14th of June, which year did you have in mind?

We all know, in order to downsize, we need to buy 3 more bikes, then you definitely know your making the right decisions, and you can sell some, and also still have plenty of bikes. maybe you end up with the same total number of bikes, but if you ride them all more often, you have more bikes in...

DT Revolution spokes would be good. Also the DT spoke length calculator. Measure the rims yourself rather than relying on the printed erd!

As for discs on road bikes I just got a proper roadie for the first time in my life and decided against them as they make every thing heavy and that's the last thing I wanted. Can't really see why you would need them except maybe on a gravel bike? I have recently switched to 1x on my mtb, and...

I don't get excited about furniture very often, but that is really nice, the history makes it. Congratulations on your admirable wood!

I have recently switched to 1x on my mtb, and then done the same again when I built my gravel bike. Less parts to go wrong and less weight, simpler bike to ride, one less thing to collect mud. You would generally work out where the rider is in terms of fitness and intended use, and then tailor...

MS Racing?

I was racing on this last night, I really love it, it just suits me perfectly.

M980 will be nice, and imo the 970 cranks would still go nice looks wise, they are also nice and light. Ive still got my old 970 equipped Kinesis, and despite everything being worn out, its worn together and still rides spot on. Superstar components do a nice range of chainrings that are...

I've got a 700c gravel bike with a rigid fork, and it has made me think about trying a fully rigid 29er. I run the race bike at about 16psi anyway so they have a lot of give in them. Regarding 1x, its down to the rider, you know how fit you are and how you will use the bike. When I bought my...

Regarding going 1x on your cranks, you would need a narrow/wide chainring for chain retention unless you are going to use a chain device. When you say about going tapered steerer, I'm not following, if you have a straight steerer on your sids then that's what you have, then a reducer in the...

I have just got myself a 29 inch wheeled thing for xc racing. Its not actually that light at the moment, at 24lbs its a fair chunk heavier than my Ti Hardtail that it has replaced, but I will soon be completing the XTR group set so will make it a fair bit lighter. Despite the present extra...

That is a weird pic, not going to ask where you found that.

I'm just thinking out loud, and also, I have probably missed out whole pages on this thread, but are we any nearer coming up with a plan. I assume most of you will be doing a recce lap or 2, so will then possibly know a rough idea on lap times. if we have a sheet so we know who is up next...

I have a set of prototype carbon forks, with part carbon stanchions that didn't go into production. They are quite nice.

Re: !! Mayhem Camp Retrobike PARKING/ENTERTAINMENT - discuss !! Il be in a Mitsubishi Outlander and have a small 2man pop up tent. I wont be getting there till Saturday morning, most likely around 9.30 - 10. It would be cool if I could be with in a couple of minute walk of party central. Il...

Regarding how good they are, well, for a very old elastomer fork, they are ok, assuming they are set up for your weight, and don't have too much play in the bushes. They look good, are not too heavy and don't flex too much,.considering they come from a time when suspension was either crap or...

You can use elastomers from Manitou 1 or Pace forks. They have 4 main elastomers, and a smaller top out elastomer. The top out one usually lasts ok and I have not needed to find a replacement. There was a special long Alan key supplied with the forks, but if you have a 1/4 drive socket on an...

I will probably bring a couple of frames, Zaskar, possibly a Jekyll with a lefty fork, depending on what I can fit in the car. If anyone fancies an Offroad Master I could try and work out a way of getting it dropped off.

Just because this will be the first thread with 3 different Megamo's, Here is my fully rigid Equipe Pro. :lol:
