As was8v says, Shimano and Sram not the only option for cassettes. The 10 speed 11-50 I bought off ebay was a Bolany, a few rides old, works just as well as the Sram cassette, maybe not as light but then neither is your wallet. Read reviews saying it wasn't very good, not my experience though.

Ah Keith, daylight is for perving, darkness is for dogging, I thought you knew that..... ;) clubby, a man who clearly doesn't have a mirror in his house

Jeez, I knew that ☹️ ......read the word system and my thought process just went that way, sorry. Good job you were paying attention......:) I had looked in to doing it 1x12 instead of 1x10 but buying XT 1x10 mech and shifter was cheaper than the Sram equivalent. Sram 12 speed being newer than...

What I did with my Wolf Ridge when it went 1x10 was fit an XT RD-M786 Shadow Plus clutch mech, an XT 10 speed shifter, an XT MT800 BB with RaceFace Evolve DH cranks with NW ring. The cassette is 11-50 which as you say causes problems for rear mech, but I fitted a cheapo ebay Goat link which...

A 12 speed cassette needs an entirely different freehub body, you'd need a new wheel. Also, if my memory is correct, the 12 speed cassette biggest sprocket is dished so it overhangs freehub body to clear the spokes close to hub, maybe this would put chain even closer to tyre even if you could...

@cheesebutt666 the RaceFace Evolve DH cranks I put on the Wolf Ridge have an external bearing BB similar to a Hollowtech BB, had no problem fitting it and cranks. @hawkhill97 agree with you saying the chances of breaking frame with longer forks is low especially with the longer travel better...

Nice looking frame/bike you've got yourself there. I know you are constrained by the non-disc fork and swingarm so v-brakes it is, but I've built 4 full-sus Marins for my 2 daughters, my wife and myself. My youngest's Mount Vision has grown with her from a 13.5 to 15.5 to now a 17.5 by just...

It got even better for him, the wee guy is from Bonnyrigg, the Tour sponsors gave him VIP tickets for the stage into Aberdeen. Pascal Eenkhoorn, the rider that gave him the bottle, took him on a tour of the Jumbo-Visma Team bus and he went on the stage with them. He also met Wout van Aert, Mark...

Watched it this afternoon too, on telly though. The wee guy will remember that for a long time. Funny you being there too, a mate of mine lives in house just before you cross bridge, he's a MTBer and climber, no sure if he's into road bike stuff. Still if it's passing yer front door so close...

That's not true, nobody gives a fu... ;)

I assumed that's what happened, but to identify it as a Kona Kula the rest of it must be there for the polis to know, they're no bright enough to be able to tell from just the front wheel, forks and bars...... ;)

Noticed that last night but was puzzled by the 2 pics. There's the outside view and the inside view. The outside pic shows the front wheel and forks, the inside pic just the handlebars nowt else except what you can see through broken window of the wheel/forks. The hole in screen isn't big...

I know you may be set on using the Thomson stem but you'd be stressing the stem in wrong direction by wedging it open and it wouldn't grip steerer with whole inner surface as stem is different curvature to steerer. Removing metal off top of steerer evenly would be difficult without taking it...

I know it's a month late and you've probably already sorted this but nobody who has replied has sussed that the fork is a Cannondale Headshok. Looking at the bikes in your sig you know about Cannondales but that stem would appear to be a 1.5" diameter stem if it doesn't fit the Headshok steerer...

Sandals? Wool socks? Hippie....

The History Man at home just being who he is.......nothing is secret forever.o_O

I wouldn't go that far but at least you can do it in public and not get lifted by the polis..... ;)

Nae nerdy knowledge on my part, there was a photie of it on the BBC Scotland website in "Your pictures of Scotland" yesterday.

Is that the Aberdonian?

Izzat you inviting us to partake of luncheon in yer gairden?:cool:
