    I’m running the XT M8000 boost cranks with an Absolute Black 32t oval, XT 11-46 cassette and KMC sl chain. Works perfectly.

    Worth an upgrade from an 800?

    Give Granary Cycles a call, they sometimes have frames at a good price and they sell the C’s as frame only. I got a CC Hightower off them for £2k

    Never got any iSpec bolts when I’ve bought E4 brakes. Nothing weird about the bolt head, I just got the nut and bolt from a local shop for 50p. The bolt was M18 as opposed to M16 so needed a washer.

    Don’t see anything wrong with a bit of 0% finance. Even if I had the money to buy outright I’d still finance it and keep the money in my bank.

    Biketreks might have one. It lets you add one to the basket anyway. But for £300 more I’d probably go for a new alu Bronson

    Lols at the Enve owners with X2 envy!

    Pro Tip: with the cash you would have saved going with some carbon wheels from the likes of Blue Flow Bikes you could have bought an four X2’s (and had a spare Monarch)

    I didn’t pay much more than Blue Flow money for my Enves :-)

    I went for the 51mm offset and 140mm in the end. I know what you’re saying about the Float X2 hughjayteens :-)

    Broke mine 11 weeks ago, along with other things, and was told it was a nice break and would heal on its own. Went for my outpatients appointment 10 days later at my local hospital and was told it was a real mess and would need screwing and plating. Might be worth getting a second opinion.

    Cheers. Don’t know if I’m just over thinking it. I’ve ordered 51mm but read a couple of things since that suggest 46mm may be the way to go. I’m not sure if I’d even notice the difference between the two. :-)

    By the way what travel did you opt for?

    @jambalaya

    Yes you have misread my ad completely. That’s for a Nomad frame, which is now sold, I now have a complete Solo CC for sale for £2300 which I have yet to list. Thanks

    Santa Cruz 5010c and as luck would have it I’m selling one for a lot less than £3k :-)

    If you’ve got Sky the women’s race is on channel 477 and the men’s is on 473

    Do the cheaper builds come with an “inferior” carbon frame, a la Santa Cruzs C and CC?

    yeah

    Is it worth who bothering, Sky? All they have to do is flick a switch to put your tv back on. Any money is better than no money for them

    Looks like they’ve removed it now. :(

    Cancelled ours last week and they’ve called twice a day everyday since but I’ve just let it ring out. General consensus over on Hot UK deals is to hold out and they will give you a 75% discount eventually.

    I work for a recruitment agency supplying class 1 drivers and we won’t use anyone who uses an umbrella scheme. The drivers are either PAYE or Ltd in their own right.

    Terrible!! Had a big off on Saturday, airlifted to hospital. Broken collarbone, 5 ribs, 2 bones in my spine and a punctured lung. Should be going to Morzine next Sunday for a week, obviously that ain’t happening. Pissed off would be an understatement :(
