@rangersac I'll take the intense derailleur hanger it's available, looks like it will fit the spider I've got for the Hallion. If the cassette is available and could be thrown into a prepaid post bag/ box with the hanger I'd take that too please.

The Hallion and his mate have decided MTBs are too much hard work and have both bought dirt bikes so my life is now borrowing or hiring trailers and ferrying them to where they can ride without breaking the law or pissing too many people off. We went to my in-laws property today so I took the...

MMkayyyyyy thanks for the feedaback should have searched better, time to rethink the plan on the AR25... Any other COLC (budget) friendly suggestions 32H 25-30mm width? use case is non @ozzybmx's once were bike smashers, the Hallion has his spitty for that and wifey will probably never ride it...

Does anyone have anything bad to say about Race face AR offset rims? I'm in the market for a new rim to replace a Stans crest mk3 that's splitting at the spoke holes (previous owner I've never ridden it). The bike is a 29xc hardtail that is not going to see heavy off road use (it will be my...

Oh Fark glad I only had that for a few years ... Best not start looking for crash videos of old Kombis, my other old favourite drive :rolleyes:

+1 on the flexiness of commodes, I had a VH as my first car. It was used to tow the family's boat quite a lot. When the boat was on the towbar and you opened the boot it wouldn't close again. The boat was a 5.4m fibreglass runabouty thing with a stern drive and only a single axle trailer which...

That must be the OG hard core hardtail especially if you built it yourself, please start a thread or at least post more in the vintage thread on it.

Yes Sacrilege even if its just a Gaint

It's only 140mm but the Hallion is growing up and may be outgrowing this soon. Spitfire V2 (I think) in small, aluminium built like a tank non boost dropouts @mooreys daughter used it to great effect and he had ragrets when he sold it even tho his kids had grown out of it and I've got a daughter...

My turd says he's buying it himself, I spent enough on bits to build him a road bike that's still not finished because he can't be bothered to detach from whatever device he's glued to and come out to the shed to look and learn to do a few things for himself.

That sounds like a good endorsement for the type of riding I can see her getting into, hopefully your lad will come back around to it you could always get him some shin / kneepads :) Unfortunately 26 is the smallest :(

No biking today but yesterday I fitted the new drivetrain Miss 9's Roxter, excuse the silver coloured chain it was the cheapest one on chain reaction I could find when I bought the Acolyte mini group. Thanks for the tyre suggestions above, I was looking at Crown Vee 24 x 2.6 as they would be the...

Dagnammit pipped at the post, at least you'll use them :D

Ta all for the comments. I wasn't expecting new for that price, I just have no idea judging value on used PC's as the numbers don't mean a huge amount to me when he shows me an ad for a gaming pc for sale on marketplace or gumtree. I'll suggest he keeps saving his pennies / collecting scrap...

I don't think America can ever be fixed...
