Looks shit

Then we have hub gear product lifespan, they are not all rated for heavy abuse.

I reckon we put 8000+ miles through a SRAM Nexus, on a bike weighing an average of 150kg, through 5 winters. We never serviced it and all that was ever changed was the rear axle when the threads stripped.

Also, [fat] bikes look best without derailleurs and cassettes cluttering them up.

Indeed. Alfine 8 was an mtb group.

Took a while for Shimano to fully approve it for off road use though didn't it? I remember people being really cautions about using them on mtbs

Hardline is coming this weekend....

Anyone got a 135mm hub with a fixed cog / lockring mount going spare?

The new trail at Swinley looks good

Dan broke his scapula in three places riding that and I saw a vid of another pro coming up short on one of the huge jumps yesterday, looked very nasty. Hardline indeed.

Anything with Red Bull involved is guaranteed to be really shit.

Red 22 has moved on a bit since the last time I rode it

Hardline practice runs for all!

Some serious casing going on there.

To be fair, that didn't look shit! It scared the fuck out of me watching it!

^ yeah, this. New pants time

Pretty sure it scared the shit out of Gee Atherton!

Ruaridh Cunningham had the win...

Can I use Rotor 3D+ road crank with BSA30 BB on an MTB frame? Will be clubbed with Raceface narrow wide chainring, Sram X3 RD, Sram 8 speed cassette and chain.

Depends if arms / spider clear the frame

Is that the only thing I should be worried about? I recking they would 165mm arms 130bcd 38t ring. 30mm axle obv

Could always dent the chainstay if they don't

Dunno. If they fit, and they don't foul the frame, and the chainline is workable, what else is there to worry about?

ha! good point .. will take it to shop and see .. any way of demo-ing and knowing it without BB?

Assemble cranks in the BB shell without BB and see if they foul when they're roughly in the middle?
