Thanks rusty 8)

What inside leg are you?

As long as I've got the standover, I might be better with a medium then and just fit something like a 70mm stem.

Really impressed with how quickly you got them to me, bearing in mind i'm not living in mainland UK 8)

Thanks again.

Just to give thebikechain a BIG thumbsup!!!!!!

My Hope adjusters arrived this morning complete with a free sweet and some chamois butter 8)

The sweet tasted fantastic, although the chamois butter left a bit if a funny after taste :lol:

I've got a Brooks B17 on my Hewitt touring bike and it took around 2000 miles of daily use and copious amounts of dubbin to get comfy.

Even after putting 1000's of miles on it, it's only as comfy as the Fizik Gobi on my Obed.

I've really only kept it on as an older look saddle suits the Hewitt more.

We unfortunately had a fatality on the Isle Of Man yesterday and the TT races don't even start until next weekend :-(

Isle Of Man Today

Once the TT starts there are usually quite a few crashes over the 2 weeks :-(

It's ever so slightly mad 8O

I would tap an equivelent torx head with a hammer into the hole that has been made… and undo the bolt with that.

This works really well and is the easiest and quickest way to do it.

Sheep nearest to camera shouting "GET DOWN YOU FOOL!!!!!!!!" 8O lol

I've just been told £90 by a local dealer, although I've only got one quote so far.

£90 might be really dear :?

I'm having to work a night shift unfortunately :(

My missus has went to visit her brother for the week and taken the dog with her so i'm all on my todd.

Tonight the plans are Amstel, a BBQ for one , Kick Ass and The Road on DVD and mabye the Michael Moore film from last night

Am I the biggest loser?

At least you're losing in style :lol:

I've been asleep most of the day, as i'm on night shifts at the mo :-(

I slept out in the back garden in a nice shaded bit though, so it isn't all bad 8)

Unfortunately our boy died on monday, but at least he went looking smart

Sorry to hear your sad news :-(

That's really awful.

I've got a Springer as well, and I can imagine how you're feeling :-(

I take boy our dogs to get groomed at the same time and they charge me £30 for the pair as they I wash them before I go. They just have to groom them and trim nails then.

If I wanted them to wash the dogs as well, they would charge £20.00 per dog.

Maybe they all got caught short :-)

Something that big usually needs planning permission.

But the Ancient Monument status should cover it.

lol 8)

That's lovely 8)

hi

weve not got one but you'd need the circlip as well….i can get one for you by wednesday…

I'm sorted now, just wanted to say a BIG thankyou for such a quick response from everyone 8)

It's such a shame that they don't still make stuff like that

Cool, I'll paypal you now :-)

To confirm, it's £5.00 for each adjuster?

thebikechain – Member
come as singles as far as the page says. i will get 4 anyway as we will no doubt get through them soon enough.

£5 posted ok for you? it's not cheap but then i suppose it is a wee item and has fiddly machines etc.

That's perfect.

Say I call the shop tomorrow or Monday to pay?

romster – Member
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice service!!!

+ 1 :-)

If the come in one's, I'll order two 8)

thebikechain – Member

No thanks, the adjuster will be cool :-)

Do they come as a pair or in one's?

thebikechain – Member
Want me to order it now for you? I can do it via hope b2b.

Should be with us on wed and out to you for thursday. is that soon enough?

That'll be perfect :-)

is it HBSP219 you need?

Sorry for the late rely to you all, I've only just got free to get on the forum :(

The HBSP219 is the part i'm after.

I've already got the circlips, so it's just the adjuster :-)

Christ, don't cut it as above. MTBing history – nice.

It does look fantastic and maybe it is a shame to cut it :oops:

Onzadog – Member
That should work, although to test it, I'd slip a spacer on the stem rather than cut the steerer down.

Good idea 8)

I've got some spacers in the garage.

Onzadog – Member
I assumed you'd got the fork crown and headset to go with it. In which case, it would work in whatever frame you put the cups into wouldn't it?

I've got a bolt in crown on my RC35 fork and it should work with a standard ahead headset.

It should just be a case of trimming the steerer 2mm short of the required length, then fitting the Head Doctor at the bottom of the steerer.

Crell – Member
errr…thats for a RC100 with the custom headset. DON'T cut it PLEASE as there aren't many of those around and it would be a total waste. Sell it on Retrobike then get one of the later pace stems.

Do your bit for humanity

I'm feeling guilty now!!!! :|

Can the weather Gods and the work's rota people not compare notes every once in a while so I get glorious sunny weather on a day off?

+ 1 :cry:

No yet, but I'm working later on tonight and will have to watch folks out in town enjoying themselves :(

At least I'm out and about though an not stuck in an office 8)

It should be easy to fit, all being well.

It'll seem a bit strange having the Hope Head Doctor at the bottom on the steerer :lol:

Makes the stem look really clean and simple 8)

That's cool 8)

I'll try it on the left :D

I'd love to get hold of an RC45 stem :D

That would finish it off a treat 8)

angryratio – Member
Can't believe someone would'nt know what it is .. *pace*

Think it's an age thing lol

A few of the lads I get out on the bikes with didn't know what it was!!! 8O

Although they didn't even know who Herbold, Tinker, Furtado, Tomac, McRoy, Missy, Baker, Gould were!!!!!!!! 8O 8O 8O

That's nice. I like the Eddie Irvine (?) Pace forks.

Spot on, they are the Irvine edition 8)

jason mcroy's tasty red custom specialized hardtail was once described by a child as like a clown's bike, due to the multiple colours going on. wonder what made me think of that…

it is pretty nice, tbf.

It is a bit multi-coloured :lol:

I'm just awaiting some black cable outers, black Hope headset and black handlebars to tone it down a bit 8)

I then just dry it off with a microfibre cloth and use Mr Sheen to shine it up.

Holy crap, really?

I daren't go overboard then and tell you that I only use the flowery Mr Sheen so I'm at one with nature when I'm out 8) lol
