……to have a spare log-on, just in case!
😀

Untick them itunes and re-sync the phone, will delete all those on your ipod that are not ticked.

That was the first thing I tried and it didn't work

You should tick the little box that says you want to manage music manually, then you just drag whatever you want onto your phone

I'll try that, thanks, but it does seem a long winded way of doing it!

Who’s Glupton?

Nooooooooooo! Don’t lurk!
😀

Buy a bleed kit and do it properly.
That’s the most elegant solution by far. Takes 10 mins.
🙂

Oh-oh. I guess it does…
😉

LOL
😀

So does “what tyres for” get through then?

mboy –
I think full sus MTB design is less of “which is better/more efficient” now than it is a “horses for courses” excercise.

Agreed. Even though I’ve only ridden 4 full bouncers, I’d say matching the bike to what you do/ride is more important than what design it is.
🙂

SOD OFF!!!

😉

That looks propper cold. It’s making me shiver just looking at the pics!
🙂

Also looks like a bloody fantastic ride… ::envy::

😀

Just found this, which is useful –

Pitch FSR Rider Height Rider Height (cm)
Bike Size
Small 5′ 0″ – 5′ 6″ 152 – 168
Medium 5′ 6″ – 5′ 11″ 168 – 180
Large 5′ 11″ – 6′ 2″ 180 – 188
X-Large 6′ 2″ – 6′ 6″ 188 – 198

Simon, a Horst link has a pivot on the chainstay, just in front of the dropout, rather than on the seatstay. The blurb says they remain more active under pedalling and braking…… Which IME is true, but not really that big a deal
🙂

top end cars have air suspension that changes at the touch of a button, ‘magnetic’ shocks that don’t compress under cornering loads to keep a car flatter in the corners

WHich is pretty much the equivilent of a fancy platform shock on an MTB, yes? The basic design of the bits of metal that keep the wheels connected to the vehicle hasn’t changed, just evolved. OK, live axles have pretty much died out, but how long has yer basic wishbone or McPherson strut been around, eh? (Since 1949, apparently!)

I’ll say it again, it’s all just gradual development. Nothing really new for a loooooooong time
🙂

Pitch owners, what are they like sizing wise? MBR review felt you could opt for a smaller than usual size.

Ignore them and go try one. IMO they feel rather small for their marked size, certainly a sortish cockpit. At 5’8″, 30′ inside leg, I felt like I was bang in the middle of a medium rather than at the lower end as on other bikes.

You can say exactly the same about car and motorbike suspension too, except that’s been pretty much the same for even longer……

Gradual evolution. More travel, lighter weight, tweaked axle paths. Stuff changes bit by bit as the technology becomes available and as the designers get smarter. But there’s only so many ways of suspending a rear wheel, and like you say shocks have changed massively and that’s where the real gains have been. Just try comparing a Fox RP3 from about 2-3 years ago with an RP23 – The difference in ride/feel is very obvious even though they look pretty much the same

Yup, and they’ll fine you as much as £300 if you get caught with no insurance….. I wonder why they do it?….. Hmmmmmmmm…..

Geared Kaffs here

😀

Kaffenbacks are on Planet X, Pomps are sold SS only AFAIK

Thanks for the info guys, I reckon it’s best to hang on to them and see how they go first. I won’t need to bleed them for a while (hopefully) as it’s on a new bike
🙂

Or making wooden lights!

Cheers

Should have said – Any other comments on J3s?

Do we really have to explain why you doing ANYTHING MECHANICAL at all is generally a very very poor idea indeed? Especially any sort of ‘modification’ or ‘construction’…..

😯

Ahh, invisible bike components. I have some of those…..

The split link goblin has eaten it!

I’ve ridden both and the pitch rides great when new but tires very quickly – as do most Spesh IMO.

I had a 2004 FSR before the Yeti and I’d totally disagree with that. Any well amitained bike will last well.

Yep. And I’d tell them first before I did it. Wouldn’t be a nice thing to do, so I’d give them a chance, but I’d still do it.

They don’t feel too bad weight wise when you pick one up. I’m going to swap my Yeti 575 for one…..

THIS! :o)

Yeti is on Ebay now, complete bike. I’ve been offered a killer deal on a brand new Pitch Pro at an LBS, but I have to move fast……

It’s better than the old one ever was. They really should keep it as it is….
🙂

Yup. Not bad at all Aleigh. I got a Wii, so now I’m a computer game addict….

And one of THESE which is the loudest bell you’ve ever heard – With a really cheery DING-DONG! sound!

😀

I did Penmachno and Marin. Had a wonderful time!

If you think it’s too expensive, just don’t buy one. I don’t imagine Howies themselves are expecting to sell too many of them.

Ahh, that’s not broke. Easily mendable
🙂

Evenin’ all. Normal service is resumed…..
:o)
