The position is roughly the same, but my thinking is even if it was somewhat out that would just make for poor shifting instead of absolutely nothing? unfortunately where I am, there is no bike shops and so on

It’s absolutely rock solid, won’t move a millimetre. Even if I downshift which should in that case should leave some slack

Evening I’m having some trouble with my sram rival shifters. I fitted a new integrated barstem on my road bike the other day and ever since then I am unable to upshift on the rd or downshift on the fd (in other words only the small inner shifter paddle/lever works) I’m assuming the issue is caused by my fiddling around with the shifters between handlebars. It must be something I did since they were working before I fitted the new handlebars. I have very little knowledge about roadie stuff and can’t fathom why this could be happening, any advice would be greatly appreciate

That I understand but I see some others are running tubeless on the kids bikes

Surely you could run much lower pressure for kids that size? On my xc bikes I run 0.8-1.2 bar, if I’m planning to ride more on tar then I’ll run 1.5 bar

They are all nice bikes. I really wanted a spez enduro but then I ended up on this path. The warranty from trek and the weight benefit of being full carbon are definitely the main attractions. The uniqueness of pyga and the fact that’s it’s local is awesome. I haven’t properly back to back tested them yet but they both were nice so far

Not sure what you’re asking, are you familiar with claiming VAT back on items though a company or are you just asking bike related?

Yep

Agreed but the issue is if you break it, you may break yourself at the same time.

Just finished building this up, second hand frame, cranks and the remainder of the XT groupset I had lying around. Brand new fox factory 38, XT brakes on deore 4 pot calipers, MD 35 wheels. The one up 210mm dropper and the bars came with the frame. I do have an XT cassette but unfortunately was unable to get a microcline freehub for these hubs. I do have some new tyres I will slap on shortly.

Finally got the pyga all together, my dad claims he’s not happy with the slash so it seems I may take it over and sell the slackline.

Trek wolvespruit have a large carbon XT slash still

Would that be the alloy or the carbon one that is breaking? I’m going to test back to back a bit, there is one more large carbon XT version identical to what we bought this morning. So if I feel the trek rides far superior then I’ll maybe go get that

I highly recommend taking a look at treks sale. Most xc bikes are sold out but a lot of longer travel bikes are still there for half price, some less and some more. There is no way you can get such well specced bikes for these prices.
