    Defo steer away from the tuning boxes and get a proper re-map by a recomended tuner. Get your exhaust and filter upgraded first though so the engine can breath.

    Not sure on that but I think your right, well 95% anyway. Do you still have the receipt to pass on?? If so take a copy pass on the original and if there are any problems with warranty claims in the future, I wouldn't worry it's not your problem.

    Not to sure as the Mrs did it while I got the beers in, but I know she read out the wireless router code to me and I had to input it using the wii remote. Maybe this link will help http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-wii-online/5820-official-wii-wireless-internet-connection-guide.html

    Sorry I can't help more

    -7 according to the car when I set out today, lovely clear crisp ride round marple etc.. As good as watched the moon re-ceed over the Cheshire plain and the sun rise up over Kinder.
    You could clearly see the mast at Rivi and a wind farm to the right of it (not sure of location)lots of detail of Manchester etc. Awesome.
    Shame the cafe at The Roman Lakes was shut though as hadn't had a drink all ride cos it was frozen.

    My mate has had a set for over 12 months now and he does a lot of walking when out with the bike, although they look fubar they still clip in and out OK.
    I'd look at changing them when you get to the 'very easy to un-clip or foot comes un-cliped unexpetedly'

    Not really done either route recently but 2 I have done can be tailored to suit by leaving Buxton on the OLD Macc Road(down the old coach road) to Derbyshire Bridge then either :-
    A) up to Cat & Fiddle, Across the moor, Right at the road, Right again after about half mile, Down Cumberland Brook, Upto Standing Stone Carpark, Trrough Macc Forest, Up to Tegs Nose, Right down Charity Lane, Left at Forest Chapel, Stanley Arms and back to Cat & Fiddle, Down to Derbyshire Bridge, Buxton. Approx 18 mile with some lung busting hills thrown in.

    B) At Derbyshire Bridge turn Right, Follow road and take track past Fernilee Res, A bit cloudy on the rest of this one but you can get to Whaley Bridge via Taxal and then back through Horwich End , Fernilee past Whitehall Outdoor Centre and back into Buxton down Long Hill. Can't remember miles or dificulty.

    Why you not poping over the hill to Hope and Castleton etc.. far more route choice and much better riding?

    HTH anyway

    I matched my new cleats as best I could on my new shoes to my old, but still had to tweak them a little as the degree at which my ankle was at made it ache and thats all I could think of that was causing it, minor adjustment and it's all sorted and comfy now. I would say mine are positioned more to the inside of the shoe therefore moving my foot out away from the crank.

    Back to OP I guess is put them where you think and see how you go.

    Not an expert but these are enough for what I need (2500mha, 1.5v AA's) -http://www.strikalite.co.uk/prodcat_type/18/ALL/0/NiMH_Batteries.html

    As antigee mentions watch for the thicker/greater diameter when putting in torches. They will fit with some grinding/filing work to the inside of the torch though.

    Cheers Bloodyshins & Thanks for the invite, going to stick with another ride round Marple, Mellor Hayfield etc.. though.
    If you ever fancy a trip round that way let me know e-mail in profile

    Have a good day

    Bloodyshins, I've been round Marple, Mellor, Rowarth, Strines, Birch Vale, Hayfield and back again today and it's cleared up nicely. Some parts still have a little icy snow and some bits still frozen solid but not much at all to be honest. The worst part of today was the bloody wind and all the defrosting snow/ice making it quite wet.
    Still good fun though.

    Ordered Yesterday and had confirmation of my new shiney bits being dispatched today too.

    I know it won't help much based on the OP, but on paper the Med Stealth is the perfect fit for me, in reality it would have been imposible to reach the bars though as it was very very tight just under the armpit (lats area) so got a large. Again not much help but definatley try to try them on or order a Med & Large and send the one that doesn't fit back.

    yeah thats cool, can adjust to suit if it happens but at the moment nothing but rain. Cheers though

    Bloodyshins – What time, start place and distance you thinking of on Thurs, I might be cheeky and ask if I tag along?

    I'll report back in this thread tomorrow sometime with an update

    Been round Marple, Mellor, Rowarth, Strines, Birch Vale, Hayfield and back yesterday and some parts are OK and others very icy. Out of the 20 mile I covered there was only a couple hundred yards un-ridable but most was fine with a little do-able with care. Back off there tomorrow so will report back if you want??

    You could create one of your own that'll be unique to you at http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/calendars/photo-calendar.aspx

    Pick your own or pinch others photos.
    Ok, yeah they are pricey but there will only be one.

    Yes but only the front mech and select few on the rear as SB kindly posted

    Not actually bike related but I got caught in traffic big time last night coming home from work, a 25 min journey which I thought might take upto an hr ended up taking just under 2hrs. Any how I really really needed to go pee and as the roads like a carpark couldn't really nip out into the bush. Emptied bottle of water out of window, got into position, zip, lob, aaaaah.

    Oh and didn't spill a drop.

    I've used the toothpaste tube with duct tape to hold it in place before now thats held out till new rubber arrived half a dozen rides later, that was on a Panaracer Cinder at the Marin.

    Another cheap temp fix/bodge is 4" DPC

    Just e-mail the guys at Fisher and ask them, it's all I did when I wanted to swap over the lowers/stantions on some toras. I got a speedy reply with all the info I needed.

    As above but, I didn't even have to argue, I just explained the subtle differences between what was offered and what I had, got my fav bike shop (18bikes) to put me together a new build cost for a replacement, told them the total cost and they sent the cheque within 48hrs.

    Thanks Suggsey, Thats what I was expecting to hear about calculating the length so all sorted there. The road bike has a KMC Z-51 so looks like I best get a couple of Taya link's then just in case.

    Looking down over Ladybower from Whitstone Lee Tor from a year or so ago but I still love the pic

    I know what you mean about the f-in pinch bolts, also had lots of issues with play in the piovt on the last one, all sorted out amicably of course, but not what you really want in the first place.
    The 2010 rear is So much better imo, it might just be me but it seems stiffer and less flexy and it looks neater without the pinch bolts.

    In the past I've used some DPC as a tyre boot after a riding buddy got a 3" split a side wall. Turned my Heckler into a SS after ripping off rear mech. I now carry a spare hanger.

    +2 for the Cinders, I used to run a rampage up front with one and liked that combo. Although I ride with BG 2.35 Nevegals now as I like a bit of drift here and there :-)

    Oh yeah so they are, also found on Wiggle's site and in my e-mail
