Did you see a guy on a spesh road bike wave good morning on the Sat ride as I saw you all at Warran house Inn ! 🙂 prob about 10.30?

I was tempted to stop over and say hello – really wanted to swap the road bike for my MTB and join you 🙂

Shame it was Sunday as Sat was a better day when I went to Princetown 🙂

yup – base camp – although the OS mapping is good 🙂

They are just a bit older than the sell by date 😉

I’d be betting that the non-drive collar is too long as said above? The BB drive side should be flush unless as above its an E type?

is the non-drive side collar the right length? – is it 2nd hand – if not I’d grease everything and put the non-driveside collar in first most of the way and then to a final tighten after putting the drive side in?

Edit: damn too late 🙂

Did a “long” training ride for Cornwall Tor this weekend – 5500 ft climbing and 90Km in 3.30 ride time – pretty pleased with that as not lost much fitness over the winter – Started in dullness and wind with a few spots of rain and then into lovely sunshine – Zoned out till the last 10km and got chatting to 2 guys also gonna do the Cornwall Tor – small world!

COOL 🙂

Oh and if you use SPRING10 code you get another 10% off 🙂

I use the self adhesive puncture patche too.

Good alternative – haven’t thought of that.

TBH – buy cheap buy twice for most things 🙂

Helitape also – don’t bother with patches any more – just get a role and cut some squares out and round of the corners with scissors so you don’t catch them – job done 🙂

BTW park tools sent me a free replacement gauge when it failed after 4 years 🙂

Park tools: All good IMHO 🙂

Cynic-al +1:

Had mine for 4 years and perfect 🙂

You can also get parts for it like the long nozzle:

Fashion – I hate white as well 😳

Yup that was slippy as hell – but good fun 🙂

Use a tube cutter instead. Should go through an alloy steerer ok.

Last year was fast but much easier then 2009 – is it back to the old format this year?

Like the citrus myself 🙂

Cool bike – when does it hit the shops? 😉

Great Milkie – glad it helped 🙂

First one was a prototype?

Found this one ?

It’s after midday, surely?

I live in America 😉

Spot on what Muppet says 🙂

You must have house insurance – that would cover you third party I am sure – however I don’t think you’ll win your side d.t. lights!

Personally – sounds like he prob did look either but I don’t think the law is on your side – it would not likely involve the police – prob just seeking costs I would think – perhaps you could settle out of court with the driver if you can’t claim on any insurance?

All my hubs are hope, and they are the easiest things to work on in the world!

Yup I prove that rule 😉

My view:

Bearings are likely on their way out. Freehub often gets stuck on, just needs freeing and you need a new set of bearings for £20 (or if you want to go cheaper) – doesn’t likely need a new hub!

Edit: cassettes get stuck at the smaller sprocket dig into the freehub body but that won’t mean the freehub body is stuck as you can take the lock ring off and pull off the sprockets one by one? Worst case you file down the spikes created in the freehub body as you take them off and you might need a new free hub body if its really bad?

cool 🙂

Best thing I did on my Juicy 7’s was to replace the 160 front rotor with a 185 🙂 Now they are spot on for my HT 🙂 Elixir pads replacement is far easier but not a deal breaker. My mate has more problems with his Elixirs with pad rub then I do with my Juicies however!

Is this a recent thing – could you have an inner ear problem? Otherwise do as ballet dancers do and fix on a spot?

I wish I could get my hands of £450 😉

Wanted an XC FS bike for Transwales – Gulp

🙄

This thread is like a Jeremy Vine show!

Having abused my Kinesis XCPro3 for a year now with alu and carbon and EVEN interefaced 😉 I love it….. I have had 2 road frames, one with cracks but thought to be lacquer and one fork which cracked on first ride but all replaced, no injuries and still ride carbon as well as Alu bikes…..

I have them on my commuter road bike (left over from a new MTB purchase) and they are horrible to get into esp in the wet and they are way to floaty and sloppy – I keep wanting them to break so I can get something better! Admittedly 07′ versions

Frame – say every 3 years – Bike never 😉

Ramps and pins for a outer for me 🙂
