Your slacking on these pictures dude!! -.-0 -
I've got Kenda Karma folding on my charge with 'tanwalls'', found it good in the summer but have changed them for some Maxxis Beavers for the winter. Loving rigid riding but off to Swinley in a couple of weeks. Will I survive on rigids, last time I was on my Cove Hummer Ti with suspension. Twitching bum syndrome starting, LOL.0

Sorry I can't these were second hand on eBay. Try dropping charge an email as they must be able to supply replacements for their bikes. If you get any joy please let me know. If not you are limited to maxxis Ardents or onza canis skinwalls if you want folding.orange five 260

Finally took the niner for a test ride which went fairly well with minor niggles to sort.
Front wheel is out of true which isn't good for a new wheel but these things happen :?
Front and back brakes squeal so I will try and degrease the discs and scuff the pads up but I can see a superstar order coming soon.
Head doctor needed to be tightened and front mech cable needed to increased by half a turn to get the shifting sweet.
Then after a quick hose down followed by the rider as Mrs D wouldn't let me in the house
The rigid forks seem to work well with the frame and I wasn't shook to death as I thought might be the case.
I can see the draw of a 29er it does climb well, munches miles and maintains speed with ease but it isn't anywhere as nimble or as fun in my opinion. Would I have it as my only bike......... Ask me in a few months what I really need is a 650B soul to try -Cy are you listening.......orange five 260

Looks like it took the mud well!! Glad it feels good. Ive been up pines this morning that was fun apart from killing my pads on the front. BUT with 4 pairs of kevlar pads for 20quid from superstar all will be well in a week or so :-)0

So after getting covered in mud on the test ride which I don't mind but I was getting a lot flicked up under my glasses so I set about making a guard out of an A4 folder that Mrs D had laying about.

The perfect crime don't think she will notice
Now I have the old mans bleed kit and some olives think I will shorten the brake hose and hide in the garage just in case.....orange five 260

Have you thought about marketing that idea? You could call it a Benda Fenda or something...
I forsee a raft of forum member's wives/kids finding holes in their A4 folders in the imminent future... She might think you're making a codpiece though.0 -

Unfortunately the brake pads were goosed so one quick order to superstar and these arrived this morning. Got 4 sets with some for the soul as well.
Not used Kevlar pads before so keen to see the difference between these and sintered.
Quick pedal upgrade donated by the soul.
Waiting to get my wheel back from truing got to wait till next Thursday as they have bought a new machine so mine will be the guinea pig :shock:orange five 260

Thanks the colour is even better in the flesh I am very pleased with forks which is a good job as there doesn't seem to be many second hand decent sets of suspension forks for sale at a reasonable price at the moment.orange five 260
