LOng shot I know, but any one got a spare entry they no longer need?

If you saw Nige ride, you'd understand…

Cheers for that info Geda, looking at the dakota and the 2800..( and bulking at the layout for the software!!)

2 x 4mm allen keys? d'oh, just read Mr Sparkle's post…

Peroni, and attempting to re rim a kippered wheel.

Close up of the rim …

Cleaned the rim up and looking at some of the spoke holes there are fracture lines around 7 or 8 of them. (Not the best images with my point and click camera )

Just riding down a road hill, loud bang and the feeling of a flat… wasn't untilI stopped I realised the rim had blown off.

jey lite or power mincing..

Cheers tragic,
set up an account on Voda's 360 network and used that info for the SMTP settings..

happy bunny now.

so whats the gen with topo maps? OS maps are self explanitary..

Please, I'm blushing!! :oops:

Glad you had a good ride out Bushwacked, like I said though in the pub, bearly did a 1/4 of the good stuff..
Give us a shout when you want a return visit.

Will blow goats for cash…

yep, you too.

There are old mountain bikers and there are bold mountain bikers, but there are no old, bold mountain bikers.

bag o shite…. :D

Bushwhacked, if it's next Monday (29th as per your mail) I'm off that day so would be able to guide you round.

Or you could try parking in Norway. Dispite having a **** valid ticket for a hotel car park when I was staying in the hotel I got a £97 ticket…

I contested, got told tough shite, pay up….makes my piss boil… and relax…

Go on then OP, which shop did it? I don't think it would have been Redditch shot blasters as they applied a silver foil tape over the BB and headtube on my last frame which you just cut off.

nights right now until 7AM, then my 4 days off beckon..

Don't think of it as being a year older TJ, instead just another nail in the coffin lid.

Or if you have a very good defence lawyer or deep well to dispose of what's left…

There are paint ball versions of this, but I can't get onto the sites from work.

I had the same problem on my trek ex8, the drive side cup would come loose in the frame when riding. ( XT B/B set up tight etc.) This led to the threads in the frame becoming knacked too. I tried Lociting the BB in place, but the threads were just too worn adfter a while , even with new XT BB's placed in there.

Trek warranted the frame for me via my LBS, (gawd bless them!) and after I got the new frame, I started running a saint BB just to be on the safe side. AS with the XT BB, when you're running with 2 lots of BB spacers, thats about an extra 5 mm thread you're missing out on. Saint cups are a lot longer.

Yeap, will be a riding 40th.

Cheers for the link PTR. Anyone else with any other suggestions?

I don't think that you can register ' core jeylite power mincing' as its more a style than a product.

Cheers for the offer Ben. The mud last night was thick liquid ( like pedlling through syrup) but as soon as it touched the frame/ gears it just froze solid. We had 3 stops to try and chip the mud off and get a useable gear.

Must admit, after last night's night ride in some of the worst conditions I have ever encountered in the Wyre, I am seriously considering an Alfine. Even popped into the LBS to try a Genisis IO out. When are they going to be releasing the 11 speed one then?
D'oh! reread 1st page.. sept 2010…..

You're using the wrong lube mate!

Yep, my frame snapped on the disc mount ( very early 08 model) in early Jan 08, but trek were very good, and new swing arm with in 48 hours fitted by LBS.

P>S My reputation is entirely unfounded, just a big soft gentle puppy.

No, new chain and cassete on the inbred yesterday, followed by the clent dayride, back home for a wash down and a new middle ring. Good to go tonight with no faff..

Got one too, very good all rounder. If you ever turn up to one of the clent duffer rides, I might even let you have a go. :D

Maintain your bikes and buy good components.

A good few miles this winter – maybe a thousand? maybe more? A set of brake pads at the puffer – thats it for replacements.

Oh course, silly me, I'm just buying spares for the hell of it. Deore cassettes, deore steel middle chainrings, sram p970 chains. Utter shite the lot of it.

TJ Ive also ridden the pffer solo a few times, and as i know you're a 'sweaty sock' I'll assume your local riding would possibley be in similar soil conditions. Good for you only needing such limited replacements, hwoever as it has been pointed out , not all mud is created equal.

3 bikes, made of brie it would seem. And Lowey, I wouldn't mind if all my riding was as photogenic as your pics, instead of the somme like conditions I seem to attract.

Nige, are those the ones you were meant to be flogging to me?

(Anyway, seeing as you're avoiding me like the plague.) I've also ordered a pr of the MT500 baggies which are meant to be waterproof.
You free wed daytime?

Yo Smudge, what time were you thinking of for over Clent? Just need to get it on the family wall planner otherwise the missus will think I'm free for DIY/ shopping or other pointless tasks.

I'm free that day Smudge, should be able to give you a guided ride. There's enough for 3 hours or so. Clent/ Walton, Hagley monuement side..

I find staying in and burning a stack of 5 or 10 pounds is almost the same as riding at the mo… pads, cassettes, bearings, chains…….

Arse, the link was done wrong…

Try again…Speeds cycles.

Try my LBS, speeds cycles
they havea 19.5 inch bike in stock. However, the bike is a bike only option, they don't do the ali as a frame only option, just the carbon 9.9sl as frame only.

Hope this helps…
