    Had a tiagra running on a 11-32,
    Got dura ace running on 11-28 currently, on a 1×9 setup with a 34 upfront shifted by xtr, works fine.
    I’d say probably not though, 34 is a big cog for a titchy roadie mech.

    “finally a helmet to match your $4000 full susser”

    I just got some cheap tacx ones from me mate at the lbs, cost me a couple of pints in return if I remember correctly. Had the lower one sieze on me last week though but nothing a strip and regrease didn’t fix…

    Mk2 with the split guide integrated into a seat post clamp would be great, and would probably justify a decent pricepoint.

    Baggies over lycra, been loving the thermal bib-longs over winter, could anyone reccomend some nice, sensibly priced bib shorts to continue the comfort through summer?

    I’m currently running en521s on pro2s, couple of years abuse on my hardtail and I’ve got no complaints, they’ve been trued but that would be more to do my rookie wheelbuilding skills than bashment.

    When did it become a television channel or celebrity’s place to attempt to rectify failings in our education system?
    This sort of “crusade for good” television is more than questionable.

    Decent kit from just over the hills from me, used to come from the factory opposite the one my uncle works at, (also involved in machining bits of metal but this time for aeroplanes)….
    I’ve used the old style m4s for years with no complaints, had an old xc rear hub thats currently waiting for a new free-hub to be fit (pawls went after 3-4 years) got pro2 hubs front and back and also use a hope headset and bb… oh and skewers and seat-clamp.

    keep your money in british engineering.

    Just got a desire HD, nice phone but the battery life is a bit short, it’s not as nicely packaged as the iphone but functionality wise it’s great, it doesn’t seem to get on well with my imac at home, but that could be something to do with the legal action between the two companies…

    EDIT- have we had “charles bronson was asked why he didn’t use an iphone… he replied- it’s the same reason i don’t use tampons”

    Don’t blame ya for not wanting to shell out £80 on gore fella, i’m running it on a 1×9 set up so the outlay was just silly rather than plain lunacy. I was gonna add just pop down to your lbs, buy the outer off the roll and they”ll probably throw in the noodles for nowt if you’re nice to my original post, but i thought we were going down the performance before cost road…..
    The xtr ferrules and cable are nice too though, used them for a bit….

    this **** is what’s ruining what used to be a good forum.

    B. and get over it… if you don’t like it, go waste your life on mtbr or bike radar chatting about new rockshox or whatever instead.

    Nah you have to buy gore as a kit, the cables are coated and they come with a sleeve that they run in, they can be a bit faffy to set up and you only get enough in one set to do one full run of outer if you’re running full outers, but once fitted they are smoooooooooooooooooooth for years.
    Verdict, Pricey, a faff but fully worth it!

    Saint, XTR, Dura-ace, Thomson, Hope, Mavic. Pretty Bling for a pig, especially now with the brass-coated connex chain.

    However it’s offset by the ragged saddle, and scratched up reservoir caps, gotta stop throwing it down hillsides…

    dirty is that a medium or short dura-ace?
    I use a short cage dura ace (recommended up to 27t by the big S) with standard jockey wheels and can only just squeeze a 11-28 slx in there.

    short no, medium maybe, depends on the mech…..

    Changing Optimus Prime’s vehicle mode form from a cab-over to a conventional style truck.
    It genuinely upset me.
    They shouldn’t be allowed to sully peoples childhood icons like that.

    popped a new slx on my pro II the other day, it was starting to get chewed up a little by the sram one that was on prior….. nothing like that epic gouging though!
    ah.. all this will be irrelevant when we all get those cool looking cassette freehub combination jobs they’re making..

    Also I wish that the cogs were replaceable as its always one or 2 that get pounded

    you CAN buy replacement xt sprockets…..

    EDIT- if anyone knows if where you can get hold of slx replacement sprockets hook a brother up…. (i’ve got a mint one with three mangled bottom cogs)
