  1. My new ride in the UK. Nerve AL 8.9
  2. I had a LBS shop do it for me as I'm a bit ham fisted with tech stuff. I can hear that there is sealant in the tyre but I'm not sure the exact amount sadly. if the problem doesn't get much better after a few rides ill get them to put a bit more in.
  3. Thanks for the replies guys. I have noticed that the problem is not as drastic after I have been for a ride. Pumped them to 2.5 bar at 8.30am today and they still seem to be fine. The conversion was only done last week and iv only ridden twice since so ill just monitor it over the next few rides.
  4. I recently had a tubeless conversion done on my new bike that came with the following wheel set. DT Swiss X1700 rims Continental Mountain King front tyre. Continental Xking rear tyre. The front tyre goes from nearly 3 bar to flat in about 3 hours. The rear is a bit better but is flat in about 12-16 hours. I placed both tyres in a shallow bath and cannot see any leakage coming from the valve an and rim area. However, I do notice small bubbles developing all over the side walls of the tyre when its under water which indicates to me that it leaking out slowly out the side walls. My question is, has anyone else experienced such a drastic loss in pressure from these tyres, and is there anything else I should be checking for ?. If it is leaking out the sidewall, how do you resolve the issue ?. Iv had tubeless done on my previous bike that had Maxxis Crossmarks on, and those tyres could go weeks without loosing any pressure. Cheers
  5. Does anyone know where this was shot ?
  6. Which area are you in ?, maybe they are still on their way to my office....hopefully.
  7. Guess the race pack is not being delivered if it hasnt arrived yet, bummer
  8. Bought a 500 in August, one of the best pieces of kit to play with and the battery lasts a really long time. I charge it once every 3 rides or so. The Garmin mapping and analysis software is also really easy to use.
  9. I had an awsm ride. hardly had to wait at all other than at the RedBull section for a few minutes. Finished in Sub 3 for the 52km. I can see how the back groups got held up, lots of potential bottleneck locations. Some more lighting the tunnels would of made it even better, but it was still an awsm event.
  10. 6.30 in G batch for me, looks like its going to be a long day with some of those other start times. Really looking forward to it.
  11. Hi Guys. This looks like an appropriate thread for my following question. Im moving the UK at the beginning of next year and im looking to get a trail/enduro bike with 150 to 160mm of travel. Iv seen a few bikes on chain reaction cycles such as Nukeproof an Commencal that look like they are going for a reasonable price. I just wanted to get you guys that are in the know when it comes to enduro opion on the brands, and what i should be looking for. Im clueless in the area of MTB's I really like riding technical stuff and jumps but my current marathon racing bike doesnt like the big jumps to much. It looks like the enduro/trail scene is huge over there compared to marathon scene so im thinking of changing my riding a bit and moving over to the baggie short clan
  12. Doesnt look like action photo is an SA company.
  13. Does anyone where we can get the get or see the photos that were taking out on route ?
