DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Any old 26er wheels for sale?

Hello.

In need of a set of 26er wheels, disc brake, shimano freehub. Selling an old bike and want to substitute the wheels for something less fancy. Looking to spend around 40 quid.

Lovely stuff

I do. I will have to check what they are though.
They are disc brake, QR front and rear and been used with 10spd shimano without any weird modification.

Glorious. That is what I am after. Selling Tess's 26er (she has agreed) but want to keep the nice hope wheels for another project. Keep me posted on what they are and hopefully we can strike a deal :-)
