stumbling block…

the lower cup wont fit fully into the frame as headtube isn’t reamed deep enough! doh!

anyone know anywhere in south wales that can ream a headtube?

Why not just swap the lowers of the forks?

because the forks I currently have are f series 32’s
and the new forks are float 32’s 150mm (to be lowered to 140mm)
granted the lowers are identical but the bushing placement is different.
plus the floats have the fit damper

well i’ve bit the bullet and the bike is at the lbs having a canecreek lower cup installed so I can run tapered float 32’s.

superstar? they have great engagement on the freehub and the front is interchangeable

depends on use really. You know when they are on their way out when they leak fluid. its quiet an easy job to change them.

yes and yes

Bling?

ask this guy to encrust the calipers and lever with ruby’s
use unicorn blood for the hydro fluid

not in the slightest.

ah but wait!

this is the the bike!

I’ve owned 3 turner’s

1999 Turner Javelin that I rode until 2007 no less than 4 seasons in the alps
This was replaced with a square tubed dhr after the headtube started to display signs of stress.
This as alot of the square tubed dhr’s did cracked though the welds. on the shock mount between the top and down tubes.
This was replaced with a round tube DHR.
All questions and queries were made direct to Greg at Turner I tired to order parts from what was then Roundell mtb who were totally useless and I as well as many told Greg this. Who has since changed UK distributors.

to sum up

Amazing bikes
Amazing backup

Paceman Ring mojo and ask them if its ok to use on forks?

fork juice by juice lubes? egghhh! mojo will tell you to never use that stuff the damage it causes to forks is unreal!

Buttscratcher

Is it the fact that they are bling shiney looking that you look after the fork more?

s j no they arn’t kashima they came of 150mm float 32’s

on a similar note….

I have a set of 1.5 taper fox 32’s that I want to run on a non taper frame.. hint hint fancy a swap of csu’s?

cheers chaps. I’m not really worried about the extra travel more so the tapered sorta bodge that’ll be performed.

GlitterGary will it be a horrible flaming death? or just a slow painful one?

ah thats another point I’d kinda like to have 140mm of travel just to slacken out the bike a bit. or will this kill the feel of the bike?

He was asking if the laptop was HD.

I thought Hd was only relating to the resolution of televisions etc not everyday objects.

If from a distance the laptop looks great but closeup all its details are lost then your laptop is not HD.

Mainly because the red/yellow logo clashes with the rest of the kit.

get a black marker pen….

anyway

Funn fatboys
answer pro tapers
burgtec
sunline
nukeproof
all good dependable bars that give gnar factor = rad to the max to the power of 700mm+

a bad workman blames his tools….

for good tool look at park, pedros, rs components etc etc etc.

invest in decent allen keys and be less ham fisted

oil seals can be gotten from brammer etc for £2.53ish each. the wiper dust seals hardly ever need replacing. use a socket and gently tap them into place.
I have a bag of about 12 or new 32mm seals that fit pikes or 1999 – 2009ish Boxxer’s if you’re interested in a few?

there is no “fox themsevles” in the UK. Mojo is the importer for Fox here in the UK so I guess they’d be sent to Mojo(fox uk)

job done

what I failed to mention is that the iscg adaptor is on the backplate in such a way. once the 2 2.5mm spacers are on there the bb cup is 1/2 pertuding out of lg1 backplate. so everything is nice and snug with a nice chainline

this is my setup.

68mm bb no spacers on non driveside
driveside lg1 iscg adaptor – 2 2.5mm spacers – bb
32t chainring on the inside of the tabs

I’m running xt’s with a lg1 needed no filing and fits perfect

forks are under warrenty ring mojo

good call Marko

I recently sold a van on ebay. there were 50ish watchers. I was reciving 2-3 emails a day asking how much i’d be willing to let it go for. I named my price and got no response. the auction ended and the van reached a couple of hundred more than I was expecting

I’ve seen this happen on the cwmcarn uplift. the driver of the van lets guys use the uplift even though he has no helmet

people who wear full facers and sun glasses.
knee and shin guards strapped to the massive camelback so the ride can gnar up on the energy section of whites.

most of the pine woods in south wales were planted around the same time and these tree’s have come to maturity around the same time. massive swaves of forest are being cut.
