    Davy in that case if its a frame only
    you use Electrician rods.
    The rods have different attachments on the ends.
    You will need the Eye on One rode and the Hook to
    pull it out the other end.

    Or use a old metal coat hanger with a slight arch in it
    so it will pop out the other end.

    Will take 15 mins Max start to finish.

    Quick tip on changing gear cables on the swing arm in 10 mins.

    1 Unclip the brake cable from the Gear shifter lever.
    2 Leaving the Old Black Outer sleave in place.
    pull out the Old gear wire.
    3 Now thread New Gear Wire through the old outer Black sleave
    and connect to Gear shifter lever.
    4 Take off the Old Black Outer sleave
    5 Now cut the new Black Outer sleave to size,and put a little
    oil into the sleave so cables run smooth.
    6 Now push onto new Gear Cable and pull through into place.
    7 Now final connect your gear wire cable.

    8)See no more zip ties on the swing arm !!!!! 8)

    I have the 5 AM Medium 08 up for sale.

    But I would advise to get the fork upgrade to start
    getting the best out of the bike.

    Regarding the Maxle The 5 frame is very point and shoot
    and very stiff.
    Unless your doing a lot of rock garden or heavy root
    sections then not really
    But if your looking to keep this bike long term, then
    have the upgrade.

    If intrested on my bike in fab condition

    The Nevgals are known to be a rear tyre set with a
    Blue groove up front.
    Depending on terrain if hard packed try a Maxxis Minion Tacky 42a
    on the front.
    Fork setting I just use Sag rather than weight. You could use Fox recomended setting and then go from there
    The stem I have is a sunline 65 mm zero rise The reason for zero rise
    is the 160mm fork up front.
    Washing out on the corners, you should have weight over front of wheel
    and on the DownHills have you got your weight to far back and arms
    fully stretched, then your front will wonder and you wont be or feel
    in control.
    Tyres I am 13 stone and they have 35 psi front and back

    Unless others worked in such work places and enviroments
    then there will be an understanding.

    Maxxis Minions all the way mate.
    If wet you could put a 42a sticky on the front and 60a on the rear.

    But if you like more speed put a front 60a on the rear.

    Would'nt do it Bivvy style being the Mosquitos are bad ass up there.
    Plus guaranteed crap weather like Wales.
    Take a look at the Bike tent, which uses the rear wheel at one end and the
    frame at the other to support the tent.

    My advice here would to buy some tarp to hid the frame so no one can tell
    what bike you have.
    The tent is about the same price has the Bivvy

    I dont use the weight chart. I do it by rubber O ring on fork and
    like it at 35 mm sag on a 160 Talas, easy to keep your eye on.

    Put a rubber O ring on your fork when servicing your Forks
    it wont scratch your stanchions

    LOL quite rightly so
    But for what I had seen they have not dug up a 15 feet drop or cut down 300 mm thick
    tree trunks to make the jumps but do collect from what the rangers cut down.

    LOL been riding there for years and know the history very well
    Just a shame there still going to dig for oil, Gutted about that.

    They have been building there for a while now.
    Some of the jumps look very large indeed.

    Seem to be nice guys when we came across them
    and they was not chopping trees down.

    Theres no Downhillers in Holmbury in Pitch Hill yes
    but only us Hard Core Trail riders in Holmbury mate.

    seems the Ranger was using it has a reason to demolish what
    was not causing a problem.

    Maybe you need to have a chat with the Rangers about the Barbed

    To test the seal you can buy these capsules that you light with a match
    and it releases smoke.
    Place this at the bottom and check above and around joints to ensure no smoke
    releases apart from where it needs to go.
    But has you say there are gaps then do not use and get them back ASAP

    Firstly the flue must be attached so and be completly sealed the same has your boiler
    has it works exactly the same.

    Breathing bricks well the idea is there but the way you have been described there function on the
    stack is incorrect.

    regardless of age of the property, has you keep the internal warm if the building cant breath
    then you will produce Damp!

    Thats why when you board up the fire place and dont put in a vent and leave the chimney pot un-sealed
    the air goes down the chimney as normal and just circulates and as no where to go then produces damp.

    What ever you/they do, you must always create a seal and have no carbon monoxide leaks

    If you are attaching your flue to a boiler then it needs to be double lined, internal to release Carbon Monoxide and the outer to bring/breath fresh air.
    Has long as you seal in and around the top of chimney breast and liner and the liner is connected to the cowl
    and connected to the boiler you will be fine and you will not get damp.

    You may also need to re-point the chimney breast in your loft has well
