patches Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Only problem is if you look at your diagram, the bike would be off centre - sometimes the studs are annoyingly in the wrong place - strong magnet top tip - what stud finder do you use? - my Bosch one is wildly inaccurate to the point where I’m now a dry wall repair expert and groan everytime I’m asked to hang somethingI use a super cheap and simple one called a stud-buddy. It's basically just a strong magnet which I use to find the drywall screws beneath the tape and mud. And almost all the time, the screws are centre-ish on the stud. Almost.

Jehosefat Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Yesterday was new bike day for my girlfriend. Her first MTB. Put some proper tubeless tyres on and replaced the brakes with a set of XT M8000s that I had lying around. First ride tomorrow morning Thanks to the guys at Mellow Velo for the great service and prompt response to all my queries.

boxerulez Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Picked up a set of BR-MT501 brakes from LBS today, get home, start with front, fitted, blead, piele. Remove internally routed rear brakes front to back, fit new caliper and hoses, take lever out the box, ... low and behold the rear box has a left hand mt401 3 finger lever and the front had a mt501 1 finger lever.

Stretched@Birth Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 I went shopping at Rapide for some bits and pieces for a build for my 13 year old. His brother has outgrown his 24”, so needs to move up to the 26”, therefore, big brother goes to a big wheel. Build is nearly done! Steven Knoetze (sk27), Wannabe, ChrisF and 4 others 7
