Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

These are the carbon wheels from the Scalpel, with the rear hub replaced as it was non-boost, and a pair of the stickers that came with my SCR-30’s because they looked like they’d match the paint on the 529.

The original pair of TyreWiz are with Bike-Discount De at the moment, or possibly with SRAM.

Magura Storm CL rotors are beefy AF I have to say.

And, on a different note- anyone want a non-boost, 32h, CL and XD driver 240S hub?

Ha! I done the same with the reserve stickers and put them on the wheels of my dh bike to look more baller...

Might do. I'd need to convert the freehub to 11 speed Shimano, but I could be interested to go with the SON front hub from amey. Price?

Whatever you think is reasonable.

I might have an 11 speed Shimano free hub and end-caps, also. I'll have a look.

DT Swiss spare parts- two 15mm axles, two 10mm, one 12mm, two CL to IS disc adapters, a free hub (not sure how to tell what speed it is), two 15mm end caps and three QR.

I’m all good - starting to build up quite the DT Swiss spare let’s bin myself if I’m honest - random end caps, multiple freehubs, few different sets of pawls and springs, and, most importantly, special grease

PM'd.

I went to Peaslake today with the 529, I worked out that I should have out the DHR II wheels on around 0.2 seconds after I rode out of the carpark. However, the NN/HD hung on fairly well and I had fun, mention of the day has to go to the MT500 onesie which is a simply phenomenal bit of kit for riding in wet conditions - I'm seriously impressed with it.

I think I'm going to clean the bike down before it goes on the roof in future, which means taking (quite a lot of) water with me, but it'll be worth it as it'll mean that I don't cover myself in mud putting the bike on the rack, and it should be clean to use again the next time - as it stands I got home after dark and was insufficiently motivated to get the pressure washer out.

How did you find the pedals?

Hah, well - if I tell you that I bought them for the YT...

This mornings effort to contact YT

I gave up at that point.

They're still upset with you for not getting a Jeffsy

Seems that they're upset with a lot of people for that.

If I could get my money back, I absolutely would.

Raised a dispute via MaterCard, money should be back in my account today or tomorrow.

Which colour?

RAW. 100%.
