Also very useful for GT trail conditions.

Nice hijack Pastcaring! Still I guess £360 was more than I had hoped to spend, even if the shock is the dogs danglies!!

Pastcaring would you think about selling on your Van RC to me?

Thanks anotherdeadhero – I’ve bought one of the cheapo drivers from the DX website, I’ll give it a bash. Thanks G

+1 For the boat, just check sailing times as its seasonal.
I got caught out when I did it many moons ago.

Any idea of a ball park price for second hand CCDB…

Acronis true image. Onto a usb external hard drive.

thanks for the feedback – I reckon I may well give this a go.
I’ve had the same experiences as you ‘pastcaring’ with the RP23 – done the shim mod, it works but its not ideal, was thinking either coil or low vol air sleeve for the RP23.

Any idea what the reliability is like of SH coil shocks? I’m guessing its better than an air can as not quite the same pressure on seals etc.

Anyone got a coil shock for sale…?

I recently had to do this as well I found:

seems like a bargain compared to: http://www.magicshineuk.co.uk/Bike-Light-Accessories/288-c £45 + £7.99 for the case – your havin’ a larf

[/quote]did Greg sort it in the end ?

Yes, I took your advice and called Turner direct. Greg was really good to deal with, the custom colour option was great and its nice to see good customer care in action.

Thank you Cougar I will give that a go!!

No one had an exploding Joplin, c’mon I don’t beleive it.

I try and pick it up and bin it. I picked up 5 burst tubes all near spooky woods a couple of weeks back.

Wee scroats that need to grow up!

whereas I rode the Trans Provence (350km of the rockiest badassed riding in Europe) with a UST RQ 2.2 on the back with no punctures. It’s a funny old world.

The UST version is fine, its heavier, so I can only suppose this helps it with pinch flats. I’ve run both. I prefer the UST version. It was fine.

Tis a funny old game etc etc.

Nearly as dull as the “How dare you carry a large backpack with you thread”

I’ve got a Non UST 2.2 rubber queen with black chilli as my back tyre.
Its REALLY prone to pinch flats.

I think its because its so thin, Cont dropped the sidewall protection thats in the 2.4 version to loose weight on the 2.2.

I’ve not been that impressed, I’ve never had so many flats with any other tyre. Good front tyre though as its got loads of grip on wet rock and the usual surface found at GT etc.

Thanks for the advise Khani, I’ll give Greg a call tomorrow.

Certainly feel like it. Woeful customer service in the UK from silverfish. Emails don’t get answered (or at least not quickly), the girl who answered the phone didn’t want to know.

Not bashing Turner as the small spare part I sent from the US arrived really quickly. Just surprised at how poor the UK service is. Anyone else had any luck dealing with Silverfish?

2009 5Spot – Taco weld is failing, slowly, but those cracks are slowly growing.

Part of the reason I got it was Turner’s “Legendary” CS.

Forgot that i don’t actually live in the states.

screwfix sell good cheap cable cutters, did my Goodridge hose’s no problem.

Is this using the same LED’s as lumicycles non XPG model?

I’ve got a Turner Burner (Lg, black) frame, with RP23 shock and new bush kit fitted. I thinks it’s somewhere in-between the flux and a 5spot. Great all day ride.

Email in profile if your interested. Looking for £375 + post.
That will include the RP23, salsa QR.

I use a presta to schrader converter as a valve cap on one of my wheels. This means you can use a forecourt air hose if in town.

Out on the trail I use it to avoid the bent presta valves, they do indeed appear to be made from cheese. The adaptor is a couple of quid from LBS.

Spokebloke, I bought a Wonderbike Onethelight “Marrow” last year, direct from Jay of Wonderbike. Lovely guy to deal with… however the light I bought is more or less identical to a DX Bastid unit.

Surely he has just had the Magicshine Units re badged as his own, he lives in the same city etc.
On the plus side the battery bag supplied is much better than the DX bag. This may be a moot point with the new battery design.

He is very convincing that the lights are not Magicshine’s re-badged but having used both I can’t help but think he’s in bed with them on some level.

If I was concerned about warranty I would still purchase from you, just not sure about the spraff that its in anyway different from the new DX model.

Hi Tom, what do you think is wrong with them?
It might help you get a better answer.

I use this one, even cheaper than Ebay:

Works a treat.

Thanks for the advise, and the pics.

Just take a mobile phone with you and you might not (might, mind) die.

Cheers Lowey, I meant the mont blanc bike carrier called – scott

Anyone?

May be a bit small but its only £99!! There are other bigger versions available.

+1 for the Edinburgh Bicycle one. Keep an eye on their sale offers.

Have the replacements supplied been any better? Or have they all ended up on the classified page?

Not sure if I want a rusty headset!

FoxyRider – I think the Hope zero stack are for bikes with integrated heasets only. Though I could be totally wrong…

Mackem – what version have you got?

anyone?

Any joy?

Syncros do some as well:

New build

I ride mainly round the Peebles area so, Glentress & Innerleithen, the occasional trip up north.

If I'm being realistic its 90% man made scottish trail centres, 10% natural trails. Not really into swapping tyres around so looking for the best all rounder.

There's a £15 difference between the two, leaning towards the Maxxis.
Is the 2.25 Ardent wider than the RQ 2.2?

Did you get your forks fixed Hora?

WD40 gets rid of the sticky residue as well.

I had my 2k FSR recovered from the Fort a couple of years back. Its a number one hot spot in Leith for stolen bikes. Should'nt be too hard for plod to grab that one.

Keep us posted.
