do the tow bar ones lock/secured to the tow mount?

i keep on seeing people faffing with them at car parks, putting them in the boot etc. are they easily stolen?

NOPE! was out at llandegla yesterday, mud bath!

tracer!

my xtr's have been great, long life from the pads and absolutely no faffing required in over 2 years

yeah save your cash, use the force..

Porizkova '85 won for me

disappointed..

if they need to save cash they should ditch their pointless TV channels BBC 3 and 4 which are only on after 7pm

booo! what a let down!

you missed out a question mark…

i've used 115 and 118, but it was on a mk1 soul

i regularly have to report untaxed slightly damaged vehicles round where I live (no offroad parking for residents)

neighbours have pointed out to me one of the buildings round the corner is a large bedsit full of polish workers, and the vehicles appear to be simply left on the street when some have left the country

authorities seem very happy to remove them though

jim – i'd recommend you taking a rest

i have a mtb'ing mate at work who is complaining of similar thing, he had the flu at xmas and since then three bad colds and currently has a chest infection, but he won't give it a break for a few weeks and keeps getting ill

My Evil Sov is 853 Main T and 725 stays, if the paperwork is right

what is the head tube made out of?

the pixies are ace!

god, he even admits to owning a corsa as well

pmsl at the buy it now price!

Everything costs what people will pay

Exactly !
Always get the occasional "why does XYZ cost so much" thread with the same moans'n'groans, but it doesn't stop people clicking the 'add to basket' button…….

but do they?

i don't, i'd love some new coil lyriks, but i am not going to pay over £700 for what i consider a basic coil fork that 18months ago i could of bought for around £400 <kicks myself>

The Fox is far smoother and more supple

and slightly cheaper mmmm

bump.. anybody else?

at least you've had a copy…! the postie must still have mine 🙂

why thank you gents!

i'm no fan of the DW frame but toons is a winner 🙂

still waiting for the new RFX though ;(

ditto bakes – been burgled and lost two very expensive bikes myself

i do hope you do get them back though

lyrik u-turn, if it was me

X2's? i'd have got the M4's myself, no need for dinner plates then… unless you are ten stone nothing….

i've not used them to be honest (but have M4's on a Patriot and a Five) but have always just thought on them as just set of posh mini mono's; which i used to run on my Soul and they were pants – and a bike like a 5AM deserves decent brakes

excellent news!

i missed out on a brand new green unit (2007?) a couple of months ago on ebay by £5- it went for around £110-£115

i'd be looking at the 2010 36 Talas or the 2010 150mm u-turn revs for a five

The Mamasita frame was SH.

i ask because it looks just like a work mates stolen one

was that mamasita an e-bay/secondhand bargain daffy?

try a scabbler on them, that'll un-polish the surface for sure! 😉

1. yes the reviews are good, the bike is a very good trail centre machine, but considerable cash is spend with the magazines on advertising, so read into this yourself

2. it is quite active if you run a lot of sag, not a problem with a pro-pedal or swinger shock, but its a 5.5inch FS'er and not a anthem, any bob i get doesn't bother me

3. i reckon around 66 to 66.5 for the 2010 frames, the geometry for the Five AM is on the webshite

4. about 30-31 lbs

i don't work for orange BTW but ride several different ones, ultimately you should test ride one, don't make an expensive purchase off the advice from a webshite…

'bout 8:30am-ish

£2.50 or £4 depending on duration

yes – signed well

do two laps – blue first lap then then red with all the black options second, this should come to about 20 miles (the black sections are not that bad)

get a real man to fit your tyres in future 😉 joke!!

fit 'em with tubes the night before – it helps stretch the bead and generally makes inflating a tubeless ready/ust tyre a bit easier

then remove the inner and inflate with soapy beads and wheel milk

tubeless ready acx would be better as an all year tyre, it clears mud pretty well tbh

sorry but am i missing something here? if you buy a new 15QR lower, don't they come with the hatched brace?

my 2008 Float 140mm QR had the hatched brace btw, but were flexier than a noodle… mojo recently quoted me £129 for new 15QR lowers

are you riding in really muddy conditions or trail centres in the wet?

tbh i don't have an issue with racing ralph ust's around a trail centre in the pouring rain, but i won't bother with them in the local forests

for a more alrounder type tyre i prefer the bonty acx's tubeless ready over the mud-x, but the Medusa LUST are very good in really muddy conditions (better than the trailraker ust/mud-x tubeless ready imo)

get rid of the nics – they are hopeless

i seem to remember someone saying NN's were ace….

mmmm… nice and new…

not my cup of tea – orange, blue and silver but hay ho!

i thought about using argos with the very same colour for a restoration project; it that the no.77 enamel orange? is it much brighter in the flesh? as your photos appear slightly duller than the argos one
