I have a 11sp 5bolt chainring. I have Shimano chain with Sram link, so a Sram chain should work. Get a chainring from Garbaruk or Raceface. There are probably loads of others out there.

What is the silver thing sticking out at the back of the frame?

Not as interesting as the one that I am in the middle of. I prefer tyres that are boring.

Only 46t? What sort of dinner plate is that?

I have to get a machine to inflate them. I wonder if it will work.

Less angular momentum than a Cruzbike. If you are using a friction shifter it is easy to see the gear-change process and get the chain lined up with the cog. I wonder if it can accommodate mudguards? No, I am not obsessed.

Probably destroys them mentally. Some would call that gamesmanship. The sort of gamesmanship that is in the finest tradition of Le Tour.

A forum of clever and helpful people. They inspire in me more hope than Hope hubs.

I have unsuccessfully sought narrower innertubes. Anyway, I now await the delivery of tape, valves and sealant. Will I be able to inflate them, or must I buy a machine for that?

I had 140 on the Silvio. I have 130 on the S40 and it feels good. Although I have not ridden far enough to really find out.

The XDR is longer than the XD. The ring is a spacer that turns the XDR into XD.

I got a broken elbow and cracked ribs on the Grasshopper but that pales into insignificance.

How long have Cobb been doing that? I never saw that and I did a lot of looking.

I think I understand now, although it is not explicitly stated. The people who want 650b are almost all gravellists and they want tubeless. The manufacturers aim for this market. I am almost always on tarmac and only occasionally off it. I just wanted some suspension and a bit of space for...

@M00se - I do not know what gears you have at the moment. If you have XX1 then your hub is okay. If you have Shimano then you need to get a new XDR driver body from the people who manufactured your hub. If you can find one. You need a Sram 12sp chain. 11sp will not work. I think some...

Who made your hub? Hope?

In short: I am going tubeless. I spent all day trying to fit a Gravel King tyre. Absolutely no way. I have been putting tyres on and taking tyres off for years. I never experienced anything like this. Do I need to get different rims and go back to the bike shop to get them built? I want...

I await the delivery of two Panaracer Gravel King tyres. They are folding bead, like the Vittoria were. They are 650B*1.5, a bit wider than the Contact. There is a lot of clearance in these forks.

When I worked in a warehouse, the manager was always onto us to pull our fingers out. We need that truck loaded and out 10 minutes ago. And pack it. Do not waste any space. Lazy? No. Bloody hard work. But I remember our motto. "We've got it sorted, we've got it licked. If it ain't...

Clever device. What do you call it?
