Without wishing to cast aspersions, a lot of the current hoo-hah about swine flu leads me to suspect that there&#39;s a certain amount of bluster and guesswork going on.

Out for rather longer than ten minutes as I wanted to try some different things. You&#39;ll all be pleased to know that this time I successfully negotiated the corner that I crashed on first time out, so I&#39;m putting the crash down to the loose stem and not my ineptitude <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>The bike does like to go downhill, more so than I do - a couple of time I found myself going a little faster than I would have liked and faster than I would have on the inbred. With such a slack head angle and long forks, the steering is definitely more relaxed than I&#39;m used to and a couple of times I had the foot out of the pedals and dabbing on the ground before the steering bit and took me round.</p> <p>Made sure I did a climb too, nothing hugely technical, but the bike coped with it fine. the 75mm stem that&#39;s gone on to replace the 90mm stem seems ok length wise - on the first ride I found I was trying to push myself back in the saddle, as though the bike was too short, but I didn&#39;t notice any of that this time - maybe I&#39;m getting used to it?</p> <p>Out for a longer ride tomorrow, will post the feedback (and any pics I can persuade friends to take) on a new thread. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mrs-nbts-got-swine-flu/page/2#post-576022 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:24:42 +0000 nbt 576022@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Bump. New bars and stem fitted, brake hose replaced and brakes bled (again!), out for another ten minute sping to check it out and shake it down.

SHe&#39;s currently catching up on on 74 zillion episodes of Friends that she&#39;s got on series record.</p> <p>In other news, the bikes is built and working, I&#39;ve spent the evening in the garage replacing brake hose - both hoses on there were slightly too short, which is annoying as I&#39;d only bled the brakes on Friday</p> <p>Anyway the front is done as I had a spare hose from my old z150s, but I need to do the back hose - anyone got 130cm of 6mm hose for hope minis? My LBS doesn&#39;t have any 6mm hose left, only 5mm or braided. If not I&#39;ll have to use 5mm hose and get new fittings. I also need new shifters as the deore shifters on there are falling to bits. Bought a 75mm oversize stem and matching bars, only to find on getting home that the bars are not oversize, so back to the LBS in the morning - luckily it&#39;s only across the road.
