    Anyone interested in frame / forks or complete bike. Need to raise some funds for a fat bike :(. Sorry ££350 complete ? I'm rubbish at selling things.

    11 speed mtb road bike gear swap.

    Re: Thanks hamster, thats what i feared, i was hoping to go for the 2x11 mtb set up but even a long road cage wont handle that range of gears. bit pissed off with shimmano really but never mind. just got to sort out a 15mm bolt through conversion for the wheel and can try it out on 26x2.1 tyres.

    Marin b17 stem length

    I`ve just bought a disc equipped b17 with 170mm bombers on it. After riding a mount vision since `97 I can honestly say its a really good bike. The bombers are a bit heavy for what i do really but until I find a replacement I`m going to hammer them.

    11 speed mtb road bike gear swap.

    Hi guys. Trying to figure out if it's possible to get shimano 105 11 speed shifters to index correctly with a mtb 11 speed cassette and mtb rear mech. I've read this link and I'm figuring they won't work but hoping they will. http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-beh ... atibility/ Thanks in...

    Re: Do you mean what length of steerer you need. Stem length can vary depending how you want it to ride.

    180mm Vs 160mm

    Re: Don't know whether it's me or not but I feel they are much more progressive once they have warmed up a bit. It could be me getting used to them but that feeling is pretty consistent. Cold - grabby. Warm - spot on.

    Marin b17 fs tech.

    Re: Well after a couple of rides I can say I'm really impressed. Forks I think are a bit too long for going up hill but it's so much more capable going down than my mount vision. The plan to strip and re finish may be considerably delayed due to use.

    180mm Vs 160mm

    Re: I'm running 203's and I found them too grabby at first. Now I'm getting used to them I like them. I never need more than one finger anymore.

    Re: Measured today, rear arm is the longer 470mm arm so I'm happy with that. I increased the rear shock pressure from 120psi to 230psi and now sag is spot on. Need to rebuild the rear hub bearings, swap out the free hub and ideally get an adaptor to play with the air in the forks. Then it's...

    Re: Just measured the really early mount vision arm and that's 450mm. Forget to check the b17

    Re: Finally on it's wheels. Didn't get a chance to measure swing arm. New jokey wheel for mech. Set the sag and it's ride time.
