LBS did chat with Brad but no stock. Do you have some down in the Cape or know a shop that has stock? Tubeless on these small tyres have been an ongoing issue. We used the "Sludge" sealant (yellow bottle with the rhino image) and never got stuck on the trails. Apparently there are now sealants geared towards use inside tubes, that are supposedly better than Sludge. Get a set of tubes with removable cores and you are sorted. Barry 1

I did a Tubeless conversion with the Std Crown Gem tyres and it is holding. Small child will probably not ride it hard enough so it should last. DJuice and Titan Racing Bikes 2

I have converted to Tubeless last week and all seems fine and solid. Std tyres and Stans sealed up first time no problem. Dont think the tyre will pop off with the weight or recreational rides the child will do. Titan Racing Bikes and ChrisF 1 1

Stevie G Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Hi Guys I'm in the market for a MTB and saw this ad for a 2023 Titan racing dash drone. Let me know what you guys think about it. I do read that some say the SX range is not good and prone to breaking. By the pic the chain does seem to have been worked on. Do you guys think for the price is worth it and value for money.

HdB Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Looks like they put a flat-top chain link in the wrong way around...

It is scary JUST how low pressure they need !!! Maritz was on his 24-9er coming down a bumpy single track ... I was shocked to see how the bike was jumping around. We stopped and I lowered the pressure, twice, then the bike settled down and you could see just how much easier the bike was to handle on the single track. Back at home I checked, something like 1,1 bar pressure. Wonder if a youngster on a 20" even need 1 bar pressure .... Just ride behind them on a corrugated section, and see how the bike behaves.

Titan Racing Dash Drone | Hardtail Mountain Bikes | Bike Hub This is a one year old bike, thus 4 years left on the TITAN warrantee ..... IF the original owner did the proper registration !!! The owner should be able to provide you with the email and warrantee details, without which there is NO warrantee for the next owner !! Speak to the seller. If there are any issues, reach out to @Titan Racing Bikes and find out if there is anything that can be done. Titan Racing Bikes 1

I am running around 2bar at the moment will take it down in a few days when i am happy the tubeless is seated/set and sealed and Stans has done it's job. @DJuice what tyres do you run? The tyres on this Titan are chunky 20x2.6. Titan Racing Bikes, ChrisF and DJuice 3

Scott roy Posted December 2 Posted December 2 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 ChrisF and LukeLan 2
