My friend who helped build it up couldn’t get the 180 or a 160 rotor to fit using a standard adapter and he has had to use his ingenuity to knock something up that fits. Is this a common problem with this frame?

Really? I’ve had BB7 160mm Rear (apparently they never fit, that’s bollox!) and shimano 160mm both standard mounts in 2 slot drop out 29er inbreds (19.5″), bit of faff with the BB7’s but all worked out well, get the chain length right and it’ll all go together…What was the issue?

Knee pads, cos after 20 yrs riding MTBs I’m still shit and fall off me bike a fair bit :oops:

^^ blimey Alex, glad my daughters have gone back home to their mum just now, I’d have lost next months salary had they seen that,,, nice!!

Sounds about right for tredz. If they got their shit together I’d use them a lot more. again.

Awww, poor Khani :cry:

GF x-cal, fooking orsums….and MINE! 8)

Have exactly same dilemma , just bookmarking this for history. :wink:

Trusty ol’ inbred, had a few tweaks and changes since that pic, but you get the general idea….

I’ve had a black one on one of my bikes over winter and can confirm it goes shinier than a shiny thing after a few rides.

Mine arrived today, as above ^^ M fits a 32″ waist poifick! A little shakedown ride in them tomoz me finks 8)

Nice one OP!

Usually run 30R/28F for dry conditions. Rode last night having not checked the pressures for a couple of weeks and checked them when I got home and found 21psi in the rear. Was great over the rooty, rocky stuff that last nights ride spat at us but dragged like a dead sheep on the road linky sections. (2.2 nevegal 29er)

I bought an Inbred 29er slot dropout frame just before xmas and hafta say the paint job seems far superior to my last 2 inbred frames.

Went out with a couple of Strava whippets last night…This morning I am hurt :(

I think CTBM had some frames in stock last time I looked.

Couldn’t quite make out whether she got her phone back? :?

Well posted OP, listening now after finally settling the ‘dustbin lids’ to sleep 8)

:D The scrunch n’ stuff method seems to be the least amount of faffage!

I’ve seen your mugshot on here yunki, you look a bit scary tbh…On that basis I would deffo have avoided eye contact, dropped a couple gears and mashed my way into the horizon :wink: :D

Jaysus!!

Shocking eh? Mind you that was London/H Street prices, so I guess if a jobs worth doing and all that…

Still more doh than my bikes and car put together tho :|

MTB hall of fame (or somebody) should buy it to keep it safe

This ^^ Really sad the family have to sell, hope it goes to a good home!

I know 2 people that have had veneers done within the last 12 months, £8-9K for top set only front to back, done properly….Frightening!! 8O

*applauds roverpig* amen!
…Also, sometimes its about wanting what you’ve got rather than having what you want.

Fibre-tastic! S’all good! If worried visit the Golden Arches more often :D

I’ve only ever surfed overseas but the general secret ‘shhhhh’ concensus appears to be a place starting with ‘C’ and ending in ‘e’ on the Devon coast for some lovely cheeky breaks :wink:

95% of Westcliff is a total shithole, the remaining 5% falls well outside of the OPs stated budget.

FFS, total shithole? It’s not that bad in comparison to a lot of other places Afghanistan, and sizeable parts of it are really nice. Then again, I may be thinking of the 5%. Chalkwell

FTFY matey :wink:

^^ there’s a lot of crap been said…

This is STW, what else did you expect?

If you want to get near Southend then best area would be Westcliffe

Do you know this area? 95% of Westcliff is a total shithole, the remaining 5% falls well outside of the OPs stated budget.

@Khani – Just been thinking about some of the trails I used to ride out Galleywood/Margaretting way when I lived there years ago, totally forgot about them until this thread! Well worth a re-visit :D

Essix born n’ bred here…

Lived in numerous places including SWF, went to school there, married there, divorced there, bit predudice to there :wink:

Lived in Chelmsford and Billericay, both nice places but now live in Rayleigh and love it here and from where I live chelmo and sarfend are equi-distant.

