27.2 / 400 seatpost. 28.6 Hope q/r seat clamp so not overtightened. About 1/3 of the post in the frame – well above the min mark. All this should be ok?

nothing special at all on mine – just a normal mid price range SRAM chain which seems fine.

@ Rik – sent you an email re your frame.

Solicitor – a job I hate. Used to be an agricultural mechanic, a job I loved but which after 15 years in the job I was on £6.50 per hence the change in job.

Brighton Rock or Lock Stock

ta for all the above pointers. 3lts today and some rehydrating powder i found in boots – will see how i feel tomorrow.

Itheisinger = how much is plenty and what sort of rehydration drink does your mate use?

Glais – end of arguement!

Kinesis Decade Virsa is around the £300.00 mark

wow – sorry mate.

i thought it was just me on the whole finals thing!! 1999.

£17.oo for a chancel search. Google the Aston Cantlow case, hundreds of thousands. The search is called a “no search” seach and searches down to parish / tithe district level. If your search comes back with a “report” it doesn’t mean your particular property is affected and you can get an insurance policy to cover the risk – around £100 depending on the value of the property. If you are getting a mortgage your mortgagee would also require the policy to be taken out.

will fit your rs7s.

what provision has been made in the financial settlement – would normaly be an order for sale here i think

Wordsworth Cottage in Patterdale is great, sleeps 6, Details on web.

Reasonably often – one of my favorite loops includes Sarn Helen from Coelbren/Banwen to Heol Senni and back via Ystradfellte/PNV.

can you not claim as a bridleway – 20 years use. see open spaces society web site

I am guessing that your fil has a solicitor to advise/undertake the sale – ask him/her to recommend an agent

something happening to Tony – getting stressed and overworking, accident with broken tractor he was working on yesterday either that or Ian turns out to be the father of Helen’s baby.

Headbutted tree at speed on The Wall at Afan knocked out bust helmet in two and broke knuckle somewhere along the way also – not sure what happened, cant remember, came too in heap on the trail. Shame really cracking uo to that point.

had mine for about 8 years after a sinus infection. See the British Tinnitus Association web site which has useful info.

Grandfather always had dogs so read Kipling’s ‘Four Feet’

valleydaddy, let me know where and when, too short notice for tommorow but let me know for next time.

Its about a mile and a bit from my front door so will give it a go, just looks very cheeky from the os.

Loops around Crynant. Sarn Helen was good in the snow if a bit nippy.

grannygrinder, not meaning to ignore you on your own post, as mentioned, based in glais at the bottom of the swansea valley. new to night riding so was going to try a loop around the forest road at crynant this wed if you are interested just to get the feel of it. email in profile.

@valleydaddy, I,m in glais so would be keen to find out more if possible.

Roman – ygm.

no one at all? didn’t Ambrose and co’ used to get outin the week ?

sorted. hope pro 2 front hub, loads of space. pair s/h crossrides anyone?

I have just built up a Kenisis Decade Vira – good frame and well pleased

I think i am going to have to go back to 160mm front rotor and change the wheel set when i can.

how the **** can maviv make a hub that is too f**king wide!! mavic crossride with 6 bolt adaptor gives me about 20 thou clearance between disc and top post mount. old non branded front hub (some sort of shimano copy which the mavic were bought to upgrade but which after 2 years of abuse are still truer than the mavics after a dozen or so rides incidentaly ) gives 3-4 mm !!!! should have saved up a bit more for hope hoops, toys leaving the pram – now.

i do on my 1×9 no problem and run without a chaindevice on a middleburn uno chainring

s.wales – live just outside swansea at bottom of swansea valley. 25 mins to afan, 30 mins to gower m/biking (on mountains)out the front door

the same. have it plus one link instead of plus two to avoid chaindrop.

has the hope adaptor but it is the rotor itself that is too close to the ‘post’ on the fork casting itself. Its like the rotor need to come back toward the wheel a couple of mm / the hub on the wheel is too wide!!

can be made to rub and no, its not a floating rotor.

I’m running my decade virsa as a 1×9 at the moment with a middleburn uno chainring. I am running the chain plus one link (instead of plus two links). Plenty of bouncy trails with hardly any drops , twice in the last dozen or so outings. I have a Paul Chainkeeper to go on at some point but the uncluuttered front uno chainring looks too nice at the moment.

nice – 11/32 or 11/34 out of interest
