The mount you have linked to will be fine.
Your front wheel has a 9mm axle.
(The skewer is 5mm diameter.)

Have a good day, all.
The Christmas ride I did with the crew 2 years ago was great. 🎄🎅🏼

If you have an Exposure TraceR light and want to use it on a full sus mtb with a dropper post then I can recommend the saddle rail mount.

There’s a thread about it on Singletrack World forum.
Ben has explained the design and why it is what it is.
Worth reading.

Q for the BlueSky experts: Can I configure Bluesky ‘Following’ so it starts at the last post I read rather than the last post posted when I log in?

I got out for an hour but it was pretty wet.

It was nice to see you too. 👍🏻

“Also... I was peering over the side of the ship last night and saw this in the distance. I have not investigated this establishment yet.”

Fixed that for you. 😀

It’s the UK, fella. Nothing to do with e-bikes tearing up the trails, just the weather. It’s like that for at least 6 months of the year in many places.

A rotor bolt will work in an emergency.

Nice ride to Cwmcarn and a lap of the Pwca trail this afternoon.

Christmas Day grub all sorted thanks to the fine folk at Firepot. 😀😉

A few older ones and my newest one.

All pivot bearings replaced <100 miles ago under warranty due to squeaks. Hope headset fitted at end of winter & new chain a few weeks ago.
Hopefully it will last me well without any problems.

Thanks, Mark.

A few marks on it but nothing to worry about. It’s a 2022 model bought in May 2023. Owner took off the stem, bars, wheels & tyres after 2 rides to fit his own. All replaced for sale, so practically new.

Yes. I didn’t want full fat.
This has Shimano EP8 motor slightly detuned for Orbea.

New (to me) bike day. 😀
I’ve gone electric. ⚡️

Misty on the hills this morning.
Lovely day for a ride nonetheless.

Pegasus Bridge, Normandy.
New and old.

Tallships in Charlestown harbour, Cornwall.

Exposure TraceR Daybright and Saddle Rail Bracket.
About £65 for both but will last for years.

Here are mine.
Gravel, hard tail, full sus & commuter/hack bike.

Normandy Day 5: Another relaxing day in Bénouville today. A little ride around doing a food shop & visit to the excellent Pegasus Bridge Memorial museum.
It’s been a great week away. 😀
A short ride up to Ouistreham & the early ferry back to Portsmouth tomorrow.

Normandy Day 4: Bayeux to Bénouville via Gold Beach, Arromanches, the British Normandy Memorial, Juno Beach, Sword Beach & Pegasus Bridge.
A really nice ride in lovely weather but plenty of thoughts of what once was and how lucky we are.

Normandy Day 3: A ‘rest day’ today. A little ride around Carentan looking for breakfast then the train to Bayeux and a visit to the Tapestry Museum and Battle for Normandy Museum.

Normandy Day 2: visits to the Crisbecq Battery, LeClerc Memorial and Utah Beach on the way from Quettehou to Carentan.
Utah Beach is lovely. It’s very sobering thinking how different it was in June 1944.
