Anyone running:

DT Swiss XM551

or

Stans Baron Mk.3?

Also Ryde rims……

Moray Monster Trails? Never ridden them, but reasonably nearby.

I’ve got 130mm Yari’s for mine.

Thanks for the replies.

Also going with purple Hope bits:

Hubs
Bottom bracket
Headset
Seatclamp
Stem (possibly)

For anyone interested, I sold it on eBay for £275.

Zero final value fees too! :)

Love this forum…..

It could be a bit of a nightmare if you can’t remove the original bushings?

Correct me if I’m wrong….

Nice bike.

If you are unsure, invest in a Thule 598 – it has a redesigned clamp which is kind to carbon, as it has a torque limiter.

SOLD for £160 for anyone interested.

Get a new bird – even sounds good ;)

Might not need new forks.

I know a bloke that got a crash replacement SC frame: 26 – 27.5 & stuck with his original forks.

Are your hubs worth building new rims on?

Might not be as expensive as you think….

It is indeed – I was there on Sunday.

Thanks sillyoldman.

3 seconds on google images proves normality.

Really? – tried that pre – post.

Still can’t find anything.

Cheers.

When I first posted up pics in August another member said that the exact same thing happened to his mates bike – same bike, cracked in the same place.

The 2016 frame now has a front mech / chain guide mount point – also strengthened the problem area I’d say….

I’ve got a 2016 Sight 7.1 – love it!

The spec is incredible for the money.

Its a Warranty replacement for my 2015 Sight 7.1 which sadly cracked :(

Fantastic.

My new steed came with Schwalbe Magic Mary up front & a Nobby Nic Mk2 out back.

It feels real nice.

X01 ‘Eagle’

Can’t see it taking off….

Teva Pivot?

Found them extemely comfortable & cheap at the moment – can be had for £40.

Can you definitely make a personal injury claim after they have fixed the bike etc?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if they offer to fix it, it may be a full & final offer?

I got knocked off my bike a few years ago & got a substantial payout through a No Win, No Fee outfit. The insurance company never once questioned the bill they supplied them with which was brand new parts replacing some 2 year old stuff.

The bulk of the payout was personal injury as I did fracture a few bones in my foot.

We go on a lads biking holiday most years.

Base ourselves in or just outside Dumfries.

That opens the door for:

Dalbeattie

Kirroughtree

Ae Forest

Mabie

We love it & always have a great time.

As for a good night scene, dare I say Dumfries? – It’s a good laugh if nothing else (Apologies to any residents) Plenty of pubs to choose from.

Hope you have a blast wherever you go.

Another vote for De-Feet Woolie Boolie

Agree with above, but said I’d post on here.

Cheers.

2016 Norco Sight C7.2:

I’ve got a pair of Aldi specials in XL.

You sure on the L?

Great job! :)

It’s on my to do list for 2016, over 3 days though…..

No.

You really think you will need 1400 lumens?

I’ve just got a Cateye Volt 800 & it’s more than bright enough for commuting.

IMO the only downside of the Solaris, not enough tyre clearance… :(

I just pulled mine off, turning at the same time.

Most of the above advice wouldn’t be much good if you have carbon bars…..

Bookmarked.

I bought a new 2015 Norco Sight 7.1 Carbon at the end of July this year.

2nd run on it, the seat tube cracked:

I’m currently awaiting delivery of a 2016 as a replacement.

They have ‘changed’ the frame for this year, by adding a front mech / chain guide mount:

It was until that point the best bike I’ve ever ridden.

Can wait to get the new one….

Well done!

Best not show my daughter this…..

Looks nice & great spec for the money.

Win, win.

Handlebars up.

I had brake & Reverb issues storing my mtb vertically on a hook.

Something to bare in mind….

nipples are a pain

You can get cream for that…..
