    Back from the pub to which I put the question too also. 😛

    Yeap the tranny is cooler but Ti has that nice feel.
    Not sure how the tranny will feel if you know what I mean.

    Super stiff or flex in the right places???

    I have been informed too that carbon is in fact repairable as you put it.
    Can you expand on your last comment.

    @Psychle – this nearly dead thread just got me thinking what you do for a living, I thought you could afford to go to a bike shop!???

    So why the need for a 2nd hand seller thread???????????????????????????

    Confused to say the least.

    Genuinely interested what you do for a living though as I WANT IN!

    Perfect ime. when I say rough rocky stuff, I mean massive gully’s with massive rocks scattered everywhere.

    Sure you could build it into a heavy trail bike but you’d probably get a ragley or whatever for that kind of riding as it would be missing the point not to build up light and fast.

    I’ve tried various ti hardtails and the Whyte is the one for (for me) uk all round xc riding.

    Get one, you won’t regret it whatever flavour (material) you get it in.

    Sir called, – yes I have the Ti one and can honestly say, it’s very nimble and sure is quick.

    I definitely have to take it easy down the rough stuff (big rocks) though as what the mags test mentioned. Plus the fact that it has pretty light kit fitted.

    It’s one for fast flowing/techy trails I feel.
    Frame has great detailing, has real world features and geo is spot on with a 120mm fork, might even be better with 130mm but 120mm is definitely the sweet spot for this ht and for all ht’s imo.

    They measure up perfect although they should of offered the giraffes of the biking world, a 21″.

    Anything specific you want to know about the 19 ti? 🙂
    I would of thought the 19 steel to be pretty good geo wise (like all Whyte’s) but is a tad heavy for what it is plus the 2011 forks aren’t bolt thru – WHY!?

    What size are you after?

    Parkesie – so come on, what’s the worst kind of driving incident you have caused then? (genuinely interested)

    Plus what you think you’re all goody tooshoe – come on pull the other one.

    @amplebrew – now you’ve admitted you have two dogs and have a 29er whatever that is, you definitely need help 😯 😛

    Try logging onto your e-mail at the moment has been a pain in the ass for too long now and is still to be a pain until the 31st october!

    Eh? that makes no sense?

    Anyhow, it’s on the bottom of nearly every phone so they can meet regulations about radiated power into your head. Being a bit further away from your head makes a big difference.

    Hows that not make sense!?

    Right but only 3″ extra away from your head. WTF so not much difference then.

    bit bitey my comment there but there you have it. 😛

    @CHB – My god, you sound like a right piece of work, you actually replied to his thread in regards to selling a Ti456, not offering any real life opinion of what they are like to ride hence the thread title.

    🙄

    I’m pretty sure the head angles on the Van Nicks are steep as they were never really designed for true off road unlike other examples of Ti ht frames.

    Depends what build your going for, i.e. ss/geared, rigid forked & 100mm- then go Van Nick, or geared big fork and heavy weight kit then 456.

    TBh, I would’nt run gears on an On-one as they sucky sucky on the chain.
    (Chainrings were newish at the time aswell so no real chainring wear apparent).

    [/quote]Is the Desire HD out now or have you pre ordered it?

    Well it could have been P4U as apparently they were the only sketchy sales robots (I mean people) to have 1st stock of them. – Even though he had 1 left of which someone had already put a deposit down for it.

    Trying to prompt me into travelling to come and buy it on a £40pm+ tariff.

    What ever happened to rewarding customer’s for renewing their contract and upgrading their phone through them let alone listening to their bulls#it.

    The 3 of the sales tactical tw#nts in the shop didn’t even know what a Amoled screen was and that if the Hd desire would have it, Let alone what battery time was like for the standard desire!

    Would be nice to know where the antenna is on the HD desire as on my 5800, it’s on the bottom of the handset so I have to talk upside down.

    MEH!

    So what software is the fastest and easiest to use. the interface on the desire looks simple, easy to use like most I aasume.

    Just about to buy an Hd desire today.

    Anything worth pointing out pro’s/con’s before I go for it!?

    GrahamS- it’s a must for ”me” is what I should of written.

    @IA – so what’s the N8 upto then, used the hdmi yet?

    Is the new symbian V3 any faster than the 5800/x10??????????????

    😕

    Mainly because I don’t own a house! Like some of the rich/elderly off here.

    Plus insurance for the 1st 60% odd of my contract time is a must.

    Was paying £4.99 pm, but £13.99 pm, JUST BECAUSE IT’S AN ”IPHONE”, no ta.

    [/quote]I have a Nokia 5800 at the moment which is obviously not in the same league as the three discussed above but the SatNav (which I use a lot) is excellent.

    I would dearly love the Nokia N8 to be a great device but I’m not sure it is

    You speak the truth, I’m exactly in the same boat as you.

    I shall be choosing the HD Desire, mainly because I’m not paying £13.99 for iphone insurance a month, F@@K THAT!

    I take it you downloaded the new satnav version for the 5800 which is much clearer to use?

    N8 is still going to be running Symbian though so no good for a phone for all my needs type.
    Still looks good mind.

    The old macs were damn good and impressed me but Apple aren’t really grabbing me with the iphone tbh.

    @”Torminalis” – SO then, who did you order the HD Desire through and also how much a month?

    @”gravity-slave” – Can you 100% confirm this? is the case regarding hd recording at 720p as the desire does not have a video camera according to a print out of specs that I have seen.

    I too would be interested to hear.

    I’m guessing your thinking carbon because it’s only £500 more than the ally version of the nomad which is £2000! 😯

    There must surely be plenty of folk on here that ride a nokmad :!::?:

    There’s lots of punks on the classifieds on this website.

    More importantly, those who are regular and seem to be god’s gift to the mtb community are certainly not excluded from being the punks.

    Would rather buy new with warranty and get it sent to me quickly for extra ££.

    Seems illogical to buy from here unless your sourcing very cheap parts to build a pub build imo.

    Apparently yes T-mobile along with Orange should be ok as the signal cuts between the 2 so I’m informed.

    Is it true you have to give a month in advanced letter to confirm you want to cancel your contract???

    Hmmm interesting foxyrider, maybe they are short supply of union jacks in barnoldswick.

    Would be useful to get confirmation on whether or not tech top caps are on ''oem'' brakes?

    If you go for DMR mags, just don't get them near road salt/grit, totally obliterates the magnesium and corrodes the seen to be magical pedal material.

    Well tbh, I assumed that the union jack one was an upgrade (if you can call it that).

    I've the tech top cap one and couldn't give a wotsit about the union jack one. 🙄

    As for the brake fluid – check the hoses have been fitted correctly and that more importantly there's none on the pads.

    Let me guess, you got them from ''merlincycles''?

    Etnies are THE WORST you could wear as they are harder than a hard thing.

    Good stiff soles mind.

    Me wanty so baddy, but the limit for a cassette would have to be £80 for a coloured one that would last a while for me I'm afraid.

    Would these fit Mavic Dee's wheels then?

    @MrNutt, Those are some nice DC's, I have some Spartan highs but would like to add that they don't come close to the grip of the 5.10's highs that I have which seem to be lasting well.

    Had one of the 1st batch and they didn't last that well but they saw walking, climbing, biking and snow etc so not bad atall.

    As for the correcting position on the pedals with the 5.10's, your damn right but takes a second to do if your sharpish so no real worries.

    GET SOME!

    😛

    @GW – let me guess, you ride dh in flippies ❓ 😮

    On the bolt front, I went for 2sets in the end before I got back on here to read the info from your good-self zangolin.
