    Just drill it. That’s what I did with an out of warranty Cove (if these things matter).
    Getting the angle’s not a problem. But use a new drill bit and remember drilling ally is as easy as drilling cheese!

    This is Mrs Polisherman. I also wanted a ring with a stone that didn’t stick out too much. I chose a simple gold band with 7 tiny diamonds studded randomly round it. I love it and can wear it on the bike without worrying about it getting damaged. Ignore any comments about how much it should cost, it’s irrelevant. Choose with your heart and she will love it……

    Yeah, I’ve got small hands, so some of your comments make me think large grips could help.

    Hi, I’m selling my Wife’s 15″ Kona Dawg Supreme. Very light Scandium frame so could well suit. Cheap price too (and open to offers!)

    130mm U-turn. I tend to run it 120mm most of the time, back up to 130mm for descents if I fancy stopping. 60mm stem.

    All depends where in the country you ride I guess.

    We considered it a while back, but the rush hour traffic is really bad. No problem if you work from home/Glossop.

    We chose Saddleworth, it’s fantastic, but sssshhhh don’t let anyone know!

    Yeah, I rang Orange to check that a shim was ok on my new 5 first. No problem for that frame.

    My old lever was super tight, I’m sure it was adjustable… Have they changed the design possibly?

    Yeah, they do that! I’ve got the micro Ti (air) so no quite the same. Went back more than a few times. They put in a revised top out bush, I think.

    Bought some of their approach shoes….soles complete cr@p. If you look at them then they wear out.

    I remember the days of the old Karrimor and their factory shop. Clayton wasn’t it?

    Kerrera is fantastic with the kids! took my 10 and 14 yr olds this aug. I think we went on a Tues and the cafe was closed. You can “ride” down to the old wrecked boat for a careful clamber, the castle is incredible, like being on a film set. Stinky goats and a rock like a cheese triangle. Yes there will be a bit of pushing, but choose a nice day and you should love it.

    I had exactly the same problem with judder. New mazocchi forks and headset. I was using “wavy” aftermarket rotors and it made the bike unridable. I swapped it to “round” shimano rotor (using SLX brakes) and problem solved. I didn’t really notice it with the old forks ‘cos they were completely knackered!!

    Great vid!

    I love a bit of cheeky riding, but like to keep it low key. So have mixed feelings about this one. I walked off the end of St. Sundays the other week, saw a few tracks and thought “Bloody ‘ell, this would be good”.
    But watching a large group cutting through the switchbacks at the bottom in glorious HD quality for ALL to see, it’s gonna wind people up.
    Right to roam? Right to ride? You know the red socks are just looking for an excuse to contain us within trail centres…

    Yep, mine too. I thought it may have been due to using a shim on gravity dropper, putting extra force on the joint.
    After a lot of research I discovered this wonderful chap…

    He advertises ally repairs and it was Argos frame builders who told me to try him. He added a gusset and resprayed it. 12 months on and no problems at all.

    Got my 17″ yesterday Skywalker, fits like a glove, the 18″ is a gate, might as well ride a pennyfarthing.
    Not only did Guy Martin personally hand make it for me, in Yorkshire but he even put the correct air pressure in the rear shock.

    five ten and a bit here. Just ordered a 17″ after trying a friends 16″, and another mates 18″. The 18″ felt very reachy even with a short stem. I could ride the 16″ beter but felt cramped, so hooray for Orange and their 17″!
