At first obviously I was a tad angry and disappointed. The LBS have assured me that it's nothing structural and that Trek warranty is excellent should it (though it probably never will) develop into something nasty.<br /> Aesthetically it's not bothering me at all, I'd happily ride off on it tomorrow if I knew for certain that it was fine. It's just that it's my first carbon frame. I have got the bike for a good price and they have offered me a further £50 off. I said I'd call them back Monday when I've had time to think about it, I may get a refund, though I am still tempted to get it.<br /> <img src="http://karlos.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/i-GKqZ4Qq/0/M/smugshot3189230-M.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/short-travel-full-suspension-frames-available-as-frame-only#post-3462293 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:34:21 +0000 letmetalktomark 3462293@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>What would you consider if looking for the above.</p> <p>Thinking XC based max 100mm travel.</p> <p>Would need to be available as frame only. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/recommend-me-somewhere-nice-to-stay-in-north-yorkshire#post-3462322 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:40:55 +0000 binners 3462322@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Alrighty you lot.

The stated economy for this car from various sources is 51mpg (up to 58mpg).<br /> I have seen 'real world' figures mentioned on one site of 45mpg combined, but this was a slightly different model.</p> <p>The car has only covered 23k, drives extremely smoothly and pulls well. From what I can tell there are no mechanical or fuelling problems or symptoms.</p> <p>Should we be getting more or is this just a very disappointing turbo diesel with inflated mpg advertising?<br /> What should I check for?</p> <p>It doesnt sound much, but If it were acheiving 50mpg id be very happy with the car as a whole. As it stands, 40mpg is niggling away and persuading me to drop a load of cash and trade for something else. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/rugby-6-nations#post-3338702 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:47:17 +0000 TandemJeremy 3338702@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Is it too early? How is your team shaping up? any predictions?</p> <p>Scotland - underachieved at the world cup, as fairly settled pack thats pretty much a match for anyone.

Several young players putting their hands up for a place but none of them really shone in the recent derby games. Cussitor looking in form now but Laidlaw has been playing a blinder at both 9 and 10.

(Can we ignore all the arguments about the quality of music recorded on an iPod and the lack of quality from DAB please!)</p> <p>Come down to two different approaches, about the same amount of cash. A Vita r2i - which is a single box with a docking station on top and integrated speakers - and a Denon DM38 - which has separate speakers.</p> <p>Both come recommended in reviews, however does anyone have any real world experiences of either. I have listened to both and for where I am going to use it they both will sound good.</p> <p>(And before any one else can chip in, I already have access to internet radio via the laptop!) </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-little-used-slx666-brakes-and-fox-f120-rl-forks#post-3461127 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:21:12 +0000 mundiesmiester 3461127@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Breaking a couple of nearly new bikes<br /> First up is a set 2010 F120rl pulled off a bike that was ridden five times, stanchions are spotless, and very, very few marks on it, 195mm steerer - £250 posted<br /> <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/35imwk7.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/zof6n4.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/eimduc.jpg"><br /> Set of SLX666 pulled off a new bike ridden 15 dry miles - front is 850mm and rear 1300mm in original boxes and with good used 180mm 6 bolt rotors - £120 posted<br /> <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/2wdwxw1.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/53tqh0.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/weeride-kangeroo-bike-seat#post-3459184 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:39:04 +0000 alba23 3459184@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Anybody use one? What bikes will they not work with. Some of the user reviews we have looked at say it didn't fit there bike. Want it to fit a Marin east peak(2008) and an orange alpine(2010). Prob not the best bikes for it I no but would rather use them than build up the hard tail in he shed. </p>
