Nice paw prints

They look like tiger paw prints to me,

Scrap yard??

PS – Does his history show him buying a different set in the past?

Well, surprise surprise… Got the package back this morning and he’s sent me back a scuffed up tatty old set, not the ones I sent out.

That’s really rough, is it obvious from your pictures that they are a different set?

I decided not to cut the race, instead, I got some 40mm waste pipe from B&Q, cut 4 slots in and used this.

As suggested here:

Did the job perfectly

Thanks STW

This:

Put it in airing cupboard in a bag of rice for a week before trying to switch on

Dont forget to charge the battery once its dried out.

Lead the ride to big climbs or really steep descents, this should even it up.

22/32/42 is pretty standard

Could someone point me in the direction of these £300 yeti alike frames please

Riding Solo – can I plonk a box of bottles and a few spares near the transition area or do I just need to head off into the woods and find a secret spot to stash them?

watching the solo nutters last year, they just stashed their bottles and spares on the drag out of the start/finish arena.

No problem.

I am sure others are available.

MRP 1X and an on-one chainring works for me.

I have a spare chain device if you want to borrow one.

.. I’d change to a compact on the front if you can.

You’ll definitely need to lengthen the chain for the 30.

Depending on the length of the mech it probably wont cope with such a wide spread.

These are cheaper than those above

Cheers all

Smart Sam are much better on the cx bike than I thought, recommended if you think you’ll be doing some off road too

A big pole and turning it the right way should do it.

You can usually bolt the BB tool on to the BB axle, using the bolts and a few washers to keep the tool in place.

How to find a good one, usually by word of mouth. Ask around

Yeah he wants me to join him on Wednesday. I think ill pass

As stated above

Hire an accountant if you want tips.

It’ll pay for itself many times over

Not hanging about there Mike.

Boo!!

And a bargain at £3.5k for an ultegra build.

Ultegra hydraulic or cable discs?

Kinesis pro 6 🙂

They are great get one, with disc brake ideally as there is likely to be a lot of development in this area

“which suggested it had totally disintegrated”

No chance, more than likely there are some big bits further up the trail

Oh, those odi yeti grips. Can you still get em?.

Thanks, ill give it a go tomorrow

So, for an idiot, do I just do one cut, or cut a small section out of the race?

Thanks

Cool, I thought that might be the case.

Is it just a case of cutting a small section out?

A20p fits the shimano hollowtech 2 chainset bolt perfectly

why do people connect chains when its under tension? I tend to take the rear wheel out or drop the chain off the front chainring, the chain is then slack and makes it pretty straightforward

Cheers everyone, I hadn’t considered Sram as an option.

1 X 10 enough for the Big Dog Mr W?

1*10 is 9 too many for the big dog. bobsproket and I rode singlespeed last year and it was spot on for the course. I suspect gears may have been a little quicker though.

Not riding it this year though, due to a variety of boring reasons.

You riding?

I’m sure Giant Shoreham hire them out.

ah yes, looks like the argos website is incorrect, looks compatible with:

Thanks everyone, tightened the chain and its all good. Have noticed tightspots, so the Sheldon method sounds good.

hhmm, it might just be that simple. How tight is tight enough?

I’d go tow bar mounted to be honest
