouration, not...

    Boost fork with a non boost wheel

    Not ideal, but I'm looking at upgrading a set of forks for my son's new to him build. I'm looking at a set of 27.5 forks which are boost, but wheels are not. I've looked into it and can see an adapter is needed to space the disc out, and a couple of spacers that make up the 3mm gap each side of...
