  1. But you still need to carry a tube and pump in case of punctures. All seems a bit pointless to me.
  2. I'm going to go ultra cool and run a 29er front with a 650b rear, so there. Not really.
  3. I tried Googling the answer to the first question and still couldn't find the answer. I'm calling BS on the site...
  4. You must know Rob and Danny. Everyone knows Rob and Danny.
  5. Keep telling yourself that! But really, I guess it depends how smooth you are. It might last years or it might last a month if you land hard and case a few times.
  6. Looks about 19" maybe (easy to check...) and worth maybe £30.
  7. That's it- I take it there's a little booklet that has all the answers in it and you just have to remember them, I did it quickly this morning and got 10/24 in 4 minutes and quite honestly don't know whic ones I got right and which ones I got wrong they were so obscure and for the most part irrelevant. Edit: Actually, is that really the official practice test thing? Surely it should be in a .gov.uk domain?
  8. Possibly at some point but not for a long time... Really wish I'd done a screen print- you all think I'm nuts!
  9. Ah, fair enough. I obviously can't read too good so just look at the pretty pictures .
  10. What are you looking at? Looks like a normal lever to me...
  11. Hey chief, already gone to a 12mm Maxle on the rear which as you say made a big difference .
  12. It's noticeably stiffer when you grab the forks with the bike upside down which should result in things being more planted on the trail but haven't really tested it properly yet. No, these basically replace a spindly 5mm QR skewer with a stiffer 9 or 10mm hollow axled QR. The wheel still operates with a QR lever (rather than bolts) but it should be stiffer and stronger. QR's like these: Rather than these:
  13. I've now converted my front Commencal hub to a 10mm bolt through (modified 10mm rear Superstar QR) and the Inspired to a 9mm bolt through so thanks for putting me on to them Mr Oliver!
  14. Not in this thread just in general posting mindless drivel and generally trolling like a goodun'. Edit: In fact your attitude in this thread is enough to support the theory.
  15. Ever wonder if maybe people would be more helpful if you weren't such a dickhead on here the rest of the time? Can't be arsed offering advice so yeah, unlucky and good luck sorting it I guess.
