    Wanted X-Lite ‘FLY’ stem in black - open to other colours.

    Not sure, can't remember what I paid for it and had thought about using it on my long in the planning GT lightning build but it may be too chunky.

    am i an idiot for wanting to bling up my 27.5" ti ht?

    I'd say go for it. If it makes you happy building your dream spec bike then I can't see a reason not to. It's what I'd do, in fact I am building a 27.5er for me in a fairly decent spec once I'm done, though 11sp xtr not 12 as I just don't see the point of 12sp myself. You should be able to...

    Ni number required for an online retail purchase?

    I agree with all of the above. I didn't proceed as a result. Its Mondraker so quite a specific need to be fulfilled. I've contacted UK suppliers to try and get what I need. Fingers crossed, but glad I'm not going mad in thinking this isn't normal. First time I've come across it.

    Ni number required for an online retail purchase?

    This is bike related. I was looking to buy some spare parts for a bike direct from manufacturer site. The checkout process asks for my NI number which is a required field so can't checkout without it. Why would a retailer be asking for this? I get the HMRC rules on platforms like eBay and...

    Wanted X-Lite ‘FLY’ stem in black - open to other colours.

    Have a few x-lite stems. Didn't note measurements when I took pics but they aren't too long. I think the hope one pictured is 100mm but could be wrong.

    Klein headtube

    I've only owned one Klein, a rascal in gator linear fade. Beautiful looking bike. That had a straight 1 inch compatible head tube which took a standard threaded headset. Spinner forks and a 1 inch mc1 combined steerer/ handlebar. That's a lie, I also had a pinnacle elite in backfire colour...

    Rockshox SID XC Headset

    It may not be the right tool, but plumbing tubing works. As does a carefully placed ring spanner end and a hammer, as long as the crown race has enough meat they isn't the part that snugs up against the bearing, you don't want to damage that.

    NOS Rockshox SID SL 80mm - buy?

    I have a remote lockout dial kit of these forks, no lever though (nos) if you wanted to go that route. Seals should be available, until recently rockshox did, maybe still do 28mm forks so seals may be compatible. Enduro is also a good source, kits come up from time to time. Srp may also do...

    V Brake set up query.

    I'd look at the spring adjusters on each arm too to pull them closer to the wheel alongside the washers on the pads.
