Dude have a look at point one racing split stem. It’s a beautiful stem that requires a shorter steering tube

Check it out and you’ll not be disappointed

Change the locks

I’m normally listening to music so it’s hands free baby. Not that anyone calls me

It’s a shame we get these (quite legitimate) threads and can understand why they took the route of ommiting bad reviews in their site cos that’s all we do …. Moan

Truth be told they must deal with millions of orders and get some wrong. We’re all human and these threads are becoming a weekly event. Maybe we need to rewrite the balance and list our positive experiences

Ok here goes – I paid £10 for a next day delivery for a new helmet (lid for the street readers) and guess what – it arrived on time and perfect condition

— not taking anything way from the poor service op received. Just trying to inject a sense of perspective

Yes it will. Just apply it to the top and not all the way around the unit as that prevents the movement. It works if applied correctly

Damn tinsy hit that nail on that head. It’s a process of elimination and the main culprit when a new chain has been applied is the cassette. Don’t be a tight arse

I’ve replied before and they don’t reply UNLESS you go along with it. I did once and we got into a conversation. I told them they were living angels with their charity work and so forth. Got bored eventually and told them to do one

lol, one of us is going to get the shit end of the stick here

Out of stock –

@jamesco -I’d say 2 tampons per size 12. Unless l’ve been with some rough women in my time

I’m told tampons work a treat. All I can now think of is that young ones sketch – “it’s a mouse”

Showing my age now

Most people visiting sherwood pines don’t really use the local trails. Only follow the designated red & black routes

Fun to be had if you explore a little – Or take a local (like myself) as a tour guide. Shame the bikes screwed, got myself excited then

update –

Spoke to some head honcho who advised ‘Susan’ is a representative of Apple. Very sorry for the lack of communication. The frustrating thing is iTunes can’t be reached by phone no matter the problem, only Apple

So at least I can’t tossing all night and actually sleep ;). Now just got to wait to iTunes pull their finger out to sort out my original problem

lol You always put a smile on my face wwaswas

Yeah Banks – I’d shit em’

Thanks chaps for reading

I will cancel my card which will cause massive inconvenience but at least I can sleep knowing my £5.67 is safe till payday

I’m almost positive the suspect email is from Apple. I gave my details expecting the problem to be sorted within 48 hours of them knowing – it’s now 8 days. Thanksgiving is only on the 4th. Not from the 27th

I will call (again) them as emails are being ignored but they ignored that call so my guess is they will ignore the others. The individual speaking has nothing but empathy. Getting a direct line is a good shout. Apple in the past have been noting but competent and that’s why i’m worried about the suspect email

I feel what i’m experiencing at the moment is nothing less than the worst customer service I’ve experienced in as many years as I care to remember. Can you imagine contacting a bank over possible fraud at their end and they ignore for 8 days and counting – Then again I shouldn’t use banks as a moral compass should I? They are worse than the Nazi’s and I work in banking (HR so i’m not guilty m’lord)

Riding flats gives you the skills spd make you think you have.

Agree with this comment and as a result shit scared about going back to flats after so long on candys

Pump it as tight as you dare and listen for air or bubbling (of stand fluid) … it’s never failed for me even locating the smallest hole/valve problem

Dear god 30 odd posts and no mention of Nicholas Cage!

Paypal will refund all and chase this mofo down with the standard debt collecters as ‘amount owing’.

Harsh lesson but like my granddad used to say ‘anything that looks to good to be true is usually a scam” ….

Keep hounding them if you meet some resistance but i’m almost positive you will be rembursed

I agree with Pook! Never used them but that’s the service you need when one is up to his neck in woe!

Back it up

I’m sorry man. Only ever felt that sick stomach twice before in my adult life, both times a bike stolen

Mr woppit, that’s a sign you should ditch social networking, Facebook, bebo, friends reunited and all that nonsense.

It will all end in tears (or divorce)

A good mechanic. A ‘reasonably’ priced stock list and most of all a bit of rapport.

