That shouldn’t have been in it. I’d suggest that you get it removed (a fun challenge) and sort a bung so that the steerer is supported internally from the clamping force of the stem.

Happy to be told I’m wrong by the Lfgss massive, but that’s what I’d do.

If that’s a carbon steerer you want to get yourself a carbon compression/expander bung/plug surely?

Dibs on the gravel ;)

(I am very much joking I don’t need more bikes and I’m in the wrong country).

I have a spare 120 spaced rear wheel, a spare disc front wheel, a spare disc fork of the right length…now I wish I could get a Mulo!

Make them bendy (yes bye bye stiffness) so they create an S with the second top tube!

Looks like fun work so far.

Don’t always work. They just wouldn’t stay in place on my Faran. Which reminds me, I never emailed them about it.

Any concerns on where cable is doing a swoop bend and therefore the guide not really capturing it properly? Or the fit would be tight enough? What about a “triple” that you have to bend the cable/hose a bit to pop it into.

Hey, I don’t listen to Pearl Jam or drive.

Otherwise a bit too close to the bone.

Woaaah incredible few updates!

The mounting points on the fairlight are agressively low aren’t they. I tried to fit a litre cage and it wasn’t feasible.

Sounds very similar to me. We had a great trip end of November. Will write more details in later but would also thoroughly recommend the train. Not being able to get the fastest Shinkansen isn’t a problem at all and reserving seats on any train is so easy with the Jr pass.

Do it! Fits a surprising amount and works delightfully with the cage access. I’ve wedged in a tube, mini pump, dynaplug, multi tool (quite bulky one), tyre levers, a wooltooth pack plier and a mini cliff bar. Should still be space for my house keys.

Wait…why would new handlebars need a brake bleed?!

Finishing touches on the Starling thanks to @Tijmen and @Hulsroy

Sweaty back finally banished for spring / autumn riding.

Amazing. Where is the last photo taken?

Uh oh.

All grey with fidlock buckles please. Seriously, don’t tempt me…

Which kickstand are you using with this? Work well? Looking for something similar for potential dog transportation.

Ride with a friend where you can blame them for holding you up. Until you swap. Then they blame you and it’s all funny. The rest is just making the most of the downhill.

Yikes that’s delightful.

I’m going to have to buy one (or three) of your cages just to see how they interact…

This is what I was referring to you. Easy to clean and won’t fall apart mouthpiece (unlike my now un-usable bottles with shredded lids). Snorkel lets the flow rate be bonkers. But as I said - they don’t sit well in a normal steel cage.

It’s an odd one. It’s almost amazing, it stays in the cage, but loading it is not great. There’s a slightly taper so I don’t think they’d work with your current cage.

Moving the bottle cage request thread from @Oddo thread to here.

I have recently tried bivo bottles. They have have some excellent advantages: stainless so no flavour weirdness, nice to hold, easy to clean and excellent flow. But also some disadvantages: hard to properly close (I keep pouring water on myself) and most critically - they don’t actually sit well in a bottle cage.

It’s probably a bit too niche but the shops that sell them might be curious to be able to recommend a better cage for them.

I’d assume that anyone racing xc has a dropper these days.

Hilariously I also stacked it yesterday thanks to a wet root, entirely down to user error. Though I did try and blame the less chonky rear tyre. You’ve gone for some pretty trail / xc focussed tyres?
