Pic of the silver hose?

Thanks all.
I have some trail trainers for summer, some more sturdy trainers for wet days and the Gelert boots so the collection has started already. :-)
The walks are countryside rather than mountainous.
I’ll give the gelerts another couple of goes to see how the feet are, if no better then time to spend.
Had a quick butchers in Go outdoors today and there were quite a few there by the looks of.

30mm stanchions?

Although not good form, 3 days isn’t ages really is it?
Wait til end of weekend then contact Ebay if not paid.

Looks good there wildc4rd, wondering why you didn’t use ply on the floor rather then the SB in the pics?

I remember your build thread footflaps, a few years ago now I guess….

OP, if the lbs say the forks can be saved with a servive and you need some money to get that done post up on here and along with weeksy I can put in a tenner.

Had a Hexus 2 for ages, the chain tool is as good as a workshop one.

OP, sorry to hear about everything.
Do you need any parts to get the old Cube up and running so you can get ‘out’ on the bike?

OP as others have said. I’d also say leave it as there will surely be others to add to the collection if they have only started driving but if you have to sort it out then a breakers for another one.

I have a Hope 20mm kit if anyone is looking.

Do it yourself £164 for both parts – Finantial + Health & Welfare.
We’re unfortunately having to go down the Court of Protection route for a family member, going to cost circa £2.5-3K for Solicitor + Court Application fees, nigh on £400, plus this plus that…

Somewhere with cracking singletrack.

Thought about getting a Use shim….. Just saying like 🙄😉

Footflaps – that’s bought a tear to my eye….our boy was same colouring and used to do the same when he was with us.

OP – hope you get it sorted!

What did you use to remove the cups?
I’ve always used copaslip and never had any issues removing the cups, with the proper tool!

I enjoyed this years race. 9/10

Spokeshirts are now https://spokeandsolace.com/

Terrible new name, but still lovely t shirts.

Cheers, didn’t know they had restarted. Not as many mtb designs as before but couple that I like.

Sorry to hear OP. it’s horrible when you lose a pet.
Thoughts are with you.

Lovely house 👍
It was was a few years ago but some friends of ours had a quirky small medieval town house which wasn’t getting much interest.
They put an add with couple of nice pics in the Sunday Times mag. Sold very soon after.

Bit of an update….

So, fitted new airshaft taking care of not over greasing near the transfer port, new seals & foam rings, 5ml oil in each leg, tighten footnuts to 7nm
End result = no change, pump and it only goes to 60ish psi after a lot of pumps ie, a lot more pumps than it normally would be.
Wondered if air mught be leaking out of top air cap so swapped ut for another I had and no difference.

I’m now wondering if this might be something to do with the damper shaft? When I refitted the air shaft first time round I did push both the air shaft and damper shaft in a few times before fitting the lowers. Am I clutching at straws here….

Like I said at the start the forks worked perfectly before I touched them….

With Aviva at the mo, will check some others mentioned here to compare at renewal.

Following this….

Yes we hate it.
Will try that ffej….
Well, it’s a bit better but bookmarks are all over the place.
Prefer the previous version ……

Not just you OP I haven’t either, just that 10% voucher nonsense.

Yellow 3M ones work for me.

Following this one!

Warranty job if only 2 months old?

Lol. I got the wrong end of the stick then :-)

So removed the airspring, where am I looking for the air transfer port?

Thanks

Cheers guys, will have a look in a couple of days.

I’ve got the park one and it’s great to use much better than my old Cyclus press, but, not for angle sets…they twist, can’t be helped. So I use the gentle hammer and wooden block method for those.

Only had time to have a quick look at these today.
Removed the LH footnut and released the pressure from the valve, replaced and put around 60psi in and pumped the fork a few times and there was around 105mm of stanchion showing.
Pumped to around 100psi, around 115mm stanchion showing, forks seemed to be moving ok.
Removed the pump and the psi dropped to 50-60 and now not increasing when pumping….

Think I’m going to take the lowers off again and check things over.
Just need to know where the transfer port is so I can check for grease, any pointers please?
Ta

Scienceofficer – Thanks, very helpful.

Davesport – I can’t remember the total amount of stanchion showing, just know I measured around 105mm Travel. The forks were working somoothly just short on travel so I assumed it had a shorter airshaft fitted so ordered the 120mm one and as I said they looked to have been well looked after.
It’s my first time working on forks so it’s something I have done I’m sure.

martinhutch – Thanks, didn’t realise there was another valve there I’ll have a try with that and check the link out cheers.

I used barn paint on my shed, trying to remember the make…….it was pricey but has lasted a few years. Probably needs doing again.
Not sure what clours they have, I’ll have a butchers.

EDIT

Barn Paint

shows what colours are available too.

Anyone else have the handle snap on their park chain cleaner?
It snapped years ago and I did bugger all about it, re warranty as I couldn’t find the receipt.
It is a good chain cleaner for sure though and their chain cleaning fluid is the best I’ve used but very expensive so when that ran out I just used normal degreaser.

Can sell you a small bottle if you’re stuck.
Msg me if you need it.

Right I’ll have a butchers cheers st.

Part of me also wants to get the proper tools to add to the collection of tools that hardly get used :-)

LOL I was thinking the same!

I mentioned the tools further up in the thread, there are copies on Ebay for £40odd but I do have a start nut setting tool so will have a look at that if I need to removed them cheers
What to use refitting the bearings if not the proper tools?
