See if that end cap pulls off...long nose pliers wrapped in a bit of rag and be gentle when pulling/twisting...failing that, have a good look down the axle and make sure it doesn't use a big F-off Allen key, a 12 or something. If nothing doing, support where the disc bolts on and some firm twats wit...

I do love it though.....it's worth a go to see if it gets another few hundred miles out of it!

I was the bloke who elongated the holes in my (first hundred worldwide tester!) saddle. They sent me a new top and I managed to make it like new. Now, there is the strange line across the front, right where it crosses the cantle plate. So I've taken a leaf out of the old school way of fixing em, and...

Can't see a price? But that's a monster bit of slack cabling by the front wheel!

Good work by the way!

I've just dug my sewing machine out of the back of the mancave, where its sat for at least 5 years...I've just got to work out how to thread it and use it now!

I was watching that too, in the vain hope of a bargain! Pretty much a dream build but I'm sure it's been listed before. Do a Google search on the images to see if they show up anywhere else. I would do it myself, except I am a Luddite, and although I've heard the youngsters talking about doing it, I...

I saw the decathlon one today...2.5 litres and attaches by Velcro straps. To give you an indication of size, I almost managed to get it to fit in the loop of my Jones bars :grin: Yep, I bowled in there with my salsa spearfish, as there is no way I'm leaving it unattended in harlow for any amount of ...

I have one in very good condition with no punctures iirc....£25 posted?

And I wouldn't use chupas in anything other than dry/gravelly stuff! Mine had me off without warning and I couldn't kneel down for a year....that messed my tiling up, good and proper!

I was one of the original testers for the c17 and mine failed after about 5000 miles....I just rang them up, they put me through to the workshop, and a lovely old fella sent me a new top and new bolts!

If you are near London, mario vaz is very reasonable....used to work for a lot of quality frame builders in the past....his brother winston uses the workshop too and used to build for top marques....

I really must disagree about chupas in mud....slippy clay in particular....they will attempt to kill you dead! I've just fitted a pair of black chilli conti mountain kings in a 2.4 flavour to my trek stache, and they work flawlessly on the mulefut rims, and can go to 11-12psi without any obvious sig...

What mudguards are they fella?

A nice little restrap frame bag...I went for the small, as it will fit three of my bikes :0)

I was going to pull the trigger on a purple frame set from swimmer tons, but they've gone.....the power of the bearbones, right there!

Your existing headset will be fine....I've got straight steerer forks on my tapered headtube bike. You just have to fit a reducer crown race. Mine is a chris King headset, but I have a hope reducer race on it and it's fine.

Another top tip, assuming you have Presta valves, is to replace one of your dust caps with a shraeder adapter. If you have a catastrophic failure when out and you have to take the tyre off the bead, you can seat it again using a petrol station air compressor. This has saved me twice, and I have had ...

If you are anywhere near Stansted airport, and ride a size large, then you are welcome to have a go on my stache ;0)

The weight thing is a myth with chupacabras on my trek.... They are very leightweight and spin up a treat. I notice the wind a lot more on it, but the levels of grip (when the surface is right!) and the ride more than make up for it! I know ton tried the stache and found it flexy, but for me, coming...

That's a cool picture

Thanks Greg, if the first dibbee wants to split, I'd be happy with one light unit and a battery? Worth a shot! :0)

Yeah, it makes sense.... To be fair, I've been thinking about a set of 650b+ wheels for my stache for winter duties, so I can equip them with some dedicated mud tyres and still have decent clearance.... It's annoying, as I bought the stache for winter mud plugging duties and to keep my spearfish nice!

I've got a spearfish too, which I love! I've also got a 29+ Trek stache, that I love equally! I'm a bit concerned about the apparent lack of tyre choice too, but can't help thinking that 29+ is a better bike for what I do....long distance (relatively) XC stuff, as opposed to any jumpy, technical, bo...

In the same way that nobody would ride oval chainrings....tried them back in the day etc......

I'd be very interested in the ay-ups if they are available?
