Re: Best Saddle and Shorts for ITT’s and LD XC Racing

My Crikey, how much cargo bibs arrived today. All looking pretty good, well made, comfy etc. However I have to admit to being pretty disappointed.... At £195 I was kind of hoping they would sing to me or arrive on the back of a golden condor or something. As it happens they just came wrapped in a pl...

Hi there. Welcome back. I’ve come onto the forum since you’ve been gone. Thanks for talking about your mental health. I’m an ex- serviceman and have had my own troubles with my mental health. This year is the fifth anniversary of my recovery from all of that. Glad to hear you are on the up. Glad to ...

Re: Forks

I’d like to add x-fusion forks into the mix. I just fitted a set of Slide 29er forks to my Fargo. £200 brand new. 80-120mm adjustable travel. 32mm stanchions. I was very sceptical but am impressed so far. They are working very well. I’ve dropped the travel with no problems. They have the option for ...

Re: Suspension Seatposts and Stems

That's a very kind offer, I'm 80kg +- 2/3 most of the time so 2.1 at about 25-35 psi, I hope will have some comfort in it without being too draggy. If it doesn't work to well, I'll msg you to see what I could borrow and try out. I’ve been running 2.1 Nano’s at 22-25psi with an all up rider/bike/lug...

Re: Six Moon Designs Deschutes

Not sure if the 8” peg is strictly needed but the front line does take more load than the rest.
If you go on eBay and are willing to wait a few weeks for delivery from China you can get very light ti pegs for much cheapness.

Interesting topic. Think the replies just show how personal this is. I go all out for old Brooks leather saddles - they don't wear out. Fargo has a Swift titanium and Krampus a B17 narrow titanium.

Re: Jones+Aero Bars

31.8mm for the Tokens. Don’t know how much bulge the Jone’s have but you’ll probably be fine.
I’ve a set I put on my Fargo occasionally. They’re cheap and cheerful but I find they work well enough/are comfortable enough.

Re: Best ss set up

Have used all options for Rohloff rather than SS but the principle is pretty much the same. I’d go with EBB and adj. dropouts in joint first. EBB on a Thorn and Salsa Alternators have been faultless. Horizontal slots on my Krampus are ok but do slip occasionally even with a tug. Getting the wheel in...

Possible but don’t think that’s the solution I want. I may just end up getting the Sugru onto the fork leg dial to give me a bit more grip :geek:

Remote fork lockout lever. Dropbar options?

What options exist for a fork lockout to fit drop bars either on the 31.8mm or the 23.8mm section. I guess I could use a LH brifter as i’m using a Rohloff but that’s an expensive option even second hand. Maybe a thumb shifter? My internet trawling hasn’t really found anything except a Suntour remote...
