They do that, it's called internal combustion, bloody marvelous invention

.... I should add... I'll be replacing the Odyssey triple traps before my shins end up at A&E. And.... Miraculously the fork holds air and goes up and down as it should😲 I am tempted to flip the stem for the full xc look🤔😂

It's been quite sometime since I've ventured into the Retrobike forums. But I always keep an eye out for a bargain, so when this popped up locally for less the cost of a Smoke rear I couldn't resist. It wants front wheel bearings and ill probably upgrade the tatty Deore octalink crank for an xt...

As above please. 1997 one would be good but anything considered. Ta

Ive got a good friend in Australia who I am sure would order some and send them on.

Well it's not that one! The more I look at it the more I'm convinced it's left hand thread!!!

Never found anything else more comfy and it's perfect for my short 'straight out the front door local loop' which is flat ish.

100/135. Adaptors off the interweb and a couple of small washer type spacers to get them in and discs on correct alignment then redish the wheels to centralise the rims. It only happened as i saw the wheels advertised really cheap and I like a challenge😁

I'm building my old Blur up for winter use. Theres a lot of play in the bottom pivot on the suspension linkage. Bearings are good, the play is partly due to the bush being worn and partly, I suspect, that the linkage is worn. Are spares for these available anywhere? Ta

There's actually not much in it as although the 'comfy' one is higher its also longer. Ill give the back breaker a go next weekend😁

It's a lovely spot, out of my front door and 5 mins through the country park. View from my patio is better though😁 Shiney bit in the distance is the sea at Pembrey Country Park. Picture really doesn't do it justice.

Maiden voyage complete. Just need to source some suitable grips, ideally eventually I will get a white Stalk stem for it aswell. Ill gently see if I can improve the paint at all but a repaint isn't on the cards at the moment.

So... Do I go full Mint head down, arse up.... Or the more sensible option
