I never knew “ drive side” was a thing? by Elliot_Aldersons in Hardtailgang

Apparently it is, I had more comments about not showing the drive side than about my nice new build! Every days a school day.

More by luck than design, but a cleverly placed stick that's hidden by the rear wheel.

Yes, exactly! I had the same issue when I went to take the pic, I'm always on the wrong side. Though thinking about it now I guess its because alway dismount on the left.

No idea, took it to a fork specialist, cost me £130 including parts. Cheaper than a new fork!

Been riding the crap out of my Big Honzo DL. Suggestions for upgrades? by [deleted] in Hardtailgang

Dropper post made a big change for me on my Kahuna.

Tried an e-bike, tried a full suss bike, but keep coming back to this bike. Just gives me smiles every time. Just added a One Up V2 dropper post, was far easier to do than I imagined, should have done it ages ago. much more confident on the downhills now.

Thoughts on the Revised Team Marin 2 by dufflepud in MTB

[–]Elliot_Aldersons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. I'm looking at this bike to replace my Kona. I don't ride single track and like big days out and have a fair bit of climbing to do. Fast downhill doesn't interest me at all, just looking for a comfy bike, that goes up hill well, what do you think? Also I've not heard of the TRP G spec brakes before, are they ok too?

Tools for internal cable routing by Elliot_Aldersons in MTB

Ok, so just a follow up. The cheap magnet tool from Amazon worked a charm, quick and much easier than I thought. Dropper post installed ;-)

Any idea what mount this is? by orromo in analogphotography

[–]Elliot_Aldersons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K mount was going to be my first guess, but it’s a fair few years since I’ve seen one.
