Oh rite sound. Thanks

Ok what does gs mean then

Hijack. Sorry. Would this mean I could change my long cafe to a short 1 on my slx+. Now I’ve changed to 1×10

Mackem I will take that bash off u if it is suitable for 36t

What about the cassette an mech ok degreasing them as jockey wheels tend to get well gunked up

Have seen some spray on chain cleaner like foam any 1 used them. But think maybe split link an degreaser is good idea

All is brand new and was only a dusty ride out. I guess taking it all apart an a bit of lube it is then

I doubt I could leave them with paddling pool. I think my kitchen may get flooded

That doesn’t sound a bad idea. Just thought about hiring a air con unit for few days

Don’t know if that will last 4 hours though or will it. As they are all big labs.

Ha ha. How long will the £9 offer be on the table. Yes I think I will keep at it see how it goes. Any ideas on how much frame would be worth including shock. Frame in ok condition no play in anything

I did think that but then the market value bit threw me. As most people you tell you have a lapierre they pull a face at it

That’s a choice the finding a swap.

thestabiliser- what makes it a terrible bike in your eyes

And I basically ride local trails( Kinver or wyre forest) or Cannock. So mainly single track and I do prefer fast descents compared to climbing

No I’m not goin to be keepin hard tail so yes “do it all”. Yeah I suppose I should give it a chance. But since I got it I’ve been thinking it maybe too much it was hard to say no at price though. I suppose going for a better fork maybe be first stop as got basic domains so not much adjustment

Forgot to say I’ve been riding hard tail previously and got offered this frame at a good price that’s why I’ve built it without knowing what they are like.

What is the reasoning with avids then. Sounds like new deore it is then

Well I bought slx 10 speed shifter and slx shadow plus rear mech. Inc postage £55. Can’t even get a mech for that in uk

That is quick. Great. Some really good deals too. How come uk company’s are so expensive in comparison

Ha ha thanks for the canal advice stealthcat

Yes I had never even considered rock gardens or anything like that. That may cause issues when a quick dab is needed

That’s it then ill try to borrow some an give it a whirl. I can see me having some awkward moments outside pub and forgetting but I don’t mind being laughed at

I’m guessing there more efficient as u can pull as well as push on your peddle stroke

I can imagine in clipping at technical sections must be hard. Not hard to unclip but to try to ride unclipped or is it easy to ride not clipped in

As in using my legs to as a balancing aid when slightly out of control. Worried that being clipped in will restrict this a have me off or do the opposite an tidy my riding up

I’m more worried about flinging my legs around to try an stay on the bike on descents to be honest. Or is that something you shouldn’t be doing anyway

That 1 won’t work in my opinion as you will still have your front mech. And that one is to kind of take the place of front mech

Cracking pub and camping pods. Food has been excellent both times I’ve been and very accommodating for 14 of us on a stag do drinking till late into night. Enjoy

Give me a text an we can sort details out then

Cheers
Rich

Decent cond. if so deal. Where bouts are u. Give me a text if easier. 07792746018

1 1/8 steerer. How long an what travel.

Ok thanks. Mind you the DH track wouldn’t run smoothly with me on it I don’t think

Are they a nightmare for repair and parts. I suppose I’d regret buyin anythin that is knackered though

oh rite any hints on where the new trails are then.

Ok thanks. So as I’ve only got few hours Saturday it probably not best idea to go and get lost then. Maybe just kinver this week then

yeah most reviews I found include people getting quite lost. So im guessing its not a setup like Cannock in that sense then.

Ok thanks. Only reason I wanted lockout is thought climbing may suffer with that much travel. But I don’t know that it would just guessing really

So I do really need to go 160mm then

Well I’m moving to a lapierre spicy soon so hopefully can get by till then an have chain guide on that. Is it the front mech that makes the difference of the chain not jumping off then. Also if I’ve got 36t on front do I have to have a 40t bash or 1 same as the ring

Oh ok. The slx crankset has a 36t so ill give it ago then see how I get on then
