got a raceface bash on at the mo….
yeah i have aluminium shimano rings at the mo and no they dont last long at all…

having a stressfull day i cant even write wot im thinking lol….yeah im after 2 chainrings possible team raceface..

chainrings…do they still have ‘team raceface’ available
:wink:

but if I get it wrong I’m completely stuffed…I’m only 5ft small and if I get it wrong I will end up with back problems…so I need to get it as close to as I have it now.. :wink:

not changing the bars at all tho cos they are carbon monkey lite and i like them….so just a stem change for me but realy struggling to get my size……

i have 3 spacers on it at the moment… where the hell wud i find a 7 degree rise anyway lol…..wud have to get a 10 rise then…really struggling to find a stem tho. why is it so difficult…hahah

yeah my 3 mile walk was all steep uphill today then mostly slid all the way back down on my backside hahaha that was my baby whippet pulling me all the way home lol :wink:

porlus :::: he clearly said no walking so u send her walking up heptonstall hahahha
… if yer off to cinema then the milk bar next door is open…
yeah a walk around the old churches are interesting…quite nice up heptonstall…but then agin its walking doh…. :wink: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: yep he said no mtb climbing or walking… :mrgreen:

its going to SNOW…. :wink:

:wink: lol wheres Loco any advice from him… :wink:

lol yeah think Andy is about right… :wink:

oh its 2 and a half then if you measure from the centre of the top cap to middle of bars… why do you measure from the centre of top cap then can someone explain please. sorry not good with measurements like this.lol

all that is written on the stem is ‘31.8mm’ and underneath it says ‘5N.m’
will see if i can find original receipt but i doubt it will be on there..lol.. looking like it is 90mm tho…

is there no way of finding out wot measurement this orange stalk stem is…..its from orange it was on the bike when it was built up… is there an email for orange bikes someone whom i can ask ??? was out riding with some guys today and they are saying approx 60mm..

eh that doesnt sound rite 89mm ? lol

measured from centre of top cap to centre of bars = 3 and a half inches ..wots that in mm then ..

bells on bikes huh… :oops:…..hmmm yeah its quite funny when walkers slate you for not avin a bell…….

yeah riders who stop half way down the trail shame on you hahahahaha….they just stop dead in your tracks to watch ‘you’ fly down infront…to laugh at you if you fall head over heels into that next big tree !!! :oops: :mrgreen:

yeah i couldnt have a reverb as my frame is 2009…

merry xmas to you all :wink: and have a safe and happy new year too… :P

loosing the scissors and cellotape….why do they always play hde n seek with you everytime…
hate peeling the sprouts,,,,, sooo time consuming lol

lol @ being sprayed by a gritter lorry …jesus i had a similar effect of that whilst on my MTB… going up a steep dirt track in the calder valley when a trials motorbike overtook me at great speed and all the gravel flew at me at speed ..turned my face away and got splatterd with gravel ……not good….. lots of nasy words were flying out of my mouth too !! :mrgreen:

is that a definate no andy lol….. whats the maximum… :wink:

yes its a shame isnt it…. also the guy out of dads army has died too

isnt it about time security was drafted into these trail centres…llandegla seems to b popular for low life scumbags …. yeah yeah its all about extra money but you wont have the worry bout ya bike…. geeez

go for a reputable company im sure someone shall be along shortly to say how happy they have been wih a certain company…..
im sure ‘Orange’ will do a fab job tho…. :wink:.

Ps.. oh sorry i thort you ment an actual decent…downhill…lol…haha

London road is not a decent at all….its a continuous path until you come to a long gate go threw gate for a few hundred metres and turn left at the opening, head down hill and turn right at another gate, straight ahead till you reach another long gate…..from this point its its downhill all the way and quite boggy muddy in places…you reach hebden bridge eventually…get a cake and a brew from town centre then see if you can get up the cobbles…up the butress….you.’ll be glad you had the cake aftet the cobbles…lol

Sizing on knee warmers fafles me, small, medium, large how do you choose
