This is such a cool event. Here are a few pics from last year. Will be back this year!

Thanks man. That build of yours is really awesome

A while ago I decided to give my Morewood a makeover. Over time, the white frame started to show a few stains and pick up some scratches so it was time for a facelift. At the same time I changed the drivetrain to 2x10 and upgraded another few bits. This is nothing as extravagant as the awesome build Patches did but I still think it looks cool. A big thanks to all the Hubbers that helped with advise, sourcing parts etc. Here is a before pic. Morewood stripped and redone the powder coating. I did a DIY on the fork. Tyrone made these awesome decals. The result.

Sorry to hear the sad news. Condolences to you and your family Anton.

Best of luck man

I have been lucky enough to source most of the parts I require (for a 2x10 conversion) with the help of some Hubbers and CWC / EasyBike. I really wanted to get a medium cage rear derailleur (simply for the additional ground clearance - I'm not to clued up on the mechanics of the different length of cages) but these seem to be in short supply from where I have looked locally and I settled for a long cage. Its what I currently using anyway.

Great, thank you

Morning Hubbers, I'm in the process of acquiring parts to replace the 3x9 Shimano LX drive train on my bike with 2x10. I have a few technical questions and was hoping to find some guidance here on what will work with what. Firstly, my bike has a threaded, external BB (RaceFace 73mm). Will a SLX M675 crank be compatible with this? I see these cranks ship new with the BB included and I just want to make sure the crank will fit my current BB (the SLX crank I found thats for sale excludes the BB). Secondly, I would like to install a SLX M675 rear derailleur (medium cage) with the M675 crank. Would I need a chain guide with this configuration? Thanks

Thanks Hairy I think I'll try this. As the fork is white, I guess I'll have to apply a few layers of spray paint over the filler. Do you know if I need to treat the fork's surface with anything first or should I just be able to respray after the surface is cleaned properly?

Hi hubbers, The crown on a 2nd hand Fox fork I purchased, was damaged due to bad cable routing. On a few places the powder coating has been rubbed away completely (there are even slight grooves in the metal) and I was thinking about trying to touch his up somehow. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Is it a case of stripping everything to bare metal and redo the powder coating or are there other tricks to covering the marks? Would appreciate your advise!
