Well if it’s p’ing off other cyclists, what hope with car drivers?

Tazzy, is the chainring clearance ok on the 29er? I had bad chainsuck on my 853 Inbred.

Anyone know of any cheapish 29er wheel deals about? Liked the look of the Merlin Cannondale ones, but they’ve gone 🙁

Cheers, got a 20″ inbred and thinking of getting inbred 29er which is 19.5″.

Tazzy, did you get the same size 29er as the 26?

I was just about to mention the Enduro one! Worth it if you can afford it.

On One have A Token red one for £20 reduced from 50.

HTH.

Wahoo!, got another 49 years at least then, hopefully 😀

AAAAAAARRRGHH! 😀

Backwards to rear mech, both sides.

Yes, to the rear

new to me anyway.

Looking good Stu 😉

Indeed, £200 for the front triangle is a steal.

Well the shop is wrong on the 2year warranty for 2009 bikes – just found this on Bikeradar :

Good afternoon all,

Pete from Hotlines Europe (Lapierre’s UK distributor) here.

It seems someone has been mis-informed regards Lapierre warranties. Below is full clarification on Lapierre warranties:

2008 and earlier – 2 years on full suspension models, 1 year on downhill bikes and 5 years on hardtails (includes road bikes)

2009 onwards (includes 2012) – 5 years on full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes (includes road bikes). 2 years on downhill models.

Warranty covers manufacturer’s defects only.

Racing voids all warranty.

The warranty is also non-transferable and valid for the original owner of the bike.

My 2009 Zesty cracked on the lower swingarm and was replaced on warranty no trouble .Bought May ’09 replaced Sept ’11, so after 2 years. I thought the warranty was now 5 years. I emailed steve@hotlines-uk.com HTH.Ian

Edit: just seen the ex-demo bit,so I guess that changes things!

XT 730 ‘beartrap’ pedals from 1987 on commuter. Still spin smoothly with no play 🙂

For some reason I never got touch up paint.
Sorry to hear about your back Stu, I have an on/off back prob too 🙁
Hope it’s better soon, Ian.

Nice bike that 😀

😀

Really like that. Want to do something similar to my Inbred 853. 29er wheels or small frame?

Try a magnifying glass. I used one on a suspect mark to determine if it was a crack. It was 🙁

@ mattbike, what adaptor have you used for the rear disc brake?

I cleaned the areas with IPA cleaner,went on really easily. Some people suggest heating the tape with hair dryer to make it more flexible.

Good point re postage, Chris. I’ll mail you after Christmas and arrange it.
Cheers Ian.
Leku, l think we’re looking at about £85

Me too. Ok to send you my Vision 4 for conversion?

Showing xxl in stock now. I bought L, but a tad too small. Anyone got xl that’s too big?, could do a swap.

As said above, you cant blame them, but surely now they’re going to lose out eventually. Everyone who went with them for bike insurance will go elsewhere, l will be when l come to renew.

Give them a call. They’ll probably suggest you send it to them. They fixed mine (diff prob though)FOC, after 4 or 5 years 🙂

Where did you send it to be re-valved?

M6TTF sent mail to address in profile.

Is it m770 chainset? I’ve got an unused outer somewhere.

Nice one, thanks 🙂

Troutie conversion?

Chris, any idea on price for the Hope 4 conversion? Cheers Ian.

Loco, I have some 2012 Sektor rl Dual Position forks. What, if anything can be done to these forks upgrade wise? Cheers Ian.

Yeah, RL has lock out. Glad I managed to get one with RP23 for £70 less than the ’12 version!

If you’re after one it might be worth phoning Santa Cruz UK onthe off chance they may have some ’11 ones left. I managed to get one with RP23, was couple of months ago though. Maybe worth a try.

Frame’s the same, shock Float RL instead of R.
