After a crackin ride this morning. I’m going to keep it, its an awesome bike to ride. I’ll probably keep it until I break it and buy a full sus next year when money isn’t so tight. Thanks for the opinions

Haha she doesn’t usually mind what I spend our money on. But she would have something to say if I spent 2k without talking about it.

I still love the bike but fancy going back to full sus. Still not 100% I know it will have dropped in value but it’s still a ti bike!

If I was only going to get £500 I wouldn’t bother. I paid £900 for the frame alone and everything else was brand new.

There is loads in your area. I live in kinross and ride with a few people some from the kinross cycle club. Give us a shout if u fancy meeting up for a ride.

I think its a great start. Its a bit long at 8mins and if it was me i would point the camera a little bit higher or mount it lower so to see more of the trail ahead.

Snap On are the best ive got. But Facom are great too.

Superstar for ss kit and tensioner cheap cheap.

Did you enjoy the route? Im local sorry ive only just read your post.

Thanks very much all.

Ah get it now. I was trying to keep the spring in place. I’ll have a go tonight. Thanks

How do u mod it to push up? I’ve had a good look at it but can’t see how to change what way it pushes.

I was really hoping not to have to use a front tensioner as I prefer the look. Bit sad I know.

I’ve tried to get it to work with the tensioner I’ve got but can’t get it to do what I need. Do u think the zinger tensioner would work?

Thanks for all the responces.
Ive had a look at it and im putting it down to the tensioner (superstar one that pushes the chain up) causing a lack of chain wrap. Does anyone know if the so called heavy duty tensioners on superstar will work?

Thanks ill get another look at it tomorrow night.

Its a push down tensioner. Does that mean i need to take more links out?

What does that mean? It feels like its jumping up and down a gear.

Thanks,
I realy like the white but thinkin of a baby blue. Hoping to get it done this week :0)

Show “Me” Sorry

Okdoky then. Any reason why?

The AA can sort you out these days.

Thanks for the advice. I’m only looking at the moment so will get a post up soon.

I did think that might be the case will have to find a somthing else. Thanks very much.

Oh meant to say that I’ve changed my hubs to superstar switch so the push threw should be ok.

Thanks for a decent answer meehaja.

Ive had plenty falls. I dont think having my legs shaved would be as easy as having a bath and cleaning the dirt out of my cuts with an scrubbing brush.

I agree with TandemJeremy!

WTF Mud sticking to your legs adds enuff weight to slow you down. Hold on ill get my Mrs lady shave the now! Whats the real reson?

What’s the actual reason for you to shave your legs?

The panel next to you window that says vtr is plastic, it just clips on and it is common for them to fall off under normal conditions. I worked for citroen for years and would not recommend using the rack as it is fitted. Roof bars are not to expensive or best of all take the wheels off and put it in the boot.

Thanks for the advice its a whole new world compared to mtb and it doesn’t help that im impatient. I do like the look of the giant! just hope the person will ship it.

That good! I don’t have a clue about road bikes. I’ve been looking 2nd hand for a while but most things that look good are just out of my reach. May be looking a while

I found that when i tried to bleed “by the book” it just wouldnt work! I worked out that when the pistons are fully pushed back the fluid would not enter the cylinder to push the piston. What i did was re fitted the pads and put it back on the mount over the disc. After a few pumps i found that i could bleed them on the bike no problem because the piston is pushed out a little. I also found that this gives a responsive lever than when they were brand new. If you try this tho you may want to fit some old pads in case you get fluid on them.

Good luck

Ill never give up the mtb just like a change now and then.

Ive totally enjoyed the roads so far, its nice to see thing i would normaly just drive past and not even blink at.

Thank i’ll keep my eyes open for somthing.

Oh and any suggestion would be good too.
