Where to get Manitou Circus axle bolt?

Where to get Manitou Circus axle bolt?

It’s for an older manitou circus pro. It came without this bolt. Anyone know where i can get one?

To get tension in the meantime i used a bolt-on QR skewer and a top cap and it seems to be ok?!!! Is that super unsafe?!

Harwell pump track

Wren (6) me (43) and Ru (12) on the new pump track in Harwell, Oxfordshire. Great spot, four good tables with a steeper and a mellower lip, with a little flow trail as well. Ru got his first x up.

More of a jump track than a pump track. Good vibes and nice locals.

Made by Ox Trails and volunteers too, massive kudos to them because free facilities like this build communities. ❤️

Low stack stems

Bought a manitou circus. Didn’t get the steerer measurement. Too short.

Too short right?

What are my options? Is it the DMR one?

Edit: got the DMR Defy stem. Will update when it comes to say if it solved the issue. Won’t be riding it like this btw. Thank you all for your help.

Headset bearing nightmare

I have an FSA no.8 headset on my dirt jump bike. One ball is gone. I can’t find any direct replacements.

Can i drop in a sealed cartridge? If so, which one?

Also is it safe to ride missing one ball?

New frame 👍 Saracen cr2

Been working with an old Charge Blender frame which i really liked but always felt a bit different to a real actual DJ. Picked this frame up for 100 quid and moved all my parts across. New chain and chainring. Currently battling with the QR rear wheel in the drop outs so could be new wheel time.

Saracen CR2
Pike u-turns mostly locked out
United 30t chainring
Whatever other bits i found cheap 😊

Saracen CR2 chainring

Looking to buy this Saracen cr2 but it comes with 25t chainring. I like a heavier gear so looking to do 32/12 or minimum 30/12.

Do you think there is space to get 32t on this? Or 30t as a backup? Haven’t bought it yet and i can’t ask the guy to measure.

Low end theory

Posted both of these at some point but this is our father-son semi-budget combo.

Mine:
Charge blender
Argyles

His:
Mongoose fireball
Pike 426 u-turn

Total value probably less than a proper set of pike DJ 😆

My 12 year old yesterday. Someone from here (thanks Chris!) let him try some forks and he liked them. Hes not done the step up jump before so that became the focus for the day really.

I didn’t do a lot of riding everything there is massive haha!

Wanted to share my 6yo kids DJ. It’s a Commencal Ramones mtb but we stripped the gears off, single speeded it and now it’s flying. The suntour fork actually works really well, preload makes it go from soft and pliable to stiff and jumpy really easy. Not super light but my kid is sending it.
