yep, just depends what kind of mud you got. are there any tyres that are good in sticky mud?

a few more puddles but its still pretty good.

if youre running a particularly short stem and have a particularly large diameter headset top cup they could interfere, so check that. otherwise go for it.

Probably best off just buying a whole new rear hub, often cheaper than the aftermarket freehub. Then you can use the new bearings and cones aswell

yeah but then you might as well spend that money on a new wheel and keep a spare rim.

tbh OP, just buy a new bike and keep your current one for spares.

Team Fortress 2 anyone?

hell yeah!

boarderlands 2 is my vice though. i NEED to find the sweet guns!

dont worry rorschach, i still like you :D

am i right in saying going from a 175 to a 165 may make it slightly easier to pedal in the same gear ratio

nope, harder. less leaverage innit

wow theres some really nice boxes of stuff there

found this last summer…

meh, i like em without massive pins in em. means they dont destroy your shoes. theyre on a roadbike though.

god, those rockets build into sexy-ass bikes. very nice :-)

people are seriously saying you should annoymously call the police on your own brother?! good god some of the people on here are unbelievable.

how about just telling him to stop being an asshat?

I found rollers without resistance are harder than they sound.

A lock in a seatpost (the seatpost can be removed with an allen key)

still locks everything though…

looks good to me OP :D (but then i am pretty colourblind…)

im sure it rides great though

Will be used for general trail riding

hmm, neither of those bikes will be much fun unless youre thrashing them. slack headangles dont work at slow speeds.

if your general trail riding is going to be thrashing them then im going to reccomened which one i’d want which is the blue pig x :D . ive got the standard bp and everything i want different about it has been addressed with the bpx (wider BB, bigger seat tube, bigger headtube, better steel) .

i dunno if im teaching you to suck eggs, but if youre going to be doing more xc (rather than all mountain) type stuff then youre buying the wrong type of bike.

my friend was a guinea pig to a university test involving beetroot juice and performance. bottom line was that it actually did work, but he really, really begrudged drinking it by the end of the experiment.

it was bought stuff he was on as well. I cant remember the name of it though

the one from alpkit.

they just never looked strong enough to me.

trololol. internet engineer alert!

swansea – cold, rainy, windy, grim, but no snow…yet

I wouldnt, i cant be arsed with the cup and cone thing. sealed bearings last fine for me.

i read something that said they introduced the running bit to try to keep your feet warm.

thats about normal price if you get them from germany.

The Leonardi Factory General Lee is made of a softer material and we will be interested to see how it wears

dear manufacturers. IDGAS about weight. please make this out of steel so i dont have to worry about it wearing out. thanks.

one of these days im gonna start my own component company that just makes everything out of steel…

pressure = force / area

thats my thinking anyway. my friend argues that rim width doesnt play a part in being able to run your tyres at lower pressures, but that its to do with the tyre wall thickness.

u turn wound off?

ragley G6

I know some shifters can be adjusted to be 2x from being 3x

Is there some kind of giveaway sign on the shifters so I can be sure?

you dont need to know. keep the shifter 3 speed but dial in the limit screw on the front mech so you cant shift off the middle ring.

buy one of these and one of these. then replace your biggest chainring with the bash ring and put on the stinger (youll need to take your cranks and bottom bracket cup off). actually, you might not need the stinger if where you ride isnt too gnar. and thinking about it if you dont need the stinger then you wont need the bashring, just buy shorter chainring bolts and take off the big ring.

i presume you have a 32 as the middle ring at the moment, some people change to a 36 or 38 whereas ive kept mine 32. so that part is up to you.

no good bringing it indoors you say?

the boot came off top and bottom on the first ride and it now feels a bit gritty

:?:

i think youre lying

if the medium spring is only just too soft cant you dial in some more low speed compression to help it stay up?

i dunno if this is fun enough but this place looks completely badass

yeah but if you dont buy stuff from your LBS then you dont get good service when things go wrong!

oh wait…

report him to ebay? what a bender :|

So are under seat levers still a shit idea??

yes

switch evos are quiet compared to pro2

those are some sexy ass pedals. shame i ride spds :(
