TJ – I know (I’ve seen your work on that other thread – it’s you alright!) :wink:

you should pm thenewhoops and tell them to eff off* – then daily escalations until you track them down & kill them

*(like wot somebody didn’t do to ton the other day)**

**is he still alive ?

generally a subscriber to stw (just lapsed I think)
why ? it’s an easy christmas present from my mum/wife (no, she doesn’t fulfil both roles) and a little bit of return for providing this place

(yes, sfb, I know – they should pay us !)

TJ – you’re not even the real TJ any more. Everyone knows that.

Shame when that happens – didn’t something similar happen with the 2 Simon Barnes’ last time we all re-registered

BAD form if they knew your name previously existed though, hoops

glenh – I thought people hated the air ones ?

I got a frame with the coil version on it. That nice Mr Flooks swapped a seal on warranty after he saw the bike in the back of my car and then twiddled my knobs a bit. Since then, apart from bumping up rebound a little bit, I’ve not touched it (about 3yrs I guess)

aaaarrrggghhhhh ! :wink:

WTF is SPV

(goes off to look for 5th element instruction book)

I notice that what’s become the fredthread on road bikes has “opinionated claptrap” as a tag

Any chance that could be made a default for all threads ?

456s seem to have quite a short head tube (only ever seen pics)

in addition to a shorter fork, maybe your hands are lower by enough for it to feel different?

I put a tag on one of mine today – hoped it might increase response :shame:

seems you need several threads before any tag actually turns up on that display :(

As I (mis?) understand it, the BoE cttee has one task (maintain inflation below the chancellor’s target – and maybe above “something” ?) and has been given only one tool to achieve this.

As a result, it’s hard for them not to take a simplistic view – no ?

You do realise that Pro Pedal only works on the initial 1st mm or so of shock movement?

compression threshold (assume that’s what propedal is)

still don’t know if this is true – some stuff from google suggests that Fox’s (ie “real” trademarked) propedal is low speed compression damping – does that mean it’s active throughout the stroke?
(fox’s site doesn’t readily offer answers)

rockshox forks (& shocks?) have that floodgate, which I believe to be a real on/off threshold adjuster (though someone on the old forum suggested it could be run part-on with more subtle effects)

5th element shocks are supposedly “position sensitive” (rather than speed sensitive) and I have mine both on “plush”, which should exaggerate bob on a 7 inch SP, but it’s fine generally

marz forks have high & low speed circuits but I’ve no idea actually how they interact

could a grown-up perhaps educate us (me) on differences between brands ??

“Perhaps Dave is an admin ?”

who, “dave – moderator” ?

Surely the PP holds the bike higher in it’s travel? When setting sag, if I put PP on it stops it reaching 25% when I set it up to reach that when open. If it hinders the bike sitting in it’s sag how can it sit lower in it’s travel?

I agree with you
What I was babbling about was the possible effect of running more rebound damping, not increasing propedal for more compression threshold (assume that’s what propedal is)

Isn’t ‘holding the bike a bit lower in it’s travel’ packing down then?

yes, but it’s not necessarily an OBVIOUS packing down PROBLEM (such as loss of bump absorption, bottoming out etc)

Pro Pedal can also improve a bike’s handling

yeh, suppose so. I seem to run rebound a bit slower than most – perhaps that’s me stopping wallow as well but from the other side
Never had obvious packing down problems but (more bullshit alert!) maybe it holds the bike a bit lower in its travel for a given spring rate?

Think my trouble is I never ride enough to see effects of making changes as I’ve usually forgotten the last ride

bah, d’oh, and curses !

Still no bids *bump

“The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale”

????

had some when I used to commute on road wheels. Useless IMHO in high pressure tyres; the slime just blew out of any small hole.

also, tended to get a bit spurting through the presta valve when loosenig before attaching a pump (unless you remember to leave wheel with the valve upwards for a time before doing it)

may well be better in mtb tyres

oooh, bikey – are you suggesting win:win, output AND fragrance ?

ambassador, you’re spoiling us !

Staple diet in Scotland and look how great the life expectancy is…..

can you deep-fry it ?

Might up the output of your farts a bit, possibly lessening their “impact” along the way. Not sure about good/bad in this

what about **** ?

Thought so [;)]

have all the old daft ones come back as well? :

what tyres for football TT

Thoght not :winkythingy:

re-edit: rong ! thort not
:hi-fred:

as ^ they (mostly) said, depends on the frame.

I’ve ridden 7 inch travel single pivot with a 5th element – pedals very well if you sit down (does kick back a bit in granny gear though)

spesh enduro (about 2005 maybe. 5 inch or so ?) – bobby as hell without the lockout (didn’t have any intermediate setting)

trance 2007 with no propedal etc (is that right? – fox float). Don’t see “any” movement on pedalling when seated & can honk pretty well too

I don’t think you’re iller than an average sedentarytfatbastardwithkids like me

Suppose you may notice it more as I’d have to be pretty poorly to notice a downturn in my ability to eat crap & watch tv

take a rest, have some chocs. I do

thanks njee

PK-R, sigmasport ain’t selling what I’m after so that’s a no-go

is there anything “wrong” with ’em, or just that you prefer ssport ?

(pm me with comments if you prefer)

anyone else?

they call their wheelsets “arses” ?

paging threads aren’t allowed

and i’m busy

what did you want, IHN ?

morning !

just refloating this from last night, to see if the day-shift has an answer

Presume you’ve tried turning it on and off.

also sometimes fixes it if you unplug the speakers, reboot & then reattach them

3 days

prior to that, 4-5 wks

no good reason

“cracking” – do you work in marketing ??

mate of mine has signed up for 2011 – silly bastid

you been smoking crack in the shed & some’s got into the works ?

(so, it’s gone from “bit too slow plus constant” to “bit faster & nearly constant” ? – you should sell this as a modification, like Mr Push and his shocks)

Well,

(NB – I am barely a cyclist, let alone a seasoned roadie):

they look like the bulge in the “bendy bit” is intended to fit your palm properly (is that why “ergonomic”?)

For me to ride with my hands on that bit I’ve a feeling that I’d need to rotate the bars down a bit compared to yer classic style

so, err, maybe try that ?

:talksbollocks:

Mr Smith

My winter bike is a Zaskar LE – “bit” like that one at the top

LOL

it skidded a tiny bit…I just left it a bit too late

Yeh, that’d be pretty scary
I revise my previous suggestion:

… discs, adjustable seatposts and ABS

and armour, maybe

well, if he ain’t going to man up I figured he could lady up

sorry, no – it’s MTFU over here

(or buy some nail varnish)

I don’t care on the forums but would prefer too see who started classifieds threads

or both ? I don’t really feel a need for the freshness column & would happily swap it for “originator”

nope
