Re: 'Int tubeless brilliant!
Don't forget to remove the original rim strips....even if it looks like they are going to help the gorilla tape get a good seal!
I've been tubeless on everything for around six years now, and it's only failed me twice....both big tears that would have ended any tyre, tubed or not!

Re: Carbon 29er frame with DT forks / Xt brakes
And if the frame goes, how much for the brakes?
It's a cracking deal, but there would be too much month left at the end of my money!

Re: Simple drop bar conversion
I've just converted my old 1995 Marin team ti to drop bars.. I used a pair of 105 (5700) shifters with 10 speed chainset, chain and an old xtr (952?) 9 speed rear mech. I am using V brakes though, as the frame is too old and doesn't have a disc mount on the rear! Works perfectly! I would have used s...

Re: Cold toes
I get this too....my best results so far have been a thin pair of merino socks with a bigger than normal lake boot, so I have an air gap at the front of boot. Then, I've bastardised some neoprene booties, so only the toe and a stringy bit that goes round the back, remains. This set up is good for su...
