Hi, just so I’m clear, youre saying it’s when the pointer reaches 5 even if the bolt is still turning?

For my 516 it was 10% off value plus that value in vouchers from wheelbase bikes and they’ve been a great shop too. It was after the demo weekend I attended.

It’s quite old xt btw

Hi it’s a fulcrum wheel set, dont think they do hubs on their own. Was wondering about xtr, are they as quiet as xt once were?

Yeah!

That Jag was lush

Ooh great thanks will get looking cheers

Nice site thanks, no e13 sadly though

Well it would probably be worth it except they don’t have the one I’m after in stock. Will try again some time cheers

Hey, tidy link! Ta again

Will take a look ta

cheers guys, what i imagined then 🙂 just plumped for a 1st gen 16gb model and was hoping to have an excuse for it, ah well! 🙂

similar story here, first ride it slipped, but after a tighten it held. it was a carbon one and it did soften the ride a lot. getting the saddle out 6 months later was an ordeal. I’ve gone back to thomson, i like the look of the sumo though

good point James, will investigate max warranted A to C, not just travel

thanks dlr, currently using some ancient 20mm pikes too and not too willing to go for a 32 with 15mm, but willing to be proved wrong on a test ride. i weigh about 17 stone in riding gear so it’s going to be obvious i think, my old qr floats were everso bendy

great stuff thanks,

actually, chakapig, don’t suppose you’ve swapped off any of the lapierre branded parts have you?

wondering if you weighed them?

cheers

cheers i thought as much, im not really after the extra travel, just the 20mm axle and stiffiness anyways.

cheers, liking what I’ve read so far esp the lights feature

cheers Scruzer, Crosstrax are getting demos in in the new year 🙂 great

ive managed most the year with advantage big on the rear, its fast and although shallow the breakout seems to be fun instead of terrifying. tbh if i could afford a new winteryer tyre i would swap it out but actually its good enough. (on a squiggly full suss so plenty of contact with the ground)

cheers ygm back, my email often gets caught in spam filters though

why would a frame with one set of bearings last any longer in dirty conditions than a multipivot frame?

isn’t the sealing the issue? or is it size of bearings?

Remedy, yep its interesting how many bikes are using a tapered 32mm fox fork these days when they had a 36 before and still could.

is the shimano bolt through and a tapered steerer really that good?

the last 120ish travel bike i tried was a long time ago really so maybe it is time to try the new breed

mines a old style Reign and actually, its amazing. just heavy, and baggy, and brown, and not spangly and new

you know how it is

blimey thebikechain you have some tasty brands in, nice to see some things like ibis lapierre and yeti in one place.

ah, cheers, the real Edinburgh then. who knows i may have to make a bit of a trip good to know you have them.

Dalby though, yep close thanks Dave will look them up.

hi cuppatea, edinburgh bikes? or the actual place? im in Leeds so one of those options is good 🙂

its amazing the passions that this phone generates. i have a friend who could actually give himself a hernia ranting about the iphone or ipad, it only takes a gentle prod to set him off 😀

love my 3GS

great ride reports ta guys

snow in Leeds

swoon

cheers batman, how tall are you? im 6 2 and prob would have an XL.
not much we can do about ‘tall’ looking bikes really is there, i had wolfridge years ago and the headtube must have been 7 inches long 🙂

hi Jamie, which size frame is that?

thanks Dibbs, good to know, how else does it do? happy with it?

got my iphone 3gs but i kind of assumed a dedicated unit would be better?

have a looky at ilounge.com they have some great guides for stuff like this, enjoy 🙂

agreed, and you don’t need to be some kind of expert to get a great picture.

off topic a bit – is the One Show deliberately filmed with flat dingy lighting so it looks ok on a badly set up flat screen?

duh i find that insulting, my telly is the best
