    Hi Rick, I am afraid that the only info that I have been able to find is the following pdf, which isn't of much use. http://www.magura.com/media/922396/boltron_2017_en.pdf I have yet to experience any of the "thunk" that you describe, but oil is already slightly weeping onto one of the sliders...

    Sadly, all too true. :(

    The bridge is actually on a bridleway that borders the woodland that I ride. It is a lovely spot, especially in the spring when the bluebells and wild garlic are in flower. Some of the stone has fallen from the side of it, which I pointed out to the landowners when I discovered it last January...

    Another Sunday afternoon spent having fun in the local woodland. I have also now completed the latest section of clearing, after recent winds brought down yet more trees. Everything is once again, good to go, or rather passable! :) One side of the playground, beyond the field.

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    Not as much as I used to. I seem to go through phases of using it, then not bother for a while. I guess that I could just look on the bike though. :) Ref the jumping down of the last two high gears, you are spot on. For some reason I had never noticed that one before, but it isn't very often...

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    I was just thinking a couple of days ago, that I really need to pull the bike down thoroughly to give it once over, and also to swap the chain over on a rotation system. I have absolutely no idea how many miles that the bike has now done, but I have a feeling that the chain is doing really well...

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    That's interesting, as mine operates smoothly throughout the whole range. I shall make a point of now checking this though. :) It is certainly an impressive system when it comes to changing gear under load, which is generally something that I prefer not to be doing, as it shouldn't be...

    It'll be interesting to see how you find the cassette. I'm having a bit of a love hate relationship with the set up. I love the smoothness and quality of shift and use, but I'm finding the leaps between the gear range, a bit excessive for my use and it somehow doesn't quiet work. This is only...

    Wisper eMTB sneak preview

    The only negative that I can see with using carbon fibre, is going to be from ham-fisted owners that don't understand it's properties or how to carry out correct and proper maintenance and or adjustment of components. Just one example from your supplied photos, the seat post clamp is a quick...

    spd shoes

    I haven't done, but I do put a little silicon sealant from the inside, around any gap that might allow water to get into the sole of the shoe. I have yet to have a cleat work loose from any of my cycle shoes.

    spd shoes

    It is worth sticking bit of heli tape or similar on the pedal cranks.

    spd shoes

    One further thing for you to check, is to fit the pedals to the bike, clip in whilst balancing against something, and pedal backwards to make sure that you have adequate clearance between your shoes/leg against the pedal crank. It will save potentially rubbing the finish from the pedal cranks.

    KTM Lycon Macina Shimano gears

    As I had suspected, when facing the hanger from the outside of the frame, it is down (anticlockwise) :)

    East Sussex Calling

    They are a very good rim braking system.

    KTM Lycon Macina Shimano gears

    No problem. I'll take a look at the hanger for you tomorrow, but suspect that it will be in the down position.

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    The good thing is that you can now make that ride as easy, or as hard as you like. :)
