Stefan I’ve just looked up that Sofiane Sehili guy. Impressively tough and able but He obviously knows nothing about bikes or how to select a good set of wheels. 😂

And they offer a 3 yr warranty! When I ordered my carbon wheels recently I stupidly didn’t see that in error I’d ordered hookless! Return and exchange was effortless and without question. All the riders I know with Hunt have been happy with their purchase and any issues have been quickly...

I’m sure you know already but Just in case……the times I’ve built tough wheels for loaded touring (never gone out of true after 1000’s miles with camp gear). Lubricate the nipple threads (linseed works well and then dries to prevent loosening). Even tensions and most importantly de stressing then...

they have an excellent reputation in UK. I’m not sure country of manufacture equates to quality these days. Many of our big named frames are made in the far east….. to western company design and standards. No doubt that includes our beloved Specialized.

Yes per set. Increased price to £566 now as they had an extra 10% deal on top of the 33%. Seem to get good reviews…….time will tell.

I put some Hunt carbon wheels on my SL2 recently. Despite the 700g reduction in weight (per wheel) I can’t say I’ve felt much difference in performance Other than the bike being easier to accelerate from standstill. They are rates as being suited to road and light gravel so not for the rides you...

And we have a place nearby (in England) called Cholomendy…..it’s pronounced Chumly. Crazy!

I’m not so sure Jeremy is lazy. Some peoples Scottish accents are completely incomprehensible to me too! 😀.

That’s a coincidence…..51% is the number of the UK population who voted to come out of the EU. I’m not really being fair as they are not all stupid….sadly just a little gullible perhaps. Anyway everyone knows that the Americans, Polish or even the English don’t speak English properly. That...

Don’t forget those teenagers are riding illegal electric motorbikes NOT e-bikes.

Thanks for that. Very useful. I’ve ordered the switch!

What switch did you use for the light? It really annoys me that I can’t decide that I want to have the light off particularly when touring and often can’t charge the main battery at night. I know it’s negligible draw but at times every watt counts (in my mind anyway 😄).

Yes you could well be right as the picture looks not dissimilar to an sl2 but with a removable battery. If you click the link there is quite a bit of detail Given.

yes the idea of loosing a few K by having rigid forks makes sense for me particularly if most riding is on road. Saying that in UK ‘on road’ is probably the equivalent of most EU countries gravel!! As you said tyre inflation is in itself good suspension for road rides.
