Think you will have trouble tbh, the pitch has a very bent seat tube near where you would mount mech

I straightened mine about 4 month ago been fine ever since

Im sure you will get on well with them, my 55s are very nice forks, enjoy! :wink:

Ah didnt realise that they changed the travel.
I was tempted by the good price on the 2009 55 rc3 which i bought and to be fair they changed for the 2010 version after the 3rd time return, if i didnt have a spare fork at the time i would of been without a bike for 12 weeks which could of been a pain in the backside.
As rockthreegozy has mentioned they may be a cheap way to get a new set if they are coming with warrenty, but if it was me i wouldn’t bother, way too much hassle!
Hope this helps!

edit:
If its more travel what about these, not much more than you were gonna pay from your lbs.

couger is correct its a sonic bomb for an alarm

yes because pre 2010 bombers are useless, nothing to do with the rc3 bit.
The previous owner probably refused to have them back.
The 2009 forks i bought were with windwave 12 weeks out of 16 weeks of me owning them, sent back 3 times before they changed them.
If you do buy them make sure you have a spare fork :wink:

Although these ones are cheaper than £585 you have seen, same fork as the 2011

Yes stick with the rc3ti’s! the others will be utter garbage ime

Very bad ime, wouldnt bother.
The man i spoke to on the phone was male chicken

+1 zocchi rc3 ti’s

Maybe try these, they dont look as harsh as chains. can use them on any sized wheel as well which may be handy.

What chris said ^^^ xbox for sure if your going online more, much bigger gaming community, yeah you pay for it but its better.

Time for new wiper seal me thinks? 8O

Put it down your top when not in use or blow the water back into the bladder

Aye screwed mate! another weekend of no bike, not driving 35 mile to walk bike through snow again :lol:

Thank you, maybe just give it a miss then :?

Thanks jonb!

Anyone been today?

Wouldnt use pva, many plasterers advise this and its bad advice imho.
Pva forms a skin on the surface of the plaster just like it does on your fingers-skin this then can peel off when you get a build up of paint in the future.
A mist coat of the colour paint your going to use is the correct procedure.

op states bare plaster walls, i take it the paint come off in sheets leaving the plaster free from all paint, in which case shouldnt need lined.
But yes i agree if theres traces of paint left it will look bloody awfull without lining.

Sealing the plaster with thinned emulsion is for the paint to adhere, not to help coverage.
No need for lining paper if the plaster is clean

I use the isopropyl alchohol i use for the bike with a soft cloth

As per teef’s advice, the emulsion needs to penetrate the porous plaster,
instead of lying on the top

stans flow

laughing out loud @ sc-xc

No mate i’ve not been out for 3 weeks now, was hoping to get out this weekend but looking doubtfull innit?
Unless of course you know somewhere thats possible at the moment?

@carl, your wifes worst nightmare, especially with that baby on the way :lol:

Where abouts in town is this?

edit: a google search shows there is one in north shields as well, are they any good?

I wouldnt go near the place for a while, if it doesnt warm up a little the snow that fell in these parts will be here for ages :roll:
There is way more snow than there was in jan and that took quite a while too shift

Be carefull with size! they are quite big ime, the large is pretty LARGE

The pitch is the same from 2008 onwards, just a few parts changed here and there. Was given 10 out of 10 from the mags in 2008.
I love mine, couldnt think of anything i would change it for.
Used for all day rides as well as playing about on.

As khani says its 200 i2i and 57 stroke

As above, i use a rogue on short rides, the pump goes in the mesh bit.
Although it looks like it might fall out it never has.

I love my gore phantom, great all year round with use of baselayer when needed.
Only downfall is its near impossible to fasten the sleeves back on yourself unless you remove the jacket

very good but would consider john lewis 1st to get there 5 year warranty, they also price match

pitch? bit more travel than you asked for but climbs well imo

Got it on iplayer, outstanding! thanks rewski :D

@ goodgrief, would a little air, say couple psi in the right leg not help you there?
