    A fork that is setup not to dive into its travel, causing the bike to stop and the rear end to unload as you continue to move forwards and help your shock send you out the front door.

    I find my radiogram sounds best when I have the woodburner going, the humidity and fine particles it generates help to realign errors in the phase coherency of the source recording and makes it very punchy and involving, especially the delicate odd harmonic nuances and ethereal resonances in binaural recordings from some Caen stone cathedrals.

    I am going to vinyl wrap it in glossy white as it will surely be even better.

    By 1912, this seemingly insurmountable problem had been resolved; in cities all around the globe, horses had been replaced and now motorised vehicles are the main source of the problem.

    precisely! 🙂

    most recorded music has a pitiful dynamic range and is normally highly compressed for a variety of reasons.

    transient response is more important than peak power.

    It is an interesting design for sure, but the dumb marketing really puts me off.
    And I hate the “order now” button.. 🙄

    as an aside, before the signal gets anywhere near this device and is so “purely and accurately reproduced” it is manipulated in innumerable ways by all manner and sorts of recording technology. why this may not be much of an issue for electronicly generated sounds it is worth considering the implications for more traditional musical sources.

    if it sounds nice thats fine, but all the hype about “quality” really is just that..
    I have heard hi end equipment that is quite soulless and less enjoyable to listen to than many an old radiogram, I do not really know what that means, its just my experience of listening to music 🙂

    I think its a great way to spend surplus public funds!

    seeing as all the other stuff like hospitals and schools and homelessness etc have all been dealt with, what else could they do with all that money?

    the spacers must be a bit too narrow/thin, they should be a fraction less than the part that runs through the bushing when assembled with the o-rings,

    the o-rings could still compress if the shock is trying to creep to one side for some reason.

    have you tried using the GPS Status app?

    Faster GPS app miight be worth a look as well, you can use it to easily reset your NTP server and region settings if they have gone wonky for some reason.

    Yeah they are tough old bikes, I ended up running mine in the XC setting (for BB clearance) with a -2 deg works headset a pushed dhx5 and a gravity dropper.

    only sold it because Nicolai.

    650 wheels will limit your choice of tyre/size out back 😉
    I would go with a coil for anyone over 90kg.

    If it happened quite suddenly I would try and think of a possible trigger, if something has happened or changed recently.

    I had patches everywhere getting worse, nothing worked,in the end developed a more relaxed attitute to my job,changing my diet slightly and better sleeping habbits worked for me and also felt a lot better.

    is the spring is spinning before it tightens up.

    you could try using a cordless drill or impact driver with a clutch on a low setting.

    I think some of this is about

    John Mann, a Labour MP for Bassetlaw, has urged Home Secretary Theresa May to address state secrecy shrouding these allegations.

    Mann believes the Official Secrets Act is obstructing ex-Special Branch police officials from stepping forward with vital information

    it is hardly news that corruption is widespread in the political system and it is pretty much useless in representing the publics interests in general e.g

    try and keep your weight on your feet and head up, use your body to turn the bike more than trying to steer it. But every corner/rider is different, keep practicing a section till you find a good way down it.

    tyres may help? and speed will pick up with practice 🙂

    also be ready to jump off and grab a tree!

    I think many people run the front too soft and the back too hard. yes this will mess up the geo.

    your spring provides support and sets the sag, in the case of pikes it is an air spring so it will ramp up as the fork compresses, the volume reduces and the pressure rises.
    all air springs have this behavior and all you can do with tokens is adjusts how fast this ramp up takes place.

    softer(lower rate spring) is not really better to keep your suspension tracking over bumps, and harder (higher rate) is not better to stop pedal bob or reduce rider induced changes.though it may seem to help it is wrong.

    it is the job of the damper to provide controll to the movement of the suspension both in high and low speed events and the job of the spring to provide the correct level of support for the rider and bike, not to stopp dive or absorb energy from the trail.

    of course there is plenty of rider preference and trail conditions to consider plus I have hugely simplified all of this and may be completely wrong 🙂

    ps coil is best /troll

    very unfair to accept an offer then pull out of the deal.

    this kind of seller is an ass, make a higher offer and then pull out when the other buyer has buggered off 😉

    leave the seller to consider..

    was the offer through the same estate agent, if not then they stand to loose commision too, they might be helpful in that case?

    you can probably hire a car for less than a scooter if its an option.

    http://www.fireflycarrental.com have an office in Alicante, you need to have a CC for a deposit or they ask you to pay fully comp insurance on a debit card.

    @B A Nana ther is loads of great riding there if you go inland a bit.

    bike park about 45 minutes away
    http://www.lafenasosa.com/ you can hire a battered Kona DH for about 50eur day

    and the sierra mariola is very nice

    on the coast you have some nice trails inbetween benidorm and albir in the Sierra Helada.

    i think there is about 0.4 mm difference in the spacing of a 9 and 10 sp cassette
    so the shift will still be good,

    the shifting ramps may not line up but I have found it makes only a small difference usually.

    the blue XC trail is pretty weatherproof
    the red gets a bit gloopy here and there ut drains well as do the DH tracks

    +1 for Cwmcarn, the Cafall is more interesting than the Twrch IMO, but some bits can be kinda slippery when wet

    a 30t chainring will require a bit of faffing otherwise the chain will probably hit the arms on the crank.

    most commercial ones get around this by spacing it off the crank tabs and having threaded holes. the would typiclly have a 48mm chainline instead of a 50/52.
    this means your chainguide has to move a wee bit to avoid rubbing.

    you might be able to just file a bit off the corner of the tabs on the crank with luck

    out the back if you are feeling in a fettling mood you can use one of these range
    extender adaptors with an old chainring 😉

    an 8 speed wide range system would be lighter and more suited to most peoples riding I think,

    Personally have no use for 11 gears that are really close together on stuff I like to ride.
