@ramsey neil
You are correct it should be my friends speaking to the shop about these issues, the issue is that these guys are new style riders big budget no common sence just want their new bikes and want them now. One of them was even advised that if he could wait a further 4 weeks for his new bike it would be the 2015 model but still said no. And if i dont say anything nothing would get said at all.

I call these guys friends but its more of a collective phrase, i work with them, live close to them but wouldnt invite them round my house every weekend for a few drinks. They ask my advise on bikes, gear etc. then completely ignore it because they read somewhere that a more expensive item is automatically better. All of this generally leads to me being paid to do bike repairs, or getting there few months old kit when something shiney comes out

They have a very good mechanic but again potentially only good with roadies. I’ll have a chat with them tomorrow as i havn’t been in since my pals took delivery of their bikes. Cheers guys

Nealglover thanks for that at least i have something to show the guys
. They appear to be selling a lot of mtb’s recently and i can tell they would much rather deal in road but cant pass up sales. i may ask if they need a saturday boy to help with any bike that isn’t road orientated

I believe the legality is to do with us britons using our right arm to signal our intentions for turning both left and right and as such the rear brake must be supplied on the left so that speed can be safely controlled during signalling. I think i read some where as a rule of thumb if the country drives on the left the rear brake should also be on the left and vice versa.

But as i said i am unsure if it is actually a legal requirement, i want to protect the shop owners from the claim culture we live in, so that people don’t see this as an easy way to claim from the shop for any crashes etc

No need for a press mate tho they can be a bit of a pain

The upgraded parts kit that crc sent me stopped all proplems of creaking / play, i also popped all bearing seals and gace them some fresh grease at the same time

There is no base tune for the mega on the cane creek site

@james
Its st bees to robin hoods bay so i’m assuming i’ll need some decent tread. Theres a group of 14 of us doing it, all abilities from new riders to vets. Bit of a topic shift but what can i expect on this particular route as i havn’t even studied the mapping yet.

Second hand would suit me fine mate

UPDATE received the parts today and it is the bush kit as linked a couple of posts above, i will update again once i have fitted the kit with results.

This is the reply i recieved from nukeproof

Hi Robert,

This should be a really easy thing to get fixed. Please contact the dealer that you purchased the frame from and ask them to have a look at the pivot for you. I would strongly advise your friend to do the same. There is a potential issue with slightly mis-sized hardware in the pivot and your dealer will be able to tell if this is the case and remedy the situation for you.

Best regards,

Sam

When i phoned CRC they said it was quite a common issue with the 2013 frames and had the upgrade kit posted to me straight away, but havent recieved it yet so cant say what exact parts need upgrading

I dont think its sold as a spare part but it is supplied for free if you get in touch with with your retailer, my riding buddy whent through his lbs where he bought his bike and they are supplying him with the upgrade kit as well

UPDATE . Got a reply from nuke proof apparently its a common issue and there is an upgrade part kit available CRC are sending me the kit free of charge and if i am unable to fit it myself they will reimburse me for LBS labour charges.

My nerve AM climbed really well, maybe send your shock of for a service and get it custom tuned to the bike and your riding style and weight

No dramas mate, ive just took delivery of my frame from crc had my first proper ride yesterday and its an awesome bike

Its in the specification tab on the link above 216×63

Not that closely guarded http://www.nukeproof.com/products/frames/mega-am

If you need the shock mount hardwear its 8×22 top and bottom and the shock size should be 216×63 and make sure its the correct tune for the frame

Ive emailed nukeproof 3 times and had no response, anyone have a number for them

Thanks for the replys guys, il wing an email of to nukeproof and see what they say about the chainstay pivots

Tartybikes offer this service i believe, not that expensive either iirc

Cheers guys, quick answers as usual

About what i thought then it would appear he has over paid

Running 203 front 180 rear with new style xt’s with out any issues at all

I have found the guys at Sram really helpful and quick to reply they should be able to give you the answer

If a dog is born in a stable, does it make it a horse?

It is black collar as in the pics mate have you been running your upside down as i have found this greatly helps with avoiding crash damage i run my rh upside down on the left

Link to my forsale thread with pics

FS thread

If it turns out the remote is goosed i have one for sale if needed

I had my monarch pushed and it has transformed the shock, may be worth looking at a service and tune, instead of replacment

As for talas breaking i’m not sure, but from memory i think the allen key is imperial sizing, i could be wrong tho

I’m running slants and think they are fantastic, have used, fox 32’s, 36’s, sweeps, old pikes, revs, recons, and for me the slants win hands down.

Good price and excellent service here

In my regiment (infantry) this is a general day to day. Start at 8 oclock Physical training and lessons / training before lunch. After lunch generally consists of equpiment care and administration. With a finish time of around 5 oclock

Also if i was to go with this option, is the barb insert specific to the hose or the lever, so will i require the brass coloured or the silver insert?
Thanks again

Thanks for the replies guys it appears thru pins it is cheers

Cheers guys, we will be taking a complete spare bike as well. Any requirement for spokes, i assume it would be difficult to gain corrects lengths etc for each different bike

Fair one, its always the obvious thing you forget

Thanks guys, i was swinging the tune route, next questions whats the difference between having it pushed and having it tuned / revalved by the likes of loco or j-tech

Cheers

@ loco do you have the basic air can service kit. Your website is only showing the full kit
