My i900 is in Taiwan being inspected with a few others… The tests in the mags… hmmm do you really believe them. I have owned all 3 and had issues now with all of them TBH…

The seals on the Joplin are definately not up to it, My gravity dropper kept getting stuck even though serviced and the I900 sideways movement quite severe developed after probably 5 rides

With glasses have learnt the hard way… as above i just now wear contacts and find good glasses that actually fit my head.

Personally i had optilab ones and thought they were a waste of money. The bridge was not adjustable to fit the nose so they bounced around…..

Thanks for the advice hope they do change them….

Used a Max D and a Hope Vision 4 in last years D2D, settled on the vision 4 as they give a better spread of light and a more mellow light emission. Maxx D is good but light is very white and concentrated. Its probably down to your personal preference.

Yes it is the post mounts for the brakes

Mine was built around that time nothing is square including all the doorways 😯 Was’nt a one off either theres about 200 of them in my road, had a Victorian flat prior and that was precision built compared to this

Sympathise got surrounded by 5 collies off their leads on a bridleway dogs surrounded me and then backed ioff then came back growling. I stopped they encircled me one decided to bite me shoe and then my calf. Woman in charge said my dogs never bite so enraged with her denial that i forgot to pull up my tights and show her the wound. Gave her some verbal and then reported it to the police. Was told that collies do nip but even thats not acceptable. How can anyone control 5 dogs off a lead….

Enough said another event for my old and weary legs 😆

I tossed mine and not a sniff of lemon

Just to add you need to start the physio sooner rather than later i was there within 7 days for my first session and i’m lucky that although many hospital facilities are perhaps not the best our local NHS physio is definately up to scratch… Physio should start prior to the sling coming off .. Good luck

My first one was clean broken into 3 pieces ( no pinning was borderline) but i heal fast was on the road after 2.5 weeks off road riding after 5 but then it took another 3 – 4 months to get rid of any niggling pains…. Take in extra calcium and glucosamine and chrondrotin pills to help it heal.. Everyones different so just listen to your body…
As above your quack should be referring you to physio if he has’nt then ask thats important in the early stage. I have private med insurance but the NHS physio more than sufficed

Persist but keep them slack but not too slack until you get used to disengaging quickly would be my advice.

Have ridden both and the 575 is a far more efficient rear end suspension system the maverick just wallows IMO any way. Nothing wrong with the way a 575 looks 🙂

Football consists of overpaid pre madonnas who have no balls. Get a life and ride your MTB more instead of watching nancy boys both from overseas and here in blighty kicking leather around on a patch of grass.

You cant also get the new 2009 Marta Magnesiums yet either….

The Ones are the dogs balls but very powerful compared to the Oros

This one never fails to deliver – Bizarre Inc

Have used both snake skin versions with Stans, no problem at all…

Mine was £350 fitted Witter i think was the make and comes with a removable bar

My Pure racing I900 adjustable seatpost has only lasted a few months – is that enough 😀

Green with lemon if your making 😉

Try about 3 – 4000 mg of vitamin C per day and make sure you get your zinc in 15mg. The vit C you can take more just has a mild laxative effect on me anyway once you feel better back off the vit c and just get your ususal dose through food and continue every day with the zinc

Yep just serviced as per the manual spotting the deliberate mistakes on the way. 😉

You cant access those parts so i suspect theres been a failure somewhere as when new it would not move from side to side. As i said its hardly been used possibly 10 rides at most. There was no grit or foreign debris in there as far as i could see… I spoke to them about the red collar loosening and they just said add a bit of loctite 🙄 but the side to side movement i cant put up with and will request a swap or refund…

Theres another right on the seafront as you enter Worthing in Sussex

Thanks Silverpigeon would be good to chat further cant see your email address can you drop me a line on damianredman@ntlworld.com. cheers

It was unregulated

Its mainly exchange rates 1 year ago the dollar was $2.10 and in December it nearly dropped below $1.40. Price of fuel has very little effect on buying a product such as a bike. They dont only buy in $ but in that lovely Ä too which has suffered the same fate. Its hard work for companies that buy imported goods at the moment…..

Lapierre Spicy 916 – 32lbs – albeit a few spec changes to the original bike 😉

My full Suss in winter Kit Yeti ASR weighs 24.5lbs – come race time it will be around 22lbs
