Cove Hustler 27.5 Large Float CTD

$325 GBP
Purchased new in 2017 and only used for 15 months, but that included some Enduro competition, so well used during that time. All parts swapped over to hard-tail in 2018 and stored in garage since due to subsequent house moves. It's in good working order, still rides as well as when new, but the bushings needs a bit of TLC* Size Large, which is 20" seat-tube length. Geometry details here: https://www.silverfish-uk.com/netalogue/silverfish/news/13246005.jpg Comes with Float CTD Kashima shock which is in excellent condition, but a tiny amount of play on the lower bushing. This is not noticeable when riding, no noise etc.. Cane Creek top headset cup and Hope lower cup. No crashes (just lots of near misses !), no dents or damage, but some scrapes here and there. Cable rub on the shock linkage and cable guides. *There is also a tiny amount of side-to-side play on the lower swing-arm bearing (near the BB). It's not the bearings as I've replaced them, so it's wear on the axle/bolt that goes through the link. Again this isn't noticeable when riding, although there was the occasional creak from that area. This is reflected in the price, hence no offers as this frame cost £1100 and still rides very nicely. Last photo is bike when new, other photos taken today. Collection from Manchester preferred, but may be willing to post for extra cost.

Ryder Innovation Releases New Tubeless Rim Nut Remover 'The Nutcracker'
My tubeless valves came with a small plastic core remover which I carry with me. I've never had a problem undoing the locknut on the trail. If the valve body is fitted properly with correct sized rim with good sealant, the locknut shouldn't need to be that tight. If it is very hard to undo, one option is to push down onto the inner end of the valve once the tyre is off. As for bent presta cores, a spoke key usually fits. Anyhow, I'm not dismissing this tool. Could do with a more trustworthy sounding voiceover.....it sounded more like an advert for Cillit Bang or UKIP ;)

Mojo Suspension to Part Ways with Fox Racing Shox
TF Tuned serviced and PUSHed my 36s within about 3 working days and were very helpful. I'm sure Mojo were/are good, but I'm not personally too worried.

Have Your Say on the Ever-Changing Bike Standards
@carym: I thought Shimano had always produced Saint C/L hubs in 20mm ? It was only the original lock-ring that wouldn't fit - and that's all that needed redesigning wasn't it ?

Have Your Say on the Ever-Changing Bike Standards
@jaame: I know what you mean ! I'm running 20x110mm on an older bike with 55s and always liked that system. When I bought 36s for a new bike a year back, didn't both fitting the 15mm adaptors, and simply bought wheels with a 20mm axle front hub.
