it is a really simple job and a pleasure to do, no more than an hour tops for the first time.

Bookmarked for future use

Yeah, though you was talking about Kinver, don’t think it would have the capacity for mountain mayhem.

Use it as an excuse to go 1x 9/10.

It should be fine though with a bit of tweaking of the front mech.

There’s a country park I took the kids to many years ago, can’t remember it’s name, but it was west of Birmingham and had a load of sandstone caves – would fit the bill (from memory) as a place with hills, well drained, and rocky stuff.

Living in Birmingham, I would like to know hat country park your talking about, sounds interesting. Only place with sandstone caves sound like Kinver

Tragic, something monumental needs to be done by the government.

Only showing the 500 with HRM and cadence bundle on mine for £179 so assuming they have sold out.

And how are Evans responsible for this?

I’ve got the Zee rear Mech (11-36 wide ratio) from JE James cycles, Zee shifter (from Merlin Cyles). XT 11-36 cassette and some KMC chain (cant remember the model) plus the superstar BB mount guide.

No problems with the guide, back plate seems to be plenty strong enough, cant see how i would bend it and it keeps the chain on fine.

soak it over night in oil/light lubricant?

Heat it up?

definitely removed the Cassette lock ring? Never had any of mine stuck before.

My Xt775 developed a seal leak too, they are currently in the spares box so will be very much interest in finding a seal that fits to repair them.

How about a pic of art for next week

Had a hard but very fun 8 mile commute via the canal in deep snow today, love every minute of it. will be riding over the Malvern Hills tomorrow.

Commute on the way to work, snow was very much deeper on the way back, in Brum.

Run 1 x 10 with 32 upfront and 11 – 36 out back, so far I love but haven’t ridden any where with Monster climbs yet.

Might need a medium cage for running two rings up front, to take up the chain slack when in the granny.

At what temperature does the fluid in hydraulic brakes freeze?
Somewhere around -50C

you should be more worried about what temp do calliper seals fail. only happened to me once but I’m still angry about it
oh and back on topic: maybe

Shimano by any chance

as above, your either typing the wrong password or your looking at the bios not windows screen.

Jumpers on the mother board or reinstall the OS

Enjoyed a crisp 8mile commute home via the canal

Never rode anything other than 175mm

New chain rings, best to let everything age together

see, Bombers it is then.

make them big enough and you can ride through them.

Why do we/you need to know the temperature whilst riding?

In, will take my camera out with me tomorrow.

Need to stock up, only got spare gear cable, bars, post, rotors.

Need some pads, chain, BB, tyres, brake pads,

Run a top chain guide (superstar guide) and zee rear mech, silent and no chain drop.

I had this on my C456 with new chain rings too, shortened the chain and problem was fixed.

you can try this £10 of £75 spend.

NEBHH1YA

may still be in date.

Some Cannondale shorts bought in 2003/4, still going strong despite being worn 5 times a week.

Shorter chain ring bolts, chain guide.

Whats your budget? i’ll point you in the direction of a good build.

big ring to big ring plus 2 links

why would you throw a ball whilst dis-orientated?

Sighs at lack of elementry physics, wood is generally less dense than bricks that’s why it floats, some woods do not float.

When something like a log of wood is put into water, it pushes down on the water and the water moves aside to make room for the object. When there is enough water to push back up against the object with the same force as the object is pushing down, then the object will float!

That’s why a piece of wood that is lightweight for its size will float in a big body of water, like the ocean or a river. However, that same piece of wood might not float in a different smaller body of water.

Wishes it was back at Sandwell, could cycle home afterwards.

Hope, I’ve had too many leaking calipers from shimano.

order dispatched today, yes i read the whole thread, also read online that it can take 3-5 days for delivery, was just hoping they would be here by the weekend.

Only rang to check my order was successful as i received very little information by way of email with regards to my order and with the code error not sure if it was being honored.
