    Worked great for me a few years back, hope it will be a good incentive this time too. Email in profile

    Kendal is staying afloat at the moment. Burneside and the North end has seen some flooding but the Southern end of town is OK at the moment. The Kent has dropped slightly near me since this afternoon but with 6" more rain forecast for tonight I may have to think about moving the bikes out of the shed as it's almost on my lawn.

    I have a Mountain Morph but it a little past it's best after a hard life. I recently bought the Lezyne HV pump linked above and it's a great bit of kit, much prefer it to the Morph. Given the pressure you want to put in I would imagine the High Pressure road version may be a better choice though as it goes to 160 psi rather than 90.

    Some car disc brake cleaners contain additives to stop discs rusting, fine on nice hot car discs, but will trash pads on an MTB.

    All the products I have seen or used claim to leave no residue. I currently use Wurth brake cleaner at work and occasionally on my bikes to no ill effect, likewise with other brands in the past. Given that SJS cycles sell Wurth branded cleaner for bike use maybe I just struck lucky. I have heard similar claims before so would be interested to see which products will trash my pads if possible so I can avoid them in the future.
    The only difference I found with my one bike specific purchase was a nicer smell which wasn't enough to convince me to pay over the odds.

    You can’t beat seeing a real life Physio Stu, especially for your long term injury. Close to home I recommend The Body Rehab[/url] at Staveley or a little further afield there’s Sioelan[/url]who you may be familiar with.

    Or you could just MTFU :P

    I have had my 120 Trail for a little over a year. The bike as others have said is plush and pedals well, my riding is mainly in the Lakes.
    I have had a few problems with mine;
    A quad link cracked on my first frame after a month. Complete frame replaced within a week as a precaution so no complaints there.
    My current frame is waiting to be replaced due to a superficial crack in the filler near the head tube, seems drastic but I’m not complaining. This was spotted by the mechanic whilst tracking a serious creaking which I thought was the third bottom bracket on it’s way out but turned out to be a bearing housing cracked in the quad link which has been replaced again.
    I have worn and broken most things hanging off the frame including the forks, hub, rear wheel, bottom bracket etc so I think it would be fair to say mine is well used.

    Whilst the bike was in limbo regarding the latest frame I was lent a Trek carbon fuel EX9 for a few weeks by the LBS (Wheelbase at Staveley) and it has to be said I was very impressed with it and recommend you add one to your short list and demo if you can. I wouldn’t of been disappointed to of kept the Trek although long term ownership might be different.

    Didn’t find any sweets with my seat posts last week :( Always gone above and beyond for me in the past though so mustn’t grumble.

    Options are standard QR or 15mm RWS which is a good lump more money. Unless of course you got a bargain from Wiggle[/url] :D Just need Whyte to pull their finger out with my replacement frame so I can try them out.
