Yeah, that always makes me chuckle too :lol:

I think not, they’re very subtly different…..

Retrobike…….

Your Dad was correct ahwiles, nothing whatsoever to do with plurals or owt else ;-)

Possibly,
Yes, one day.
Nobody in my circle of ridin’ chums…..

….. wot he said :-)

PEDANT ALERT… bit late to the forum but it’s err not air :lol: i’ll get my coat……

spacers not normally required if fitting road bb to road bike frame 8)

…. any IPA or has it got to be Flowers?

I’ll get my coat….. ;-)

I’ve been there, best option is a new saddle, it’ll never be right :-(

A flat spot is indicative of damage to the rim, avoid…..

No idea what you’d realise money wise but it would sell, without doubt ;-)

I know just what you mean ‘gelert’, me too :-)

Er, your LBS ;-)

That’s quite a push up, better to go from Hagg Farm along the ridge in that direction, all rideable, “in theory” ;-)

What LoCo said :D

Santa Cruz offer lifetime warranty on the bearings, my LBS pulled them, sent them off to Jungle for replacements and re-fitted for cake 8) why spend money if you haven’t got to. Having said that, if I were doing the job myself, I’d get the right tools from Jungle.

CrateWorks Box http://www.crateworks.com UK distributor somewhere in Cornwall from memory, maybe Bude……

Er, where is this? not in the UK I take it!!

Another vote for the Fountain Inn here, great place to stay ;-)

Why do you think they look such a good deal?

Glad to hear it, still waiting for my Chronicle though :cry:

That’s easy then, try a longer axle in the bottom bracket, if you can find one :|

I run RS7 square taper Duo 42/29 combo alright on my Surly Crosscheck. I do use an old 105 road shifter and LX mtb front mech though, works a treat 8)

Er, I understood what you said, I didn’t understand why the trees missing on one short section of trail would stop you coming to NYA and as for it being the ‘best track’ there……….

Frankly though without the trees on HAAK… I wouldn’t bother going to NYA

???

raw steel with a mad max-esque finish

..this

I only managed four, from an xtr 9speed cassette on my King SS Hub…..

Wow!!!!! just WOW!!!! completely forgotten about that…….

I’d still speak to Mojo……..they’re very nice people ;-)

Yes and no, they don’t fit…..

Very thin sole, last about 100 miles …..

High as a Kite is gone for the duration. :( the entire area has been clear-felled with the inevitable damage to the trail. Officially, the area is to be re-planted with 13,000 oak trees and other native species before Spring. We suspect the trail won’t be repaired/rebuilt until after those are established……

ditto….

Yep, Nant Yr Arian is now closed for three months due to felling for same disease, it’ll never be the same :(

database is now closed, i.e. no registration changes so you would be riding in muffs11’s name……..

yesterday 8)

….provided they’re serviced regularly ;) yes tool is worth getting, you can’t re-grease the bearings properly without it….

my guess is the bolt has sheared. you need to remove the bearing cap against which the ‘self extracting’ bolt bears (it’ll be a left hand thread) you’ll then be able to remove what’s left of the crank bolt and use a traditional crank puller to remove the crank arm from the thru-axle – hope that helps!!

edit, beaten to it ;)
