or is that tyre available from one of the online places cheaper

[edit] they are slightly cheaper at mytyres.co.uk [/edit]

Bummer, but maybe that will give you time to make a more informed decision on Trouties lights and get you name on the list of thoes to trial the cutie (Darkness Dominator).

The one on my Ironhorse MkIII seems to be doing a grand job, looking like it could do with some new seals next service so may see if there is any upgrades that can be done then but been very happy with it so far.

Happy Birthday Bullheart

Hope you have a good one.

I wouldn’t and haven’t picked a tradesman because of his apperance, I don’t think having your comany logo on your shirt or jacket is necessery but i would expect someone to turn up in clean clothes witout holes ripped in them.

A clean well cared for van is something i look out for, not too fussed if it signed up or not. I do know of some people who use the magnetic signs and pop them on the van when on the job as it were to help generate buisness. In the past i have had neighbours come and ask me for details of a sparky i used because they saw his van outside my flat.

Hearts shore at night ?!?!? the force must be strong with you 😉

I have been running a nuke proof headset to allow the use of tapered forks in a 44mm headset – essentially the same as you will be doing witht he cane creek hedset. I have been using this all summer with no problems to report so far.

The set up will further lengthen the axle to crown lenght by about 10mm so will further slacken the front of the bike.

Have you seen the all new Darkness Dominator on Trouties site?

See thresd of riding trouts cutie for peoples reviews of the prototype for it.

This may change your mind on which one of his lights you want to go for.

Jamie,

What is the point in that? it doesn’t even have a hollogram or anything in it 😉

With light relecting off it i’m sure you could concieve it was silvery grey then when looked at flat on from behind it is a dark grey. Your story seems to tally as far as i can tell but i am no insurance expert. Good luck with the claim, don’t let them fob you off, as others have said seek profesional advice before replying.

by new shape i presume you mean like this

should give you some ideas of where to ride, there is a forum where you could see if anyone is around to show you about on the Thursday.

Pretty Girls Make Graves

The New Romance is a good album (by good i mean i like it 😉 ), saw them live when they relesed Elan Vital – not as good IMHO.

Yes and Yah

This was just posted up in another thread

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11453

could be a solution if the old tab can’t be fixed.

+1 on what Lethal D said, it looks lush.

Don’t know specifics about the seat tube or ISCG mounts, can’t seem to find any info on tinterweb.

Buy yourself some of these to measure the seat post diameter

Digital calipers are really useful for things like bolts, shock mounts and figuring out the size of bits and bobs if you can’t find the manufacturers specs.

ISCG mount thing you link to should provide you with the mounting points you require and possibly give you a better selection of chain guides to choose from. Although I believe you can get chain guides that mount to the BB in place of a spacer, just like the adapter. It may be easier to get a specific chain guide rather than an adapter then a guide.

It may be worth having a look at the Trek forum over on MTBR and asking there if you have no luck here.

Damn it, that’s the bike i had in the Hora sweep stake! Thats never going to come in now 😥 What happend the the love of your life the Transition Convert???

Is this an early birthday present to yourself?

I would expect the battery would come with a bag and charger, if not smudge at http://www.mtbbatteries.co.uk sells the exact ones you need.

Chris is really friendly and has put up with a number of daft questions from me relating to some DIY upgrade stuff he had done, asking about his main products will get the same enthusiatic responce i am sure.

I just replaced the jocky wheels on my Sram X9 derailer last week, ordered the BBB ones from dotbike ant they arrived the next day. Instructions tell you which bushes to use, the pack includes heaps for loads of different mechs. I think i used the H ones but just matched which looked right and then went back to the instructions for confirmation.

When you get them and look at the instructions the drip in between the bushes is OIL not super glue as i first thought (really glad went back to the site to check on that one).

Instead I thought just shorten the copper pipe and re-join with an isolation valve?

tis what i did, works a treat. Local isolation valves are great if you ever need to service anything past them – flexi and taps or if you change basin etc

Just remember to clean the copper pipe before putting a fitting onto it. by clean i mean remove any paint if it is painted or give it a bit of a rub down with wire wool if an older bare pipe. This will give a better seal with the compression fitting.

may i suggest you put a minimum of one roll of toilet paper in the fridge now 😉 just in case like.

My girlfriend just made me Svieckova – Slovac Beef brisket with dumplings in a vegetable sauce. Well Yummy it was too. Apple crumble on it’s way soon can’t wait.

no arms, shoulder to head. No need.

6 points again. AARGH so tight, don’t know wether to stand up or sit down.

Audi wheels are usually 5 x 112, have been for some time now oldest i know is a 1998 audi a3

In a normal week i’ll get through 5-10 units 4-5 bottles of beer.

If i go out with the boys that figure quickly goes out the window, especially when we get started in about the rum but that doesn’t happen so much these days maybe every other month.

In the interest of fairness as the convert had already been picked i’ll go for this instead

Trek Remedy

I’m going for one of these

Seems high to me, get a second quote.

would have thought £800ish

I know the cables are expensive, especially for 10mm stuff for the shower as it sounds like a long run.

price up the parts on Screwfix and that should give you an idea of what to expect.

That is propper rubbish, hope the bike is ok and more importantly you heal quickly*

*hang on this is STW did i get that the right way round 😉

completely different size?

Yes completly different size and not compatable with one another but the difference is only small.

An alternative to loctite could be different bearings.

I know for example the OD of a Hope bulb bearing is very slightly smaller than the OD of a pro 2 bearing (the ones that sit inside the rear hub shell), could a more suitable fix be trying to source a bearing with a slightly larger OD so that it fits without the use of retaining compounds?

This is presuming the frame is out of warantee.

Loctite 641 is green very strong loctite

my bad it is medium, got confused with 620 that is the strong stuff

Get some before you go, you won’t be wanting any for a while after 😉
