it replaces the qr skewer with the axle. The axle slides into the cart bearings, has a lever at one end and a thread at the other, which you tighten.

Seems to work better the other way round.

take it to the shop with reciept etc, and see what marin say. Cracks like that ain't massively uncommon and marin are usually good with warranty stuff.

has the bike been upside down?

get tft/mojo etc to do them. Far too much hassle than it's worth, you'll need to buy the right installation tool as well.

nope

they used to sell condoms…..

Proper big bottle too. Mmmmmm

it's easier without splitting the caliper tbh. Hold the one on the same side as the bleed nipple in and pump the lever until it pops, then stick an air line/pump on the bleed nip and blast that one out. You can't get spare pistons or seals from shimano, so make sure you don't damage them.

The RST bushings aren't as bad as some suntour ones, but don't expect anything amazing. Saying that, they are nice and lightly sprung and spesh would sort you out if you had any problems

I love them as peaty and smoky as I can get. Mis-spent teen years drinking far too much JD and coke makes me nearly retch at anything too sweet. I do like the 'cleanness' of laphroaig more than most though

Yes. They're bloody awesome. Although I would say have a small test before you buy as it has slightly quicker steering than you'd expect. Wish I still had mine now.

bada boom bada bing

Working in a bikeshop, I bloody love that site for fiddly bits.

Big toe – Hit the side of a car as I was doing 30mph

Lagavulin – lovely drinking whisky . . . . .

getting that off the mrs for me birthday.

I think it'll be highland park then – if I can walk past the quarter cask quickly enough, anyway!

I'll be getting it from the scarily rather good selection at my local asda, so it won't be anything too hard to get hold of, I just wish the bugger liked quarter cask as I need a refill

also: why does highland park always seem to be on special offer? £22 in nearly every supermarket

shimano cable cutters are a lot smaller and lighter than the park ones.

twice

the seatstay'll fold soon so I wouldn't worry about it.

sounds nicked to be honest. one smack from a stone ain't gonna take a whole frame number off.

the shop it was bought from *should* keep a record, but apart from that yer stuffed.

worn off? how the hell..

For anyone in bristol/bath/devon go to Boston Tea party. Black continental every time.

I thought the coffee was the least important part of a starbucks 'coffee' anyway. Not been able to find a roast there I like, not dark enough and either too citrusy or liquoricey

Cheap ones tend to be heavy and flexy, with naff brakes and wheels. Everything you don't want really. I'd look 2nd hand to get you rolling with a view to upgrading

looks neat. Used to have a planet x set up like that. God it was fun.

That trellis is knackered though

Tried a Giant dealer? used to have loads of the buggers when we stocked them

Don't think the track helped. The new twisty bit is just stupid, making the cars far too slow in the mid section

revolver is so head crushingly bad and pretentious it IS worth a watch, even if it's just to see how far you can get through it (see note 6 and 7 for example)
snakes on a plane is just bleh. Not crap enough to be fun

rare to medium rare. Ribeye every time – gorgeous.

As for fish, the fresher and raw-er the better

new master cylinder seal kit for them both. Seems to happen a lot with avids.

there's a little stubby nib on the ring instead of the pin. That goes under the crankarm

edit: on the RHS

you don't need it. Why remove it anyway?

anyone else think it looks like Lemmy?

secret Rolex bits… the factories are down the road from each other and some DT bits are made 'next door'

I'd have thought if you smacked the old one out 'fairly easily' the crown hole is already fairly flared/damaged. Why not fit a new one, then drill a hole through the crown and steerer then stick a nut and bolt through the whole lot? It'll snap around the hole but you'll KNOW where it's gonna snap….
