voodoo innit

ah weird that, anyway I’ve found my ‘holy grail’ of lubes so won’t be changing for a wee while!

ah maybe as I ride road to get to my local trails it could be a componant that reacts with road grime? mine was black gunktastic

I ordered some 11t KCNC ceramic ones. From clee cycles
Also in xcracer.com.
Eye wateringly expensive for what they are but all the price are similar whatever you look at.. Kcnc, mt zoom, hope etc.
Couldn’t find any original SRAM products to fit.?

Re squirt. Degreased chain cassette etc then dried thoroughly.. Applied squirt. Allowed to dry.
Went riding (MTB) and sticky waxy mess covered everything. Shifting went to pot as it was so sticky. Oh well must be me I think so thoroughly clean etc and tried again only to get the same result… Contacted squirt and although they were good at comms they couldn’t really offer an explanation apart from not degreased properly (which it was in white spirit then rinsed then dried).

sorry ignore.
I found some

squirt taken..(good riddance)

I’ve a bottle of squirt in the workshop doing nowt as i detest the stuff.
free if you pay postage

i can’t quite believe I didn’t try UBS sooner!
most xc rides around here are claggy mud and it holds up well.
also have it on my dh bike chain and roadbike…excellent stuff.

scottoiler ultimate bike spray, been using it for a while now and my chain has been 100% gunk free since. it looks like new and takes seconds to apply. /thread

Got an email today none left for me!

+1 for Patagonia.

hire a foamy and go have some fun,

sort the bottom of the fence out you can see through the broken one to next door, grey pipe work looks wonky, rockery needs attention and the trampoline paving slab makes me itch….

nice bike though

thanks for all your help, whilst on sport pursuit I found this litte beauty which can double up as my all conditions walking jacket too..reviews all seem favourable both for on bike and other activities..

linky

ye too big/small for me. the polaris looks decent though.

will go look, am already a member cheers..

think they are on sale on crc at the moment.. will go look.

got a np mega tr275 to replace my ’12 five..imo its waay better at everything even though it has less travel, im a lot more comfortable in the air and on the nadgery stuff so the mega AM will only be better than that..I’ve had a go on a mates 2012 AM and it didn’t feel out of depth at any point on the steeper dh trails at Gawton and rode back up the steep push up track with surprising ease.
get one you one regret it.

Love my prism… Is my go to jacket for all weathers and I find it warm enough… (I do live in the sw though).

+1 for bushings… Just had mine done too.

Ultimate bike spray. Awesome.
Gopro mount for my helmet light.
New 888’s

When cyclists start paying road tax and insurance I’ll start feeling sorry for them. They act as if they own the road and yet pay absoluteley nothing for it. And what’s with all the head cams ? They are out there looking for a fight. Glad this guy got what he deserved.

on the daily fail website…words fail me…

£8 Casio ftw..

im several filthy rides in now and my drivechain is squeaky clean with still no hint of black gunk…love the stuff.

typically I havent read all of that, but would thoroughly recommend the mega tr275….I’ve been really impressed by mine, rides long days ok, jumps well and is good on the tight twisty steep stuff.
currently cheapish on crc too.

A few bits out your way too, around the lopwell estate and southway nature reserve.
Bung rich or me your email and we can give you a shout if we’re going out.

Whereabouts do you live?

Agree with ontor I rarely bother with anything else if I go up on the moor.

I have some stan’s 355’s i no longer require… On pro2 hubs.. Mail in profile if you are interested.

I just went 650b and swapped from my normal Hans dampfs to a butcher/purg combo… Very very impressed even in the worst conditions. Have done a few longer rides as well as a bit of jumping/techy steep stuff… Can’t see me trying anything else for a while..

How tall is she.. Iirc if she is under 5ft then she’ll be more comfortable on 18″
both my 9yr old and 7yr old are on 18″ bikes.

150mm on mine (275tr) but as they are x fusion vengeance they have a tall a2c measurement so recon you’d be fine with 160mm.
Having said that 150mm is the sweet spot ime
Probably the best trail bike I’ve ever ridden and eggs me on try stupid things…

My buddy said he’s not bothered if there is a delay but he’d like to know what’s going on… Nowadays if you order most companies will ship next day and you get what you want within a few days… Not hearing a thing for a week despite trying to contact is bad.

Obviously he’s not tried today or yesterday, but leading up to Xmas he been getting nowhere.. I said I’d post here to see if he was about..

As stated above I now use a small dropper bottle to apply on the chain.
If I am using it on the frame I spray onto a sponge then wipe over. Seems an awful waste to liberally spray it everywhere.
It’s amazing stuff.

This is my chain after a quick hose down with water… After using the scottoiler ultimate stuff… Is like magic… Squirt etc all failed miserably for me…

Yup. I’ll be the one in the red suit and I have a big white beard.

I’ll be there with sponging machine and Julian
