Thanks for all the ideas guys.

Hi all,

If like to have a go at making a few different items but don't have a sewing machine. Do you have any suggestions of suitable ones. Ideally I would want to be able to sew material from silnylon to heavier fabrics and old innertube.

Cheers,

Sunrace do do a 11-50 as we have it on my partners bike, think we ordered it from bikediscount.de in Germany for about the same price as an xt 11-46.
The biggest cog is a 50 then a 42.

Edit: the cassette code is mx80 for the 11-50

Have you thought about using a sunrace 11-50 11speed cassette with a 34 ring covers both ends of the spectrum.

Yes the speedball, though the mk3 does look nice too

Thanks guys

Lots of food for thought there.
Might wait for a bit and see what the new stooge is when it's released.

I realise the clearance could be an issue on the rear, I'm happy running 1 by drive chains and would probably settle for some thing that has clearance for large 2.4/maxxis 2.5 rear.
Just trying to see if anyone knows of any out there that would fit up to 3.

Hi all. Could anyone suggest some frames that could fit the following criteria as I'm struggling to find any/many? Fits both 29+ and 29 inch tyres. Is not boost. Comes in xl sizes (I like large bikes with long reach and I'm 186cm with long legs) And is preferably less than £500 for a frame and fork....
