Just bought one. fingers crossed……

bump. anyone?

nice, i like it. just a wee bit different. oh, where you get the sofa cover, i need something like that fgor the spare room 🙂 seriously. 😀

This may sound a bit ridiculous and it may just have been a coincidence. However my friend has this problem and i found that he had pretty much just over tightened every screw/bolt on the shifters. Loosened them slightly and things seemed to ease a little. As i said, couldve just been a fluke.

new cables is also a good shout as dirt grime etc inside the outters would cause stickyness 🙂

would get waaaay more for his money going second hand….. look at the on-one in classifieds for example.

neilsonwheels, you selling? 🙂

what model of msr is it? is the pole alloy? what length and diameter is it? i have quite a few spares so may have one that would be suitable. wouldnt cost you anything, except from an stw pint….

It makes me smile to know that the STW'ers are a bunch of good eggs really. I have fortunately very little experience i can share or any advice. I just want to add another stone of good luck to the mountain of support given already…. good luck & stay strong Mark, and Meg.

white looks good, but all black looks better 🙂

definitely 19, the vivid colour is amazing

cheers guys! i knew i wouldnt be let down 😀

cheers for the offer bs. but thats a little more than what im looking to spend, just now 🙂

I am pretty much in the same boat, but im off to the Swiss alps soon. im going to try a slightly different set up (and change it when im there if it doesnt work). Im using a compact front chainset, long cage rear mech and an xtr mtb cassette to get the gear ratios. im gonna go for it on the climbs and rest on the downhills. also the thought of a cold beer lake side when i get back will keep me going…. 😀

Foxychick – for the first few turn offs, i thought that too!!

should i have just kept that quiet?

please forgive my nievity, where was SSUK ’09 held?

is that why theres is a connection problem? or is it just my crap router?

Perth City Cyles and Richards in Perth are ok. Dundee has a couple decent ones too. Spokes on Perth Road and BikeWorx in the centre. Depends what your looking for really……

Joxter – i do indeed need a 56cm as MLC has Poirot-esque worked out (i mention it in the thread 🙂 ). What size frame, price and do you have any pics? can you please reply to my email address in profile?

anyone?

ha ha,no worries Ed2001.it confused me a little, but i was just going to blame the Wolf Blass! 😀

thats great, cheers guys. especially Spongebob. very helpful…

can you pay up the balance early or do you have to pay monthly?

its not the Halfords one (prob wouldve gone for the ever talked about CBoardman). The company i work for uses the Cycle2work scheme……

p.s. dont use dubbing. its bad for the stitching.

Use a pure soap cleaner (nikwax sponge applicator) to remove any grime, dirt, gunk etc etc. Dont artificially dry them using a hair-dryer or next to a radiator. will dry out leather even more. let them dry naturally in a utility room/airing cupboard. then get hold of a brown tinted brasher leather conditioner (not only does it condition the leather it also waterproofs it. made using the same stuff as grangers leather conditioner). preferably use you hand and work a small amount into the leather as the heat from your hand makes the cream penetrate deeper into the leather. leave over night and apply a little more. i would suggest wearing them around the house to stretch out and flex the leather again (especially after such a long time). the leather should hopefully be ok after this…..
