I think the alpine will be too much bike for what I ride although they look awesome. I need a good all rounder, able to be ridden all day but also able to take the odd downhill day and odd jump etc. Maybe the Prince Albert is more suited to me. Just think the head angle may be a bit steep?

If not can always get an Android new phone on a contract.

Dan1980, than site is very useful thanks. A rolling contract would seem like the way to go for the time being!

anyone?

That seems like an idea threading them on the rods, will try next time, so there’s no way of knowing whether they’re OK now? I did read somewhere on the net of a similar question which had a response that stated that the foot nuts wouldn’t tighten if they weren’t in place?? This does seem to relate to what occurred with mine as one of the times I wasn’t sure and the foot nuts wouldn’t tighten, I disassembled and rebuilt and everything was OK. Is this a way of telling?

LoCo thanks for your offer, if this is required I will contact you :-)

bump

They do look nice, what other long forked hardtails have you ridden?

Hmm, people may have misunderstood, my concern is that the damping rods etc have not passed through the hole in the bumper due to the bumper falling down the leg! It certainly didn’t pass correctly through it once but not sure whether its seated correctly now?

I think they may have bent being rubber, they appeared to have moved up the leg when viewed with a torch? Any further help would be appreciated.

Ok, the problem is that once the forks are turned upside down to insert oil the bumpers (not sure on exact name) dont remain in position and flip about :-/

What forks are they?

If anyone else can offer any advice it would be much appreciated.

That is what I mean, in the past I have just dragged and dropped tracks onto my phone with no problems and the format has been compatible with phone, computer and mp3 player etc. I don’t want to restrict myself in future and risk losing or corrupting my music by swapping/converting them etc.

What about buying music through amazon, tune tribe, play etc, are you still able to do this? Are you able to use iTunes with android phones?

do you wind the forks down for general use, how does it climb?

Ok, what about the granny mounts, what do I fit to them?

Do I need an inner plate to fit to the granny mounts? I assume there are different mounts as I don’t have ISCG tabs?

This is something I’ve been considering, what would I need to do it? Curently running double and bash up front.

Ok mate, good luck with the sale.

alexxx – how much for just the frame?

What’s wrong with a bfe?!

Any other all round hardtails I should be considering?

kudos100 – how much you after and whats the general condition?

chvck – have you got a pic??

No BMW or Audi!

Anyone got any suggestions? Hoping to order today.

Anyone got any pics?

I’ve got a dark grey frame with mostly black finishing kit on (black wheels, forks, seatpost, stem, grips etc), tempted to go for silver or orange bars. What do you reckon? Anyone got pics of their bikes with different colour bars?

I currently have Easton EA50 I think, I’m relatively small (5’8″) so may not require a really wide bar. Would I notice an extra inch e.g. 711mm bars or is it not worth the change?

Never heard much about renthal, are they a new company?

Looks like the NP Warheads are a good option. What about the Easton Havoc bars?

That’s concerning, was looking for something durable.

Other options are Sony H70 or a Canon Powershot SX210???

The Panasonic TZ range was on my radar. Due to some of the difficulties with getting shots on certain projects we need the ability to zoom in on screens/editing software etc at a later date.

The camera needs to be smaller than an SLR/Bridge.

Apologies for the possible contradictions, they’re the requirements I’ve been given and am no expert in photography!!

Thanks for the responses.

Nothing to be concerned about within my emails, use of the business email is solely uses for business emails. I agree with them keeping track of what people are doing in the workplace to ensure productivity. Problem is my employers haven’t notified me and seem to think they can do things without following the rules.

Not many pedals in stock though, admit the slimmer pedals could be advantageous, what other options? Gusset slim jim?

mboy feel free to recommend others :-)

northwind, where did you find out they now have six pins?

I think they’re slightly out of my price range!!

Looks like its down to these:

Shimano DX
Superstar Nano (or El Gallo Jeffe)
Azonic 420

Deep breaths!!

I think the gusset ones are made by wellgo who make loads of different pedal designs!
