Fidlock Twist Magnetic Bottle System Review - Feb. 25, 2021, 5:03 a.m.

My OCD had ruled that out. Tried it a gain, not cure I can live with it :)

Some sections of electrical heat shrink will help - pass the cable ties through it, tighten up, then shrink to fit with hair dryer. I use the same for front mudguards, etc. Gives a layer of soft rubber under the cable tie that takes the wear instead of the frame.

Yeah, am wondering about it. I do have the smallest Fidlock bottle, and the 590 one above also, neither quite work, the odd shape of the YT one might just squeeze in.

I need to find someone with the YT bottle to try it out..... that would be easy if it wasn't for lockdown

Aaagh. My Large G1 is so, so close to fitting the smaller Fidlock bottle, but the rop tube is just a hair too low to allow it to fit. Works so neatly on the XL.

2021 Transition Spur v. Santa Cruz Tallboy - Feb. 23, 2021, 3:31 a.m.

Maybe more to do with how the bike has evolved, while my impression of it stood still somewhat. When the tallboy first came out it didn't appeal to me at all because it was short and steep, but over the years it's quietly become something much more modern and aggressive.

Funny how marketing affects perception, in my mind the Tallboy was a more old school steep XC geo and the Spur was this new, aggressive short travel bike with modern numbers, but this review seems to suggest the exact opposite.

Yeah, works for bolted chainrings, but not for direct mount

If you have a BSA(threaded) BB, then one simple way is to move a 2.5mm spacer over to the non-drive side (if clearance between chainring and chainstay allows - although that's the case for every method).

Nice one - you have one definite buyer here.
