you don't see Neodymium ever mentioned but for the best efficency it's needed for the magnets in the motors. https://www.news.com.au/travel/destinat ... 744ca12bc5 I guess it isn't needed but going back to iron ferrite would be like going back to lead-acid from Lithium-ion.

The team bike looks like the 88 Montana but with a special paint job, nice bike that was too and the special paint makes it all the more rare. Seems a bit like my Raleigh Team 531 (take a high end bike from the range and turn it into a team rep, where the actual Team bikes were custom jobs from...

Re: Re: That’s great, it’s not for me a question on a Facebook group.

Re: This is what I thought too

Re: Trail or country in 7s? We all know that 7s landed in 89 on mtn lx, deore and xt, thought that country and trial were gone in 90 when replaced by 300 and 400lx which were 7s did they update country and trail to 7s and run it longer?

As per title. Assumed they were only ever 6s and replaced in 90 with 300/400 stis in 7s, but a post from Facebook has raised this with this odd picture https://images.app.goo.gl/3mg468RMttPBG9rk6 Along with someone swearing blind they have both groups in 7s but showing a picture of a bitsa bike.

I've seen a lot of 80s/90s aluminium caravan walls corrode due to the adhesives used. They corroded from the inside out resulting in holed outer panels that looked a bit swiss cheesed. Obviously in this situation a permanent repair is almost impossible as it would involve replacement of a whole...

Re: Re: - fluid in the lower leg preventing travel A damper leak will cause this and basically hydrolock the fork, had this before on my old Recon SL forks, nightmare scenario partial soft travel and then solid lock at about 50% travel, couldn't even lock them out as the lockout relies on the...

These were tested in the summer by GMBN when Blake went bikepacking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmL6av7V9DM They look to be very good and worked well. Not keen on the bag route myself as riding with a Camelback in the summer is bad enough let alone a huge rucksack. I'm planning on a tour...

That Voodoo Canzo is in my hands now (my eldests FS bike, while he has a 29er hardtail for XC stuff), I've also got a Kona Dawg Faux bar design for myself. I've also got for total contrast a Giant Anthem that uses their Maestro suspension design. The Cube Stereo range is also 4 bar link design.

It does narrow as you climb the ladder in costs, My old Anteaus which was fairly expensive in 1992/3 is pretty quick but it's not as fast as my Giant Anthem 2 (bourne out by Strava times on both bikes over a 15 mile route). It's good to ride the old thing a few times a year but my expectations...

Seem to remember it was a tigged tange db frame, mine was ok too, just far too big.

Had a set of those when I first did the 12hour lawnmower race, I only got rid of them earlier this year. They used to use a 6v lead acid battery and last a couple of hours, did the job though for a couple of years. I've really punished a couple of sets of the Solarstorm X2's. I had to strip and...

The Nestling bar lights look good, like a Solarstorm with a built in li-po and I think I'll get a couple for the kids/wife as they don't get on with the battery pack lights. Will keep with my (now defunct it seems) Brite-R (Veir and Selecta) lights with custom remote packs for myself.

Re: All too familiar with covid. I am 2 refunds into 4 for my cancelled holiday in April and have had to invoke section 75 on all because all 4 providers have failed to refund. although one of the airlines has, the vendor (kiwi.com) will not give me the money and say that (which is a lie) I...

Re: 1993/4 Cape Wrath 653 (Retromod/Gravel/Cruiser) We do what we can to get our other halves out with us. Mine rode a GT Bravado across the country back in 2014 (can't believe it was 6 years ago) which was a nice period correct build but she was more than happy to move across to a modern Cube...

M8000 medium will run a 46t without a goat link on a 1x, shimano changed the guidance after the slx m7000 came out.

Have a look at the Brite-R. I've got a bunch of Solar Storm lights and they are generally reliable, but they are not all the same they are probably the most clone light on ebay and you are unlikely to get one with an actual Cree LED (these are faked massively). You see major variances between...

Re: I doubt i'll be diving down into that rabbit hole too far. I've always wanted a nice deck and this fits the bill well, as apart from a broken hinge (that I will replace as they are about £13 on ebay) it's in perfect condition with no perspex lid cracks like most seem to suffer. I just need...
