Just got my new tyres from CRC. The box says 26" the tyre inside was 27.5". Don't have a printer so i'm going to need to wait till I get to work on Monday before I can print the return form.

edit: Do I just need the return form, or should I contact them first?

Supercow · 10 Apr 2015 at 12:56

Apparently it's actually inside the seat tube!

correct - impressive design, looks very nice without the shock on show etc but not sure how it works if you need to fix/adjust/lube it etc

Sounds crap, i can imagine lots of crud getting in there and being hard to clean out!

What a weekend! F1 and the first MTB DH WC of the season.
lots of good articals popping up on Pinkbike the last couple of days, you know the season is in full swing again.

Lord Warner interview, thoroughly enjoyed reading watching this article, Him, Peaty, Palmer and Cedric gracia were and to some extent are still the life blood of DH, and i'm so glad to see the likes of Ratboy etc picking up the torch and carrying that spirit on for the current generation of DH

4 MULALLY
5 LUCAS
6 FEARON
7 BROSNAN
8 JONES
9 FAIRCLOUGH

That threw up a few surprises, but i reckon any of the top 4 plus Gee, who i'm led to believe came off up top and hurt his hand, could take it tomorrow, apparently gee will race though.

Good to see Ratboy still in the mix after that horrible injury at the World Champs
