All brakes would still be fine with that as I would be walking
Yes fair point an "extreme" DH route might be a step too far for XC brakes But I have ridden the bit shaf means [ with him ] and they will all cope with that

Some people enjoy type 2 way more than i do

It's 80m of height loss each time, not really that much, well within XC capabilities

This
Every brake should cope with this . I have only ever used Sintered and when they squeal the problem is almost always cold or poorly aligned calliper.

Great effort and a good read, also full of handy stopping points for those of us still to do it [assuming i ever get fit enough ]

Hope they work OK, as returns could be interesting now

Fitted some for a mate and done about 500 miles without issue so far don't think you need to worry

when it works well its great, like a normal shop When it does not work well its a nightmare, I only use if its very cheap and something they have not made [ mate had three frames and none were r straight, one was so bent the wheel hit the chain stay. Number four is till going strong to be fair. YMMV

The most impressive thing for me is how you managed to stay in place for your bivvy spot [ was there two weeks ago its quite steep]

Chapeau sir, chapeau

Broken/cracked/bruised/mangled ribs here

Thankfully mine was bar into sternum and seems to have repaired quicker so got a proper [ish not full on] lakes ride in yesterday
Hopefully you get a lucky [ cost me BAM for this year mind]

Yes it's probably only going to help with the thread issue not the length issue

Would an ALPKIT one fit ? both my sonders ( rear) have a nut ( held on by a grin screw) ...not sure it would fit in your fork but the shop is relatively close to see.
I can measure the maxle if that helps ( 148 hub)

Used to get baby ones in a pouch and as a roll on type

Heated and midge free bike workshop and breakfast room

Where is that ?

Congrats on putting that Youngster angus in his place

Ikkon is ok in mud [ but it is a 2.8 so YMMV

Horrible to set up tubeless if you want a 29 version you can have it [ you wont thank me unless you use tubes]

I can poetically sort this

are you john cooper clarke?

hey and welcome its good to have another local here [ though you wont know who I am I ride with dave from bolton who attends your real ale wobble and run]. I have ridden with you a few times [ a long long time ago]

I have a front SRAM boost hub black 32 with that propriety SRAM interface good for rockshok forks but won't fil all forks ( cheap though)

Anyone know if these in non tubeless are hard to make tubeless? Never struggled* to get a non tubeless MTB tyre set up unless its continental and have done a couple of Vittoria ones- no direct experience with that one though. * I have + tyre that is non tubeless that slowly leaks[no idea where] but...

and I am out

No way that my ribs were well enough for a bivyy so rather than risk aggravating the injury and being unable to ride for any longer I went home

it's probably the longer dropper that won't fit due to a longer shaft/hidden post needed to take the extra length.

I can measure mine if you want

unlikely to help but SRAM rival rear[left] in the unlikely event you get an offer for the front one !

1. Dropper - that is a good life for a dropper might just be time to bite the bullet as they are £50 new for a 100 mmm dropper from crc 2. Wider tyres are more draggy [ though it may just be the lack of mud] so I use wider in winter narrower in summer - that is a s scientific asI get personally. 3. ...

Aye its hot out there and wish her all the best from all of us

Looks like we will have our first female finisher now with Alice Lemkes
Chapeau

Last day of the month Lazarus is erm out on the last day of the month - was not optimistic given my ribs but i am vaguely optimistic i can ride* and "sleep"on an air bed**
