    No I except the blame but I do think Carbon is too fragile for the bar application

    Its called hindsight I guess

    What I am saying is please please check your bars I would hate to see anyone hurt

    It will not happen again because I will suffer the extra 50g and use aluminum

    Shame that there was no sign of damage on the bars till it was too late and it broke and yes I do look after my kit ask Knottie

    Good job I was not playing in the Coombes when it happened

    Try this linky thingy

    The bars were easton monkey lite xc bars and they were definatly carbon replaced with EA 70’s

    I do not tighten anything till I have white knuckles but I did damage the bars (far too easy) on checking afterwards but when they failed there was no warning

    ok
    shame you bought a expensive low output light unit though, that is why you want to upgrade it I presume

    Ebay could be your friend and get shot of it 😉

    Where are you going to in the Dordogne??

    Yes there are loads, you will drive past loads just look out for a small red sign with a red triangle and 2 red dots on it

    Or get a IGN map of the area you are in and make your own France is VERY bike friendly

    Speaking as a owner of 2 retrevers I would like to comment as a dog owner

    “ALL DOG OWNERS SHOULD BE PROSICUTED if they do not clean up the dog eggs”

    I feel the same as you

    But do not leave the bags on the windscreens but smeer it onto the door handles instead

    Ukip are xenophobes at best but racists in reality. The whole premise of both parties is hating foreigners and don’t be fooled that it is anything else

    Why do I feel sleepy??????

    Could it be the pressure selling from the er Greens

    tell me was the SNP not formed because they are pro Scotland and potentially racist against the english????

    And Maybe just maybe the BNP has been formed because they are pro British

    Just a thought

    hey lads lighten up a bit

    My Picasso give 90 bhp yea right, it may well do on a perfect engine but not a mass produced engine with the production tolerance. Get my point

    The Lupine tesla has a output of 700 lumin with the P7 emitter so that maybe 🙄 more accurate

    I have done a Lux (not this lumin guessing bollucks) test of my P7 torch and it was alot read 2x the output of my Hid.

    I will be ordering a £53 P7 unit from deal extreme fug all to loose

    Perhaps I should also admit to having the trailer OVERLOADED 🙄 with logs which would not help much

    saladdodger
    Free Member

    I can see that

    I use a BOB type trailer and if you tend to move the bike from side to side when riding as I do I can feel the trailer sort of twisting the back end of my HT (end result my backwheel fell apart because I did not tension the spokes enough yep nobber 😳 )
    on the full sus it would put pressure on the pivots in the wrong direction to what the suspension is designed for as in up and down motion not side to side

    I have had both EBB and track ends

    The EBB is reliable and quiet (honest) and you can drop the wheel easy

    Track ends are a pain in the arse when you have to take the wheel out

    Whyte have the bestest setup I agree with dibbs 😳
