Anyone know where to purchase the aerospoke front wheel? 🤔 I remember rook cycle use too but haven't for a while.

Lol 26ers are so perfect to throw around. And I would agree... They are hibernating in old age homes hehe. Glad to read there still some 26ers alive and kicking... With beast upgrades

I suppose I should ask myself is trying to save my 1st mtb worth stacks of money or should I just get a 29er? I love the control I have with a 26er feels like I can jump and turn in an instance. I've even consider getting a dual sus 26er because... It's a 26er lol

I'm trying to resurrect my old Silverback. And definitely need a new wheelset. Priced some tubeless tyres and cheapest are 599 🫣

I've been scanning the hub for a set of 26er wheelsets but haven't seen any.

Good morning guys, Are 26ers dead? Or are parts just obsolete?

So I should probably get a 10spd rear wheel and 10 shifter ... then contact nils for the conversion. I'd attempt this myself but my previous try was unsuccessfully lol ???? thanks for the input gents. Will post before and after pics and also weight ????

Good evening guys. My road bike has had its time... the shifting has become a pain and even after my recent service at a popular bike store the shift is sticky and noisy. I have a rc1000 raliegh, changed the to flat bars and managed to source 3x8 mtb shifters. Question now is can I upgrade the back gears to a 10 speed? And have a single chainring up front ? Also is there anyone in CT doing these conversions? The bike is for commuting around the area and to work. I just thought that if thevshifting isn't work well I could shed some extra kilos and have a slightly faster ... meant light bike lol ????

This video definitely helped me! Almost brought to tears then stumbled upon this.

Hi Guys, So i recently bought a dropper but not having clearly read the AD i purchased it too big for my current seat-post. Does any one have experience using a seat-post shim? my current diameter is 27.2mm and the dropper is 31.6mm.... can a seat-post shim help in this regard ?

I read up alot on the minion dhf and many say they the ultimate front tyre ? Some pros run them. Can you confirm its that good ? After today's trail Im convinced it's my tyres as I kept slipping around corners even with lower tyre pressure.

Are you referring to these ? http://app-1805.appdeep.link/products/203915001865

So I double checked the tyres... They are crossmark maxxis. They aren't tubeless not sure if tubeless assists with grip ? What is the widest I could go a standard rim ? 2.3? Im hitting magik forest tomorrow will try and lower the tyre pressure a bit and see what happens. Last week terrain was plenty of tree roots, single track and some rocky climbs. Bike handled we'll just when cornering I was very confident ...

Good evening guys. So the past weekend I did my first trail and Shu what an experience. I struggled with grip.. I have a very standard GT timberland with 2.1 tyres front and rear. My riding buddy who is more professional than me suggested we let some air out to make the tyre grip a bit better ? We did but I still struggled. I eventually slid while taking a turn ... Suppose the grip just wasn't there. So the question is was my lack of experience the reason I struggled or my tyre width ?

Wow good read! Seems like Leatt is rated fairly good.

Before getting this cheapie* i was unfortunate to test drive a carbon HT and A dual susp specialize, obviously complete different to each other, each with their own strengths. All i really wanted for this bike was a new shock ( donation from a friend hopefully LOL ) and tyres... tubeless as the current ones have sludge. and before my upgrade one day to make it a 1 x conversion.

@seven , i have the same concern with the one size fits all helmets. My understanding is that after a while the helmet will mold to your head size for a snug fit? Don't know how true that is ?

I share the same thought process, i wanna enjoy this bike until i get a new one (saving towards a dual suspension), i wanna learn how to fix and change things on this 'test bike' and i know i'll have to spend but it all for learning and fun i suppose.

Ended up doing the EFT as well, purchase successful.

i'm looking to get this helmet.. https://www.pinned.co.za/leatt-dbx-2.0-helmet-special.html it doesn't mention MIPS in the description. Any hubster reviews on this model?

The plan was to build the HT into something capable of most routes in CAPE TOWN, and in the meantime save for a dual suspension bike, i completed my first MTB experience on Saturday. The bike well but the shock would sometimes bottom out... i guess if i could get a cheap/second 100/120mm shock that would help a lot. And i'm definitely going to change the bottom bracket to something more modern... the sealed cartridge is a bit outdated

I decided against ordering the helmet online because of what you said. Probably best i go in and store and test fit the brand i'm interested in.

Thanks meezo. Just added helmet air flex and gloves to my pinned cart but when paying it fails. They are legit hey ? Shows money left my account but the transaction apparently unsuccessful? I'll follow up with fast pay in the morning.

Any specific one I should look for ?

Thanks. Im just bit cautious with this new hobby I've taken up. Im also in the market for knee pads. Anyone know of a good pair under 1k ?
