If that was the reason surely all brakes would do that.

Haven't been to Pinnochios since I was 10!

I hope someone shoots him when he gets out.

Not italian but very good, best I've been to in Harrogate.

Do it, you wont look back.

I ride 100% of the time, even on the commuter with one finger braking.

iPhone looking like the favourite at the mo but ill have a play with the HTC Hero sometime this week.

2 weeks ago I was set on the Palm Pre but have gone right off that now.

I went for the Strikes mainly on price and actually find them pretty good. I only use them commuting 7 miles a day though. My inner moves a bit but not annoyinly so.

June apparently

Wont be using it for work.

Purly texting, phoning, interneting.

My main worry about the iPhone is the durability and battery life.

Wouldn't be paying the extra £90 for the "s" either

New grips

SO how much will these be? Whats the spec like?

tang – Biggist mistake of your life! Would have lokked to have gone to that.

Edinburgh cycles are doing one for £50 – same one I have and does the job nicely.

Just bought a pipe cutter on ebay to do a better job next time.

Not a safety boff, just worried about my handsome face!

I find snowboard/ski/hiking socks with Gore Over socks (not over shoes) work really well.

That was the sole reason behind this post, thank you grumm.

Dobbo – Better to be safe than sorry.

Becasuse everywhere you look on the net tell you to cut it dead square. Plus I'd rather not smash my face into the stem if it all goes wrong.

£6? Where from?

I've never tried Hopes but read a lot of user reviews before splashing out £300 on brakes.

I went for Saints and dont regret it one bit (12.3 stone, not that lardy just a pretty hardcore rider).

No file, will borrow one off my dad next time I go home though.

Sweet, thats the answer I was looking for!

Saints.

I looked into Hopes as they are far and away the best looking brake out there but too many reports of lack of power. Had Formula K18, great brake while they last but the internals are made of soft cheese.

Compression damping setting on the pushloc? Dail it in to take up the slack in the wire.

DX might be a bit over kill for commuting.

It is to be reconnected (shoudl have been done by now). No tape used – will do that myself when I get home.

Bought. Everything that could have been different is on my new frame.

Nice one, changing frames is proving more expensive than I thought!

Deore Crankset comes with BB I think "dusty trails".

Anyone know if there will be a significant weight difference between my olf M440 and a new deore crankset.

How do I know what axle length it is?

As above – Merlin Cycles have them for about £22.

Always Riding – Morvelo and Twin Six Tee's look nice.

So its just a threaded rod (10mm?), two nuts, two big metal washers and 2 nylon washers to make it easier to turn?

Read the jist of it – sounds pretty pathetic on both sides (not you, your wife). Just go round and sort it out. Posting on bike forums probably wont help.

I saw that note! I have just tried a 27.2mm post off my other bike – very stiff to get it in so presume 26.8mm is the one to go for. Thanks for the other sizes.

2010 metas are made in a different factory. Zestys are just the new commencal, in a year or two everyone will be talking about how bad they are!

Wait for hundreds of posts from Orange 5 owners talking about cracking commencals.

I have a 2007 Meta 5.5 – cracking bike.

What format are the films in? Needs to be a compatible format (mp4) to work. You can convert movie files (.avi etc) with a program called Handbrake but it takes a while to convert them.

I have Hope Hoops with flows. Very nice, pretty light and as said above tyres inflate well (evenly), sit nicely and have a good profile.

I've had a DT 5.1 rim before and it was excellent. Not tested the flow for long enough to compare.

I'd prob go for stans.

I mere 19 but its the most I have!
