Easton Haven Wheels- bearing spacer install kit if anyone has one?
Hi All,
I bought a set of Easton Haven's and subsequently read about the bearing issues they'd been having on the rear hub (I think some other eastons use the same hub/bearing setups).
I managed to get my hands on the Bearing replacement upgrade, but they didn't have the "BEARING DRIFT KIT 15 M1 BEARING SPACER – Part# 8004015 (This is the tool kit. Shops need just one of these)."
Schwalbe Hans Dampf - One year review
Just a quick review on the Schwalbe Hans Dampf for those interested . I bought a set about a year ago and have done about 900 kms on them.

Recently purchased a 27.5 tube and put it in my rear tyre,pumped it up to 40 psi,seated properly with no abnormalities,left it at 40 psi and it blew up overnight,tyre is fine,tube is a right off,,tyre is rated to 50 psi,and rim rated to 3 bar,has anyone else had problems with giant tubes?

Light Bicycle Carbon Rims
Hi All,
Have been looking around at some Chinese Carbon Rims for a couple of weeks now and am tempted in ordering a set or two and was hoping someone here has had some experience in these rims and the Novatec Hubs, either MTB or Road.
I'm looking at getting the 50mm clincher road wheel set

and also a set of 650B to convert my Ibis.

Any feedback would be great good or bad.
Cheers.

Seat posts
Looking for a good quality carbon seat post as I want to up grade from my standard alloy one
Problem I have is quite often my seat will move from being flat to nose up after a hard ride no matter how tight I do the cap head bolts up that hold it
