Re: Bike packing full suspension frame/ bike recommendations
There are some killer deals here on aluminium ones Other than the rims name and a paint job is there a difference between the 2022 and the 2023? Seriously tempted by the 22 as it seems a steal Had a turner sultan (well still have technically) and liked the DW link As far as I am aware, they just do...

Re: Bike packing full suspension frame/ bike recommendations
Chiming in to "the bike I have is great": I have an Ibis Ripley (since 2020, tested a bunch of similar bikes before I got it). Lovely balanced trail bike. I also have a Ripley, I also really like it. You can fit a small bottle under the shock and use a long frame bag above it. There are s...

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![Very Happy :grin:](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

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.
