As usual 7:00 at the end of coxford rd.
yup.
Yep, will be there
Yes looking forward to it, might be up for a early loop as well, got to work like a demon the rest of the afternoon!!
Dave I will txt you if I look like I am going to be able to get away.
Yeap will be there
Not for me again...
6:45pm last Thursday (when I left home, LW bound) my bike's lack of use made itself known.. Main pivot bushing is completely knackered and KS dropper now has mind of it's own.
I started swapping bits back onto my Soul frame but haven't finished it yet.
Anyone know someone reputable in Soton area who can do Nicolai bushings/axles?
Just finished work in Admirals Quay so I'm going to take a slow drive over and use the spare time to try and stop the top bit of my Joplin coming all the way out when I put it back up...
Andy, when I had my Nicolai i had all the bearings and bushings from psyclewerx in Bristol.
I think there is a UK Importer now so you can probably get everything from there.
edit: here you go

there is also a bit on there about tightening up the bearings as they are adjustable. may be worth a go.
Yehp
Thanks Rich, Nicolai UK sell the parts but not sure who to send the frame to fit them properly (I have a brass drift and a hammer at home but don't want to risk it myself)... I'll try Psyclewerx as they appear to still sell Nicolai frames
Enjoy the dust!
EDIT: to acknowledge your edit... I already tried adjusting it, but there's still play in the main pivot and upper linkage pivot (the other's seem OK though)
Andy you can borrow my simple if you want
Ian, thanks very much for the offer but I'm going to spend this evening finishing the Soul rebuild, I won't get time this weekend... house hunting has started!
Pah. Just ride it, rear shock bush on the Bandit is pretty rattly but Mojo sent me the wrong size replacement, still riding it, reasoned that you can't break something that's already broken...
.....and now your frequent loss of control starts to make sense!
HAHAHA... no, I'm just shit on a bike! although, to be fair, I've never felt as confident on the Helius as I did on my Soul
Matt, it would be hard to just ride it now, it's in bits!
I will be playing at the Bike Park for long enough to hurt my ankle and then meeting you lot for a beer.
Anyone bringing a cake for the birthday boy?
