Anyone know where I can get one? Shipping from Eightinch is $45 !!??

Need a 20mm lift to make up for a rigid fork conversion (turning my old hardtail into my road bike)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Webscorer reviews?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I'm thinking our club (CWORBC) should get webscorer (http://www.webscorer.com/) and buy an android tablet to use it on.

Has anyone used it? On which device(s)?

We'd be mainly using it for multi lap time limited events (ie. most laps wins).

I think Lithgow use it? Do you have any problems with it?

New Rim Needed

My rim has split and flared out it's a DT Swiss 4.1d and I need to replace it. Has anyone got any recommendations, obviously i would like to reuse the rest of the parts evidently the DT X425 is the same rim with new name. Other brand/rim suggestions? or should i stick with DT so i can reuse everything else.

Stans Rim tape width

Hi Guys

I have a set of bead hookless carbon TLR rims I'm looking to build up into some race wheels. I'm just wondering what width tape is recommended for an internal width of 22mm? By the time the channel is taken into account, the perfect fit tape width between goes up to 23mm, but the tape is only available in 21mm and 25mm widths.

Thanks for your advice Smiling

schwabe nobby nic/ racing ralph vs maxxis Ardent

Hi all,

I've just put a deposit down on my new wheels for Christmas the 2015 Anthem SX 27.5 and I'm super pumped! However I want to know what everyone's advice and experience is with the Maxxis Ardent tyre tubeless vs the standard combo that comes with the bike being the schwabe racing Ralph and nobby Nic, I haven't rode on either before, I'm currently using maxxis crossmark with tubes. This is my first time going tubeless.
