Can’t stick Bono – ’nuff said:

All the decent QR ones I have seen go slightly over centre.

What does that mean?

‘Could I even try contact Giant direct and asking for one?’

What’s the worst that could happen?

Brant – what you want to do is corner the market by designing such a clamp! 😉

Email spesh asking them if they can sell you the same clamp as on the stumpy in a different size? If it’s a standard part they’ll have loads of them probably to fit various bikes.

Have tried that before for a road bike clamp I split – no joy.

Will send them a mail then.

Assuming they can’t help – anyone know of such a clamp. (Having had a Salsa Flip Lock, it’s not a patch on the stock Spesh clamp.)

This version – yes.

This version – no!

But for me it has to be:


As you were..

Me too – assuming you don’t mind another body crashing in…

Sooty, that’s what I understand about the Maestro system too.

I know, I rock!

andym – how often have you had 6 people all transferring money into your PayPal account without prior agreement?

Not once I bet!
Now all sing it after me:

Money is King – Dibs don’t mean a thang!!!

If Friday is A&A day, can Tuesday be B&B day?

(Use your own imagination to apply a theme for each letter) 😉

Will have a tinker when I get home, but the shop said they would replace the who thing FOC with another in the next couple of days if I wanted.

If I can get headest sorted, I may just ask them to swap the rear mech hanger and left crank arm, rather than go through the hassle of packaging it all back up again.

Nodrog – please interpret for the idiots – how do you check the headset tension?

Not got a Phil & Teds, but the only (type of) thing that works on our bridle ways is a Jogging Stroller with 16″ wheels – and even that is tough sometimes.

(It wouldn’t work round the shops though, we have a McClaren fold up buggy for that.)

£30 VGC from eBay!

Thanks guys, think I’ll invest in a set and see how it goes.

I have a Salsa Flip Lock, nice – but I prefer the action on the Hope.

Didn’t check ING, must’ve been one of the few I didn’t, but found M&S to be head and shoulders better and cheaper than the rest. Ideal for bikes and such goods.

Tried a PayPal claim, but it’s just over the 45day claim limit.

GeeTee, my wife’s a slim, leggy blonde and the sight of her in Uggs and a short denim skirt is something to behold.

[GLOAT] BTW, before I conjure up the image of an ‘Essex Girl’, she’s also a IT Project Manager with 2 Masters Degrees – one in I.T. and another in Biomedicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology [/GLOAT]

I’m sure eBay is full of fakes, but HTF do you know the boots in question are fakes?

CK – Didn’t say it was. Just thought if they were a genuine pair of Uggs with a receipt from a registered business – they would have to honour the claim.

Johnners – that’s a WHOLE other issue! 😉

Seller not responding to emails/phonecalls.

For skin smooth as a babies derriere:

As you were.

Just ordered – see how it goes.

Crazy – agree with much of what you’ve said.

As the father of a 1 year old little girl, this makes me feel sick in my stomach.

Sorry, now in the chat forum!

Norbar SLO – end of thread!

I was hoping for things like mats and a servicing package at least!

lol @ Project! 🙂

Must be doing something wrong. Put my number in the following format +4407*** etc. but it said “Note: We currently don’t support sending SMSes to this number. You may still verify your phone and update Twitter, but we’ll never send you a message.”

What am I doing wrong?

Before you do: http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/help-whats-wrong-with-my-car

The guy sounds leggit to me.

Easy to check, if you wanted to.

Spent weeks researching on that question last summer.

Best prices, great service, job done.

I’ve read literally hundreds of posts online with folk experiencing hte same problem. Pretty disgraceful of Ford, if you ask me.

On taking it to another garage to get fault codes read. Would they show up elsewhere if Ford’s diagnostic check can’t find them?

CONK – They did say they thought it was most likely the cam sensor too. (£75, they are claiming.)

Done a bit of a ring to a few local garages I use and it seems I could cut those prices in half. Trouble is I won’t throw money at it if they can’t identify the problem it shows when it just cuts out.

The car is prob only worth £2500 and I have about $4000 of finance outstanding.

Right, car update (for those following the fun and games)

Just spoke to the Ford Garage, who have just finished a full diagnostic on my car.

Any guesses what they found?

Anybody?

Yup. You guessed it. **** All!

They say it looks fine from the computer readout. Well if you call a car that turns itself completely off 15 times in a day and a half, usually while doing 50-60 mph on the motorway, fine. Then I guess it would be tip top!

(Seriously depressed)

They said they suspect a camshaft sensor (£75) and said they would take it our over the weekend with the computer hooked up and drive it till it happened again, so we’ll see what that brings.

They also told me other stuff that they found. Does any of this lot sound expensive to you?

(Price include parts, labour & VAT)

Dip headlight bulb – £22
Rear axle bushes – £186
Handbrake cable seized – £190
2 x new rear hubs £587
