thats the spacer I referred to
Ta muchly
I didnt get full travel with the ti spring nor the black fox, I wouldnt mind if I got 80-90% travel, but its more like 50%
Havent actually ridden it yet with black spring so just pushing down on them, but there’s virtually no sag, even with air valve removed
I didnt lop the end off the spring,yet, but would 5mm less spring get me 25% sag?
Without th spring in I get full travel
So I’m confused!!
Hopefully I can hit something large at the weekend, and test it

andy r-
did you get full travel with the black spring? was the sag normal?
did you leave the spacer on top of the spring?

great, I’ll check my updates

I did try ccleaner but its still doing it

yes, browser misbehaving. 10 second delay for typing, and facebook slowing things down

saw them yesterday in aylesbury
and theres a storm now

if the offers are right , like 6 wine for £25(which just ended in our store), a lot of folk buy lots of booze from a big supermarket chain like a**a, get it delivered free. if you know someone that works there, they get 10% off too
Though you need to cover yourself, if they suddenly get out of stock of what u want, they may try delivering you something different, or even claim to be out of stock of any wine completely.
dont count yr chickens before theyve hatched

So I found a steel one in stock.
Dont want to take the chance of having to find the regular ones again as it’s an odd size

It looks like the steel bushes need to be custom made

and I’m not sure that I can get the new low friction ones in the right size

Has anyone here NOT had problems with the bush on your old Blur XC?

I use plusnet, which uses EE.
I live in Milton Keynes and often get no signal at home , so I miss calls etc
Also I get no signal a lot when I’m driving around the countryside
I can’t say if you’d get a different connection if you have plain EE

kimbers – are you serious?
I was going for my second run on it a couple of days ago when my chain snapped, and it was late, etc

seems to be my luck with good trails. As soon as I find something that looks doable, they make it bigger or destroy it

I only found the back woods trails just before they logged there

I realise theres a couple of atms in ampthill- it’s just that they dont work
unless you’re into big jumps, I’d head for chicksands, you wont have to waste time finding everything

I worked as an IT guy at a centerparcs 2005ish, and was told that there were a lot of bike thefts.
being thetford it didnt surprise me

woburn sands trails re about 10km from centerparcs. best to get a .gpx track if you’re heading there, or someone with local knowledge.
It’s much easier to head over to chicksands for a few hours

and if you need an ATM, there’s none in Ampthill

and would you use 2rs for lower shock bearings, or LLB etc, or do wheels and frames require different seals,etc?
given that I dont want to replace them anymore than I have to

there still is no sign from the end (just after you roll ogg thet long ridge) back to the beginning, or am I blind?

there was a bit of tape on a tree just before that rooty drop…
with a sharp left

zippykona – what is that?

my non lites are a bit tight, the lites a bit loose
the lites are my favourite in thailand, its too hot there for anything else.
the lites are pretty strong considering, have lasted very well. I’d buy more if i was going back there

I was told that the cheap sauerkraut from supermarkets was not the real thing
does anyone know what kind of sauerkraut really helps gut flora?

omaknees- what year was your fox spring from?

i take doxycycline whenever I’m in malaria problem areas in asia.
I never had a problem with sensitivity to daylight from them, although I had major light sensitivity problems with a different kind of drug in europe a long timeago

that’s helped a lot already..

so what weight are you andy?
It looks like a soft(purple) would be ok for me, or maybe x-soft(black)
what year/model were the fox 36s?
I’ll measure the 55 fork leg ID later
I suspect that I have the wrong spring in my 55s, they are second hand, so I’d like to know lengths.

thanks. did the fox spring fit straight in or did you chop it?
did it work well, and was it the Ti Evo V2 version that you have?
Do you recall if it was exactly the same length as the marzocchi spring?

Is it the shaft only?

is the new part necessary expensive?
Is it the same for RP23?

I got some superstar plastics, theyre not as grippy as my nano x. I’m still getting used to them, havent tried them in the wet

In thailand the KSR (110?) was very popular, some guys like them for stunts and are really good(pirouettes on the back wheel etc. makes a lot of sense to me, they are low and easy to ride/fall off, they have a semiautomatic clutch. Not many offroad though, cos theyre not so strong I suppose.I wouldve got one for “town” if….This was before the grom came out.

I’m not sure about the grom, as some hondas like crf250L were not as solid as their kawasaki counterpart, the klx250, whereas the honda wave was an unbreakable/ride anywhere kind of scooter.Sometimes when your stuck inthe mud on a hill on your dirtbike/knobblies, a Honda Wave will go by,with a couple of hilltribe folk on

Offroad, the klx 125/140/150 are most popular with those that can afford it but dontwant a full size bike,some KLX110 dirtbikes are in there too, but there’s a massive modified step-through scooter scene,like honda waves, modified with big bores(up to 200+cc),carbs, shocks, and a bar welded from headtube to seat. They are often the biggest class in mx races with their own class, Supercup.
they have a great power/weight ratio, and are easy to lift over fallen trees/rivers etc

I’m just doing mine with the 75w90 semi synthetic gear oil

just bought a shock from someone that swore the post office wouldnt take it.
had to go to the other side of zamboanga to collect it.
couldnt finda courier to pick it up evenings either
also its £7 now to park in Avebury for half an hour for a quick walk around the stones. So I found out you cant walk up Silbury hill these days, let alone take the bike up there
Wish this post was here last week!

This is what I was referring to -posting rule
Are courts exempted from this?

offer,acceptance,and performance are what makes a contract
or is this different?

afaik , once it’s in the postbox, it’s the post office that is responsible.End of story.
Unless the law has changed in the last 30years….

5lab- if you’re breaking your 55s I could be after the stanchions

How isthe paramo sizing?

havent got a kinked link have you?

another try
A couple of my bikes, 3years ago

It would be nice to get a sportsbike or dirtbike but UK doesnt seem like a great place to ride in these days

Here’s a couple of my bikes from 3 years ago

I’d like to get another, either a sportsbike or a dirtbike

sorry if pic don’t work!!

I avoid it, havent had to watch it yet.Just not interested, especially with all the adverts, that kills it for me.
I hate adverts. Since when did real people need adverts? except to get another beer
I prefer the jungle programs

You want to use it for an adventure? Take each of the bikes into a field, lay it down and pick it up 20 times. Buy the one you don’t swear at

Rachel

what she says

I had some flat wide bars which seemed to hurt my wrists so I looked for the bars with the most backsweep, and so I got the wider Fleegles.
2 rides now and I’m very pleased with them
The angle is much better

Now if only they were half the weight….
