    Thanks for the suggestions! Replaced cable including adding a bigger loop of outer at the back as this seemed a little tight. No better. Hanger is straight. No internal cables.

    Mech looks straight and is basically brand new but has a lot of side to side play. I’m thinking this is the issue. In the largest front ring everything runs fine, middle its ok but a bit rough, smallest ring its shite. Would this make sense? The extra tension the rear mech is under in the bigger rings is reducing the amount of play in the mech?

    im around 6ft and 11 stone and wish I had gone for the large to be honest, would rather have too much space then not enough.

    performance wise it does well but you will need to keep your head covered with a micro tarp or similar. A friend of mine managed to roll out from his tarp and woke up soaked because you cant seal the top of the bag but for the price there awesome.

    cool thanks.

    did you use it much with a rack and were you carrying much weight?

    plan to do some light touring on it next year so hope you were just unlucky!

    my xbox died last month got a second hand one from CeX. £95.
    It died in the first 2 weeks and they tried to refuse me a refund but in the end gave in and payed up!
    i just forked out for a new one instead. Have had 4 second hand xboxs over the years and all have gone faulty eventually, the new model hopefully addresses some of the issues of the old one.

    i've had a couple do this to me got them repaired by a guy at a local computer shop. the first shop i took one to charged me 25 quid to look at it then told me it was dead, the second shop fixed it in a couple of mins and charged me £30 he also said it shouldnt happen again, after a year of heavy use its still running fine.

    similar thing happened to my girlfriends laptop half a pint of water soaked in over night.
    half the keys dont work so she just got a cheap travel keyboard to use instead. bit of a pain in the arse but i'm guessing Repair will be much more than a tenner!
