    205x65 shock on a prophet

    205 being a trunnion shock, might be an issue? Not sure on the width of the prophet shock mounts.

    Transition Spire

    That's a hawt bike. IMO the alloy straight tube Trannies look so much nicer than their carbon counterparts.

    Metal Working! Fitting, Machining, Welding, Sheet and General Metal Fab

    No, threaded onto the inner. So as it tightens on the thread the hose is clamped between the inner and outer. Like this fitting on my leyzne floor pump

    Mobile Phone Recommendations

    I had a cheap Huawei Chinese whispers phone as my personal phone and I was given a Samsung S21 FE by my work. The S21 FE was around the $500 mark. I don't like the Samsung phone ui compared to the Huawei ui that my personal phone had. I recently replaced the Huawei with a Motorola G84 which...
