    I paid when my bike was ready to dispatch about 5-6 weeks after I ordered it, they will check your card but the funds don’t have to be there yet just when it comes to the time they charge you.

    I’ve battered my ribs three times this year, probably not cracked but the doctor told me the first time, just gotta put up with it for 3-4 weeks. May be worth going the doc so they can give you Codeine though.

    Have fun putting socks on! 😆

    1×10 (32 & 11-36) on my hardtail, but I think I’ll stick with 2×10 for the time being on my 29er fs, so not totally dead. Different tools for different jobs.

    Climbing in North Wales for the first time on a 1×10 yesterday nearly killed me, however it’s character building. 😀

    Chainring wise, if you do it – grab a Race Face Narrow/Wide, I’ve recently gone 1×10 and the thing is bloody fantastic, no danger it’s ever going to drop the chain. 😀

    Ordered something early on Wednesday morning, didn’t get dispatched until 9PM that night, and my tracking number is buggered too – rubbish!

    Have they jacked in the CRC money? Used to almost always get a voucher now I’ve not had one on my last 3-4 orders!

    +1 for the Hope Hub, I think people actually ignore bells.

    Whilst there’s no denying the benefit for those with genuine health issues/injuries that prevent them enjoying cycling, I cant but think this is going to be the MTB equivalent of a fat lazy bastard with otherwise perfectly functioning legs razzing around town on a mobility scooter…

    Removed a 10 speed one on the trailside this morning doing an emergency botch/repair when my rear mech was murdered with a pair of chunky pliers, just need a bit of patience!

    Bloody hell, I’ve just bookmarked that, looks like fantastic value doing the 2 weeks, now, wonder if I can get something last minute in August given funds and time… 😀

    Saw the Prince Albert, looked pretty decent, but the fact I own 100mm forks put me off it, but then – I do know sod all haha

    Wish I had 120mm Rebas, or indeed a previous year’s Rebas – I believe you could simply use spacers in years gone by to increase the travel to 120mm?

    To double check at the risk of sounding a retard, I’m right to think my 44mm Hope Integral headset is suitable for the Decade?

    Cheers for the replies so far guys 🙂

    Hit Cannock Chase early Saturday morning, absolutely beauty of a day, can’t believe it was January, nice and dry in most places I found too!

    I was riding a cabbaged SLX that had play for weeks now, had to keep tightening it only for it to loosen up within a few miles, however I didn’t die, and I’m a heavy guy. So I think you’ll live!

    Ditched it for a Hope hub today though. 😀

    Yeah had to force it thru the window, bet there was some damage to the bike, the scummer clearly didn’t know how to undo the Maxxle too hence him faffing and chucking the bike around like a moron for ages.

    Scummy bike thieves, so glad mines tucked away deep inside my house.

    Giro Feature, Crank Brothers multi tool, 36 piece tool kit? I’m chuffed.

    Oh and last week I did treat myself to an Altura Mayhem, Park Tools PCS09 work stand, Nukeproof knee pads and a Conti BC Baron… So yeah, Merry Christmas. 😀

    Time for that pre-turkey ride I think!

    CRC, Wiggle, OnOne?

    (Always found CRC to be rapid in my experience!)

    Giant Yukon Trail 2007, sprayed a different colour, and the drivetrain replaced with SLX/XT just still with garbage forks, you’ll never see another one like this, then again I’ve never ever come across another stock Yukon Trail in the past 2 years!

    MJ-872 at the moment, been going strong for a year, but looking into a second light, perhaps for the helmet and put the MJ-872 on the bars as it’s more of a flood rather than a beam.

    I’ve got the AM41 flats like some others, had them since December, some wear on the soles with little chunks of the grip worn away but still holding out well considering the abuse they’ve taken.

    Giant Yukon, recently re-sprayed. Excuse the shit Suntour forks… They need replacing. Oh and those gash tires are finally gone, BC Rubber Queens, finally! 😀

    Anyway, green is the best colour to go for. 8)

    Was going to give that a shot next time if there’s no private hires, may ring a few up before the weekend.At least coming back doesn’t require a lift, quite fun actually! 😀
