Right that's the mud tyres back on (Bontrager Mud X) goodbye fatbike-esque rubber queens (just add water) and hello fast rolling/shedding knobblies of delight :D
 
Cheers :-) The search function on their website must be broke, it didn't bring anything up at all!

It now surfaces that I shan't be getting the frame at all so no point in buying tyres.. :(
 
Ordered brakes from bike discount and they've sent me the front left lever rather than right side. Obviously I can put it on the left, put it gets in the way of the shifters making it a total PITA.

Any ideas? Or just send it back?

Was it just one or the pair?

You can just swap the hoses over quite easily once mounted if it's the pair or if your other brake matches etc.

Eh?

ps: Pretty much the rest of the world run their brakes the other way around ( Right = back , Left = Front)

I just got the right hand and now realise it does advertise as so on the site. It's upside down for now and works, just chunky so the shifters are in an awkward position.

Just the front, will be ordering rears in the next few months so I'll make do and swap the hoses around. Had a look, no need to bleed etc so pretty simple thankfully.
 
guys having a problems with my rear brake my a horrible sound when breaking, it's not the normal squeel you may get if you had wet / oily pads. They the brake works fine its just when it engages it makes a really loud noise.

Tried the following:
re-aligning the brake by loosening the caliper and pressing the brake and then re-tighten.
Re-alligning by sight
sanded down the disc and pad
replaced pad
replaced disc and pad together.
Replaced wheel

Still does it :( does it wet and dry and at any speed.

Ideas before i bite the bullet and either buy a new brake or take it to the shop?
 
Lol.
Forgot to post this a few days ago... they must have just shot that video! :D

Does anyone know of any better value rear 29" wheels than the Pro 2 evo on Flow rim? Can get it for £180 delivered from Merlin.
