Re: What you done t' your bike today

Thanks for that!
Looks like I'm buying a set to try on my stooge!

Let's see if they make it to the 2025 wrt.

Re: What you done t' your bike today

Put some Chinesium carbon Surly corner bar copies on my single speed broken road, went for a ride and they didn't snap so I'm calling that a win. This is the closest I get to a gravel bike but it has 2.6 inch tyres on so quite a bit of comfort from that. https://i.imgur.com/nSsKHXM.jpg https://i.im...

Re: 12 speed woes!

Thanks for the detailed info. Yes it's running 148 rear end. It's a stooge scrambler I was previously running it as 1x11 on these cranks without the smaller ring fitted. In the dry fit it felt like there was a lot of pressure on the chain line when it the big 51t. I've ordered a cheap ring just to g...

12 speed woes!

Hi all, Can someone advise me please! I've just converted from 11speed xt to 12speed xt/xtr mix running a 32 front ring. I nievly assumed I could run the existing front ring as a temporary fix as it's fairly low mileage. I've since learned that it won't work and need to get a 12 speed compatible opt...

Re: Bar ends -WANTED

I've a pair of X-lite ones anodized in a tasteful blue you can have - they are a bit battered and at some point I re-araldited the extension back onto the clamp but they are fine! I also have a pair of 'Uno' stubby ones, and actually a pair of USE ones which need a hole drilled in the bars - a prod...

Bar ends -WANTED

Does anyone have a retro set of bar ends kicking about in the shed they want to move on for beer tokens?

Ideally one of the decent brands like trans X, X-lite or Onza for a bit of bling.

WANTED CAMELBAK BLADDER

Hi all,

I've just dug out my kit ready for the wrt and seem to have acquired a split in my CAMELBAK Lobo bladder.

Before I buy new does anyone have one for sale? Pretty sure it's a 3l but 2l would possibly work.

Cheers
Chris
