Re: Spain and the £97 rule

Nonsense in reality.

Brexit has apparently created all kinds of new rules. The only difference I've seen is that the Dutch folk at hook of holland think we're all tossers.

Actually, I'm not sure that's a difference to be honest.

I'd not worry about it.

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!

My point wasn't really that this was or wasn't a reasonable price, nor whether I would or would not pay it.

But that internet flaming and stating things are a rip off is all too common when we haven't used a service.

High mount bottle cage?

Anyone know of a bottle cage with the bolt holes right at the bottom, so the cage essentially mounts very high up?

Cheers

I know of the little bar things that move cages up or down, these are the second best option :grin:

Re: Trailmech hubs

Same as everyone here. I suspect the hubs in the first post are Novatec / Bitex and will more than likely be absolutely fine.

I have a set of hunts, trailwides from 2021. They need new grease in the freehub a bit more often than some DT Swiss I have, but other than that just keep on running.
