could i have the broken bits,i’m making a wheel jig

Just checked waist size,orded meatfeast pizza and crate of lager,hate to let the side down with my pathetic 32″ waist

Yes i think fitness is a huge factor in ss choice,not quite there yet.

Not custom more cobbled

You could lend the bike to some old/fat person who wears those “big” shoes with the velcro fastening,those bad boys would polish off the logos in no time.Job done with no effort from yourself.

Camel back bladders are guaranteed for life against bursts take it back or contact c/back direct

Nope they were serviced at the begining of the year

I quite like the brambles that filck the bends in my arms and leave the beautiful multipul scratch marks.

Bring out the agent orange!!!

Any body know where i can source some?

Please leave the forum,you make me sad.

A friend had a sun ringle brand new rear,the free hub developed some play almost straight away,its still at the menders,apparently its quite a common fault.

Go to your local motorbike shop and get some 15w fork oil its about 4000000% cheaper than rockshox own brand and just the same

Respect for the chin/forhead bum crack combo

Realy want to like Evans being an ex world MBR champ and an Aussi but i can’t seem to muster any love so heres hoping 1 second a KM is going to be enough,after all there are no scary steep hills to go down.Come on Andy!!

The way i look at it is,i could decend faster and better than they could erect a conservatory,therefor i’m better than them.

Did one my self on an old gt frame for mrs daznal.I cut an old knackered frame up,fitted the old disc adapter to the brake caliper,put the back wheel with brake disk on on to the frame,clamped the caliper onto the disk(using the brake lever),this assured alignment then welded the bit off of the knackered frame to the seat stay of the gt.Easy

Go down to your local dumpit there are thousands of old frames there.

Try an angle grinder key(the one used to remove the lock ring that holds the blade on)there are various sizes and one might fit

2009 they have a bit of a rep for parting company at the joint between the seatstay and the chainstay

Buy one if you want to experience what a collapsing rear triangle feels like as you’re hammering down your fave bit of knarly trail(it hurts)

Is the guy from Liverpool?he might have had it custom painted to match his shell sute

Been diving a few times up there took the bike,no real trails,just road work

Yes i know that but in position 1 or 3,i can’t remember which,the bob is is reduced to almost zero effectivly “locked out”but whatever you call this function its not working so can i fix it or is it a shop job?

yes it does

No squelching or leaks it just doesnt “lock out” in any of the three positions

My friends giant anthem because he rides it like a 3 1/2 year old girl

What kind of rims are those?difficult to make out

Good point

Is it a van is it a car?Acouple of friends have the citroen berlingo or one of its derivatives,we’ve had 4 biglads and 4 bikes in it with no probs.

If its that dangerous,stop and move the rocks your self.Stop whinging on this forum and spend your time fixing the trail.If the log/rock gremlins have been at work on the trails i ride,i stop and move them.(sits back tries to think calm thoughts)

If the hope bearings are shot,just knock them out and replace the bearings(you can get replacements from your local bearing specialist,mine were £2 each)thats the great thing about the cnc masters!

Front mech

“Do you think you would be able to detect a 0.5 degree change in an angle? 1 degree? 2 degrees? 5 degrees? How large does a change need to be before you notice it?”

I’m talking about bikes with simular geomatry from different manufactures not ones with hugely different head angles

Have tried various hard tails over the years,steel,ali and carbon and if i was bieng honest and wearing a blind fold(not to be recomended)i wouldnt be able to tell them apart.The handling characteristics were all basically the same

Try the new 10spd 9 cog bad boy from hope,it combines the freehub and cassette in one so they can achive the nine tooth cog.No more damaged freehubs.Its luvley

Yes its the ryde,will tell him to take it back,cheers

Any one?

Any thing codene based=bum cork,try ex lax chockies and drink plenty of water

Mmmm the old yeti seat stay breaking trick.Best to consign it to the ever growing pile of broken rear yeti triangles,although to be fair its usualy the 575’s that give up the ghost.Go for the new frame

Is the added niche the 15ft seatpost?

Mmm checked the spelling and punctuation,couldn’t find any thing to comment on there,not even a pic to pull apart.Only the fact that you’ve bought a bike that translates to “the peter” gives me any thing to smile about.

Sad day

Nice tyre logo/valve alignment and matching dust caps too.Mrs mbarnes must be very proud
