don’t have the roost but long time owner of a swoop.

finishing quality is superb and the looks (recent attractive full suss build thread aside) are pleasing on the eyes.

I’d love a roost and keeping my eyes open for a used one

tempting

head to les houches or further down to servoz for some cracking trails. can always catch the train back up the valley to cham

i have a starling and think it’s quite, quite pretty.

so bums to you that don’t

nope.

it was crap then and it’ll be crap now.

i just a set of goblin cranks on my trail bike, I’ve tried to break them but they’re more reliable than the hope ones i hoofed in the bin after the chainring kept undoing itself!

cost £36 all in, cranks/chainring/bb/post

yes!

great idea, thanks 

I’ve got a pattern for a chalk bucket i want to give a try

dost thou meanest a standard hugger or the gravel un?

I’m interested to learn about photography, this thread has already made me look at other features within my phone’s camera.

i asked about dslrs which has only ended up displaying my ignorance really as I’ve only just started looking.

never heard of bridge cameras before and they do seem like a good choice.

animals being birds mainly, I’ve found my phone doesn’t do well with zooming in for better images of hovering birds of prey.

I’ve been looking at the d3200 so far but from what I’m hearing using my phone would be better?

sorry mate 🤪

that does look very familiar!

the gloves are on my riding buddies hands, I’ve suggested that they need changing 😂

I’ve heard 54 is the new 18 😀

I’m happier on blades but are quads better for throwing shapes

the front lockring thread has the same depth.

I’ve gone with the ‘breaking forces mainly through the spline so glue the bugger on’ with an untightenede ring approach for now. 

thanks for your help folks.

can’t believe a whole hub is for the bin for want of a 2mm piece of metal thread.

 

my next question would be, is there a variation in lockring depths? had a quick scout about but nothing leaping out at me.

unfortunately yes

the lockring is still intact but the top 2mm of the hub thread has sheared off.

i can put the disc on the splined but because of how it all fits together, usually it’s lockring/spacer/rotor if i put the original spacer on there’s not enough thread on the hub for the lockring to engage. what I’ve done is put 2 cassette spacers in place of the original spacer which then allows the lockring to bite the few remaining threads on the hub.

I’ve actually now, glued the rotor on, taken bike for a ride and I’m not dead…yet. I’ll keep an eye on it but as the hub is fecked anyway a bit of glue won’t make it worse, can’t really afford a new hub at the mo. :(

thanks for listening!

it’s an alfine 11 hub so needs the spacers to clear the locknut

disc back on splined part then 1 large, 1 paper cassette spacer then the lockring. 

thread sheared on the hub.

bloody centrelock rubbish

why is no one talking about the potato type?

Vivaldi’s are amazing, they’re not called the self buttering potato for no reason.

just bake in the oven, no need for oil or seasoning. simple and pure.

as for mcains? grief. wonders never cease.

had a similar quality issue with a troy lee. wouldn’t bother with mips now, ill just try to land ona my face when i crash, probabaly slide better that way

yes we’re in. me, ma wife and twin 10yr olds 

thanks for the advice.

we’ve decided to catch the train from edale, it’ll add to the adventure.

@sharkattack that’s very kind of you, may take you up on the offer at another time.

sliding around Dyfi.

great larks

wet. as it always is. but fun

its to deal with the cup that sits on towball not tightening enough.

the rack is old and this happens to stradas apparently.

moel siabod is a fun scramble, low grade but this can be tweaked by choosing harder lines on the way up.

the summit view on a clear day is arguably the best in Snowdonia

ffs been on this forum for over 20yrs, still don’t know how to add photos

erased my memories and cache, shame as i had some fun ones

needless to say it still doesn’t work?

is it still a ritual goat sacrifice after 11pm as a back up?
