    I don't see anything about charging points or stations so definitely pack a powerbank. At Sani there are charging stations but if you have a good quality high mAh powerbank, you will be fine - for cellphone and gps that is...

    So... doing my first B&B this year... In for the Great Trek. Done a few Sani's before and decided to go for something else. Really looking forward to it and a little worried following the weekend's riding and coming to the realisation of how under-prepared I am. My partner is in relatively good shape so I'll be hanging on his wheel for most of the ride. Any top tips / hints and advice for a B&B virgin? Any particularly good sections (read: downhills)?

    Updated the Anthem with some new suspension bits. Kashima love for the rear and 34 Fox Performance Elite up front (120mm). In the words of Zohan: "silky smooth" Also had to get the frontwheel rebuilt for boost - did this with a Rapide Ultralight Pro Boost hub.The boys at Sprocket & Jack did an excellent job with the wheel build! Next is covering that silver crank and spider with black Rust-Oleum Flexidip.

    Friend of mine just had one fitted two weeks ago to her '16 Enduro. Replaced RS Pike to match the Ohlins shock that was already on the bike. Waited quite some time to get it to SA, and now this... Very bummed about it.

    Fairly normal as far as I know. Just some assembly grease popping out. If there was a problem you would see a lot more coming out. You should see little bit of greasy/oily stuff after each ride - just wipe it clean. I'm sure some suspension gurus will confirm shortly...

    I've been told that friars balsam will sort out that thin ballsack skin of yours.

    the "soft" setting

    Ha! That's funny. A little sad actually, but still funny. King had a reasonably good TdF as well... think we're going to see some good things from him for DDD (if he can stick around). Hoping Maincheese finds his groove soon!

    Nice one Uni, and here a lesson to all: NEVER overlook the fine-print...

    Howzit and welcome to bikehub! So from your experience, which seems vast, which is better - petrol or electric? Do you have some pictures of your builds?

    ...or a 5mm spacer on the rotor (I think). Will shop around on the internet to see what is available, else it's new hub and wheel build time.

    Thanks Captain. Ja, I saw some of those kits on ebay, but like you say; not ideal. The spacers on the MRP website look to be for specific hubs (DT, Hope, Stans etc. but no AC on there). Googling doesn't point me to anything for AC specific converting 100 to 110. I am wondering if this will work? https://amclassic.com/index.php/hub-parts/disc-130-hub-front-axle-kits-boost-15x110mm-thru-axle.html

    So my Google skills seems to be failing me and only able to get to a bike shop over the weekend... hoping for some solid BikeHub advice till then. Does anybody know of a way to fit standard AC Wide Lightning wheels (15x100) to a boost (15x110) fork? Can you convert the existing hub in some way or are there adapters available AND does anyone have experience with this / tried it?

    That bike definitely needs one of these
  15. worriesnot
    But that's what I said
  16. worriesnot
    I blame Specialized
  17. worriesnot

  18. worriesnot
    Ja that makes sense. Thanks!

    Anybody know what the "C" is?

    Last year I chose with my head and ended the tour with only 5 riders... Also chopped and changed ad nauseam up until the start. This year I'm playing with my heart and picks took all of 5 minutes. Not really expecting a different result in terms of overall standings - let the games begin! Roll on 11h00...

    Jip Same as walking into a room, asking for Joe Masepus and walking away. Never to return.
