I am unsure as as to the year of the forks, 08 or 09 …..must admit this is the first time that this problem has manifested itself…lets hope and pray that a full service on both legs will sort it out. 🙂

have you read this over at another forum…..   https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12652233

purchased a Reba Dual Air/Motion control service kit…. will get the forks stripped/cleaned and serviced, hopefully have it back up and running for middle of next week…. 🙂

Hey!

We’ve just had a great ride at kirroughtree- can you recall the three riders from Yorkshire?

What a great place it is! I’m afraid I can’t comment on your forks- good luck with getting them fixed.

aye, I can recall… my auld memory is not that bad yet…. HAHAHAHA.. how did it go down at “McMoab”?  was raging when I had to peel off back to the car as I was enjoying the biking…..hopefully I’ll get back down on Sunday with the Old Commencal…..

hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay in D+G

I can’t complain… they only have had 2 services since I bought them 2nd hand about 6 years ago….

DIY ….. have a shufty…..http://myoutdoorplans.com/category/workbench/

Looks like a good job.

Though I’d maybe have just painted or oiled the one you already have?

the old one was falling apart, it was an El Cheapo bought from Amazon about 3 years ago….

I used CLS timber for the framework, which is cheap as chips…. but beware the 4×2 CLS is actually 3.5 x 1.5 (or 89mmx39mm, £6.58 per 4.8m length) … I had to modify some of the measurements ….

LOL.. that stem is fitted to a set of rockshox judy forks… headtube is worn on the old trek.. only used for turbo trainer these days…

if anyone wants to have a bash at a DIY project… http://myoutdoorplans.com/furniture/double-chair-bench-with-table-plans/

over tighten and accidentally break a spoke, then best to have Cassette off to begin with… 😉

all the best to you John…. I have to wrangle grand kids this weekend…. 🙁

all should be done and dusted by about 2pm or so….. if in doubt give the Breakpad bike shop a quick call beforehand… 🙂

I started off reading the fantastic book by Roger Musson, in it he gives you plans for bulding your own DIY wheel jig…. like the one below.. to be honest it does take a few attempts to get a decent trued/dished useable wheel… also check out some youtube vids on lacing/building/truing a wheel…. it’s not really a Dark Art… just a great deal of time and patience is what’s needed…. and very therapeutic it is to boot 🙂

Basic wheel dishing tool.

Have a scoot around Google for the thule outride 561 fork mounted rack….see if that would fit the bill… 🙂

until they break…… 🙂

2007 Trek 4500 hard tail (headtube worn, I use it on the turbo trainer now..) being the orthodox tightwad that I am I hate to part with my bikes…LOL

What time does mens coverage start? Busy Saturday but would love to catch the business end, say top 30 riders.

</div>
race coverage starts at 13.00 BST…..

the chainguide I linked to has a BB fitment for bikes without ISCG tabs (I used the BB bracket to fit it to my Steel HT)

get a fiver off by signing up for email newsletters and also a few pence more off if you go through topcashback….I fitted one of these devices to my 2005 Rocky Mountain Blizzard steel hardtail…. does the job just fine

I remember the original series from way back in the day when life was in black&white…..LOL … when push comes to shove they are both remakes of “Swiss Family Robinson”…..LOL…

I enjoyed the 1st episode of the new remake  🙂

It’s a GOD of ones own understanding  (G.O.D= Good Orderly Direction)…. doesn’t have to be a religious deity….. only thing you can do for you mate is to be there to help pick up the pieces, he is the only one who can help him…..

I have stayed in both some years back….. The Ben Nevis Inn is a bunkhouse… but they do food or take yer own…. can get busy in the evenings…. shed to lock up yer bikes if needed (take a few bike lockchains with ya…)

rebuilt this old gal a few weeks ago…. still have the original judy2 forks for it, but decided to replace them with a set of 09 rebas…and also modified it to a 1×10

we stayed here some years ago http://www.cornerhousehotel.com/  good food, beer, beds and a place to lock up yer bikes….

took the plunge and order a pack of five….. delivery was rapid….. 🙂

Mabie House hotel used to have pods…. not sure if they still do.. but worth giving them a phone to find out… https://www.mabiehousehotel.co.uk/

not central I know… but worth a shufty at…. lol

Hmmm.. not working for me either…… :-O

just heard that “Stairway to Heaven” , “The judgement” sections on the black are open….. best check with the staff down at thebreakpad bike shop for up to the minute info….

or beter still , follow the yellow line that I have drawn on the map..

trail map download 🙂

there are two ways to get to McMoab…… go straight on at the end of Rivendell section (instead of turning right onto the fireroad, Red trail), follow the Black trail markers but keep off the Black sections, turn left once you have ridden over the River bridge and then just follow the fireroad until you reach McMoab…

Or you can drive up the A75 and turn right onto the A712, a good few miles down this road you will come to Murrays monument car park, you want to take the right turn about 50m past this car park…. drive down the fireroad and you will see McMoab just over the bridge…. have fun lads… and tight lines…. 🙂

I agree, do Kirrie, you can sleep over at the car park there and then have the 40 min or so drive over to Portpatrick…. are you going to be fishing “The Yellow Isle” or further over to sandeel bay…. there is also dashers den or the High seat, you can always mix up the blue/red route to make things a tad longer down at kirrie….the showers at Kirrie will close when the Breakpad bike shop closes at 5pm

have used them 6 times now from Dalaman airport to Marmaris, and also on the return journey, never ever had a problem with them, even booked through Topcashback to save a few more quid….

took me a week or so to get used to fitting/removal of the lenses… became 2nd nature after a while, because you are not really poking around yer eyball…LOL…

Specsavers do have a FREE trial for lenses, I just pay £20 for a contact lens eye test and then get my prescription filled online for a damn sight cheaper…., and Morrison’s sell saline solution for a few quid per 360ml bottle….

if you want FREE then GIMP is the software of choice, loads of video tutorials on youtube on how to use it  🙂

I have tried this way in the past and it works… 🙂
