Thanks for the nudge

MOlegrips

I never spoke to orange personally I left warrentee issues to the dealers

🙄 sorry

funny old thing both dealers dropped orange due to bad back up service

Pace forks utter utter crap I foolishly had 3 sets

1 elastomer jobbies siezed up every ride
2&3 Rc 36 proclass2 and Rc 39’s needed too much maintenance to keep em working every 3 rides and strip down

Orange bikes

Clockwork now I loved that bike
P7 4 framesets returned in as many weeks the first bikes to be made with dropper seatposts
Sub5 the pivots should not rip out when riding up hill were orange interested NO

Positive shout

I do like my maverick SC32 forks brilliant design with constant wet stanction lubrication

Planet X On-One frames had 4 of em total and utter ace love em

I use 2bliss tyres on ghettoed on 717’s and stan stripped 719’s all inflated realy easy with a track pump

Litespeed Antares road bike (alloy/carbon job)
beautiful looking accelerated and climbed like a demon BUT put it fast into a corner and it felt like it was going to wash out all the time, horrible thing sold it

Now ride my Kaffenbak and pompino much better handleing infact nicer bikes

Give that man a job at the bikehut asap

YAHOO got a pass to play too

Yep been there to

I had a Sub5 which I broke got a trance but tbh niether suited my er style
I bought a Cotic simple and it rode better and almost smoother than either full sus.
Binned the trance for a 456 (alas I could not afford a soul)
Happy bunny now
For some reason alot of the Q’s locals are now back on hardtails

Ditto Adam

What do you use instead of the Carbonation tabs? cos they are not much cop.

2 tips

1 get the temperature right
2 Clean everything if in doubt clean again
3 RTFI

Coopers ginger beer is an ace kit to start with

I must be lacking on brakes
165f & 145r

very happy with the 145 rear but I am thinking of going up to 185 at the front

the first time you service them you will wonder why you ever contemplated paying someone to do it..

Agreed I do my Revs and Maverick forks piece of piss

I replaced the oil bath in my revs with float fluid it was too thick and the forks turned rigid

Replaced with the correct fork oil ( motorcycle) job done back to bouncyness

saladdoger, the Quantocks is pretty slippery at the moment due to the dusty trails, it’s best that you avoid it because we don’t want you falling off (again). Oh, hang on, it’s not just dusty trails that you fall off of

X

none at the mo if I do it is a ceramic Rado

Why cos I am worth it 😉

I went from 5″ to 4.5″ back to zero

Hard tial for me after getting a Cotic simple it feels almost as smooth but Hardtail suits my er style ( or lack of)

Both my hardtails have soft as in flexi seatposts

Thanks for the email but alas I will have to skip the offer because the cubical is a bit too big for the aera I have in mind

I was contemplating the Q’s but Les has tempted me to Dartmoor

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

details and dimensions for me to please

My mrs requires ( read WANTS ) a new bathroom

Ta

We have one of these

impressive bit of kit inflates in 5 easy minutes bloody good fun highly recommended,but alas the paddles are shit

We have used ours in france 2 up with our retrevier at the helm ace fun

yes that would be a better / nicer bet

Is there an uplift 😕

Have you heard of “pecking orders” they will scrap till they sort themself out mine did

Keep em seperate for a few days so they get used to the sight of each other and then let the fight begin

not yet but in 2 min utes I will be drinking homebrew wheat beer 😀

iirc that is a BT cable trunking I have fitted them before on new build houses

Where you get em from sorry dunno

Perhaps the best security is not to gob off about what you have in public

Yes its okay

But be careful in the winter because carbon fibre goes brittle in cold weather

If we bring lights does that mean saturday and sunday will become one long day??

I sold a trance and bought a 456 for £125 new that was a good move much prefer it to the trance in my case I find that it is no handicap than a full sus in any occasion

Got it thanks lads

Thanks lads but can you open the pdf file for servicing because I cannot

I now use a hope s/s hub on xc 717 rims
Shame that they weigh more than my old DMR hub with a white Industries freewheel on 717 rims 🙄

I have a spare White Industrys 16t freewheel spare yours £35

Na sorry TJ twas not me

HI I have had a bit of experiance of riding in the area because I have a place 10 miles from there.

In the village green opposite the Marie’s office there is a Randonne board with a few waymarked trails on it. Also close by ie less than 10 miles away is a lovely lake at St Mathieu again with a load of waymarked trails on it.

You could always make up your own routes if you want to borrow some ordanance survey (IGN french versions) of the area code numbers 1833e 1932o and 1832e

yes go to a motorbike dealers and use there fork oil shed loads cheaper
