Sheesh. That is nothing like a normal / proper circuit

Also a huge fan of the vertical mouse

Couldn't agree more.

I have a set, though not on the trials bike. Impressed with the quality, weight and feel. Note the 3 bashing / spider bolts are 180 degrees rotated from "normal", so an Inspired bash might need some fettling.

I think any benefit is probably offset (and more) by the gusset they've welded in there... My eyes have got used to the paint job now, but I think it misses the mark by some margin in terms of design details. At least he'll be able to run a 32T chainring though

Yeah we have some on order. 8 week lead time at the moment. Will go on site once we physically have them in stock (rather than pre orders).

Only because there are so many of them in use, IMO. Can't comment on the Spank hub, haven't seen one in real life.

Thank you, gents. Appreciate it! The plan from here is to stay involved with Tarty, but more on a 'consultation' basis, to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible. This will take as long as it takes in order to ensure little or no 'upset' to everyone. After that, I'm hoping to live as small and simple life as possible, and see how far / long I can stretch my pennies...

Afternoon all, Seems slightly strange typing this, but I am no longer the owner of TartyBikes. Weird, huh Further information in the link, I hope you'll find the time to have a quick read: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/news/big_news/u297.html A heart-felt thank you to everyone who has supported TartyBikes over the years. You've not got rid of me yet... Adam

Nice. Keen to hear how you get on Peter! Mine are still going well, though I've sourced some DM20 material which in theory should be better (zero creep). Will rebuild both wheels with the new lacing technique when I get some time.

Sounds like the rear is a little contaminated / not working 100%. The rotor design gives a sort of 'ABS' from the solid-holes-solid-holes pattern. Can't feel it on MTB much but very apparent at slower speeds. A rotor with 'consistent' braking surface should do the trick.

Perfectly normal, means the brake is working well.

You can use / steal the end caps from the Hope front hub. Rear is more tricky... ideally would be new I9 end caps and axle, but it might be possible to convert what you have with the help of a lathe... I'm away for a few days but pop me an email at Tarty and will check when back

And brilliant

Hmm. Possible! So those are two different pistons from two different levers pictured above?

What does the inside of the piston bore look like?

Fast coming to the conclusion that tanwalls look great on pretty much any bike. Nice!

I hear you. That's why have a K11 Micra which cost £250!

Ah fair enough. "Cheap car" is different in my world

Yup crack on. Though an old Micra or something sounds just the ticket!

Pretty much. Funny how you get an email about 4.45pm every Friday, isn't it? I once chased my solicitor for an update on a Wednesday. Within 5 minutes I'd had a massive email sent to me, which started with point number 2 and was missing point 6. So basically they hastily deleted 1 and 6, had already done all the work, they were just going to wait until Friday to send the email. This all meant I made 2 'steps' that week rather than just one. So I guess my top tip is badger the f**k out of them!

Also mongs trying to go up the block on full boost. Cassette says no

That looks a lot better than any fatbike should / has ever done before. Good work!

Thanks dude - all sorted and gone in the post back to you today
