    Ok well I’ll try B&Q tomorrow, should I go for M10 then?

    Unfortunately no LBS in my town, nearest one about 15 miles.

    It’s only one headset (cheapo halfrauds bike) bought a nice FSA one to replace the rubbish they put in, only really bothering because I like to muck around with stuff.

    Another question; if I buy an actual press, does it do all sizes of headsets/cups?

    Yea they are very expensive for a seemingly simple piece of kit

    I was getting worried because the stuff the Coyote used never really worked.

    Back on a serious note this is how they are specced on the bike I’m getting; Fox 34 Rhythm, 150mm Travel, FIT4 Damper, Boost 15×110, Tapered.

    Just wanted to be able to find a service guide for them, for the future.

    Thanks, because I’ve bought a bike with boost, so its just a wheel strength thing then.

    Hey folks, thanks for the replys, its a small bike shop in Newry N. Ireland, it was a holiday on Monday after all and in fairness to the guy (owner I think) he did say that he wouldn’t sell me a bike without it being right.

    From what you guys have said I’ll go in with the L size in mind as this matches the size charts/what you have said/ own opinion.

    I’m going in tomorrow, the 10% discount he’s offering to employees of where I work is too much to pass on.

    Good advice guys thanks, just waned to make sure the size charts, shop guy and owners agreed on size.

    dougiedogg

    Yes I did, a medium with no peddles lol. It was on Monday so the guy who deals with sizing wasn’t in.

    As someone said the climb to the top of Slieve Martin is tough. The red trail is great though with some nice sections through the middle parts, the final downhill is great too. I ride it regularly and really enjoy it. The drive down from Newry is great as well.

    No pies in N.I unfortunately, but bacon sandwiches are a great substitute. I like this bimbling idea.

    Haha didn’t think about the dishwasher seals or the stink, I havn’t done it anyway, was just wondering. So bike parts and dishwashers a no no then?

    Yea just the lowers, not sure they would fit but it would def get them clean inside, might destroy the seals though.
