Don’t go off like a rocket – just wind up the friction steadily – take a towel and some drink and a close fitting top to allow you to sweat if its warm!

Cheers 🙂

OK – cheers – my mates are bent but eventually may sell them if repaired – I’ll look at the Merlin link – cheers 13th 🙂

Many thanks Simon 🙂 Thought so 🙁

I got a cheap FSA crank set for £45 with decent FSA rings on them as spares!

Hey cummon Macavity – most of those ref. in that article are to do with obesity and sugar!

Yes I’m going esp to test ride some bikes – looks fun and much better than when I went in 08′ in London 🙂

As above 1km test track and also a purchase area !!! 🙂

+1 for velcro and reduces chain slap noise to boot 🙂

Try the Feed station – last place I got mine 🙂

http://www.thefeedstation.com/ usually get some free!

Ooops 🙁

Cheers Simon 🙂

I think its more the break than the beer 😉 – when you get wound up your objectivity goes out the window – you need to step back, take a break, rethink, relax and then go back fresh 🙂

Cool – cheers

LOL – I did a MTB ride yesterday with 3000 feet of climbing over 40K – it did not feel like I only burnt 1500 calories 😉

Otherwise all fine 🙂

I think so (IIRC) but I am sure someone will confirm?

I dunno – Mine has a bit of twist still TBH – I think the bushings are not a majorly close fit – I wonder whether the new 120 post has closer tolerances? I dont think the little bit of play you describe is a sign of a fault from what I have read?

LOL – yeah 🙂 Shame as we went off track to get up there tis all 🙂

Cheers 🙂

Found it on google maps satellite! – the start is not clear from the top 🙁 we missed it. I guess follow it down with the wall on your left? next time 🙂

I wrote it up – Does anyone see any glaring errors in my method?

Both 😉 HT is great for most things but after a while tech trails centres get a bit bangy for me?

carbon paste around the bottom (or grease but I’d prefer not to) and grease around the moving parts on the clamp sections 🙂

Are you sure its not the rails on the seat?

IMHO No – just lighter 🙂 Now XTR Ti Chain rings – perhaps.

I guess it not this one?

or this description?

I have settled on a winter toad bike with drops and full mudguards – not trendy but great in the winter weather!!!

My mate and I both have had mount visions as well 🙂

My £43.50 one from Wiggle arrived yesterday – very nice too

me too – however I have not had car transport to get it back from work until Sat 🙂

True FOG – very civilised so far 😉 LOL

I got a map clear wallet – I guess I could put a board in it and then have it on the bars?

I think I can 😉

Oh dear Realman – your gonna get flammed now!

Fanks 🙂

Have the bushes worn out or just require tightening?

+1

Original at any rate 😉

Yeah thats Wiggle current pitch – Great head liner unlike you find something you want to buy and its already 10 or 20 % off 😉

20% of list price! it must have 10% off RRP already?

The South Dartmoor one @ South Brent – be good to do it in a group?

I used to be in the Scouts & Done D of E etc so map reading / compas use not too bad.

+1 Votchy – mine is a bit closer IIRC as well – I thought it was dish but its not – also check you swingarm bearings are a similar distance on the axle stubs – I.e. check bearings – disconnect the shock one end and move the swingarm when the wheel is removed?

as above but 110 is the axle length in mm as well.

I reckon try decent fitting Allen keys first – Cheap ones are awful – they round as they dont fit well enough and allow rotation inside the head every time you torque it!!
