You can increase the the travel on the rebas on the pro with the 120mm air shaft c£22 delivered from bike24 and it's a easy fit.

I see this year's pros are 1x and 120mm.

Can you link it?

Nice ride along the canal this morning

One of these I think and select the 120mm

Difficult to know for sure if yours can be adjusted by spacer (easy free) or you need the shaft. Depends which year fork halfords bulk purchased for these. I assume 14/15 spec so shaft.

Yeah, they use 2014 forks.

Ok, ordered - thanks for the tip I've serviced plenty of Rebas so ok to fit

What tyre pressures you 2.3-2.4 650b people running?

I usually put 31-32psi in, tempted to drop that a touch but a little nervy of catching a flat off one of those stealth rocks.

I'm running 23psi at the mo, but Swinley Forest had rocks maybe 50 million years ago.

I should probably say I'm not tubeless atm, I'll get round to it - seems a bit of a faff.

Most of where I go seems to have rocks or rocky sections, so I need to factor that in, I'm not complaining though - I love rocky/gravelly singletrack.

thewanted - you're tubeless there, I'm guessing?

 

[Begbie]

All depends on terrian, you're weight, tyres etc.

But I'm running 30-28 roughly. I drop them to a lot less when doing uplift days though.

Popped into swinley this morning. Was the first use in "anger" for the patrol. She loves a berm

Think my monarch might be leaking though, seems to have a lot of gunk on the shaft?

Of course

Got my bike out of the 'bus shelter' open shed having been there since about October... Oops! Been busy with moving house etc had forgotten I put it there temporarily.. Chain completely orange, rust on lots of things it probably shouldn't be Most of it has wiped/scrubbed off and having lubed everything up good and proper it all seems ok except the brakes need bleeding. Time to get some use out of the poor girl (and start storing it in the proper shed!)

Best go to the GUM clinic.

I've had that on the first couple of rides on a monarch, it'll settle down, as long as its holding air you'll be fine.

 

[Begbie]

So planning on going France in August?

Anybody got any tips? Where to stay, les gets, morzine? Any body used any accommodation they could recommend? Only going to be two of us.
