Rear derailleur identification
My rear der is getting ready for replacement but I'm not sure how to identify the exact model I need.
The current der has RD M780 stamped on it but when I go on the Shimano website there are various other letters/models available.
I run a 3x10 setup so presume I need a mid cage and I'd like one with a clutch to reduce chain slap.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thanks.
26? 27.5? 29? Pffft!

Seasucker racks
Does anybody use Seasucker racks to transport their bikes? Looking at getting the mini bomber, gives you the ability to move rack between cars without having to have roof racks etc. I'm looking at using it on the hard lid of my Amarok.
Quick and kinda urgent question - tubeless conversion
Hey guys, pulled my tyres off to do a tubeless conversion, and am a bit stuck. I've never even seen the inside of a rim before so this may be a massively stupid question, but I don't want to proceed til I've got an answer.
I have the notubes sealant, valves and a roll of 25mm rim tape. My rims are 20mm (flat bit in the centre, not outside width) and I'm fitting a Minion to the front, High Roller to the rear.
Bike reviews
Looking for reviews on either Giant Anthem SX 27.5, Anthem 27.5 or Anthem X 29er. Also info on ride days for Giant bikes.
Shock Service

Maestro murder...detectives required
Hey guys so I'm in the midst of one of my most ambitious projects to date - replacing all the picot bearings on my 2008 Giant Reign. So I've got it apart as shown in the photo EXCEPT! for the middle linkage thing. The thru-bolt is out, so the piece is loose but I can't get it away from the frame! I've been pretty gentle so far because I don't want to wreck anything, but is there any trick to getting this away from the frame? Basically it seems I need to flex it open and get it around the frame, but easier said than done! Thanks for advice from anyone who's been here...
Should I clean old latex out of tyres
i have a continental non-UST tyre go mavic xm819 rims that refuses to hold air for more than a day.
The tyre has been on there a long time.
Should I remove some of the old sealant out of the tyre and replace it with fresh sealant or just keep topping it up?
Crank Brothers Egg Beater 4 broken :(
Hey folks
I have the super duper Egg Beater gold pedals but after 5 years one of them has the egg beater come off the spindle and I can't work out how it attaches.
Any suggestions for how to fix - or suggestions as to a bike shop that would have some expertise to get it fixed?
Any experience with these as buying a new set is a big investment?
thanks!

Advice on 3x9 to 1x9 conversion
Need some advice on a budget 3x9 to 1x9 conversion.
Due to a new frame (warranty replacement) on my old bike, my old BB and Deore 9sp crank triple won’t fit.
Rather than buy a new 9sp triple crank, I want to convert it to a 1x9 with a 30t ring, using the existing 9sp Shimano XT rear mech and cassette.
Therefore I need to buy:
- New 104 BCD crank that is capable of running a single 30t 10sp chainring
- 30t 10sp narrow wide chainring