Aviod SOS itself as a nightmare getting in and out for the C/Ford commuter. BTW if you look at Chelmsford Gt Baddow is lovely and Galleywood great for easy access trails!

The one with the proper size wheels.

Dull webex meeting

pdf/others looking at the pump – just while I remember, if you elect to go down the pump route, ask about switching to “apidra” as your insulin of choice, anecodotally its easier to fill cartridges with and is quicker acting than hum/nov and the like :wink:

Third for washing up liquid, just dont cover your gob with a buff during winter and you should be all good!

Post fail!

No harm done Northwind and no apols required…We’re all in this thing together :D

Eh, you don’t need dafne to carb count- it’s a pretty simple idea. Go back to the mid 80s and it was standard practice. What’s changed is that the insulin caught up and allowed the simple dose adjusting. I’d recommend DAFNE for anyone that’s new to it or struggling though.

OP- let me quantify my statement, I did mean learning to carb count, if you can learn to do it without a course then that’s cool! Similar ratios to me, pretty much 1u per 10g carbs

Harry, that’s great! Things are moving so fast technology and research-wise your daughter will be just fine!

OP- let me quantify my statement, I did mean learning to carb count, if you can learn to do it without a course then that’s cool! Similar ratios to me, pretty much 1u per 10g carbs :wink:

Yep that all sounds very familiar….get a foam roller and embrace the pain!! :twisted:

Fenred – I’m under Broomfield as well. What pump did they give you? I’ve done the BERTIE course and have been religiously carb counting, etc for the last 6 months. Got a checkup appointment in a few weeks and will be asking them if I can go on a pump as think it will suit me. Thanks

I’ve got a medtronic minimed, mines 3.5 years old now so the pump they will supply you with may or may not be the same but as far as I know they are still giving out the medtronic pumps. Jane/Margaret and the team at Broomfield are awesome! I was in the first 15-20 to go on the pump when they introduced it so it was a little bit ‘new’ to them too but they have tons of experience now and the support you will receive (including them calling you during the evenings for the first couple of days to make sure you’re OK) is great!
From the sounds of things, your lifestyle should suit the pump well and it is a revelation not having to carry 2 different pens etc around on a night out etc. You WILL have far fewer hypos once you get everything dialled and for riding and being able to reduce your basal rate within a couple of button clicks is, for me just fansastic and takes the stress out of the ‘guess’ work. BERTIE/DAFNE courses are ESSENTIAL imo I really dont know how diabetics can control BS without being able to carb count.

Good luck with it, my email addy in profile if you have any questions, happy to discuss with you. 8)

Lots of different issues have popped up on here, so here’s my take FWIW….

Firstly, anyone considering the pump should be aware it’s like starting all over again, getting basal and bolus levels right is a chore and you WILL experience highs/lows/mood swings/despair blah blah but from personal exp its well worth the bumpy ride in the long run YMMV.

Secondly, the pump is VERY durable, I never wear mine externally, always with a tiny hole cut in my pockets and I feed the line through. I’ve come offf the bike numerous times and all has been good. I have a friend in Canada that raced DH for a factory team and MX/Enduro at National level and bins it regularly and he’s never broken his pump from a crash.

Third, get hooked up to a good diabetes centre, I use Broomfield in Chelmsford in Essex and they are ACE!!

Fourth, the high BM post hypo is contributed to 2 things, either over eating at point of hypo or not catching it quicly enough and “rebounding” whereby the liver kicks out the bodys ’emergency supply’ of glucose and topped up by what you’ve put into your system…We’ve all had that and know how shit that feels the next day!
With the pump you only need your quick acting glucose and thats it, no long acting carbs required, jelly babies for me and many others, trust the pump if you are using one, it’s a little box of magic once you have it all dialled! :D

The emotional/partner side is a whole different topic, all I know is I’m better controlled now therefore a much nicer person to be around, happy to give a few character asssasination witness numbers out tho if anyone’s interested :oops:

HTH….