Spent serious cash over about 8 lbs and the only two I’ve found any real rapport/bike mechanics would be sherwood cycles and bunnies bikes …. The rest have something missing 

Thanks for the responses guys – good stuff

Ok here goes . Fox RL 2010 f-series so they should be compatible with 180 mm rotors
Mount is the correct way around. It’s the bottom of the fork thats visibly vibrating. Like it’s gripping hard, then judders then fades.

Sanded the pad to remove any glaze, sanded rotors to give it something to grip onto (done this for years with no ill effects)

Headset tight, bolt from fork to adapter tight and brake to adapter tight

Is it a toothed rotor – it may be clipping the claiper.

Laid the rotor flat and is good, flat as any other rotor (this rotor is second hand btw) – what’s a toothed rotor Mike?

Put the old disk on.
Problem solved.

– yup, your bang on and it may have to be put back on

Kayak – that’s what i thought, too clean. Gripping sooo tight the fork wobbles? but that can’t be right can it?

goodgugu – it’s almost flat but not totally flat, i think it’s more than acceptable but maybe i’m missing something?

globalti – Member
If none of that works you might just have to accept that you’ve accidentally engineered into your brake a problem that people have been trying to engineer out for years. A bigger rotor will be exerting a bigger twisting moment on the caliper, the mounts and the fork, changing all the forces in the setup.

Fork judder can be caused by so many things but my best guess is lack of rigidity in a vital component. The brake works and everything clamps up then something distorts and lets the brake off a little. The brake jumps then everything moves back to its original efficient position, grabs and distorts again, and so on setting up a cycle of vibration. lol – never a truer work spoken. That’s exactly what i’ve done and that’s exactly what is happening

Cheezpleez – i hope it’s the adapter cos i’ve added 2 components – an expensive 20 mm larger formula rotor and a cheap pm to pm superstar adapter. it’s gotta be one of those that is now causing the problem that Gobalti beautifully put

coatesy – not sure i understand, it’s deffinatly not overhanging? – when i get my head sorted i will post some pics on flickr – don’t have a head cam otherwise i’d film it but the vibrations are quite shocking

retro83 – Member
my guess is a manufacturing fault with the rotor, either a small thickness variation, or it is out of true vertically.

– again it’s one of the two new components added so yes that would make sense

nwgiles – if the formula adapters went silly money then i would have done the same thing. Everything is formula (even pads) other than the adapter

I had exactly the same problem with judder. New mazocchi forks and headset. I was using “wavy” aftermarket rotors and it made the bike unridable. I swapped it to “round” shimano rotor (using SLX brakes) and problem solved. I didn’t really notice it with the old forks ‘cos they were completely knackered!!

– now you may have something here – my 160 mm rotors are ’round’, the 180 mm is wavy. ahhh, ok we might be getting somewhere now

martinxyz – when i installed the new rotor i swapped the front and back pads round as the back are always near new – i haven’t swapped them back yet but like you say, worth a try

thanks guys – love you all

Some carbon bars/seatpost and lightweight wheelset will shave loads of weight off that.

Is it just me or does it not actually say they are tubeless?

Johnc15, it doesn’t say tubeless as robowns has pointed out. I have a ust racing ralph on the back wheel and the pic from the shop you bought the bike from has no (yellow) tubeless icon

Sorted – unless i’m missing something

Codified – now that sir is a beautiful word!

I know it’s different but I took a girl to the cinema to watch candyman many moons ago. Whilst driving back i said candyman twice in the mirror and she proper freaked out – had to stop the car and she was getting hysterical – not superstition but stupid all the same

Gotta love the female kind, can’t live with em’ … can’t kill em’

^ lol

It doesnt bear thinking about

Really guys? I purposely walk under ladders to prove its just hocus pocus. The looks I get sometimes is breathtaking

On, and welcome to the forum. Some very funny lads on here

Damn right to kick off (in a polite way of course) Tubeless is a selling point, IMO they can’t change them as much as they can’t change the frame despite that disclaimer. Legally I’m sure they can do what they want, as can you when you return it for a full refund so they will bend over backwards to put that diamond white smile back on your face

Do it and come back with the results

Man after my own heart

Lol – been reading these and can’t stop laughin’

Need more pls
