Have had the large bottle on order with tweeks for over a month!
Last email from them says another 4 weeks!

Hopefully what I have will last til then.

In a class of his own at the moment.
Would of been good to see the point when he dropped Tempier though, and a shame Fumic had the mechanical early on.

Can’t see anyone beating him in Cairns either!

Leave one in the tool.

Was a bit of mud about up on the fells yesterday, was in up to the bars!

I killed two fuel Freehubs in 3 months, the replacement electro hub has done approx 5 months so is an improvement so far.

Bolt

@ Wallop, what issues did you have with insure & go?

Cheers

If the freehub has failed, check to make sure the axle is not bent as mine was on both occasions.

Bolt

Not good in my experience, I broke two freehubs in the space of four months,both times the land better the pawls broke off.
Can’t fault superstars service though. The second time it went back they replaced it with a different hub.

Cheers

As above
Keep undercarriage clean
Use chamois cream
If I get sore I use metanium (nappy rash cream)
Put clean dry shorts on every day, if you only have a couple of pairs use hand wash.
I also find it helps using different makes of shorts as the pad will be slightly different.

You can buy diy kits

Just to piss you off sat having dinner on the terrace whist posting this! Mark and Jacky say hi.

Sun has been out and looking forward to riding danger of death and Arthur ScarGill tomorrow!

Bad part is got to go home on Saturday.

We are definitely the best group this week

Bolt

Had an internal performance transfer for a couple of weeks and evening was great till today’s ride.
The post has started feeling rough/sticky when going down, tried some juice lube but not any better.
It returns fine, obviously unloaded though.
Anyone else had similar?
Worth trying some slick honey?

Cheers

Rock n Roll extreame (blue one) most of the year.
Squirt wax in summer (if we get one).

Juice lube on the forks.

Up high street from Brothers water, down n around edge of Ullswater.
Mate had a slight technical!

But a great trail bodge and he finished the ride!

As above found SCS very helpful.

Bolt

I have one near preston you can borrow?

Bolt

Think one of these would be good but sadly no longer produced.

Just had a freehub and axle changed under warrenty, and they couldn’t have been more helpful.
Very quick replies to email as well.

I was sent a shipping label for ups to return the wheel

Bolt

Castle Point is very good.

I bought a kit like this to repair the swing arm on my zesty.

http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/starter-kits/carbon-fibre-rapid-repair-kit.html

Was still fine after 18 months (now just another un – loved 26″ frame)

As above just a straight swap on a mtb hub but the flange on the endcap is smaller on the xd one.

Am looking for an xd freewheel if you want to sell? Or swap for a shimano one?

Cheers

Just fitted the upgrade myself, though not ridden it yet.
Shouldn’t think it will be any different performance wise, just a lot more reliable. (No wave washer to break)

10 to 15 min drive you can be at Rivington or Darwen tower or Healey nab.

Got a pair of unused mavic askium disc wheels for sale if your interested?

£100 + postage.

Not been to Morocco with them but been to Spain with them many times.

Couple of friends highly recommend Vamos cycling.

I’ve only done mtb in the area but the roads do look great as long as you like climbing!

Not for a service but have purchased parts from SCS to fix, service myself.
As above great to deal with and talk to.

Couldn’t be more helpful.

Cheers

Fell off three times! Last night on our muddy night ride.
Between 12 of us there were around 8 crashes two punctures and one snapped chain!
Not the best night!

Be interesting trying to get that down tourettes in Spain Stu!

Looks very nice!

Always some good discounts at pauls cycles.

It was two types of escort shell the standard and heavy duty (hd).
The mex twin cam and rs models all used the hd shell, which had extra strengthening panels, mountings etc.

@redmex ye it’s sebring red, it was a base model mex so originally came on steel wheels and has bullet end pinstripes, not the larger ones that say mexico.
Still a few jobs to do yet!

This is mine, it’s a 74 last of the mk1, stipe is on now!

Bought in 93 by me.

If its just a case of shortening the air shaft I have used a hacksaw and file to remove 10mm.
I would check the threads are deep enough first.

With my riding partner!

Possibly the grub screw on the adjuster catching the foot Bolt, I have had this before.
If you push the adjuster in toward the fork while tightening the grub screw it may help to position it.

Cheers

Had a couple of Fiesta Supersport, wish I had kept the last one!

But have had this for over 20 yes (thanks to my dad for putting it back together!)

It’s like riding an early nineties mtb compared to modern stuff!

Think you can ride all year, but july/August can be pretty hot!
Best to mail and ask.

I’ve been end of April which is great weather but still a bit cold for the pool! And lots of snow at the top of the pass.
Also September which was warmer but not too hot.

I would recommend an enduro/all mountain bike as it’s not all uplift. You need the uphills to work off the massive dinners you eat!

Bought an air cartridge from Grant at southcoast this week, very helpful and fast delivery, what’s not to like!
