    Its awful.

    Search using Google.

    Put “site:singletrackworld.com meeting” into google.

    That will just search the specified website.

    The thread is a normal thread but because you are at the end of the bolt. rather than the top you have to screw the other way. the flat plates in the middle that push up against the shock bushings are the head of the bolt.

    Took me a while to work out too!

    I had this issue first time I took my spicy apart. They screw in from the inside. So when unscrewing from the outside it will be righty loosey as its essentially the back of the bolt, not the head.

    Did you have it mounted the right way round? With the curved spokes pointing backwards?

    Otherwise… Just not enough metal!

    Edit: Am I being a mong? Is it even possible to mount it the wrong way round?

    I left mine and my phone on the roof of my car and drove off before.

    Never found the phone. Wallet was handed into the bank with all the cash gone. No note tho!

    Looks like wrong crown race. The metal base is overhanging the crown quite a bit too.

    I have tried a few tyre combos for North Wales riding. So like Scotland; rocks and water.

    I keep coming back to High Roller 2’s with the EXO casing. Grip is good. They seem strong against spiky rocks. Set up tubeless really easily.

    Mud king with cut down centre spikes is good on the rear for summer if its dusty.

    Barrel adjuster in middle
    Shifter in highest gear (smallest sprocket)
    Adjust limit screw of mech before attaching cable.
    Tension and attach cable.
    Shift into lowest gear (biggest sprocket).
    Adjust limit screw.
    Adjust B screw if needed.
    Use barrel adjuster to fine tune.

    In your case try winding the barell adjuster IN to reduce cable tension as its shifting down that is the issue.

    You really want to eat that?

    Honestly, once I open the tube; I just don’t care!

    Damn you all. Now I want Pringles.

    I have purple shorts. Most tops are black. Waterproof is black/white.

    I also have a red jersey that should never be worn with aforementioned purple shorts.

    Think oil seals are used as they have longer service intervals. Foam rungs need to be re oiled pretty often and if they aren’t, they can result in quite a lot of stiction.

    It may be the many hours of playing Need For Sped Underground. But I like the spoiler!
    I guess it will have a slightly more ‘toned down’ look without tho.

    Gorilla glue (not very good)
    Thule 591 spare end cap
    Shimsno bleed kit
    Dakine snowboard mitts
    Anti slip rubber mat.

    All very exciting!

    Shape of the exhaust can.

    Many have removable baffles that keep it within road legal noise output. Sometimes these are removed, thus making it rather a lot louder.

    I did it last year on zero training. I did go out on a couple of rides thinking they were training, but it was cold and wet so gave up. They turned from training, to just a couple of short rides.

    I managed it in 5 hrs 10mins on a hardtail with 50psi in the tyres. Pretty sure it would have paid to put on softer, bigger tyres as the descents were often steeper and looser than i expected.

    Reverb would have helped too…

    I was also far from the end of the pack. So im sure you’ll be reet. It was certainly great fun if painful at times!

    They can also round off when you use a spoke key on them. Rubbish things!

    I did manage to snap a brass nipple the other day tho!

    I really like them. Mainly because I couldnt justify almost double the cost for something a bit more bling.
    The new ones seem a bit stiffer than my old ones and look a bit nicer. But they are cheap and do the job perfectly well.

    Oh yes. A good one that!
    On my computer I use WOT which is good for stuff like this. But on my phone may not have noticed!

    There is a company that does satellite based BB for people in Rural areas (saw an advert for it down at Mole Valley). You would probably have to mount the dish in the garden though.

    A friend has this. She lives miles up a hill in North Wales so no phone line at all is connected up there. Apparently download speeds rival dial-up for slowness and your download limit is in MB.

    They did that with the reverbs too. Put it up by £10. Funilly enough, just before that 10% extra discount code went up.

    Great cheers :)

    Did you order from the site? Were they okay?

    The play will be the bushes in the fork lowers. The reason you can’t feel it when the fork is compressed is probably because the sliders go though a second set of bushes lower in the fork.

    The bushes need a bit of oil over them as the oil forms a thin layer and actually tightens everything up. So service would be my first option. Revelations are super easy to service yourself too. Plenty of YouTube videos and guides. Check out the SRAM website too.

    If that doesn’t work, then new lowers would be next as the bushes aren’t really replaceable.

    I clamp on my frame too with the clamp supporting under the top tube.

    It doesnt require much tightening, just enough to stop it moving around.

    In my head it makes more sense than clamping on the seatpost which, with the whole bike hanging on it, is probably subjected to a fair chunk of leverage.

    Edit: What do you think your seat clamp does to the dropper? It probably exerts more compression forces than the work stand and it still works fine doesnt it? Just don’t clamp the slidey bit as you might scratch it.

    Osprey venom 13 (same as viper just without the bladder) can be had in Cotswold for £45 and you get discount just for asking in Cotswold.
