I've got a mk1 Ti. Absolutely love it. Run it with both 700 and 650's for more off road work and it's never missed a beat. Very comfortable and in 700 guise weighs in at 19lb. No problems with durability even after I stuffed it into a wooden fence post yesterday at close to 20mph. Bike came off bett...

Its just a generic Chinese carbon frame (made up for a guy who raced it and won the British Fat Bike Championships on it). Carbon rims etc..

I picked one up recently and I'm hooked. Already have a 29er that also runs 3" 650's but have always been fat curious. Admittedly its a light fatty, 11kg. Its seriously fast, floats over stuff the 3" one rattled my teeth on. Only a fraction slower up hill but over the course of a ride its ...

A most excellent boo T shirt, loving the eggplant colour!

My arse seems to going through somewhat of a change in shape, maybe it's "that" time off life?.... A couple of saddles I've tried but weren't 'just right'. Fizik Gobi M5 with the S'alloy (kium) rails. Excellent condition, a few rides old. £90 new £50 posted SOLD Burgtec Cloud Ti, ridden tw...

Just seen this. May be of some interest to those who like their rafts? (may not).

I've swapped out from 1x to 2x so have some Rival 1 parts to move on. Pictures are available and prices include posting. SRAM Rival 1 Hydro R left brake lever. A very minor scuff to the bottom of the lever and 2 small splits on the underside of the hood (doesn't affect performance and can be seen wh...

Hux, I use 2 sets of wheels on the bike. A 650 gravel set using an 11 speed SRAM 10-42 and a 700c 11 speed Shimano 10-36.
Works great with both

new rival 22 mech arrived today.
Fitted with (to be on the safe side) a road link. Works like a dream, silky smooth changes.
So it appears then it must be something to do with the chain line the Rival 1 doesn't like when trying to use a 2x up front.

I've got ergons on my Jones's. Really happy with them (previously used ESI) very comfortable.

me? surely its on your Christmas list "Di-3 will also include on-board controls that allow riders to instantly access email, bank accounts, and social media networks such as Facebag, Tinder, Grinder, and Slither"

1x rear mechs sensitive to chainline? I believe so. I wonder if the narrow/wide upper jockey wheel on the 1x rear mechs causes problems? Other than that I can't see how it would make any difference having a double up front or a single! I couldn't work it out. Made no sense to me. Could be the jocke...

Thanks guys. Rear mech and changer/brake/STI unit are original just added a new cable. Up front new changer/brake/STI unit (for double) new front mech and new double chainset. Yes, checked the cable and routing and that's all good. I spoke to SRAM technical this morning and the Rival 1 Rear mech won...

no, all drop bar, Hydro r levers. It was working perfecly before I swapped from a single front ring to a double. I also put in a new cable but I've checked that and its running fine.

I've just swapped from a sram rival 1 set up to a double front chainring, new front mech and shifter. I kept the original rear mech assuming it would be ok but rear shifting is appalling.
I can't see why it won't (shouldn't) work or is the 1x rear mech on some way exclusive to the 1x system?

Sorry, no

I cant help with the inverse but I've got the previous version (from backcountry scott). I'm 42 chest and 32/34 waist. I always found the Rab too big and baggy, prefer a tighter fit in a down jacket. Mines a large and still enough room for a mid layer.
Love it (hoods huge though )

I'd like to add a bottle cage to by down tube (Ti frame). I've got the halfords band things just curious as to whether I could drill and use rivnuts?

I've been looking at them recently. My dads got dementia has occasionally goes 'walk about' (and drive about...) The idea is to put one on his car keys as he never goes anywhere without them (creature of habit). The range on the bluetooth ones are the limiting factor. The GPS ones require a suscript...

Thanks guys. Sella looks nice but pricey and can't find one second hand. Picked up a brand new Ti Burgtec on eBay for £19
I'll give that a go then look for a sella if that doesn't work out.

I've been using a Fizik Kurve on both my mtb and road bike. Despite appearances its the most comfortable saddle I've ever used by far. Unfortunately the carbon base has broken on each one within days of each other. Fizik have replace one (yet to have the conversation about the second) albeit with a ...
