KS Lev Integra myself. Been through 3 reverbs and had issues with each of them, granted all were sorted swiftly, but it's the inconvenience of the issues. Went with the KS and not had an issue. The fact it's cable actuated just means I don't have to faff with bleeding.

It's not actually a person writing it. Just a computer programme essentially. Can't do anything about it as I'm at work atm. Will try and sort it out later tonight.

I'll check what I'm working then.
Also depends if the bikes fixed.

Guessing this is the Peaks or further up then? I was gonna chime in and try and join, but if it's much further than Cannock I'll have issues on the drive home!

Not bad advice that, I find the size 12's a little small, but I do have massive feet. So y'know! Plus this little splash cover over the laces does help keep some of the spray out of the shoe!

I could explain how global warming is just going to make our climate around the UK worse, but that's not what you want to hear, so try this link here, should help. Failing that, find a fairly decent trail centre where their trails will be made to handle the weather and wrap up warm!

Ti bikes give me a trouser accident. Really looking forward to seeing this built!

I've got both 510's and the AM41's, about the same tbh, shimano are slightly better for push up back as their sole is not smooth.

At least y'all have got rides planned! I'm still waiting for the bolts from Knolly! I have my shock, but do I have a properly working linkage? Nah.

Hope 73mm, 30mm spindle BB here, and it's lovely. I doubt I'll ever get anything else unless Chris King relase a BB with a 30mm spindle.

Looking forward to seeing what happens to Curtis Keene tbh, as amazing rider as he is (and actually one of my faves), I've rarely seen him in the top 5. Wonder if he'll get pushed to the side to make way for the powerhouse that Graves is?

If someone wants to get some of these made up that's cool, but let's not get any lame as fuck tight lycra tops yeah?
It might be worth having a look to see what decent jerseys are on sale at CRC or the like and everyone saying what size they'll take and then getting them sent off to a company that can put the decals etc onto them.

Been away from the forum for a while due to work and not actually having a working bike. But I'm really glad to hear you're doing better now! Wasn't nice seeing you in the state you were in up (down for you Northerners!) in Wales!

Okay, I'm guessing the rear hub spacing is 142x12? You'll just need to order a replacement 142x12 bolt for your Nukey. As long as the Mavics are the same spacing as the Nukey they'll be fine.

Shock's off for warranty repair, and I'm still waiting on the bolts from Knolly, I doubt they'll arrive this side of Christmas to be fair :/

As soon as my bike's back on the trail I'll be heading out for a nice crisp ride. Loads of trails I found at the end of summer when they were soaked through, can't wait to ride them when they're a little more frozen!

I've currently got some Shimano XTR's. Fantastic breaks, I find them a bit off and on, by that I mean you can tell when the pads hit the rotor. Gives a nice feel.
I've also owned Hope Tech3 E4's and while I love all the Hope kit on my bike, I just didn't like the brakes. They felt massively overkill for what I was using them for.

Toys have been picked up and replaced this morning after I got the emails.
As for whether the missing bolt has caused the issue? I reckon so tbh. Still, shock's getting sent off for warranty work and bolts are coming through the mail. Ideal.

Now I've actually slept, I'm not in such a bad mood about it.
I've messaged knolly directly explaining my issue. 3 emails later they've sent out 2 replacement bolt FoC.
Honestly I'm impressed, again.
So yeah, still gutted about the wear/damage and shock having died, but happy at the customer service they've provided!

Shop I bought the bike through has ceased trading. Supplier no longer carries Knolly after the issues I had getting the bike into the country, so I don't really have any where to go with this.

So I have not only managed to blow my shock, not a clue how that happened, but as I was taking it off to send it off for repair I discovered this: Fuck the fact it's a huge image. I'm absolutely gutted by this, massive strain on only one side of the bike and you can see it's worn parts away. Basically I've fucked the bike. I have no idea how long it's been like that now! I'm tempted to pack this hobby in, every single fucking month I have to replace something on this fucking bike.
