Hey guys, wondering if a) anyone is running the WTB 650b+ tyre Trailblzer? b) if so, would you be kind enough to measure the outer diameter (hint: stand wheel next to a suitably tall table leg, make a mark using the projection of a horizontal ruler over the top tread knob and measure)...

Buller this sat! @ Samlu, we'll be in Buller on Saturday for the BRI's Epicentre opening this weekend with a Medium 301 Mk11 and also a Large 301, happy to catch up and go for a ride, I'll PM you... Also happy to come to Melrose with a medium and / or large 301 if you were to make the...

Item: soft spring to suit Totem Location: SA preferred, but anywhere ok Item Condition: good Extra Info: Could swap for Medium spring Cheers guys

Liteville 301 unduer full compression - clearance rocker arm / rear wheel to saddle Hi KINSERK, I've had the time to test this for you today and hope below photos answer your question. I guess most importantly, how low do you like to have your seat? Following photo shows the 301...

Carbon wrapping the spoke crossings increases the stiffness of the wheels. A fine touch that Tune offer on their in-house built wheels.

Hey Chopsticks, contrary to many other designs (and I still don't understand these...) the clamping slits are facing the front where dirt isn't really an issue ;-). The cables are Nokon cables. They come in a range of colours so great for setting small colour highlights. My choice was...

650B conversion Alright, the 301 has now been converted to 650b. New wheels - Tune KingMK/Kong X-12 with 650b 32spoke FlowEX: 1712g Old wheels - Tune KingMk/Kong X-12 Twenty4 26” 24 spoke wheels: 1540g. ---> + 172g for the bigger wheels (without tyres). Obviously I wanted to keep big...

Yes, can do, but it is frame size dependant. Liteville are taking a completely new approach to whole bike scaling with their "Scaled Sizing" concept. Surely somewhat fueled by the outstanding test results from the above two tests: For full frame size and wheel compatability: Or...

Dilema: which wheel size to go for?! Liteville has now already been on top in two Enduro tests using 650b up front and 26" on the rear. For those interested, I thought I'd post them here. Enduro test #1: MountainBike 11/2012 - Liteville MK10 F650b/R26" Other contenders: - Cannondale...

The SCS may be expensive, but how often do you hear that someone has gone 1x just because of the headaches so often associated with regular FD/crank setups? With this FD/crank 2x ring drivetrain system with SCS you simply never drop the chain... and have the bonus of a QUIETE DRIVETRAIN without...

Hi, the SCS guide is great. It just wasn't neccesary with the Carbocage guide used as it has a lower roller. However, as there seems to be more drivetrain noise generated with the alloy CNC roller of the CARBOCAGE guide, I now run the rear mech with the clutch on, whereas with just the...

Build costing I don't mind you asking ;-) I'll run through the costing of the bike... Frame: $2590 headset, seatpost clamp $145.- Rockguard $49.90 SCS chainguide $159 Grinder rockring $98 dropper post shim $39.90 cranks $799 two colour upcharge $10.- BB $125 wheels $1299 Brakes...

Hi vtviz, as crank1979 has pointed out, no, this is not the case. The SCS chainguide does a fantastic job of keepting the drivetrain very quite, very much like the clutch mechanism does on bikes that don't have a SCS chainguide. It is tight with the space for the gear cable between switch and...

Hey Crank, nice frame! Tune post, clamp and stem in silver could all look really nice on this bike, all cnc... ;-)

650b conversion No Mitchy, no rotors removed ;-) I know it looks like it, thought so too... ;-) What is next 650b wheels? Will keep you posted.
