doh meant hayne down!!!
ha yeah hameldown is also good fun, i believe trailmonkey witnessed one of our group have a nice stack as he got drawn right into all the ruts at high speed..the carnage was funny!!!

just looking at at the piccies and they look like the hameldown descent that we take down to the road at SX750807 then on road to manaton village? is that the one? its ace!!

ah cheers i’ll find it, I would love to come out for a ride with you lot but you tend to start a bit late for me, if we do a houndtor loop then we meet/leave the CP by 8am so we are able to get back to the family for around 12.30-1pm, next time i get an all day leave pass then i’d love to come out, do you have a group email you send round or is it just arranged on here?, if you have a group mail then could you add mine to it (in profile) that way if i have advanced notice i can sort out kiddy care etc and come out to play..!

2 rides and my ssc bb went like that, got them to free up eventually but after most wet rides if the bike was left fo rmore than a few days it would seize, then free up after a while, i replaced the bearings in the cups and no problems since.

i like the sound of that….<homer voice> mmmmmmmm dirty

wot coffee king said, same experience, face it if you get problems if you dont and its ok then its money saved..

<hijack>

Mr monkey any chance of a MM route of the bit you use around bowermans.? have ridden there but couldn’t really find anything of any worth..vis was a bit crap so probably rode right past any good stuff!!
also im thinking of an all day epic soon so any suggestions or complete routes would be ace..

cheers
addy in profile

we normally ride up that bit in that there photo.

think yourself lucky, i spend a lot of free time (of which i have precious little) clearing trails in my local forestry block (in an area we are allowed) only to have the local redsocks find them and claim them as their own they then carefully lay logs/debris/general rubbishy windfall over said tracks to annoy/cause injury to.

horses are the very least of our problem!!

nomad. top bit of kit well thought out with handy features

i drive through totnes on the way home from work and you can spot the moneybags hippies a mile off..

you’ll want to pester slugwash then he’s from round that way me thinks?

pics of some of my stuff here

Hi, short night rides every wed/thrs night from plympton and then as weather gets better up on t’moor for longer evening/night rides, and sunday morning rides of 3hrs or so around cann woods and moor etc haldon every now and again the quantocks (should be more often its ace)
page me or julian wilson off of here and we could sort some riding out.

Dez are you referring to the 24/12 at newnham last year? i had lovely hot showers with no queues after every lap… also going to the BBB this year with the family so please showers would be very nice indeed (as would toilets!!)

its fine on 130mm better on pikes at 140mm tho IMO

i need a calculator…doh!

wot he said ^^^^^^

has to be uber safe and out of sight. boxes always preferred

outpost co plymouth.

i got an old ’04 stinky off of here for 300notes, bags of fun,

lol @ gnargnar..!

its a dug FFS not a gun toting smack smoking knife wielding maniac

it always makes me laugh when people say just kick it, dogs jaws are almost always gonna be faster than your portly plates of middle aged scaredy meat, and if it does connect then you’ll probably piss it off and make it more aggressive.

try watching the dug whisperer, he’ll give you some handy tips on creating a calm submissive state…lol lol

failing that you could take Hora’s approach and ‘slit its throat’ (only works on staffies though)

IME it rather depends on yr cups, the shitmano ones have a ledge so you cant drift the bearing out properly/easily so need a tool (a la betd tool) the SSC cups just use a 21mm socket and drift them out then pop the new ones back in easy peasy.

i didnt get stung either 😀

that could’ve been my thread, see myt profile.

i got 5 sets of bearings and the insertion/extraction tool free.

works a treat

nothing, i never use them.

nice bike stoner…

just curious but is your seat a bit far back..?

i’d imagine the front wheel wandering all over theplace on climbs with it in that position..?

i’d be sure to let all in the meeting know it was mine, and make him look a **** for trying to pass it off as his

mine lasted a few weeks before seizing, the only good thing about them is that you can easily drift out the bearings with a 21mm socket and replace with good ones.

and structurally how does the indent affect the stay?

ive took a link out of chain, and applied tie wrap protectors, will see how it goes.
chain rings are tight (and new) chain is new cassette is new, so what exactly does that indent do..just lessen the damage done when CS occurs?

cheers, i may try to do that, firstly I’m going to check my chain length and maybe take a link out see if that helps. then I’ll attack with the G clamp..

cheers all

does anyone care to post some pics of where to put this indent..? then i may go try it..!!

plymouth (cann woods) was a shite fest tonight, good slidy fun but uber muddy, so south dartmoor would be a no no im guessing.

ok my bad..

i was simply checking to see if i had the correct alignment for my bike so i guessed it may be important to put the frame make in.

similar situation as you jonb replaced all and was trouble free for a few weeks, now its back, and im pissed off..

mine is a red 456 also

any chance of some photos to see what you’ve done? sounds drastic!! although the way mine is going the chain will put its own indent in soon

make sure they’re locked up round there!!

my friends forks came back from mojo and they’d taken the time to touch up the paintwork on the lowers….trouble is it looked like a 3yr old had done it..!!!

david, was the guy who melted his pikes the same guy who was selling that bmx on ebay and was ‘rad to the power of sick’..?

lol melting fork internals…lol

dammit..!!!

roads are soooooooooooooooooooooooo dull so who cares..thread closed.

the worst ever ever ever, unless everyone you ride with has identical bikes

TD no i couldnt tell any difference at all

looks better though but wont be doing it again
