if you have the screw from the other one, take that to a local nut and bolt place and they be pennys.

i would guess that you need to replace the 3 normal bearings, I would assume the needle roller is for the cassette body.

hoover then paint, you will be brushing for ever 🙂

cheers for that, great clothing sale on at the mo.

right stripped the rear end, cleaned regreased and now no creak 🙂

Cheers

scud i have a joplin, will take it out just to test.

sugdenr interesting I will take a nose later.

SiB if I push on the toptube it will happen, so I dont think its sadle related but I will give it a spray just in case.

flatfish it was fine until I stripped her down thats what I dont understand.

cakefacesmallblock, i did strip that and grease it all.

yer it is a sharp cracking noise, to be honest knowing the history of the lapierre’s i quickly looked for cracks in the frame. I have stripped the bearings and they all seam fine, saying that I only did the X shaped linkage componant not the lower arm, will do that tonight.

i’m currenlty using Silkolene oil in my pikes, I have the stiffer spring installed so i have gone up a weight over standard to help the rebound out.

new to me anyway.

661 storm watcher, i cannot wear mine my hands get to hot.

i’m currenlty runing a 9×3 and shifting from the big ring was an issues, but as said with a little fine tuning it running good now.

Does not explain why my chain link arrived in the said box inside a jiffy bag!

ebay do act on it and they take it very serious. I have been done, dont think bad of me, I only bid my item to a price I happy with (on day one) and i never increase it after that, i see it as putting a reserve on the item without paying the reserve fee.

If ebay was a little cheaper or even free to list then these sort of things would not happen imho, i dont see why they charge you to put a reserve, at the end of the day they only win by taking a larger cut if the item sells.

-4 in the car this morning, light sprinkle of snow last night, roads are clear.

wickes general glue, used it for the past 10 year on motocross bikes without issue, it seems to be identical to renthal grip glue to me.

i have one of the same as mine for sale mate 🙂

i can give you update about 8:30 tomorrow if thats any good?

a drop of fork oil on the shaft, bounce it a few times then wipe away the excess, i have mine covered in a wet suit type material.

all ways the same name, number and location, pluss two bike pics are taken in a shop, maybe it a shop shifting trade-ins on gumtree (its free).

i have always found disco brakes really good for pads and disc’s remember to replace both the disc and pads.

is it on finance?

no snow, round here at the mo, froze hard last night but looks to be thawing now, the trails will be fairly muddy I would guess.

any forks can in theory be reduced in travel, you just need the correct size spacer installing within the fork and maybe a revalve to compensate the difference (not sure on that fork about the revalve).

i guess thats an advert for the wheel set?

register you debit card with quidco also gets you cash back from halfords purchases.

i dont think it has anything to do with the cable, looking at my joplin I would say the leverage could be improved making the operation easier but it’s only a thumb operation so it’s not that hard.

I will be over the chase tomorrow, but with my two girls and a sledge 🙂

i have made one from ali two long bolts and two nuts, cost about £3 and works fine without removing any paint.

I have just got the same, the outer is £4 per metre, inners were £1.50 each and then the end caps and ferrules.

Total for me was £23

mukjunkie, i was sponsored by them a few years ago but not anymore (as I dont race anymore) but I have found this much better than muck off etc etc. Also the guy who started it, put bike parts in containers covered in the product for 6 months before release and not one part had faded or changed colour.

Ebay is the best place to buy it as they have great deals on there, give it a go, i’m sure you will be impressed.

Oh you dont have to but you can water it down 50/50 still giving you the same power (but I never told you that)
