😛

Also as above worth checking the rose/ spherical type bearing on the shock as these tend to go more than the dog bearings,
TF stock them
dog bearings also tend to feel a little rough as normal

I have the dogbone bearings I have a supplier who can get them,
will dig them out and get the number off the packs

are u looking new or second hand?
Take it you want something around the 26lbs to 30lbs mark
as u don't want owt too heavy?

Good mates
Probably would be shagging your missus behind your back 😉

cpc or farnells

Just self amalgamating tape used in electrical work Sat LNB connectors etc,
would just use a tube and save some cash thou

think thats how they are

Gore goretex paclite
bit pricey but lightweight packs up really small

What's the sub floor ( boards / concrete)
what sort of wood floor system are u thinking of using?

Yep bought an XPS about 2 years ago,
It was supposed to have a cosmetic scatch on it, but its so small i struggle to see it and is on a replaceable panel any way, couldnt understand why they didnt put a panel on it and sell as new?

White spirit to get the glue off

3 choices really
1. As above ( tell them you don't want it call there bluff)
2. Grin an and bear it ( whilst looking for new job)
3. Redundancy of your current will follow if u don't accept,
they will use the business need argument

If i remember correctly, when trueing these you use to set up the wheel then place a small blob of loctite on them.
They have an anti rotation plastic part between the spoke and the adjuster
(part of the assembly) which squashes out when you first fit a replacement spoke etc…

Think the carbon soles are on the dragons or used to be,
Mine use the SRS ones but they are simlilar
If you mean the mid foot part theat is sometimes extra to the kit but you can get it.
If you mean the complete sole of the shoe then no, but this is not really subject to any wear as the inserts are the bit that wear down.
Provided you put a little grease in the srew holes whEen fitting new inserts they always come out ok too.
Great summer or race shoes but a little cool for winter use as they are very well ventilated
😛

Been today
Nice and dry!

Now thats just wrong!

Yep,
Had mine years, on third set of soles, uppers still fine 5 years on 😛
Sidi Cafe,total cycling or CRC do the sole kits,

What the hell is this country coming too.!!
What next, sorry I can't go to war coz I'm having my hair done
or it's the wrong time of the month and I'm riding the cotton pony!

Combo as u say

Maybe a bit of grit behind 1st set of seals but prob bearing, I'd take the arms off and tale a closer look

I agree as nice as the middleburns are.
for the money I would buy an xt set up now though
the new middleburns for outboard bottom Brackets are nice
but prob a lot more than you want to spend at the mo

There's nothing there honest
( for **** sake give it 2 weeks it I'll be as busy as hope valley full of weekend warriors,
complaints to the council and shut down)
cheers,
moral: if u see something, ride it but keep it to yourself

Taxi,
Is your cat getting a bit deaf maybe being oldish?
Hence the loud meowing?

Seems good money to me
like Hadge say's (badgist)

Other that paper bag on your head!
God that thing is sooo ugly 😛

Lightweight= Lack of Fitness???
Or buy a road bike 😯

Yep
Its the warmer weather
Cant seem to make up its mind
Sunny i'll stay out
Cloudy I;ll go in
❓

See MTBR forum site for details of upgrade kit to later bearing kit without crush tubes and zerk grease fittings.
I believe the kit is retro-fittable

Nop-
didn't buy it bud it had a bit of damage on th I.S mount I think
plus it was going to be a little big for me size wise having looked at the numbers

lol

I'd leave him 😛

Sign of a true friend,
A lot of so called friends these days would have just picked up the phone or not bothered at all.
But you made an un-selfish gesture by going to see him as hard as it was seeing him ill.
I feel for you, as i have to lost friends i grew up with at a young age.
Looking back though, I now only remember the good times.

I rode mine today near sheffield if that counts,
maybe worth having a word with Extra this week to see if they can tell you where to try for a ride on a large demo?

Ooh has some one measured them or is it gossip ?

Si Where's the pedals??
Head angle is the same for all models 67.5 or 69 in 6" travel mode?

i have seen kits somewhere for kitting out vans

When you feel the need to ask on here

Day off required dude

Which head unit ??
