It shouldnt do. Its how mine is wired up and I can get all the freeview channels. 🙂

If you send the aerial feed to the sky box it will do that for you.

@rob

Youre turning a bigger wheel with the same cassette, so effectively its a higher gear.

e.g. a 34t front to a 34t rear on a 26 inch bike is 26.0 gear inches
a 32t front to a 34t rear on a 29 inch bike is 26.2 gear inches

so for the same overall gear ratio on a 29 er as a 26er (with the same cassette) you need a smaller front ring.

Gaslight anthem?

I recently placed an order with them for a set of pro 2 hubs. They were the cheapest by far. After a week I rang, said they were waiting for a delivery form hope (said instock on website).

After almost another week I rang again to be told that hope were witholding stock from them as they were de-valuing the brand. Order cancelled and told a refund would be made.

At the same time a friend of mine had ordered a set of V4 brkes. His order was also cancelled.

I have had a set on my enduro for a couple of months now and Im still on the same bearings 🙂

However, the pins arent as grippy as DMR vaults and I found myself slipping a bit. (wearing 5:10’s)

Im going to change the pins to grub screws and see if its any better.

Kielder 100 +1

safety sticker now removed 😛

I do like the reflective rim tape, though I have gone for a ‘semi-stealth’ approach.

The orange bits are the i-link boots, stops the chinking noise.

I had a bit slop around on a muddy hill last night, and lower is definatley better on the pressure front. 20 psi offered very little grip on a greasy climb, and a 36T front with a 34T on the back ring is too big for me. In the manual it says a 34 is the biggest that will fit, but a 36 on a truvativ stylo crankset fits.

There is a reason my kitchen floor is so clean, something to do with angle grinders and cold garages. 😉

Having a local ride out in the woods with the club tonight, I’ll see how it fairs against the regulars.

Mines pretty much finished.

Got to shorten brake hoses, change stem, swap crank over and change seat.

Had a maiden voyage today, fantastic. Taking it to Dalbeattie on Sunday for a proper workout!

5 ounces butter
4 ounces light muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
12 ounces porridge oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 medium ripe bananas

Mix all together, bake, then cover with dairy milk. Trail fuel!

My youngest (5) has a cratoni full face lid. Wast massively expesive, its a good fit and he doesnt mind wearing it all day. IIRC its a small juniors.

+1 on the Bell skate helmets as he has one of them too.

doh!

Thanks again…..

cheers, Ill drop them a line monday.

Loved it this year, new jumpy bit was ace. Had a really crap start but still managed 6 laps.

Nice to put a name to a face Ben Houldsworth. I was with Paul Errington when you came over for a bit craic.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible, will be back again next year!

2010 in large. Love it.

Im a veteran this year…

My 456c is stickerless matt with all black bits

My enduro is like a xmas tree with barnoldswicks finest red bits.

So both!

My hopes occasionally go spongy for no apparent reason. To remedy this I have to ‘align the pads’. There is a proper term for it but I can’t remember it right now.

Basically, have a look at your pads and how far they are off the disc. Use a screwdriver or similar to apply force to the piston/pad that is closest to the disc. Apply pressure to the lever. This will allow the pad/piston that is further from the disc to move independently. It will stay there and you will have a solid lever again.

If you have a look on YouTube there is a video put up by hope that describes this. ‘Bleeding tech lever’ but I find its relevant.

Cracking apartments

Had a week in the lakes earlier this year. This was my favourite ride

bit hike a bike, but great descent.

If the scheme is anything like our current scheme, nothing.

The final payment you have to make to transfer ownership wipes out pretty much all the savings you make over the course of the year.

Our scheme has a final payment of 25% of the purchase cost if the initial purchase cost is over £500.

Im better off buying online. YMMV

I used to use skin so soft and it worked ok for me, still got the odd one though.

Using Smidge now, its working well, and has a bonus of not smelling as strongly.

I had a 4 yr old vito a while back, the 112. It was awful.
Noisy, crap gearbox, started to rust, propshaft failed, massive electrical gremlins and drove like a van. Had 60k on it with FSH.

I now have a LWB Renault traffic crew cab. Sits 6, (although the front middle seat is a little cramped) and swallows 6 bikes and kit with ease. It will take 4 bikes without removing wheels.

Drives like a big car, low to mid 30’s on diesel, quiet and comfortable.

I blacked the windows and stuck one big wheels on. Looks canny IMO.

eBay link for reference.

That’s the kind of thing you need.

Chav tastic. Most definately NSFW

When my triad stuck down I had a go at fixing it myself broke it.

I replaced it with a stock RP23, think the stroke was a wee bit longer than the triad, I didnt have any issues with it. 2008 model.

Im going to enterI’ve entered anyway, I have heard from a couple of mates that they want to do it 🙂

If any Newcastle ish peeps want to share a ride, I can carry 6 bods and 6 bikes in the van no bother.

Where are you coming from mrlugz?

Newcastle. 🙂

Want to do it again, hoping to have someone fuel share with me this time though….

Another one to avoid…
I had a 4TB western digital my book world 2. Forever locking up and didnt like shifting files larger than 1GB

Sold it. I dont bother streaming now, just have a large external drive for backups.

They also do a ‘ride but not race’ week.
You get to ride the route, fully supported, Meals and B&B’s etc.

Im booked to go in May next year. really looking forward to it.

Top of my head it’s a 22 36, think that is what comes standard.

If you are into solo epics, could be worthwhile checking these out if you are worried.

Hexham isn’t too far from gosforth. You could always pop into M. Steels and pick something up.

Sorry……… 😉

I had to google Hugo rune. Now I have something to investigate. Cheers!

Oops double post

I always assumed that they turned into those wire coat hangers. I have loads in my wardrobe but I’ve never bought any.

Has the bearing cup sheared off?

There should be play up and down with it removed.

Pompom +1

Cracking bike for that money.

My Dad just glued bits of old carpet to the bottom of his chairs using Evo stick. Hasn’t scratched the floor, doesn’t look hideous either.

I finished last year, have done more riding this year and prepped the bike better (IMO) and feeling a bit ‘niggly’

Just got the bar ends to fit and Im sorted.
