I would recommend borrowing another bike to try first.

You could also try pushing the seat back and putting a longer stem, but it sounds too small. 15 Women’s hardrocks are quite short

My wife is the same height and recently changed from an 04 15″ Rockhopper to a 16″ Men’s Kona Steely. It’s about 3 inches longer and puts here in a much better position. However, it really depends on the relative length of your arm’s, body, legs etc, which is why it’s important to try a few different bikes first.

make a patch from sidewall of an old tyre
super glue to the inside of the tyre

I was obviously googled the wrong thing as this didn’t come up.
Many Thanks

Try this info

What chainset?
Normally 113 for triple for a 50mm chainline

It’ll be fine, just carry a spare tube
And remember if you do ever need the tube, you will have to remove loads of thorns from the inside of a tyre covered in goo before fitting the tube.

Rims are available at £80 – discount

Only problem with SRAM is the jockey wheels
Shimano also make better front mechs

SRAM with XO gripshift, X7 rear mech on hardtail
XT on full suss
Tandem with X7 triggers and 9.0 rear mech
All very good and once set up proper don’t need adjusting.

Think this should still be valid, it’s about 2 weeks old
PR9KYGED6D9A15 £10 off £75

Or does TEN£ work for 10% off over £75 still. It worked last night.

DT Revs are 2mm 1.5mm butted
DT SuperComps are 2mm 1.7/1.8mm butted
Supercomps are about a 1/2 gram heavier a spoke but build a stronger stiffer wheel. not sure about CX X-rays

At 71kg you should be OK with 28 hole, but obviously depends on your riding style. some would argue that 32 hole are stiffer, most wouldn’t notice the difference.
I’m a touch heavier and have a 24 hole crest hoop on the front and a 32 hole crest rear hoop, for everyday riding.

Are all the mounting bolts tight?

Cost + shipping then add
4.7% duty
Then 20% vat
And possible handling charge maybe £20?

Hope pro 3 xc6’s or xc3’s run tubeless with lighter skewers will save about half that weight maybe more depends on your current spokes. if you sell you current wheels you should be able to do this for about £200
But getting these wheels depend how heavy you are and on your riding style.
Pro 2 Evo SP crests are cheaper and stronger but about 150g? heavier.

I have a front pro 3 xc6 crest 24 hole and a rear pro 2 SP crest 32 hole which seemed like a good compromise as I’m harder on rear wheels, especially on the hardtail.

both sides or just one side?
if one side is ok, put that in first, should help align the second side correctly.

Correct BB? it’s not an italian threaded one is it?

It is a Shimano BB
Guess it’s best go for 122.5 and hope gears work OK

Anyone?
If I just get a 122.5 the longest available, will this push the chainline out too far from the front mech and gears to work well?

IIRC import tax @ 4.7% + 20% VAT on total cost including shipping

It’s not free you pay for maps
From a full charge , a 2 – 2 1/2 hour ride will leave me with 60-70% battery
That’s with screen light always on and Wifi off
15 month old iphone 4

For IPhone 4 and viewranger battery problems, turn off wi-fi
and 3G if long trip

No claims discount is protected, but insurance still goes up due to claim doesn’t it?

No excess on third party claims
Only on claims to fix my car which doesn’t need fixing

any good?

tt is inch longer than current frame so should be ok for the Mrs.
Thanks all
Martin

Looking at one for the wife,
Thinking of the team tig sl not the ti
What’s wrong with the geo?
Any idea of tt length on the 15?

Did you try stopping and putting the hole to the bottom so the sealant goes to the hole?

SRAM Mechs
Shift is fantastic but poor jockey wheels

Viewranger is great for navigation
Recent changes to myviewranger website also make programming new routes a 5 minute job
Regular updates bring new features

Turning off wi-fi greatly increases battery life with viewranger and other similar apps

A 2 hour ride will use approx 30% of battery from full charge with screen lit and displaying map the whole time (iPhone 4)

BBB didn’t last for me, had to strip them down after a few rides, one was trashed, the other is ok 4 months later

Easy to check with a multimeter, voltage should go up from 12ish to 14-15ish when you start the engine. Suspect it won’t do this indicating it’s the alternator. Also check all connections are tight.

but I am not an expert so don’t listen to me

you need troutie
search the forum, you’ll find him

Try contacting hope tech support, their customer service is normally very good, they may fix it for a good price

Thanks all,
Need to get the super glue out then and clean the 2oz of gunk from the inside of the tyre.

Yes, did it on an MTB Tandems Fandango cardiff to holyhead over 5 days with the wife
1 set panniers, tried to travel light.
overnight at Brecon, Rhayader, Dolgellau, and Caenaerfon.
Specialized hemisphere armadillo tyres
few problems overheating hope M4 205,185 disc, had to be very careful descending.
Stayed in cheap B&B’s so not too expensive

Baby wipes – Seriously they remove everything.

GT85 is also a good substitute for WD40

4 all usable

Dialled PA
S-works Enduro 04
Fully rigid 90’s Hardrock (childseat + Trailer puller)
MTB Tandems Fandango

Hardrock is not used much now, will go next year, riding with 1 in the child seat and 2 in the trailer is hard work. Not sure if this will work next year as they will be too big.
Tandem would be used, if only someone else looked after all the kids
PA is number 1 bike.

Winstanley are a good price
Front £104
Rear £176
but black hubs white rims

Cheers

My new hoop has arrived, so need to clean, check and take a few photos of the old wheel, I’ll try to do it tonight, if not should be tomorrow.

I should have a black 717 disc on black hope xc for sale later this week when my new crest hoop arrives. Will be after about £50 posted, if your interested email me.
