leave your coat where it is. that was quality : )

thanks everyone

aye, but the hole on the threaded side is bigger than the other side, so to get a snug fit for the split pin i’d want to drill both to the same size?
no?

although having done a bit more image searching, it seems the pad axle should’ve had a snap ring on the other side, which it didn’t. might be enough with w bit of loctite to keep things snug.

anyway i’ll try a split pin. thanks all

oh yeh? didn’t know that
got some probly the right size too come to think of it. need to drill both holes out tho

my in-laws are from there. i go up to Les nonieres 25 above (not vertically) quite often. well nice. not done enought rides around there but have done a cirque d’archaine loop. couple of brown trouser moments. well good

danny hart? ‘ecstatic’ ?
haha
: )

so you rn the hemlock at 120 160 northwind?
beast

hmm, 800 quid is a bit more than under 200, but thanks anyway!

so what year(s) are the 100mm trance frames from?

they’re making FS prince alberts now? :D

not quite new frame sized is my budget. also not for right now, need to sell some stuff first..
am hoping it will be under £200

thanks all, not worried about whether it’ll work. fairly sure of that.
more looking for frame reccomendations for that combo.

well aye, that’s part of the reason i want ot try it

asve to keep remembering to take it off before climbing, bike rides, DIY…
is that wedding rings in general or Ti ones?
i have a very good pair of hands to work them and he also has a milling machine

is brant brant brant back from china yet then?
do you need a reminder? any luck?
: )

aye ahwhiles/sunday jumper. i figured that out

could you brant? that would be well smart! ideally a bit that tapers around 18mm internal diameter
give you a shout in a week or so can i?
or give you a reminder somehow while you’re there? : )

i’m looking a short length of say seat stay, to cut slices of to make a couple of wedding rings.
be nice if it was formerly a bit of bike.

what does that mean then brant? once they’ve done something to it it becomes less valuable as material?

no idea. presumably that’s for pure, whatever that means

hmm 11£/kg for ingot apparently

just to update this, i sent my 2013 sektors back to bike24, definately a creaking csu, and they sent them off to sram, who replaced csu, no questions asked. it did take about a month in all.
was hoping for a new set of forks but hey, never mind. that little scratch on the stantions’ll be gone anyways : )

yup, but i heard it as a visiting chief buying wives, ‘why’s that one more expensive?’ etc.

thanks cougar.

someone roll out the native american trigonometry joke for me ey?

one’s a horst link and the other something else with a solid back triagle, vpp maybe. but yes frame detailing looks similar. anyways, not disputing what happened to them. and by the by, vitus escarpe VR looks quite good to me, without paying too much attention to paint job…

and yep northwind and boywonder, a hemlock and blur 4x would both be on my list if i had a reason to replace my pitch frame.
you done with the hemlock then northwind?
what did you replace the 4x with daveyboy?

righto, my mistake. but 10 or 20mm difference is not as interesting to me as the 100/140mm they were planning.

sure there must be some proto types floating about somewhere.

not quite the same thing tho, as ragleys were designed with miss-matched travel. that’s what appealed to me.
commencal did that meta hip-hop last year with miss-matched travel, but that seems to have got the axe this year, so maybe not enough interest, despite some of us liking the idea?

i achly emailed hotlines at some point asking what happened to the ragleys, and got this reply:

Thanks for your enquiry. Unfortunately the guys at Ragley have decided to focus their attentions on producing the best possible hardtail frames and have put the full suss project on hold for the indefinite future.

i.e. forget it.

did the shelving not coincide with the timing of that fella brant richards going back to one-on?

i was thinking of trying some loctite, maybe green(?) around the steerer, assuming it would seep in. someone above tried it. anyone else?

Anyone had this on other forks? Got some not very old sektors which seem to be doing the same creak. How long a warranty might I expect and otherwise is it just a send them off to loco etc job?

thanks all. i’ll email you potdog.
july would be fine. won’t get my hand on the other bitstill then anyways

thanks again. piatelle looks great hoff

one last bump, any for lake como?

win

thanks all. aye, gonna be busy, hot etc, but not as bad as the motorway
think a cabin on a campsite looks a good option

any more?

aye, that’s what i’ve told him

thanks all. i’ve recommended it to him.
any feedback on sizing? are the guidelines fairly good?
not sure how tall he is.

what do you mean hora?

those socks are great tho, for wearing that is.

is it better not to be using cotton for you viscose though?
massively water intensive. dissapearance of that inland sea in uzbekistan etc etc.

not much encouragement there folks! come on. i want a bit of solace. and to know how long you achly waited
“i waited 2 years for an 853 whatever in size 24″ and eventually i got one, worth the wait…”
etc.

conan, why not buy an uberbike BB? ceramic/stainless. probably be the same price new as the hope 2nd hand. supposed to be very good. can’t vouch for quality but surely worth a punt once for the cheaper price?
