    Anyone else gone to the dark side? Confession: I’ve just bought a 29er..

    Hi float,be scared,I sold the Bon Tempe and kept my Castellano soft tail .I rode it recently and despite nearly 4” of front suspension and a softtail rear end with 2” of travel I came back feeling hammered.On the new bike I come back feeling fresh,and not in the slightest bruised so I dont use...

    Hi M-power,I have this,it’s a Syntace mtb stem,110 mm reach ,only 1cm rise ,1 1/8” steerer, but this was a very expensive piece of kit when I bought it.

    Anyone else gone to the dark side? Confession: I’ve just bought a 29er..

    SRAM compatible 8 speed shifter help.

    I totally understand, i went through a similar dilemma and it got to a point where it just wasn't worth the time and energy that was required to source old stuff which was invariably half worn out. All the bike shops sell 9 speed and will for a long time to come, I would bite the bullet and...

    SRAM compatible 8 speed shifter help.

    Hi greybeard,I have tried most of the sram shifters over the last few decades.If I were you I would upgrade to 9 speed,the X5 through X9 are pretty bombproof,they seem to wear less than shimano over the years in that they do not develop the same amount of “slop” I do like xtr kit but I prefer...
