Only ever heard of this years ago. Luckily never seen it happen though.

Stumpjumper evo. Lock out the fork and rear pro-pedal for the fireorad stuff. Great all-round bike for my needs.
For commuting I’d use it as well.

Same bike as me. It’s a SRAM PF30 not many options out there. Although Leisure lakes got an XT crank fitted to my previous 11 S-works SJ (Same BB). My ‘original BB lasted 10 hours, nearly ditched the origial crank but got a new BB fitted myself and now all’s well. The crank on the evo is an XO.

The evo is one hell of a bike.

Try this, the RNID have a telephone hearing test as well. might be worth seeing a specialist for a look at your ears including a pure tone audiogram.

Pease Nick used to ride with us, Guy a fewe times as well. Taff I joined Kens group about 12 years ago. (Taff who is sue all our rides are lack of sue) We see Ronska about every year at our xmas do. Taff riding with Ken Gas and co tonight shall I pass on a message?

Pease, nope not just the bridleways, I cycle with a guy called Ken Gas. There is no other that knows that forest like he does. Think of Llanlwni mountains, Gwernogle, llidiad Nenog, New Inn etc etc.

Nicolai and am I the only one who doesn’t get the Ibis mojo?

Live 20 minutes away, normally up there 3-4 times a week and never tire of it. I havent been anywhere else apart from the doethie valley for a number of years. There’s some great natural tracks up there too.

This is totally wrong on all levels. Ring up social services and mention POVA. (protection of vulnerable adult). It’s there to protect all patient’s/clients. Not just physical but financial.

Did mine today, when you replace the roller, there’s a small set screw that aligns the roller onto the carrier. Its easy to bind the roller onto the carrier as well.
Mine were seized after 10 hours. WD40 and grease as others have said.

Had those choices for cars. In the end went Civic, The focuc didnt feel solid, the Golf did, but once I tried the Civic with that dashboard the others were dull to be behind. I have a 1.8ES 06, it’s a great car the engine is great and economical overall. It’s a safe drive around the country lanes of Carmarthenshire.
Wife has a VW and dont find the servicing that bad, there’s more VW specialists around.

Button!!!!

hehehehe!

My mate has the green meta 5, swears by the revelation, even though he has travel adjust never uses it.

Had loads of nitro cars even built one up myself, Enjoyed the Traxxis better than HPI. Ultmately T-Maxx or Savage X, the revo was a bit faster though.
Towards the end built up a Hong Nor truggy, gave it all up when the time involved eat into my Mountain Biking. (still would like an electric rock crawler)

Have had an 04 enduro and a 06 enduro, I have to admit that 06 enduro was a blast, just the right geometry for fast DH. If you want a bike that is faster and even more fun get the 11 Stumpjumper evo. Or get it stripped painted and save some money?

Just ordered a small 456 for my ‘spare’ parts. Can’t go wrong for £129. I nearly ordered one last week, glad I waited now.

One of our riding group has a 09 Zesty 514. Havent seen him for a while, the last time I saw him he had put a coil shock on it, remember it was from TF Tuned. I rode it before the coil shock and was impressed, but I was on a 06 S-works enduro so no comparison (That was more Spicy) For those ? wanting more than the normal Stumpie, go evo. best of both worlds.

I bought Comma 5litre tin of degreaser (hyperclean) for £15 from my local motor factors, lasted a long time. Splint link and pop in a plastic container, job done.

It happens to most frames I’m afraid, learnt years ago to protect cable rub areas. Not really a warranty issue.
You could ask how much to buy a replacement rear stay ‘crash replacement’.

Just woken up after a night shift, so tired, but I do have a new SJ evo fsr to get ready for a ride tomorrow. Bit of parts swap and some helicopter tape to apply. Need that coffee.

I’m getting my evo on Friday, luckily have a g2 rotor for the rear, heard that organic pads help.

A ghost used to shift my gears a few times on a night ride…..Spooky.

Not sure if available yet in the UK?

Same here with two dogs. DC08 animal is the bees knees, even the miele cat and dog didn’t compare. Six years old and going strong, I can strip it down to component parts. Have a henry in the garage for the car.

Backhander, I’ve bought the full bike. I have seen on mtbr that they are coming out with a frame only EVO frame. Whether it will come to the UK is another matter.

http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?spid=61031&scid=1000&scname=Mountain

Had a refund on a frame, had the choice of a few. Chose the SJ Expert Evo. would have been interested by the Jekyll though, but have had a long wait for Cannondale warranty once.

Very dissapointed by the biketart stuff, too thin imho, look for the thiscker 3M stuff on ebay.

There are two versions of eskars, the original were improved with better side knobs, the originals weren’t 100% into corners.

Brechfa or Trawscoed. First ride in ages I’m foaming at the mouth to get out. 1 more night shift before then though.

Good Luck.

1836: The power of the earthquake off north-east Japan shifted the earth’s axis by nearly 10in (25cm), Earth-issues.com reports, citing the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. The phenomenon is not unusual for a major quake.

Got this from the BBC site. So for those who know, what would that do?

Have had 3 enduro SL’s. That e150 was a superb fork and I have had Vanilla3’s6 and talas36’s. Even though I now have have a 32 11 TALAS the enduro SL deserves firstly a e150 it was designed for.
If I was speccing a fork I’d go 36. After the mare I am having with my 11 S-Works SJ beginning to wish I hadnt sold my 08 S-Works Enduro

From what I know it seems to be a ritual to get in, just keep on trying. Always 2nd or 3rd attempt. Is it direct access? seems nowadays the Staff Nurses converting get in the cue 1st.

Nobby Stiles?

Why has it gone?

Everyone knows who mike is!!!! Don’t they?
