Looking to convert a 15x100 wheelset to 15x110mm, nothing fancy. But all of the suppliers are saying it cannot be done, and that no-one ever does this with hubs (tell that to Hope, Mavic etc). Surely the DT350s are convertible from 15x100 to 15x110 with an accompanying 5mm brake spacer? Or have...

Item: Banshee 27.5" dropout kit Gen 2/3 (bolt up flip chip) Location: Melbourne With MTBDirect no longer listing them, and Missing Link not returning calls, I am searching further afield. Anyone have a dropout kit?

Following on from my fwits post, here is what a HG+ chain looks like on a brand new RF NW chainring. https://gfycat.com/hilariousdishonestgarpike Looks like the profile of the rollers is slightly different causing it to be slightly out of alignment with the teeth and therefore roll up on the...

Before i fire up the lathe and make one out of 4130 I thought i may as well just check if anyone knows of one. There are tons of the cheap alloy 15mm>9mm axles, and a few from 12-9mm, but I cant seem to find any 20-15mm except for one guy in the US who makes them (but isnt available currently...

Planning the new bike build, and Im planning on using the new XT 12sp drivetrain, with older symmetric cranks and a Raceface NW ring. But have now come to the brakes. I have some M785s spare currently, but wondering whether i should just splash the pot the extra $500 for the M8120 brakeset? Are...

Ok, my eldest seems to be going through bikes like they are going out of fashion. We are planning on getting him a new bike soon as the single speed he is using currently has him quite limited on both hills and descents (it was a free BYK so wasnt going to say no) He is quite tall and lanky and...

Searching around for a replacement for the old XT M772, non DynaSis rear mech https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-xt-m772-shadow-9-speed-rear-mech/rp-prod20700 Most of the shops want to sell me a Shadow+ mech, but that wont work with the road shifters on the Frankenbike. Anyone know...

Anyone want to recommend a good rolling, relatively puncture proof, 29er CX tyre? This Schwalbe CX Comp is no more. It has ceased to be. The CX Comp was good on gravel, but sucked on hard pack, and the rear tyre is showing signs of casing failure too. Considering a Ravager in 38C or a...

Thinking of downsizing to a 1 bike stable from my ageing collection of a 26” 160mm enduro, 29” steel hardtail and an old 26” DJ hardtail. I feel like frame designs and pedalling efficiency have come far enough that a 1 bike is workable, especially as I’m getting old and creaky. Thinking a...

Went to change discs on the MTB the other night (damn you rock), and the little crush washer pinged off into the unknown of the grate drain outside our garage. Now this normally wouldnt be a problem except that its a through axle nut, not the normal QR ones. Looks like this: Now the couple of...

Ok, tried asking this on some road forums and they were all NFI due to it not being Durace etc Have Shimano 105 5700 setup on CX bike, running 1x10. Dont want to shell out for 1x11 and hydros just yet. Want bigger rear cluster. Wondering if its possible to do the B-screw mod on a 105 mech...

Bit of a long shot, but ive been wanting a Kona Minute for a while now, and then they stopped making them. Anyone have one that they are looking to move on. Also considering other longtails too.

Ok, moving on from that balance bike thread i started a few years ago, looking to get a first pedal bike for the little man's third birthday. Pretty sure I have narrowed it down to either a Byk 250 or a Specialized Riprock. The Speccy looks like it has a few more bits that are compatible...

Went for a ride out at Lysty the other day, for the first time in ages, and when i was about to get a nice hot cup of joe at the end Trailmix was gone. What happened?

Finally succumbed to a non-26er and bought a Niner MCR and fork off here. Transferred most of the bits from my old XC bike over onto it, but picked up a cheap wheelset (Crossrides) and a set of Easton Haven carbon bars for it. Rides well, but feels bloody weird currently, but not sure...
