The dla seal is leaking. Strip and clean an smother in rubber grease. I didn’t manage to get a reply. Mail me if you want to know more.

I have my sons medium BMC Shiver that he has out grown if you are interested, absolutely nowhere near £1500, mail if interested?

“Bookmarked”
just waiting for the wedding night queries :)

I quite like the scott thing I have, well made and hardly noticeable.

that sort of thing

Is your missus letting you play in the Alps?

I have a Vizla and it is 7 1/2 months now, she stopped eventually at around 6 months old. She isn’t mental or particularly hard work at all.
Hope that helps

Swinley is easy to navigate for the marked stuff(about 15k), start from the Lookout car park, £2 for 4 hrs £4 all day, there are many other routes too. Any bike is fine. Surrey Hills aren’t so easy as the trails aren’t marked, if you go to Peaslake I’m sure someone will give you some pointers.

have more than one rain bar?

My brother has one, he loves it, mainly used for dicking around on Leith Hill/ Peaslake.

My Canyon says that too. That’s Aluminium.

Blame the wind,
it was a little gusty at the top.
I loved the sympathy from Weeksy’s wife when we got back!

Oh yes, there wasn’t any :)

Define weird

Hi Weeksy, I’m pretty sure you are close to Reading (or used to be) I’ll come along if that’s ok, just checking availability.

Swinley was ok on Tuesday. Can’t imagine it being any worse tomorrow. A little of the Blue was shut near the start but the tank traps has opened again, albeit with no trees.

I have just got a chumba off Mr Spoon above and after many on ones, (the chumba is shorter by far.) I am finding it quite impressive no back ache , I haven’t even broken an arm yet? (someone will get that)

My first one was a Nail Trail, broke it (1 month) and bought a Specialised, broke that (1 week) and have carried on spending money on bikes ever since.

Why not heat up the tin on the hob (not too hot now :) ) and dunk the chains in, that’s what the motorbike guys do?

put some wire through the chains and hang on the side, then they can be lifted out and hung up to drain excess back in?

It was sold as an xt set :?
I did remove the chain as that wasn’t shimano either.

I shall remove myself

and no comments on the quick link……..

hasn’t everyone?

standards are dropping.

I can do it to some more decimal paces if you wish, I’d rounded them all up :(

weights for the xt bits I have
mech 273.2 g
shifter 143.5g
quick link 2.2g :-)
cassette 432.3g

A mate of mine has one and it’s only got cracks in three places. Head tube, rear brake mount and around the mech hanger, other than that it’s great ;)

I’ve been with Alpine roots, thumbs up from me.

Say Hi to Matt from Mat.

He’ll guide to suit what you want.

Have a look on the old rings and see what the bolt centre diameter (bcd) is?
You should then know what will fit. Or you could measure this?
hope that helps

To be fair, if they answer the phone the same could happen :)

Where are the “alp like” switch-backs in Swinley? I’d love to find them

contact on one? I have spare bearings and bolts etc that I got after a couple of issues with the bike.

Joke !

Poison ivy?

We used to take bent forks to the local garage for”straightening” under the four post ramp. Didn’t last long.

You could go to swinley, berms everywhere and ways to get back up to try again.

If it is locked (8pm iirc) carry on past the entrance(on the left) to the next roundabout, turn left and left again (A3095) into the burgervan car park. This is the crowthorne side. Enjoy

Tack shop

Get the codes read, could be a crank position sensor (if it has one) they can fail intermitantly. You won’t be able to guess.

It’s nice that some of you think of me :^)

If you really want some fantastic trails hook up with Mat from Alpine Roots. Spent a week recently. Knows the area like the back of his hand. Pretty handy on a bike too. alpineroots-mtb.com
Boobs

El guapo? kit is not great but it’s (was) £1500, quite surprised with mine.

I got mine here

It is assuming you screw it on and don’t unwind it again.

I had that , On one said screw it back on it will be alright!
