So I need to keep taping a bit more, the only way I can get this tyre up is by using Co2 will it really knacker the fluid?

No good for pinch flats tho :wink:

I couldn’t even get it to sit. I covered the inside of the rim with gorilla tape, do i still need to leave the inside slightly showing some metal for the tyre to sit? So basically just cover the bottom of the inside of the rim where the rim tape usually covers?

Thanks. When putting the tape in do you completely cover the inside of the rim with leccy tape/gorilla tape or just part of it?

Iv found out my bearings are Kpax5 but still can’t find tool

Number 2.

They were completely fine before but I hadn’t put them through that level of pressure,, it’s weird because the front stopped but then I had to re-adjust the lever to get it kind of working again.

The rear on the other hand the lever seemed to stiffen up quite a bit at the bottom.

Strange but keen to get it sorted

Brilliant :)

Lol good advice

Thread over, so far he has got back to mr

It’s not the xbox – i had great service from him, il give it another few days if not il see if anyone knows the guy to help push it

i have a shifter just need the Zee rear mech, which model do I go for?

Hi Gary, did you get my mail?

Yeh that would be great, just started looking on eBay. Let me know what your after and il ping the funds over :)

Can you get a 9 with a clutch?

how bout an XT shifter?

thanks – iv ordered the bit :)

me = absolutely no idea!

Thanks, I presume there are others I can go for if I wanted to push the boat out and £15!

Done, deleted cookies history – now came back..im a berk

ignore this rubbish idea

no bath

my other one had one on, this one didn’t – I thought it was something that came with them, some sort of guide to getting them level

sorted and free aswell!, spoke to a guy from ATB on the phone and he was unable to help – however as I said at the beginning of the thread I had sent an email. ATB got back to me and sent me a Whyte QR lever and Whyte Cog Nut thing free – completely sorted out. Result!

The Whyte one has a shim within the clamp which plugs a whole in the frame and sits directly onto the seatpost

Local dealer cant help, and ATB say it doesn’t exist – the fixed clamp is the only one they do – so I cant QR with my existing clmap and it doesn’t look like Whyte do a clamp with the shim that will work :(:(

I rang ATB but they said I had to go through my local dealer,, downside is dealer 30miles away, other wise I would of called in, iv sent an email tho

light sorted

so cheap my wallet barely opens :D,, not bothered too much about the cable. I have a decent front Volt700 or something like that, so its just something for when I have turned my bars and looking in same direction

Its a strange one,, i think the easy way out of it is to drop the saddle to the floor, but im keen to not have to keep using a QR to drop my post and ue the reverb for what its used for, so i will definetly take a look at my shock.

Its the jumps and the big drops that concern me more than anything at the moment, i was at revolution a few months ago and got bucked to a point that my stomach was on my saddle and i was supermaning down a shute!
Went to BPW on Saturday and didn’t want to do some of the drops purely because i was expecting to get bucked, managed some but clipped the saddle a few times.

I have got 160mm forks up front so you would think that would make the angles slighty lower at the rear but i would say iv got 4-5inchs of reverb sticking out the seattube at the mo to make it comfy for the XC bits.

Worth a try, i never mess with my rear shock, I have no idea how its set, interesting to see what I have it set as, I pressume I would want it to return slower?

Not sure how I would adapt style

I don’t think s the suspension, because something I can feel myself when jumping or dropiing having to get over the back of the seat

ahh ok, looks like I need to spend then :)

Is it easy to find? Any maps

As far as needed I suppose, what u got?

Good advice, iv heard the pikes are great forks plenty times but still always been more drawn to fox, what benefit did you find from upgrading from 36s from 34s?

I would probably want to do some of the air voltage stuff aswell,, iv no doubt I could do it on mine – but I know unless I land everything perfect,, which wont happen,, im thinking is there something more of a beast which would cater for all?
