    Bomber z150 freeride 26 to 27.5 conversion possible ?

    Yeah ive seen them before, too expensive for the layman though... For that price you could probably buy a press and do it yourself.. https://eur.vevor.com/hydraulic-shop-press-c_10088/vevor-hydraulic-shop-press-6-ton-with-press-plates-h-frame-benchtop-press-stand-p_010739784408

    Bomber z150 freeride 26 to 27.5 conversion possible ?

    Yep.. Will do that.. That was my biggest concern... I dont ride the knarliest of stuff but your right, It would be hair raising if you knew that sometimes the wheel would hit the frame and youd have a handbrake at the wrong time.. :p

    Bomber z150 freeride 26 to 27.5 conversion possible ?

    Understood... I havint actually bought the fork yet, thats why im actually wondering.. I recall people saying that fox forks have more clearance for 27.5s of around the same era.. I might be getting a great deal on the bombers though.. But if it wont work then theres no point.. Then there's the...

    Bomber z150 freeride 26 to 27.5 conversion possible ?

    Any chance anybody with a similar fork or the same said fork would know if theres much clearance to run a 27.5 on these beasts.. Im trying out a conversion on an orange alpine 160 from 2009 thats a 26r... Loads of room in the back swingarm for a 27 it looks like, the chain and seat stays are...

    Ugly modern bikes

    Funny, I just watched Sam pilgrims latest video, and hes going on about his new canyon and how its the best looking bike ever [ I know he says that with every bike he gets because hes paid to say so ] BUT imo its one of the worst bikes ive ever seen.. And very typical of the kind of bike I cant...

    Rear hubs compatible with 24 spoke and 12x135 axles

    I forgot to mention the spokes are straight pull, which also narrows the selection.. I think this is what I need.. realistically all I can find that might be a straight swap.. Its 12x142 but there is another listing that seems to have 135 axles for this hub linked also below...

    Rear hubs compatible with 24 spoke and 12x135 axles

    Id like to keep the rim and tyre setup but change the hub so its compatable with the maxle 135x12mm setup on the frame..This is all I could find that might be suitable to replace the mavic rear hub with.. The mavic is 24h so not many hubs at all compatible, the only downside is I cant find any...

    Rear hubs compatible with 24 spoke and 12x135 axles

    Hey everyone... Im trying to find a compatible wheel or rebuild an existing one for a 12x135 maxle rear wheel frame.. The wheels I have are unfortunately the slightly older gen of the mavic crossmax st before they made the axles swappable from qr to 12mm.. I know the hope pro 2 hubs are 12x135...

    Converting Mavic crossmax rear wheel to Maxle possible ?

    Its confusing me.. It actually looks like a 12mm axle would fit through the hub if I was able to remove the bearing and whatever is inside that the 8mm axle threads into.. Whether or not I could find somthing then to make all that work is another story..

    Converting Mavic crossmax rear wheel to Maxle possible ?

    Ok cool thanks for the heads up.. Looks like Im screwed then.. I only seem to have 8mm bearing behind the cassette when I take it off.. Inside was an 8mm half axle to keep on the cassette threaded into the hub itself, and a nub on the other side.. Dont you just love how somthing so simple now...

    Converting Mavic crossmax rear wheel to Maxle possible ?

    Hey guys... So... I have a set of mavic crossmax St's rim and hubs in 26 inch that im thinking of using in an orange alpine 160 frame.. The alpine is maxle spec rear dropouts while the mavic hubs are quick release.. Wondering if its possible to get some sort of adapter to help put the rear wheel...

    Help on identifying Orange 5 bike

    Yeah I just figured out what it's doing, I genuinely thought it was just some dumb sticker the previous owner put on it.. it looks like it drops the travel down to about 120mm and kind of locks out at that height, then when you spin the compression knob back it jumps back up to 150mm.. seems...
