Hi TF. Wondering if anyone can help with this puzzle… My i9 hydras are currently the following configuration: - Rear, 135 bolt in - Front, 110 15mm through axle I want to run them on my new frame and fork which has the following configuration: - Rear, 135 12mm through axle - Front 110 20mm through axle Hoping someone know what axle / end caps I need to order! To add to the complexity I have Pro 4s in the correct config, unsure if I can steal the end caps / axles from them?!

Cheers Mike! It’s even faster than it looks. 4 rides in 1 week is a record for me

Fixed it

I have to say I expected them to look far too much against the yellow, but I really dig it. The mtb is tanned up also!

The banana has reached its final form

Good point! I run tech 3 E4s on my 26” trials bike. Bit of tape on the pad backings and there’s no pad rock. The power is plenty as you say, I’m yet to have a single brake slip, and that’s with a 180 rear.

The moto style lever is very ugly in my opinion.. but you can't argue with a 30% power increase

That's solid advice. Appreciate it! Exactly the thoughts I had around packing, I've sorted a couple of bike bags so going to put spares / lid / shoes and whatnot in there. Didn't realise there is a pick up option for that park, did you find them on facebook?

Cheers Adam!

New bike day! Picked up this beautiful Pace. Really nice spec. Short travel 29er is the perfect set up for my neck of the woods. Can’t wait for some laps.

Adam you are the man. Really appreciate that! I'll post it back today

Purchased a brand new TT sport lite bb back in December. It’s probably seen around 8 hours of pedal time and tonight the driveside bearing died a rather scary and loud death. Anyone else had the same issue with these? Very carefully installed etc, everything kept nipped up. Going to see if there’s any chance of warranty with tarty tomorrow but being a bearing I’m not holding my breath

Bumping this a bit. I'm in Brighton and we've got a pretty solid regular group of 5-10 of us on the go. If anyone else is local give me a shout and get involved!

Hi TF, So myself and a buddy have booked some flights to barca for the end of April. I have a few questions to locals / people who've ridden there previously: - Any particular district you'd recommend staying in? - We're planning to stick to street only. Can you get on the metro with a bike? - How did you go about taking tools etc with you? I was thinking to chuck some basics in with the bike in the box, along with my helmet. But easyjet specify only the bike should be within the box. - Spots wise I'm guessing we'll have no trouble finding bits. But if there's any must see please do let me know a location. Cheers!

I assumed he’s running a prototype of some sort?

I’m sure people are bored of seeing yellow Hex’s at this point but I couldn’t resist the same colour code for a third time. Modified the original plastic saddle so it can sit lower. Just waiting on the rims now

How he can ride that head angle is beyond belief. The bike must feel so strange. I wonder if he already had the frame / bike for another discipline, and then figured out it worked well. At 1k a frame it's an expensive experiment if not!

Stripped down and off to the powder coaters. I’ve also given in to temptation and ordered light bicycle rims

Looking for spoke recommendations for a lightweight but strong wheel. Any pointers? I usually just order the sapim spokes from tarty but seeing as the rims and hubs are pretty pimpin would like to explore other options too

Bit the bullet and ordered some light bicycle rims for the hex. The long wait commences!

I did a self conversion on a scabby 16 year old white SWB T5 during the first lockdown. Absolutely loved the process and loved the van. Had some great trips in it around the UK and planned further afield but decided to let it go whilst camper prices were at an all time high. Really miss this thing, but personally I want a MWB hi top next. The lack of head height (I couldn’t justify the 3k pop top cost on top of the rest of the mods). +1 for the sideways bed though. I made the centre of the worktop at the back removable so I could transport my motorbike in the middle.

Cheers all. I’ve cleaned them all up, applied some blue loctite, given the rotors a tweak clockwise and nipped them up to knuckle smashing level. Big Portsmouth ride tomorrow so will see how they go.

That’s actually a quality tip. Nice one

I’ve been going down that route however I actually snapped my t25 bit so I was certainly getting the torque there. I think the issue stems from using titanium bolts, coupled with being pretty weighty although I’d say I’m pretty smooth (if I do say so myself). I’ll try the blue stuff, glad you’ve said that as I have some in the shed but no red.

My rotor bolts (especially on the rear) are coming loose constantly. I'm thinking loctite should do the trick.. Anyone who has had the same issue, did you resolve with blue or red loctite?
