cable liners?

This works well until it doesn’t, then it tends to keep moisture in :-)

External routing, lube and regular cable changes is pretty easy to live with, cheap and feels nice.

cheers, will see what @edscoble says.

Any idea what the maximum tire+guard combo on the 920 was?

@Georgel that's helpful ta, bodes well for huge 650b and guards.

@PhilDAS - surely 'just buy a lithium' now?

Can’t say, haven’t thrashed one around the new forest

When you ride, dont you want to touch the ground like everyone else!

Filled the tyres with helium, try it!

Cake carrying functional today.

Colossal. I had 2.4" on it in 650b and to spare. With guards it had 2.1" in 622.

What fenders mudguards are you planning to use over 60mm tyres? Honjo x simworks are the largest I know of and even those are only 65mm.

Edit: when did I start saying 'fenders'. Fucking Americanization [irony]

Blame Canada.

Reader's. Current go slow around town rambler.

Doing it right. Well done.

Bet you don’t go that slow on that beast!

Lithiums are wicked. My mate had one and I thought it was a killer bike, especially for the price!

You don’t have build some naughty bikes.

great - think this is all i needed to hear.

Looks like you didn't buy that cheap one?

sweet flaps

Lithium looks good. But why put a high powered dynamo light on the front of the bike but nothing on the back?

Thats a bloody bargain with the SP hub and Son light

put a lowball bid in - the shitty paint and logistics of getting it to glasgow sort of put me off. It didn't sell!

was wondering about this - coudl i still rig up a rear dynamo light using the same hub/front light combo?

I should have some faith in Pinnacle - the designer clearly knows their stuff.

Well yes, the designer did the Genesis Croix de Fer, which is arguably a fantastic bike, the Pinnacle Arkose felt like a big step ahead of the Croix de Fer, with a slightly nimbler feel, massive clearance, reasonable weight, decent contact point etc.

TL:DR - Get an Arkose.
