I askwed this question in my lbs on Wednesday. 2009 EX9.. They spoke to trek uk and the answer is no. both the 2008/09 mag rocker is different to rocker fitted to the 10/11 models with the DCRV shocks. Early rockers have a through bolt for the shock to be attached to,DRCV rockers are designed for the allen key bolts to screw into the shock.

Aslo differences in the frame geometry for mounts etc.

Wody, click on my name and you’ll se my email addy. Drop me a line and I’ll stick you on the clent duffers email list.

Woody, YGM…well you would if there was an email addy in your profile info.

hiya Woody,
can guide you round the forest no probs. Can’t do this wednesday night though as the missus has selflessly booked a girlie night out.

Can to Tues nights, wed days, Thurs and friday day or nights this week. My rep is undeserved though, I only ask that you come with appropriate head wear ( gimp mask) and lyrca or PVC is fine too. I will provide spare bindings.

try here….

In my defence, it didn’t sit too well with the stella , spiced rum and the 9 shots of sambuca before hand..

Couldn’t even manage the 1st episode. Tedious shite imo

And if you need a replacement freehub, http://www.pedalon.co.uk have them for £16, and comes with an 11mm adaptor to fit your 8 mm Allen key.

just to work for me…. And cafe has reopened at the wyre.

Troutie,
Glad to have you do my 2 lamp units.

Graham,
I think you need to recheck your settings on endo, I can’t see any of your routes.

cheeky git! 4 x gpx files now sent..

Also , depends on what phone you use.. HTC desire and I’ve had no problems. Mate’s apple 4 phone didn’t like the autopause function and would rob him of a mile over a 18 mile loop when comparing to his normal bike computer.. Sotware is regularly updated though, o if there is a glitch , tell them and they sort it.

join the STWchallenge for a start..

The standard app ( free one) is good enough, but for £2.61, you can get the pro version, which allows you to race against previous routes yuo or friends have done, and a few other things on there too.
I assume you’ve already logged onto the supporting website?

got a 51 mile round trip now sorted, excluding the ride round the forest once I’m there! I sense tired legs tomorrow night!

MTG, looking to do a bromsgrove to wyre ride tomorrow, going via top of droitwich, Ombersley, Hartlebury, Burlish Top to wyre quick loop or 2, then returning via Eymore wood, Upper Arley, Kinver and Clent. Any tips or areas to miss/ must do?

Yep, brought direct with express postage. Took 3 days and no hassles with customs. Post been fine for

3 years. If I remember I paid about170 to 180, as exchange rate was a bit more favourable at the time.

Ecky, as per RD’s comment, HT is fine. FS is also fine.

Don’t know about tomorrow SSS, as doing nights tonight with an off road ride back via Lickeys tomorrow early ( 7AM ish) , but have a whole day pass for Sunday if you fancy going somewhere.

Shamed to admit it Nige, but it looks very nice. ( declaimer, for a clown bike)

Top of the lickeys, monument lane end.

Thought about it, but between night shifts.

I got the satmap, very good piece of kit. Haven’t tried any other of the OS mappng gps’s so can’t comment. I got the Satmap at last years mayhem, so got the bike package with a free 1:50K whole of GB chip (£200 by itself) which swung it for me..

Just after the Wast hill tunnel?

So anyone playing here tomorrow?

Doing Clent tonight so was thinking of off road from Bromsgrove to Wyre , few laps round and then home..

Forks being set to gnar +1.

Lol at Phil

I’m currently 9th in the MTQ Spring series with 2385 points after three rounds, having visited 50 CPs in total and scoring an average of 795 points per event.
I scored 375 points on Sunday by visiting 16 of the 27 CPs, valued between 10 and 50 points each, less a deduction of 2 points as a time penalty for arriving back 2 minutes late, for a total of 373 points.
I believe the winner’s score was 440, so as 373 is 84.8% of 440, that means I will have scored 848 league points

thats numberwang!!

Have just gobbed tea all over my monitor!!

up at 03:30 GMT to get to work, bet you I’m working nights when the clocks go back in October too.

Rusty, just back after a night ride. No maps or signposted trails, just local knowledge. I would be up to show you around but working overtime this Friday. Some kind soul might take pity on you and guide you round.

Shit sorry to hear that Dogger, still look on the bright side, that was a good bit of cardiovas training there!!

RD,

see endomondo for the run in, canal from Stoke prior , to targebigge, Alvechurch to Wast Hills tunnel, bit of road, then onto the Lea valley cyle route. then final bit of canal to Smallheath.

Double **** off, working Mon / Tuesday night too.

Free Wed night/ thursday day / night and a possible Sat afternoon this week though.

**** off the lot of you… stuck in work all poxy weekend..

Just tried TFTuned, and no springs in the UK yet. FFS!!

A38 ride in..

3 mile detour to cover 100 yards due to a burst gas mains on the A38 at Longbridge. (miles 7 – 10) did the detour to see blokes walking around with fags lit up so it must have been a real serious one. Either that or the copper directing traffic at 5;30 was a bit pissed off and was flexing his authoratah!!

How do you get the discount codes? Existing cutomers or signing up to the FB page?

XT, XTR or any cassette with an ali spider config. Cheapest places for cassettes at tyhe mo is http://www.rosebikes.co.uk , xt for £38..

working, drinking tea and fixing a 10 gig link, double rock n’ roll.

cartridge all the time for me too.

cartridge on all my off road bikes since ages ago.. Only bike with C+C is the commuter. Front wheel never have any issues with, but the back always works loose, even when adjusted properly, tightened up using 3 foot adaptors on the cone spanners for extra torque and threadlock..Would stay tight for 2 -3 months then the wobble would come back..reservice etc etc.. Then the races get pitted (the hub is not fecked) but runs with an annoying gritty sound. I have 3 spare XT rearwheels in the garage that have come off my commuter in last 6 years. all with pitted bearing surfaces.

Just whacked on a spare cartridge hubbed rear wheel, and no probs in the last 4 months of truely shite weather….
