    Yeh, i spoke to the ticket office and figured it out. My next task is to get some pedals i hated SPDs when i had them on my mtb and still prefer not to have them ideally, is there any pedals which offer decent grip, will hold the shoe in position without commiting to SPDs?

    I didnt realise the 135mm was something i needed to be aware of, so i bought some new wheels which the rear was 142mm but didnt pay attention to this. Fitted them to my bike fine but was curious as iv either dropped lucky or iv have fitted the wtong size hub

    Latest issue, I think the bike shop is looming. Iv fitted my rear mech and it keeps catching the frame, I have tried to shift it taking tension out of it to try and get it go through the cycle but no joy (+iv also fryed the cable when it got lodged in the spokes). The rear derailleur is sat in the right position but I cant seem to line it up. Any tips? (im absolutely pap at gearing)

    Right, iv lost the front mech – bought a narrow wide ring, whilst removing the front mech I couldn’t get the chain split to part (never can unless by force) this time I chewed up the link so had to remove a couple links,, since then the gears on the back wont change up like they did before I presume its because I have put more tention in, so do I need a new chain?

    All sorted now

    Iv ditched the front mech, I was toying with getting rid but because I had it I thought id fit it.

    Im going to go Single cog up from, I have race face evolve cranks when converting to a narrow wide disc what do I need to look out for when ordering?

    I did wonder what that plate was for, never had one before – or seen it so thanks, all the parts I have removed off my 5.

    Still not going to the bike shop yet,, now I know the right part im more determined

    1 – 2mm, if I tried to adjust the allen key to move the mech up anymore, the chain would sit even more on the plate

    Iv ordered some Ralphs 27.5 2.25 £15 a tyre new (cheap), will try those on – I think it will be ok – but will test when they arrive.

    I don’t plan to keep the forks for long until I upgrade to Pikes or 34`s but want to wait until I can get some new I think. All advice on here has helped so thanks in advance.

    How do mountain kings 2.2 compare with Ralph, would there be more issues with clearance?

    Jeffus, are you saying the tyre hit the crown on your 32`s?

    astura

    Wet Noodle haha! Explain? The reason I was going to use my 32`s was because I already have so no extra cost

    I thin I may be able to save myself some money potentially here :) by the looks of it my Fox stations measure to 157mm so im guessing there 150mm perfect fit for new bike. When I was looking at replacing the forks I was going to go for 34s or pikes what is the difference in performance with these against 32s?

    yeh I have some ralphs, just curious, how much clearance have you got?

    astura

    Never sold on here before tbh (I think) bought loads, so was purely advice whether it be listed on here or ebay.

    But…on the other hand you gotta grab opportunities when they come along :)

    What should I be looking for on the fork?

    “They’re not open bath (the most basic fox damper) they’re FIT so betterer. ”

    Thanks, frame and forks are both in great condition. Heli taped from day one, only a slight bit of trainer rub on frame as I have huge feet

    Personally I think the alpine seems a more solid frame. I’d prefer to either swap out the frame and forks or just sell my five and get an alpine.

    Ok thanks for that, i suppose tho – that doesnt solve the issue of more travel

    Having never been to Chatel before (only boarded at La Plagne/Stayed at Montalbert), can I link up to any of the other locations in the Potes du Solei without driving basically touring around on my board? For instance can I go from to Chatel to Morgins? I have looked at the Map on the android app and it looks like you could but having not navigated around there before any guidance appreciated?

    P.S Are the drag lifts T Bars or Buttons (pray for button)

    I have just checked my car, only recently purchased it and it has Mud and Snow tyres already fitted. Would these with a combination of chains be sufficient?

    astura

    Chains a must! Winter tyres, not essential if I have chains?

    The prince 2 passport I have been using along with the book has stepped me through. At the end of each module it gives me Q and A for that section which I haven’t done to bad with until yesterday and I completely fluffed the business case theme and the risk theme ( to be honest I thought I was ok with those ), I’m not a great reader though – my mind drifts terrible when reading but I’m getting there. The picture seems a real good idea because I believe that would help quite a bit just to keep me on track – especially with the roles. One thing Iv found already with the example Q and A questions is that those True True False False questions are a nightmare. My exam isn’t for another week now so il just cram some more, I plan to do around 7hrs a day so hoping that will be enough.
