Put the camera into servo mode so its constantly focusing on the rider and pan along with the rider in the viewfinder whilst firing the shutter. Use the camera in Program mode (P) so the ISO, shutter speed, apeture is handled by the camera if youre unfamiliar with using manual

Camelback Mule here, I think!! CRC are selling last years one off cheap

Could you have got past the wing mirror without much inconvenience to yourself? That includes hopping off the bike for 5 seconds and leaning away from the car, and then hopping back on?

If yes, then you should feel bad and should at least offer to make appropriate reparation. And perhaps have a think about the motivation behind the damage in the first place – how would you feel if it was your car, particularly at the moment when cash isn’t as readily available?

I didnt in the slightest, my sis has just had a sprog and the amount of cars who park like arses and she ends up having to push the baby along the road up here because she cant get past, I now couldnt give a toss the message will have got through and they wont park so close and leave such a small gap in future, Or at least i would hope the message had got through.

My car is never parked on a kerb as from my understanding that is illegal, Its either on my drive, at work or on the edge of a carpark away from other cars i also hate the trolley dints, I’m very particular where i park

I almost took the wingmirror of a clio off once similar situation 680mm bars wouldnt get through so how the **** a horse or buggy would, I clouted the wingmirror and it folded back on itself

thats the one

I seem to remember a thread not so long ago similar to this and i think the conclusion was to convert the hub to 10mm??? but i’m not sure if that was only hope hubs

finish lines teflon here cost about £5 i think and is a nice sized tub built two bikes with it and have hardly touched it 😆

I asked this question only last week so check my prev posts for some more answers if this thread ends up a bit thin, I went for the ones made by Raleigh or at least distributed by them named ‘outbound’

They are nice and comfy and give me more confidence as they dont budge at all and look pretty good too, they’re very similar to the ruffians

wrong post 😆

Never used them myslf but as far as i was aware they send then off to mojo

another one whos had no problems either longest somethings took to arrive was 2 days and that was a set of wheels i had built up. Wiggle and merlin are also at the top with me

Avid sintered here Original are organic

I use XM719s laced to PROII hubs theyre cheaper than your budget and strong, You could get the 819s which i guess would be an extra fiver on the rims which would allow you to go tubeless

STIFs only 5 mins down the road from EBC too, you could try them also

i camped at Kipford HP over the road from Dalbeattie did the 7 stanes and thought Kirroughtree came top spot then followed by Glentress, Dalbeattie, Ae, Mabie. Id like to have a trip to kielder next time i’m up there as icve heard its pretty good too

Dalby is also my Local but i find it quite boring i use it just to get out 😆

North face trail at grizedale is also good once you get about 30% the way in, I did this in a very cold (-6) Icy morning, mental dont think i’l go back up til its warmer the boards were rather slippy and the rocks werent good either but it aws a day out

I’l look out for your snowman with a Penis tomorrow 😆 if i can be arsed to get up early, Like to try out my new bars/grips and Computer so prob will end up there, Now to convince the missus 8)

I had an 07 stumpy comp, you can get them for under £700 now second hand i believe, for the money its a brilliant bike and can leave other riders on lighter better specced bikes behind, That was my fave thing about it, It zipps along like a loon

It’d leave you with £300 to spend on upgrades, which i would go with Wheels and crankset like i did, It made it so much better not having cranks that flexed and lighter wheels

I had problems with my current set on my last bike the brakes would always be shinging, but ive put that down to the old frame as my new build is silent as a mouse 😀

Occasionally i’l get the spongy lever if the bike been upside down and the brakes pumped to reset the caliper, but its nothing a few hours the bike the correct way up and a zip tie on the lever cant resolve

WD40 works but does work loose when wet, Some clear laquer will work if you have that also

The best bits farting while your both sat in bed watching TV/ reading a book then stuck her head under the covers mwahahhhhaaaahaaa 😆

Ive bought a few bikes and only my most recent is my own custom build

Ive had a Kona scab which was factory, then i added disks and suspension

Kona coiler again factory spec then i stuck some Mono m4s on it

07 Stumpy FSR was again factory then i specced it up planning for a custom build on a new frame in future

Then i bought a heckler frame off here, bought some new pikes and a few other new bits, stripped the stumpy and put a few nessecary parts on the heckler plus the new bits. After i’d build it it gave me a lovely feeling 😆 and i’m keeping it

Tried one on and it was lovely and comfy, looked good and came around my head niclely without looking bulky, But ive not ridden one.

Ive also asked the same question, so i’l be watching this too for replies

i recently managed to get some Coil Pike 426s the version i have are lighter than 454s apparantly dunno how true it is will only be a few grams either way for sub £300 BNIB and not off e-bay in the uk! from Je James, they took a while to be sent and they were last years ones

Buy a bottle of swarfega, works out cheaper than finish line because you get more for your money, Its water soluble and is stronger and IMO cleans parts up better

Coolness

Loved mine bought it cheap and sold it for lots somehow and it wasnt nicked 😆 It was great for chucking off things but the forks werent up to much

I did it in 2:15 with a stop for lunch on my old stumpy fsr wasnt really pushing it, Thrashing round= boring

Nice tower 😆

I think tontos second suggestion has the answer, I take it youve pushed the pistons fully in? If you have and they are protruding slightly theres too much fluid in them.

I had exactly the same prob with mine and was scratching my head as they came from the factory like it, dropped some fluid and it sorted it

Even though its not the best specced it does the job and i love it

Got to be fitting and removing tyres with wire beads, numb thumbs 🙁

Front mechs another of my least faves too, On the middle ring mine will either rub on the inside of the mech (so i turn the barrel adjuster to compensate) then when i drop down to the highest gear after that it catches on the outside of the mech 😈

I’d say no grease, i was under the inmpression you shouldnt grease bushes as it accelerates wear

Liking the hardtails 😀 thats what i was after but found the heckler 😆 amazing how you can be swayed

56k is for the few who still use a dial up connection warning them of the pics 😉

Tip top (REMA??) from Evans the mountainbike one it comes with tyre levers and a tyre patch too £3, chuffed with mine

Normally at the Trail centre, taking tights off changing tops always gets folk looking 8) its like theyve never seen anyone covered in mud before

Custard creams mmm, One of my faves but i cant find them anymore is pink wafers, Jammy dodgers were nice but overrated now 🙂

Ive just recenlty had to do the same with mine, the spring is a pain in the a**e it jumps off if youre not careful when putting the cover back on, thats the only real problem i had, the minor was the indicator which now doesnt read the correct gear but that doesnt matter IMO as Xos do without 🙂

Thumbs are for clits not shifters – Charlie

Gets my vote 😆

i used an angle grinder 😳

I stayed at Kipford holiday park for a wek in the tent. Dalbeatties over the road you can join it halfway round.

Kirroughtrees and Mabie are an hour away and Ae’s about 30mins

I think so, got it on the Doovde
