I’ve got this Hylix fork. I remember reading here a while back that some headsets leave a pretty noticeable gap. Has anyone used one / can recommend one that lines up nicely?

‘Do A Skid’ 😅 cheers @dangeek

Ordered :) nice memento for the toolbox

With the sad news about potential forum closure, now seems about the right time to write this and spread some positivity. I’m pretty sure I’m better. It’s taken about two years and cost an awful lot financially and emotionally. Still a lot of fitness to get back, but doesn’t seem to be any real lingering effects. There’s so much stuff out there, but time, calming the CNS and LDN helped me the most. Good luck to anyone else out there still going through it. It’s brutal in a way that no one else can understand, but you will get better. Lots of people are, they just tend not to post about it. Peace.

Hypothetically (disregarding practicality!), could a full mechanical build be fully internally routed? Or is it routing through the handlebar/headset interface too tight?

Any thoughts on PX’s offering? Comes with a lifetime frame warranty

Anyone got one of the old Rapha messenger bags they want rid of? This one below but in medium. Cheers

Anyone got a fussy referral code?

I’ve got a pretty much brand new S with ti front and rear if interested? Probably easier than changing the stem fork and rear.

I’ve built a frame, and had originally planned to use a hylix carbon fork. I’m now second guessing it, and looking to spend a bit more for peace of mind. It’s a flat mount disc fork, 380mm axle to crown, 44m rake with clearance for 32mm tyres.

Any recommendations on fork manufacturers which will be good quality? Not necessarily fussed about having Columbus or Whiskey branding etc / or super weight weenie! Just something solid. Cheers

Electrical tape around the bottom of the seat tube, only needs a few wraps. I’ve used it for years. It’s basically free, and easily adjustable.

Cheers @balmain! Donated

@balmain for sorting me out with a saddle, thanks! Forum donation inbound

Bump on this if anyone has one in brown and good condition please

Yep I think I do. Drop me a DM :)

I’ve done a sram automatix with a coaster brake. Worked ok. Ben at kinetics has done an S2C and reinforced the chain tensioner. I wonder if an aftermarket alloy one would be stiffer than the plastic one so may help?

Unscrewed the 2 speed chain shifter from my bike whilst doing a deep clean. Does the bolt need thread lock? As if it’s snugged up the shifter doesn’t move, but if it’s loose I can just see the bolt coming undone over time

Disregard: the washer goes between the shifter and the winged part above, not between the bolt head and the shifter. No issues now :)

Can the foam grips be removed non destructively?

Is the stem block thing that the seat clips into available? Cheers

Thanks. Yes most companies are only quoting for businesses. Anyone else have any experience with getting insured for free bike doctoring?

Brilliant - thanks for the help. Freehub’s have always mystified me a bit so good to be forced to look into it. Turns out it’s not much more to just buy a whole new (used) wheelset from eBay, so might do that!

So the shimano HG free hub body is a smaller diameter than the XDR, so I guess the hub is XDR compatible only unless the shimano come in variable diameters? It’s from a set of Fulcrum 800DB

To clarify 2x11 currently

Struggling to get my head around sram xdr. I have 11 speed sram shifters and an 11 speed shimano cassette. This set up won’t work with the xdr hub right? Can I change the freehub body or does the whole hub need changing? Or can I just get a new 11speed cassette to fit? Thanks

You can buy a silicone lid protector for the podium, I’ve used it for XC.

Does anyone know if the 600ml eddy will fit in a bottle cage?
