To all you 29er's out there!

^^ No rush, they're only gathering dust at the moment.

It's these ones btw ( 2007 model )

Just let me know and I'll check the weight. I think they were about 530 grams without chainrings and bolts?

Edit - or BB

That sounds more like it.
My beltring weighs nothing, and I have a Hope ceramic BB thats none too porky. So could be a nice set-up.

I'll bash my arozines around for winter. But cheers for the heads up.

Right, honzo frame is ordered from LBS. Decided to go for the small, if it's to small, I will just cry.

Now just need to decide whether to keep the 12 x 142 dropouts and get normal hope hub and put some spacers on. Or swap them out for the SS option and get the SS hope hub. I know it's been discussed so much on here. Still undecided though.

Does fixed count?

Yes, I took my 29er for it's first spin fixed today, borrowed a cog from a friend and just took off the rear disc.

Beast. Is that the on one?

Yeah but because it's vertical dropouts and not quite a magic gear I had to run a bit of slack.

^ Good luck with that Indra :-/

I'm sure everything will be fine. Thankfully you're not accident prone.......

I should have a couple of new chainrings for my xtr M960 soon, from Matthias at Experimental Prototypes.....big ring in titanium, and 2 middle rings in aluminium...
He did me a deal on all three, as they were knocking about on his shelf somewhere, already made.
This will stop the chainsuck issue that I've had a few times, hopefully, and for cheaper than the original rings that are made from butter.
Can't wait!

Just threw some Schwalbe Big Apples on my 29er and it feels so much faster!

Anyone fancy a ride up Snowdon?

I read a nice piece about it on the Guardian website, now I fancy having a go. Two thoughts so far: either rent a van and drive down, or get the train to Bangor, ride 11 miles to the bottom, up-and-down, then back to the station.

Basically there's a voluntary ban on riding it in summer, and during peak times in winter, so it'd have to be very early in the morning, so there's probably an overnight stay involved - either in the back of the van or a bivvy bag. Anyone game?

I'll cross post in 29er/offroad threads...

^ I can highly recommend doing this.

I'd try to avoid this kind of weather though ;-)

Who's that man in the distance?

^ I can highly recommend doing this.

It's been on my to-do list for a while, but chatting to you the other day dredged it up. In?

^^ That would be me.

How much do you guys think I could get for an on one inbred frame?

^^ That would be me.

For some reason I thought it was Apollo.

Not sure. They're not exactly expensive new.

For some reason I thought it was Apollo.

That picture's over six years old. I think Apollo might have been a bit smaller back then :-)

I think he's smaller than you anyway, no other way I would be riding the inbred with the same settings as him lol

Hmm.. Unlikely, but cheers for asking.

Just noticed this.

Titanium chainring!!?

Hmm.. Unlikely, but cheers for asking.

Go on Pete.

1x42 in ti, and 2x32 in posh aluminium....they were knocking around his workshop, so I got them for a bit cheaper..... :0)

Let me know rough dates for the snowdon thing.....I'm going up the 3 peaks with my mate and our sons in June.....I could scope one of em out!.

No date in mind yet, but thinking of doing it in April once I get this pesky marathon out of the way (if my knees still work). If nobody's interested then I'll probably hire a car and have a bash myself.
