    Don’t think there is a way!

    Have you measured it to see if the 125mm will be short enough? or would you need the even shorter 100?

    Did you ask them if they would sort it still laced up?

    How is a work stand clamp any different to a seat clamp?
    I’m sure my ar*e sitting on it for a few hours is harder on it that hanging in a stand.

    Pretty sure the 4g has dual sim too doesn’t it?

    Yep the 2nd gen is 5″ screen. The 1st gen is 4.5″
    The 1st gen is available in 3g and 4g. The 2nd gen currently only in 3g.

    So if its 4g. Its 1st gen. I think they have also discontinued the 3g 1st gen. But might be stock hanging about still.

    They’re not that great. The non ball ends are very annoying.

    Is this to be the next STW niche item?

    I’m still tempted!

    Will be going that way soon!
    Rigid 29er and a Spicy atm. Selling the Spicy as I miss riding my old mmmBop. And I actually enjoy riding the rigid more. Its not as fast and the technical stuff is quite hard on the arms. But in the end it’s the grin at the bottom of the hill. That’s what my bikes are for.

    Yep the adaptor goes on first. Then your crown race goes on the adaptor. Works with any 1.5 lower cup.

    Fairy liquid for everything.

    Washing up brush on the cassette and spin pedals backwards cleans the drive train.

    Big muc off brush for everything else.

    I bought some from Ribble that came with IS adapter on the rear and a post on the front. CRC ones didnt. Did come with bolts, all the bleeding blocks and new olives.

    Normally use a Park pcs10 which I thought was great till i used one of those feedback ultimate stands. Much more solid than the park. Buying again… that’s where my money’d go.

    Only thing is the clamp is only good at clamping round tubes. Ie. Seat posts and steerer tubes. But really that’s the only bits that should be clamped anyway.

    Also while we’re on this train… I have a 14ply carbon Trampa Kiteboard with Scrub bindings, wheels, and trucks with red primo tyres.

    I’ve got an Ozone Flow 4m. Maybe look at the 3m if kids will be using too.

    Its a basic friendly 4 string kite. It will drag you reasonably easy and will teach you all about the wind window and how to fly them to get the most out of them.

    The other one to look at is the Hq Beamer. I just thought the Ozone looked nicer ;)

    Have a look at the Kite Crowd forum.

    I don’t fly mine as much as I used to. But still great to take to the beach in the car.

    Get the switch hubs then. Not found many bad reviews with them. With the exception of freehubs and bearings. The new hubs have SKF bearings. Freehub… Well if it breaks, a replacement isn’t expensive.

    I have just got a set of the Tech 4’s for myself and some Tactics on switch hubs for my gf. I haven’t ridden mine yet, but she is pleased with hers.

    I looked at them. Was put off by the dock and having to remove the watch from the strap to dock it.

    Got a Polar M400 instead. Micro usb connection. Bluetooth connectivity. And customisable sport profiles. Its great.

    Yep. That’s the one.
    I don’t see why it would be fiddly. I took this one off when I first got it to see how it works. Very very simple.

    The main fiddly bit with the standard top cap is the tiny spring and ball bearing at the bottom that allow the adjuster to sit in the notches. But only cos they are tiny parts.

    My email is in my profile if you’re interested.

    I went through the same thinking. Bought a Spicy last year. Its great. But I just preferred my hardtail. Its more fun. So much so that I will be selling the Spicy in the new year and getting a hardtail again. Even though I also have a rigid 29er!

    I bought the fork with it fitted. It was a brand new fork. Was just a bit of a bargain so couldn’t resist.

    The outer. Cage that attaches to the remote cable can be lifted and drops back down. So you just spin that.
    The remote cap is essentially 4 parts. The black housing. The spring. The blue cap. And the bolt to hold it all togther. Very simple.

    Butbin all seriousness. If you want to swap caps, give me a shout. Its unmarked as the fork’s only been used twice since new.

    As far as I’m aware. Its just a top cap change.
    I have a 2014 32 with a remote top cap. No remote tho.

    Want to swap caps?

    Marin and CYB would be my choice.
    Penmachno still has closed sections for felling.

    I’ve ordered kayaking stuff from the website before so it definitely normally works.

    The postage wasn’t cheap but it was over a year ago.

    Mine arrived. Very pleased with it for the money. Exceeded my expectations.

    The Bluetooth doesn’t particularly like going through walls tho, so it mostly only works in the same room.

    Dry toast and a boiled egg.
