its early this year for a Carbon bike debate… best to get it out of the way early though.

sounds a bit scouse..

where pook ?

Cheers Rob.

Crikey… there is one thing I have found… Venture feature highly in opinions across the internet.

Will (try) to walk in and walk out with just the frebie and then go do a good shoot with an independent photographer.
Thanks for all the feedback, just wish I’d helped the Mrs choose the present in the run up to Xmas.

mmmm, sounds like its a nice first day then emotional blackmail when we go back for the grand “viewing”…

Are they some sort of status symbol for the Audi crowd ?

many thanks all.
There used to be a handy place in the Sram Techdocs where they were all listed but I can’t find it now.

The difference is the angle the picture was taken from? They are different uppers so the new ones by definition are different to the old ones…

3/10 Butlins for you

and theres nowt wrong with Ikea for cheep sofas

washing machine !!! bugger.. I’ve been putting my clothes in there to dry + warm the garage up when working on my bikes.

What year do you have Northwind ?
Im just trying to work out if they are 2012 uppers or older ??? also, i’ve had mine reduced to 160mm, with the option of going back to 170mm uppers but if there very old uppers, they wouldnt go back to 170mm if I wanted.
So, basically, the question is, are they the same as current 170mm uppers for Lyrik Solo airs ? my originals had two scales on for 160mm setting and 170mm setting, these dont.

There is no such thing as ‘best’…(unless you are 8 years old)

Yes there is… Simon (aged 8 )

crikey, scary, glad he was OK.

got you, cheers

thats true, there is not a breath of wind

Don’t think so Rob, now got xmas familey stuff to do.. I can do (be dragged out) sunday..

Cheers, thanks all.
Wonder about Lyriks, I’ve got mine dropped to 160, from 170.. wonder if they go lower.

si cant help, will try debut nowt listed on there web shop under spares. will email them, ta

whos loco.. also intrested in same upgrade. I worked out a 400lb spring in Ti saves 200g.

The council dont grit or plough Rushup Edge, Mam Nick or Winnats as a priority. Makes driving a little hairy.

Except they were up there at 4pm gritting as I was driving home, that said.. it had turned to ice, there was a que of 30 cars at the top of winnats not going down it… so I turned around and headed to Sparowpit / Brough to get back to Sheffield from Furness.
All fun.
Its been strange this week.. a bit of snow around Ladybower / Winhill etc.. but then the top of mamtor / rushups really got hit hard. Tuesday it was raning in Castleton.. then head up Winnats and by the top there was 2″ on the ground.

on of thems,

Looks very lean for the travel… classic looking.

spot on, cheers.

I think thats the point… there isnt a need to justify it.. you simply cant !
(I’m 40 btw…..)

Mrblobby

only other point I can think of, There is no down tube protector like on the Nomad C.. So worth getting either Helitape or simular protection on it.. if you ride rockier places.

Im hoping these french guys do one soon,

I put this on mine from Lizard Skins.

had it since August. I think at 130 it will climb a little better, not that it isnt good at 140. I run Revs lowered from 150 to 140, ride mostly around the Peak.. so 140 makes sense on some of the rockier bits.

Where do you ride ?

Certainly a TRc, I have one the same. I run mine with a 140 fork and a shorter Stem (50mm)… lots of fun.

almost an inch at top of Rushups edge, most the Peaks in the Peak are all convered.. very wet snow though.

All round, 60a.. I’m Steve Peat and god like on a bike = ST

Think i’m feeling the pinch more now that I’ve got two sprogs and my Mrs only works 2 days a week compared to 2006 !

hope everything goes well, from a fellow Stanningtoner
