Bonty XR2s work well for me

Thanks Sean. Would like to have them tight enough that the back bit doesn’t turn and they stay put. I’ve got one of the those tools thanks but would like to leave it at home when on trips. As I already have hex’s on the mult tool I would prefer to just use those if possible. Hence why I was asking a...

Just looked them up actually they were Aluminium

Absolutely no place been a fastener unless it's purely for decoration

Absolutely agree they were pish. Didnt buy for the bling, bought for the double hex

Stainless can crack and fail Mart (one reason it's not allowed on suspension bolts on cars), whereas chrmoly will stretch - chromoly steel should be what you want. Stainless is fine if used in the correct way (grade and size) and are used extensively in the marine industry and in civil engineering ...

Looking to the Boners collective knowledge to find

I’ve got a tiny mini leatherman. Whilst a lot of the tools are duplicated, it does have some pliers (that are pretty sturdy) which you tend not to get on a multi tool

Edit - it’s the leatherman squirt

Ohhh sounds interesting …. Will pm you

Anyone got one to sell, frame only (or F&F)
Looking for a size large. Let me know
Cheers Martin

Voile straps would be my nomination
They just work lovely, so many uses strapping things down (or up) and I’ve not manage to break any of the ones I have.

Does it’s job with efficiency and ease

The riders are a couple of days into it.
Anyone else following?

I’ve got some bombolinis on the front on my hard tail. Roll quite well.
Much more grip than the knard they replaced

I believe he’s had to stop to repair a broken frame, but now continuing on

I’ve bled mine on the fly outside Halfords Aberystwyth on one of the bearbones events
From Memory the bleed nipple came loose due to a branch.
Solved the problem with simple tools

I used to but stopped as it was too sore (I had a really solid black foam version)
Would go back to it if I could find one more forgiving/softer

Consider also a Sea to Summit Spark bags
They come in different ratings from 1-IV

Not used them myself, but the lightest One looks light for summer use

I had problems with my charger/Joystick. After 2x problems, and sending back and forth both the charger and joystick were replaced. They think my faulty charger caused issues with the light. Although annoying at the time, I’m glad I bought exposure. The customer service was second to none No further...
