Look at the onkyo systems from richer sounds no blu ray but you get good quality sound. very impressed with mine

+1 on tyres and saddle not to my taste

but very tasty indeed

Very nice. how does it ride ?

I had an orange crush that has 140 mm hated it and quickly sold it. rode my mates soverign and loved it. some ride with longer forks better than others

Grips not bad at all. i wouldn’t say they are brilliant in the grip department though. i will be replacing soon as I’ve ripped 2 pins out of the pedal which has taken parts of the pedal with them. I’ve had them for 7 months btw

Weston cheddar valley looks like lucosade but blows yo
ur head off

Local so clent hills for me

Btw there still gripper than the nobbly nics i had previously in the wet for comparrison like

Been really good so far . don’t run them to hard or they will be crap, they are just ok in the wet though and they do clog up when its really muddy. Outstanding grip in the dry

Cube trail fx 8
Charge spoon 4 i hated this saddle far to hard for

Thanks frogstomp :)

Cube stereo , excellent bike for the cash

Perhaps i can steal your thread idave ….

I live alone I’ve had a water bill for 166 quid. that’s for 6 months considering i have a shower only . 1 sink in bathroom 1 in kitchen and i don’t have a washing machine either. the meter serial number is one outside that moves around even when im not in…

I’ve found the water meter next to my loo . the water company say get in touch with letting compan
y to see how previous tenants pay for there water and they said direct . but the water meter has been installed by the landlord and has nothing to do with them.

Any ideas ? I’ve just opened a final demand from them aswell. ive emailed the bill to the lettings agents as requested and I’ve heard nothing back

I want one :) sweet bike. sorry for thread highjack but would these frames be ok for a 150mm revelation fork ?

sometimes when I click on a link my phone attempts to download a file.. doesn’t happen all the time though, Im on android BTW

yes the xtr one looks good but as b.a.nina says it looks different both ends , and no one can confirm it will fit so its rather.tricky to know.

it seems info for these types of systems are hard to come by, I really don’t want the original one with the issues I’ve had , I can still use the one I’ve got but my trust in it has gone

ill think ill go for that.

broken axle is now secured with red loctite, its a bit worrying you can break the factory seal and be stuck some where with a puncture…

cheers for your link bud , you are most helpful appreciate it

red loctite did the trick :)

now looking at a replacement rear axle , ive noticed xtr do one but the screw in side looks different, confused, anyone confirm ?

ljs1977 yes that,will be the next step I think, but a post above mentions it effects the toe and camber set up at the factory Is this correct ?

‘So, am I right in thinking, the QR handle is unscrewing from the shaft of the axle, leaving the axle still screwed into the frame?’

yes thats right, on your picture where the flared part goes into the axle that part unscrews!!! its actually 2 parts, the thread on this looks like it was only secured with some sort of compound. Turn anti clockwise and the whole quick release and flared section unscrews from the axle, leaving that part in the frame, not a very good design in my eyes.

‘The only thing I can see, the red button^ takes a 5mm allan key, maybe try sticking a 5mm allan key in and turning it. I’ve tried it on mine and the red button thing is solid, if yours can be turned with the allan key, then I guess it needs tighening, the whole axle might unscrew from the frame then. ‘

Word of warning DO NOT attempt to tighten the red button, it may have an allen key head but its a fixed piece of metal and will snap. Mine just snapped when adjusting the quick release in the correct position, but if you turn it with an allen key it will just snap.

I cant even use molgrips to get it out as the whole quick release assembly has unscrewed from the axle.

What ive tried to do is put loctite on the thread of the quick release assembly and screwed this part back into the axle that is stuck and im just waiting for it to set, so will report back later.

Cheers for your help lads

no x12 users on here then ?

its an x12 BTW not maxle

it was brand new , this years cube stereo team, it has a cam device with quick release this screws into an aluminum tube, which constantly unscrews itself from so the aluminum tube is still stuck in the frame, grrrr
