Are the bearings sealed or just have the cover?

Just measured mine, 5010 v2 is 2.5kg on the dot without shock.

Bargain! I paid twice that much for my rusty/wet/bent Onza a few weeks ago.

Thanks beeb, I have read about mixed success too.

Item: 27.5 boost wheelset Location: Jervis Bay or post. Price range/Willing to Pay: <600 Extra Info: Looking a trail set around 30mm id, sram cassette driver and hubs with decent poe. Prefer aluminium because of price.

So Santa came early this year. Due to a tip-off and an impulse buy I bought a 5010 frame (thanks @Alexxx) Will be slowly building it up from specials and second hand parts. Have some parts already but will be sure to be spamming up the WTB section. I have been riding enduro bikes and never owned...

Sure am!

Item: 200x57mm coil shock, preferably Cane Creek. Location: Jervis Bay Price range/Willing to Pay: Less than $300, depends on condition. Extra Info: Waiting for a sale to buy new but thought I would see what's out there first. Doesn't need a spring unless you happen to have a 600lbs...

Hey Alexxx, I snapped one of these up, there seems to be more available but if you missed out then let me know and I will pass it on to you for the same price. Cheers.

Found! Picked up an Onza on bookface. Hilarious when the kids forget there is no seat.

There are one or two thumb shifter options out there but are expensive. One I saw required a shifter on each hand https://cinq.de/en/shifting-technology/428/shift-r-tour-for-pinion. There is a couple of diy ones out there that look promising so eventually they will be available. The gearbox uses...

The Vuly one we had lasted 6 or 7 years until the springs started letting go. I was in a damp salty environment so I thought it lasted well. Make sure you pin it down as others said, and make sure it is big enough to handle adults, I think I used ours more than the kids did.

My heyfever appeared at the age of about 35. Spring was pretty miserable until I went back to work after about 7 years looking after the kids. Now being outside as a landscaper has taken the edge off it and is very manageable with nasal spray and a Fexo each day. Might have had something to do...

Tried to sign up as Ace Rimmer (Red Dwarf character) but had problems getting the account to work. Tried again with whatever came into my head. It worked or I contacted the mods or something so it stuck.

I like mine a lot. This set have been on the last three bikes I have owned. I liked the feel of them more than the old Deores I had (2016 I think). The one finger lever is great and you don't need to crush your other fingers to stop. They are much more on/off than Sram Guides but I don't feel...
