Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

does anyone have a seal press tool for 32mm stanchion seals that I can borrow?

Anyone fitted a slackset to increase angle and length...?

Do you actually need one? I've got one for my Z1 but just ended up setting the wiper seals by hand.

same! I could pop them with some sram butter around them. All done now.

I'm after a 10sp disc 29er rear wheel if anyone selling thanks

🤞 they don't pop out.

Is it a SRAM fork?

rockshox yeah

Do you service the lowers with 0w30 oil?

Wow, the state of emojis on lfgss

Any recommendations for a decent set of xc wheels that aren’t ludicrously expensive. 29er boost fitment. Hunt the best bet?

.

alloy rims?

Hunt are OK. Something custom on Hope for more reliability?

Yeh just something a bit nicer than the plonk that comes on a €1800 bike. Hope would be nice but a bit less clear on availability than hunt.

Pro4 Boost hubs seem to be in stock online? Stans Crest rims too though I'm sure Arkane or someone could recommend something as light

yep

you might benefit from lighter oil, it was night and day when I used 20w in mine. I've got a Z1 now, was less noticeable when using lighter oil.

@Dammit

It made a big differnece in my Pikes. I got the one TFTuned recommend for UK.

Tomorrow I am off to help with the Dean Trail Volunteers I hope to join in with them once or twice a month helping maintain/build the trails. I want to meet like minded people, learn more about the trails and contribute a little bit. This has also been spurred on by reading so many people on the Facebook FOD MTB group either complaining about the state of the trails or asking how to avoid the parking charges (which are how the trails are paid for). Given it is only £40 for a years parking/trail access it bothers me a little that so many people are unwilling to pay.

Is there anything obviously wrong with the Giant Fathom for use on light gravél?

I might swap the forks out for something 120mm. It'll steepen the angles, which should be fine (?), but will the BB drop be so drastic that I plow into every leaf?

but would it void warranty?

BB drop

It's only 60mm drop. I have 86mm on my Bird and it's fine.
