Been using a Double Barrels for a few years,amazing shock,very adjustable(bad for people who dont understand it).
super smooth,very controlled and no stiction

I will be trying a Dueler once Simon(loco) gets them in the size i need.

Working in a bike shop,i like it.Better than my last job,Money isnt brilliant though

Acorn Plating

Steve is the man.has done a few Jobs for me

Sounds like the seals and bearing are a little tight,should loosen up after a few rides

Went out earlier, Baselayer short sleeve top and windproof Jacket.Was ok for 1st 4 miles,next 12 it poured down with rain and hail,wasnt to bad though.Luckily windproof is water repellant.

I have a full house alarm with door and pir in both of my sheds,Alarm goes off,Alarm phones me…

Wasnt that expensive..compared to what it protects

Middle ring needs changing,They look elongated.

I did the same a few months ago,see it a lot on bikes in the shop.

Its making my eyes bleed…

I have mine in a Chris King BB so might be different

Newer crank brothers are better,especially the Needle and cartridge bearing type.
Didnt have much luck with the plastic bushings in the older ones

There should be a spring washer fitted,if this is there you can get small packers(spacers) that fill up the spaces and adjust the chain line

Was made redundant after 13 years at the same Job,Was a bit gutted at the time,Decided to try a change,Had been Engineering/welding Fabricating for 17 years,HAve now been working in a bike shop Since May.Now thinking my ex employer did me a favour, A lot happier,not as grumpy,better conditions,I ride more and everything seem good.Was a drop in money,but i am so much happier.
I Finished on The friday,started at the shop on the Tuesday…

Good luck in finding a job,If you have skills/right attitude you will find a job.

Nicolai AC. Love it.

2.5yrs of thebest trail bike i have ridden

Simon told me he was popping in and doing the odd Job,but havent spoke to him for a few days,As others have said his wife was due to have a baby about now.So maybe he is just celebrating and enjoying a bit of family time.

oh great,just brought a set,as my old set were looking battered(2yrs),will keep the old ones as spares i think.

Healing vibed Geetee. 😀

If the weather is like its down here,you wont miss much.

leave them both running in there for a month,to allow bacteria to form in the new filter.

Goldfish are dirty fish,so need plenty of filtration and regular water changes

Came back from Afan yesterday,was a few bits shut,nothing too bad.Trails were soaking wet.lots of puddles aswell,Rides well in the wet though.You will be fine

Looks like where the weld has burnt through and sagged inside and then be reamed/cleaned up.

You could have your new frame Specced with a Cannondale lefty Headtube.Might be worth the extra money to save the hassle.

I have an AC 26er.have had for a few years now,Nicest bike i have ridden,perfect for xc/trail and playing around on.
Unless you are hitting DH tracks i would go AC,as someone has already said the new AC is 160mm fork ready so seems the new frame could have the capabilty of riding bigger stuff.

Speak to Simon@nicolai uk and ask him to get a Reset racing headset fitted(From factory),think they have a 3mm stackheight.

Agree with munrobiker.

Most of the time its lack of maintenance,Also theres a lot of people who want things done instantly.
Theres always the few customers that i would like to tell to go away,but as i need a job,i keep quiet and keep smiling

If i am in the workshop,when i have finished the bike,i phone them,I will always leave a message on the answerphone if there is one.and if no answerphone will phone again after 3-4 hrs.

If we are waiting for parts,we try to book the job in for the day or next day after the parts are meant to arrive.

If parts are out of stock,i will phone the customer and tell them.and try to give a time scale based on the suppliers delivery date

I always try to phone back.
But as as mentioned,sometimes the shop/workshop is manically busy and it sometimes is delayed until the next day.

Theres Jobs out there,I was made redundant after 13 years for the same company,got a new job in 4 days,2 of them were the weekend

And they need the frame fully stripped of paint and Laquer.

I thought the XML-T6 was only rated too 1040 Lumen

As above, “NO” its trying to bend the bolts,will apply more preesure to one side of the bolt.

Mine has never done that,I use Juice lubes bearing grease

I live in Cornwall.

bring some good weather with you please

My Ac, 30lb trail shredder.

Julius Ball,Likes MTB riding aswell

New versions (2013) dont need the sliders resetting,Theres a also a version without the lower boot,uses a standard lip seal to stop water/dirt ingress.

I buy what i can afford.dont care what other people can or cant buy.
I have a pretty good bike,but if it came to it i would ride a £300 hardtail,as long as i can ride i will be happy.

My Nicolai Ion-st Dh bike.
That bike was class

Try a sram mech,New type 2 is amazing,almost silent even on the roughest of tracks
