Hi Guys, I have a question regarding the X-trail and the R24 db wheels. Noticed the rear wheel has a disc rub on the outside pad. It's actually virtually rubbing the caliper. Just had the wheel bearings replaced and the…

@GHC Re: Rub Thanks for the input. I'm pretty certain it is the brake pad rubbing on the disc. To be honest now it's bedded in a little, it's almost imperceptible. But checking for light as you suggested points to this.…
@Magnum Rotae Oooh - only just bought mine and now I have bike envy !! :0
Guys.... I have another idiot question as a newbie.... I have the Challenge Gravel Grinder 38mm on my 2016 Ridley carbon.... I initially set the tyre pressure to 70psi as I'm running it all on tarmac at the moment.…
GHC.... Thanks. Lot to consider....I'm not in a rush to do tubeless, but I see it as a logical step from what I've heard and after your explanation. Good counter argument for casual use is the additional maintenance.…
I'm loving it so far! Early days with this kind of set up - but climbing feels easier and it feels like it accelerates well compared to my old one. I figured the saving would finance swap out wheelset if I decide to do…

Thanks very much for your input guys.....did the deed today and purchased a carbon x-trail. Going into the workshop for checking over. Should be able to collect midweek onwards 😊
Those are good insights into why it might sense to choose certain gear sets. Food for thought. I'm never going to be a 100 miler plus....unlikely anyway.
GHC Thanks very much for checking that, really helpful for me. So it looks as though the only difference is in the group set stuff. Shifters, fd, crank, wheels and tyres. It also has the more muted black/grey paint…

Gents, I have another question regarding the X-trail ... Can you tell me if there are any major differences between the 2017 C30 carbon and the 2018 Carbon framed model - I notice the wheels and tyres are different, but…
Thanks AT....that's very useful.
