Bike Check: Katy Curd's Prototype Privateer 141
So, flip chip on the chainstay….what happens to the pad/rotor interface. Are there two mounting point options for the caliper, a fore/aft type position? I wouldn’t imagine the brakes set up spot on in one mode, would then be able to be just run again with the axle moved, without altering the caliper position?

Pinkbike Primer: Everything You Need to Know Ahead of Red Bull Hardline 2023
Monday? It runs ‘till Sunday. I went last year with my son. Yes, it’s a bit steep, geographically and cost wise, but a good day out (albeit you don’t actually see a lot of riding as it’s such a long course and they whistle past you)
As below, that’s the car fee, so get five in and spread the cost
I don’t think you can pay on the gate though, you have to have a barcode parking pass.

Yay, that’s my local riding spot around Halifax, or Halifornia, or Calderfornia, as it’s referred to on social meeja.. Them bluebells in Elland Woods are lethal when wet. Norland Moor looking mint. Gotta support a local engineering company, keep it up Orange.

I’m disappointed about the lack of guidance on bears. It may be irrational but I’d be worried about being scranned by a grizzly/brown/black bear.

That’s some scary stuff there. Very skilled riders. I love how much respect and camaraderie there is between the riders, all stoked for each other.

@dglobulator: got to agree. I had a Schwalbe tyre and must have gone through four or five or these mushroom plugs and not one stuck. This was using a Rema Tip Top kit, so legit materials. Gave up in the end as if it wasn’t going to bond, I didn’t want to risk it. Stans sealant and roughed up the carcass with sandpaper and scraped and wiped all the sealant off.
And I’ve fixed plenty of tubes over time,
