Ok, ta.

Odd mode of failure - I'd have expected the rim beads to split away (like what happens on rim brake rims when they are worn out), not for it to come un-pinned. Can you force the pin joint back together again? It's not pulled apart lengthways if you see what I mean. Will look at the state of the rim...

A friend of mine managed to get a tyre to blow off, the bang made the freehub and cassette fall off a DT hub. That was before I, I mean they were aware they were tool-free to get off.

I'm sure your friend learned his lesson pretty quick

Just out of interest, what is the rated maximum pressure for the rim? 60psi isn't that much and with the accuracy of the gauges on some pumps - my Park track pump being a good example - I could reach just over 50 psi indicated and actually have 60 psi in the tyre? On the flip side I have also used ...

The rims not welded, just pinned. and the wheel is practically pringled. got a serious wobble on. I reckon if i told WTB i'd put 60psi in it they're not going to honour any warranty. The vast majority of rims are pinned and not welded and I think you are right about the 60 psi. Out of curiosity, wh...

Ermmmmm....
At least it was pink glitter and having 3 craft and art mad kids no-one will ever notice!

I had that happen me but thankfully the rim was ok. The noise from it though! It was like someone had detonated something right beside me. I had a ringing in my ears for a couple of hours. Thankfully I had my rubber ear buds in listening to a video and they attenuated the blast quite a lot so no ri...

Carbon rim? No it's a wtb scraper. WTB Scrapper more like. Just looking at the photo closeup has that failed at the weld or however the the rim is joined? Seems odd that the rim would fail each side in a similar way. I think I would be having a word with WTB if so. Defo a scrapper! It did go off li...

Is the hope rear available?

I have some Innov8 Trail gaiter things. They're meant to keep stones and the like from getting in your shoes which they do but as a flat pedal user, the soles of my shoes don't have a heel so the elastic strap underneath soon gets destroyed. I thought that would be the case, I think I'll mod mine w...

Doubt it. Will see what it looks like once I've stripped it down.

Yeah, I know that now........
It's been fine the last couple of times. Lesson learned.
Face.palm.

Oh ffs!!!!!
It's worse than that: The rim is nackered :(

This happened while i was sat watching sweary Dave's ht550 video
I brought it inside after reinstalling a sloppy weather tyre in the garden.
Wasn't a good idea putting 60psi in then bringing it into the warm. It was somewhat loud.

Ok, thanks for that. Which do you use?

In wet conditions i find I'm constantly annoyed by bits of mud and stone flicked into my riding shoes.
Does anyone use running/ debris gaiters to avoid this?

Ta.

i think these might be compatible but have never actually tried them myself:

Thinking about getting some maps to peruse.

would we need the full set of landrangers to cover the route. sheets: 124, 125, 135, 136?

I just made a pair of connectors for my Revo using 4mm eternal x 1.7mm internal barrel jacks available on eBay for a couple of quid. As far as I'm aware all Exposure lights use the same ports... ... Just tested it, the port on my Diablo is the same spec. This is the connector I used: https://rover....

Thanks Chris, YGM.

Aye, I've seen that.
Wanna do a homebrew version, save some pennies.

Can anyone help me out with the spec of the connectors found on the joystick?
I'm wanting to see if I can make up a male to male extension cable for charging from a battery pack.
