Oh yeah forgot about that one....way before 2013 for rear hubs kiddo. Road explains why the front is news to me.
I often wonder if I could actually ride a 15mm axle fork with no worries...then I see how close the brake rotors sit to the legs and remember the flex I've felt in frames and forks over the years. I'm hoping, beyond reason perhaps, to see a good 20x110 resurgence!Oh yeah forgot about that one.
It's sad, road did 12mm because they said 15mm is for hardcore mtbs. And mtbs at the time said, no way 20mm is for hardcore downhill. And now mtb says, nah 20mm works only if we boost it. I hate the bicycle industry.
Boost and ultraboost. lol.I often wonder if I could actually ride a 15mm axle fork with no worries...then I see how close the brake rotors sit to the legs and remember the flex I've felt in frames and forks over the years. I'm hoping, beyond reason perhaps, to see a good 20x110 resurgence!
You need my special thru axle bolt and nut combo. Tightened to 60Nm. It looks like a reused Subaru headbolt, but I swear it really isn't.I often wonder if I could actually ride a 15mm axle fork with no worries...then I see how close the brake rotors sit to the legs and remember the flex I've felt in frames and forks over the years.

Keep talking...You need my special thru axle bolt and nut combo. Tightened to 60Nm. It looks like a reused Subaru headbolt, but I swear it really isn't.
You'll need my special hub with angular roller bearings too, 60Nm would crush radial bearings in no time.Keep talking...
I don't think a skirt will be necessary, but definitely Lycra as the outer layer.OK, stupid question .
Have a "friend" looking at getting a bike, I cannot convince him to buy a real man's bike (DH , 26 inch) so he is looking at getting a 29r.
Question is, if I test ride the 29r for him will that make me a lesser man, like will I need to wear a skirt forever more ?
Or more to the point, should I even have someone for a friend that rides a 29r?
Thanks for any help guys
Wear a kilt but no pants (as per the rules). That way if you shit on the saddle it becomes SEP.OK, stupid question .

Bars are straight. It's the commuter so probably got around 50psi in the Kojaks, but have always run them that high without an issue. Will try dropping some air out to see if that makes a difference.Are your bars straight? Centred? Aligned?
Maybe you're running a really high psi and there is substantial feed back from the ground.
Just never known anyone that rides that size, all the awesome people I know ride 26Friends that ride 29ers can be awesome...just ask JT.
Sort of like swinging both ways, well I guess that's worked in other parts of my lifeWhats even worse is you might like it!
