Enduro SL 25mm front hub alternatives

Hi Guys,

New on the Nobmob Forum and hopefully somebody might be able to help.

I want to get a new/stronger wheel-set for my SL however, due to the 25 thru axle, I will need to:
- Buy a new 25mm front hub from Specialized and then relace the front wheel which might result on a very expensive exercise OR,
- I can convert a 20mm casing into 25mm by changing bearings and washers.

Convert the casing from 20mm to 25mm is possible and I have found and been provided with information and instructions from the following MTBR Forum:

Fork Boots

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

A friend of mine keeps going on and on and on and on, etc; about how I should install fork boots to protect my forks from accelerated wear and tear because of dirt getting into the fork seals. He reckons it's now not fashionable to use them but very sensible to get the maximum life out of your forks.

Any opinions on using these and can you still buy them?

Crank Bros Pedals

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hi - has anybody used the Crank Brothers Candy C pedals? I have been riding clipped in for years but have always used the standard shimano's. These look good but are they practical? They also look easier to clean!

Leaky UST tyres

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I have an issue with my UST Crossmark tyre.

Few weeks ago I found that they had a few tiny holes in it. I could see the bubbles of air through the water after I washed my bike. So I ordered some Stan's solution as I thought that should seal these little holes up.

However they tyre still seems to be leaking?! I just wet the tyre again and I can still hear and see the little bubbles of air through the water. Sad

What gives? I followed all the instructions on the Stan's bottle.....shake upside down, one scoop etc.

Any ideas why my tyre is still losing air?
