Deleted – Actually I can be arsed to reply to this post – pointless!

The cleaning should not be limited to the outside – clean the insides at well (but not with water ;) )!

I got a cheap Gamut off the classifieds and just set the limit screw:

DHB arn’t bad – still use mine for commuting and MTB – just got some Casetllis for longer road rides but they are kept for non-MTB!

doesn’t say what type of battery – bet its not a Li – prob Nicad at that voltage? Hopefully not Lead acid!

I am afraid I tend to – told some kids last year to get some as I passed them!

Cycled in and will be cycling home! 8O

Sorry I was talking crap about the prexisting – that’s only for IS front. Confusing myself now!

The MTBR is right. You need (and I assume you have) the 40mm IS and 60mm PM fitting as above which use 2 sets of std Avid blts :)

Ahhhh – OK that’s a bit easier then :)

You just need std CPS kit for 160 mm rotors?

The 203 adapters bolt to the existing 160 adapters with a std Bolt?

Take that back – you can still get 200mm Avid sweeps rotors.

Well the PM ones usually have slotted holes you can moved them around?

IIRC you prob have a post mount front and an IS back? That is why they are different – IS front and back are interchangable.

So you need a IS rear 200mm Avid adapter :)

That’s because avid rotors are now 203 – you can get a 203mm rotor kit – only 3mm – should be fine with your 200 rotors you could just shim the adapter?

Or dont use Avid hardware – just use other mounting kit for FR/Rr suck as formula?

You mean you can’t get the bolt out – just put a screw driver in the other end and tap it out after unscrewing it – I would assume its the weight of the bike on the axle stopping you from easily withdrawing the bolt no?

My 2004 was the same design – the axle unscrews – you have to unload the weight off the shock and just pull the axle out – it screws in one side of the linkage only – you just then pull the shock upward/lift the saddle and the shock eyelet slips out.

Yes I have the RX1 flavor but I have yet to use them – sorry :oops: Look good though :)

Good find selaciosa – I use halfrauds DOT 5.1 for DOT systems :) Pretty cheap as well.

Give them a ring first if its not local unless they have a big bike dept? Their stock varies quite a lot?

I hate to suggest it but what about your local bikehut/halfrauds?

Edit darn – too late ;)

I have a pack of KMC ones somewhere – just biding my time until I find them ;) My memory is not so good anymore – I put them somewhere……

@Loco – similar but they arn’t designed to come apart afterwards.

Like these? :

I did buy some KMC QL’s but I lost them in my workshop, UNOPENED as well :(

No probs ;) LOL

LOL yeah – Cruella Deville styley

Sorry my little joke ;) Obviously a bit subtle – changed ;)

My Kinesis XCPro3

I’m after the LTD frameset and yes its very nice ;) Saw one in the flesh @ the cycle show mmmmmmm

The rear triangle flexes and is designed to (trail rumble) but it is a race bike of course so yes it very stiff but the shock then kicks if the trail becomes rocky.

@ I-Ache – I don’t having ridden the 2011 Pro :)

@Loco – no frame only a bit delayed, its coming though :( Although I’m training for the JOGLE now so I have less distractions for the winter ;)

Is this a civil issue rather than a criminal one or is that just for riding on footpaths?

I expect it is to stop people looking like they have 2012 forks – “although you upgrade your not gonna have top of the line looking forks” ? Maybe I’m wrong – as above they may very well be spare 2011’s?

Should be fine.

Have a look here also?

Are you using one of these – I presume they are not double hex/torx?

see if Troutie can upgrade them for you – did mine they are great and get a battery from smudge or above ? :)

and get a new chain ? if you have gone bigger?

Ah yeah forgot TRP – Yumm :)

Or a nice Hope Road BB :)

CRC have an FSA sale ATM BTW if you want to stick with an FSA BB:

Although this is obvious the more you pay the better the breaking (i.e. less flex, greater armiture and better pads) you get – to a point :)

The ultegra is similar – half way between silver and black FWIW :)

Oops that should have been £10 for a 25% voucher of everything ;)

Ahh OK – Well Campag, KCNC & Tecktro might be worth a look :)

I got myself some Campag Skeletons (Veloce but now Centaur upwards) and they are good but not as good as my Ultegra ones :)

Absolutely nothing wrong with Shimano calipers IMHO!

wow loads of answers – cheers guys :)
