I had one of these before I got my El Mariachi.

Excellent bikes but a little heavy. Geo is v similar to the first gen Surly Ogre which was a phenomenal bikepacking bike.

Looking for:

A decent condition 10/11 speed hollowtech 2 chainset (170mm ideally)

A 10 speed shifter and long cage rear mech - this is for my pub bike so nothing fancy needed. Cheaper the better!

Thanks

Sorry rear mech now sold

No worries!

Can I have the bb7 MTN pair please?

PM incoming

Thanks for the promotion guys!

Will be on eBay tomorrow night as no interest so far.

Struggled to shift as a full bike so now I’ve broken down. The frame is in excellent condition and had frame protection applied from new (which I have now removed). There are a couple of tiny chips and some of the paint around the brake mounts has come off. I purchased it brand new from Lyon Equipme...

Geometry basically. This is a 2015 frame so none of the modern long / low / slack trail bike angles.

Considering selling my medium el mariachi frameset with a rockshox 100mm fork if something more XC floats your boat

These are in good condition and are barely used. I’m pretty sure these are the ‘deluxe’ version but it does not say that on the bar itself so not sure how I can tell. The hood to hood dimension is 46cm but happy to send you a photo of other dimensions as these flare a fair bit. Looking for £25 plus ...

I have a set of Salomon XA pro gtx which are slightly more rugged than the Speedcross. I’ve just got back from the lakes and they were brilliant on hikes.

If you are planning on long runs in them they may be a tad stiff though. I think Sportsshoes have them on offer at the moment for £110 or so.

Yes still available

I’ve switched my hub out to a Son 28 so have this spare.

It’s a 12mm thru axle but comes with the kit to convert to QR.

These things are bombproof. Had the bearings replaced about 150 miles ago.

£55 posted

Thank you!

Seems like the rear hub needs a specific set but the front ones will work.

If you’re willing to let the front set go, please let me know how much you’d like for them.

Cheers

Thanks I’ll check online

I managed to score some of the cheap hope wheels from wiggle for my wife’s surly.

Does anyone have some QR end caps lying around for Pro 4 / 5 hubs they’d like to move on please?

Many thanks

Great - thanks for the tips Drew

Thanks Sam v helpful

Hullo all,

Myself and a few friends have a free weekend in early March and the plan is to drive to Devon on the friday, and do a route in either Dartmoor or exmoor (loop).

I’ve heard Dartmoor can get a bit damp for camp spots - any route recommendations/ general advice?

Cheers

I have a 2016 (I think) salsa El mariachi purchased from these shores. It’s a superb bike but as my son has got into mtb I’ve bought a modern hardtail. Thus I’m looking to swap out the El Mariachi for something more general purpose for shop visits / commuting as well as bikepacking so looking for a ...

Some Big Agnes tents and kit 50% off at Sigma Sports

Yeah it’s a bit odd really. Most bikes that can take a 650 x 47 have better 700c clearance than this. They claim the maximum is 36c I think. But I couldn’t fit a Vittoria Terreno something 38c in there.
