I don't mind going 2nd hand at all – in fact that's how i've bought all of my bits for the bike so far.

Tails i've only been riding since about May but bought my Orange Gringo 2nd hand, albeit the bike had had very little use since new. I've definitely been bitten by the bug but can't afford to upgrade the whole bike at the minute.
Probably got about £60-70 tops when i get paid next week but may be tempted to stick with 8 speed XT it if i can find some good stuff

Thanks

Thanks Scardeypants – so i'd just have to mess around with the limit screws on the front mech?

May be interested David, can i have details here p.simmons3@yahoo.co.uk please.

Thanks

Phil

David,

Are you thinking of selling the Toras?

I fell off that loggy thing at Llandegla today 😳

Tinsy/Rickos – i think your right. I've probably never noticed it before because iv'e never used the small/small combo in the real world anyway.

Thanks for your help guys.

Rickos,

Thanks very much – i'm really new to this :oops:so appreciate your help

So it would be enough on small /small for the chain to rub the bottom of the mech cage anyway?

That's waht i thought as it's still the same number of teeth (22).

Would there usually be a lot of slack on the small front chainring/ small rear cog combo anyway?

Great,

Thanks Njee
