Yes the top “+” airvalve is removed so remember to exhaust air BEFORE you remove valve.
IIRC its something like 25-27mm. Take care when removing because the o ring can get caught in the stancion threads

I fill to 45mm from stancion lip. Put a mark on the long allan key and use like a dipstick :-)

Yes, try on one, crc and hope. Probably lot more out there

Andrewj, I see you also live in Gods pocket :D

Crickhowell black mountain killer loop

awesome ride. But start of Mynydd Llangorse can get chewed up in wet weather.

Andrewj, just trying to let OP know that there’s a lot more to Wales than Afan. The natural trails in the Beacons far outclass the trail centers, but local knowledge is essential

Whatever you decide, just enjoy being out on your bike 8)

I find Cwmcarn a lot harder mainly due to all the extra little efforts to get up round the tree stumps. Legs are shot on climb after the picnic area with the pig totam pole. Its the only trail center climb I don’t seem able to clean :oops:

I would ring back, personally, thats because I think insurance is a home for weasels!

Goto Brechfa and do the “Gorlech” red, but just before the final decent follow the signs for the “Raven” black route. When you get back to final decent of the Gorlech you can finish off.
Best of Wales, and not too busy either.

i have a set on the NRS, they good for the price, had them for three years and they still running sweet 8)

Peters every time

Honestly not having a go at anyone, just apologizing to everyone who has experienced bad postpersons.
The majority of colleagues I work with are good. But you will, as with all jobs, get the fat waddling twonks

Yep, I get grumpy in hot weather.
Cannot cope with it at all, nearly shot my foot off on the ranges in Cyprus, defo made me more grumpy.

There you go, I’m feeling the love now. :-)

Do 80 ish all the time with them no problem

Sorry you have bad posties , but there are many good ones out there.

On one

Its on a phone contract, 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 50Gb data.
I use a HTC wildfire s out and about, when upgrade was available didn’t want a new phone so had the tablet as a free gift and an unlocked cheapo phone I can use for fishing, where orange is a better signal.
And the tablet for sofa surfing.
Wasn’t trying to say it was a good deal, but works for me, and it’s a good tablet IMO :-)

Had them on the avids, binned them and used split pins. Lot easier on the trails :-)

They do work :-)

Never tried this before hope they come through
start of 2 miles of downhill
Tal-y-Bont reservoir

Motorola xoom 2. Got one on o2 contract from car phone warehouse £32 per month/24 month :-)

I used my avid’s once and then shortened hose and brake fluid was black.
Would be nice to hear if anyone else has found the same with new brake sets

Healing vibes

I use a 500 Gb Toshiba HDD bout £50 from Comet/Currys/PC world.
Stores all my music and photos.
Used to work in Japaese electronics industry, Toshiba was quite a good brand.
As everything is assembled in China now it’s a bit samey samey now

Wouldn’t life be a bit boring if we didn’t have the “Troll or not Troll” question.
Maybe we should appoint a Troll Finder General :wink:

Is it mineral or DOT 4, and how long ago was it changed last.
Had to shorten the hose on a new set of Avid Elixir couple weeks ago, DOT 4 that came out was cack

Thoroughly dry the caliper, put a strong elastic band around lever and bars overnight and see if any fluid is forced out. This should show up any leak

Try taking the pads out work the pistons out a shade (technical term) spray liberally with silicone lube, work pistons back in,clean as much lube off as possible. Repeat in needed and hopefully sorted :-)

Git!

Dirtiest, greasiest kabab going. But no salad, “I ain’t no wabbit”

I brought a bearing replace kit from giant through LBS for a NRS cost about £30, loads of bolts and mandrels.
Fits loads of bikes, try any giant dealer, if they don’t stock, which is more than likely, ask them to order. Any good shop will.

2006 giant nrs

Car stickers “100% BITCH” always wanted to change the ” i ” for a ” u “.
And see how long they drive round like that :-)

DIY, if you want it done or pay the £300 if you want it pretty

Ripped the skin off my knee on the road part of the Gap, knee full off crap kidney infection a week later, pi**ing blood night sweats and just felt like death’ not even warmed up :(

No, it’s definitely black
