What is the old price? Do you by any chance know what sizes are available?

This ^^^ Also have a 160/170 Enduro bike which I have dropped to 140/150, and I am actually having more fun on it now, even down the DH track in Harties, were I was actually faster now with less travel... Travel is not the be all and end all of what bikes are capable of, if the pricing is right on these Fuel EXe, I will be very seriously considering getting one, it seems to be exactly what I want

That is above my knowledge levels 🤣🤣 so I wont be uploading any files, sorry

How do you share those files? I CLcan send mine from the Enduro last month

I have put different valves in, same problem

The core is not what is getting blocked though, the actual valve body is getting blocked, I can remove the valve core and no air comes out

Taking the tyre off that often sounds like it would be a real pain in the backside, I put new valves in, and they got blocked after 1 ride....

You dont say what pedals you have, but flat pedals differ greatly as to how much grip they offer, and then also the shoes you have will have an effect on how much grip you have, and then on top of that, shoe pedal combo's can also play a role, some pedals just work better with certain shoes, it all makes a difference. Then you add body position, foot position on the pedal, it all makes a difference.... Try moving your foot to different positions on the pedal, feel what works best for you, most people find it best to get the middle of the pedal near the middle of their foot, I like having the middle of the pedal near the middle of the ball of my foot, it helps me drop my heels more and put more weight into the pedals, but that is just me. Finding the best pedal shoe combo is probably the easiest way to get more grip, but also the most expensive

Strangely enough, it has also only been my rear wheel 🤣 pumping up the tyre isnt really the problem, but I cant check pressures as it doesn't let out any air, I pushed through an old piece of cable inner and it cleaned it out enough to pump up and check the pressure, but the following morning it is blocked up solid again 🙈

Started using Enduro Seal recently, but found it keeps blocking up my valves, has anyone else had the same issue? Previously I was usibg Stan's and never had any problems, but the Enduro Seal has been causinge real head aches with blocking up my valves

We did the MTO Enduro last month, those trails are awesome, I got lost on my sighting ride and went down some trails that were not part of the enduro, and I am very glad that it happened because I got to see some of the other trails we wouldnt have done, very fast, very flowy, just plain awesome riding, just take your climbing legs with you.

My pedals are set as loose as they can be, so it isn't that, I really like the clip pedals, but in some situations, especially when riding something blind, flat pedals just make me feel more comfortable

I am TERRIFIED of doing drops and techy sections being clipped in, my scariest moments on clips have been doing drops and slow techy sections

And a megneg air can

I would also like to know, I have a wheel on smart trainer, and it works very nicely, I dont use it much because I have gotten very lazyvand dont want to wake up at 4am to do a session, but when I do use it, it works very well, and with the right trainer tyre on it is very quiet and makes no funny dust either

Are those rims beingbused as book ends?

I have bought 3 times fairly recently from CRC, the service has been awesome, have not ordered clothing, but bike parts, ordered Tuesday, by Friday had it in my hands, ordered Saturday, by Wednesday was in my hands, and that was with the free shipping method, I have never payed extra for faster shipping, but never waited more than 7 days for my parts

I think I may have one, will have a look for you

This 603 loctite @droo? It is the devils stuff, we use it all the time 🤣🤣

Would be a roadie for now, the MTB ones I have seen are way to expensive to experiment with

Thanks, can you tell me how tall your wife is? My wife is 148cm, so a real pipsqueak Having looked at the tandems I see now they come in L front S rear, and looking at them it seems there is quite a bit of room for "adjustment" as far as the sizing goes for the stoker, so I guess I will now have to cobvince her that it is a good idea.....

Buy another bike, it is always the correct answer....

How does tandem bike sizing work? Is each position a different size? I would like to try one to see if my wife would enjoy it, she cant ride a bike on her own, but likes the idea of riding, so a tandem would allow us to ride together, I ride Large MTB, but she would need an XS or at the most maybe a S frame, do you get tandems with those sizes? Are they difficult to find if you do actually get them?

Thats great, but just check for burrs, it is a very common thing on the GX cassettes, of you are happy to live with the ticking then fine, but it literally takes 5 minutes to check if they have burrs.....
