I'm amazed at how many people on here who "know all" about bikes whine on about the service they get in Evans, If you know better:

A: Buy it online
B: Go in the shop and ask for the item rather than asking advice of some kid then moaning about his shit advice
C: Go somewhere else there are plenty of other shops.

Depends weither it is in stock at their warehouse or a store. If its coming from a store it will take atleast a week to get back to warehouse and then sent out.

I think we should ban anyone who rides a bike from trail centres. They only causes upset and drama.

I can't find the damn thing or where i can buy one.

Thought it might "be right" because of the locating pin on the pistons and the fact the pads can't slide out with rotor in.

Raddogair – its nothing to with chainring size its the BCD, bolt mountings are the problem they foul on the BB.

Sam What frame did you use the 105 on? Its one of your swifts that i'm playing with.
Think i'm just going to with a chain tensioner.

I'll be running single speed. I need a chainset with large BCD to stop fouling on my trick stuff bb

Go try some on, everyones bodies are differnent and one will be far more comfortable on you than another and provide a better fit.

I really like the veggie knee, and have had some good raceface pads.

I really like that,

My singular turned up this week too 😆

I'll be up for it, Would need to stay somewhere as i'm heading down from Yorkshire so Bunkhouse sounds good, A lad I ride with be heading down too.

Zion?

York Ring road is shocking I work in Thirsk 23 miles away and the journey must take nearly an hour, More than half of which is Acomb to Skelton which is 5-6 miles

Ah sorry martin was just going on what Mr Port said as he works there.

Hope it goes well, and you sort your traveling.

I must admid £30 seems about right, Because a bike couldn't be used because it had no rear wheel and probally a mechanic fitted it and sorted cassette and rotor.

They could have just said no, rent a bike.

Lesson learnt in checking bike over.

£9 a mag??

Think i'll stick with ST and the net.

Mr O, I will always take a bike ride through York over a Bus.

Hope you enjoy evans. Was a good laugh there.

cycle is 15 – 20mins i used to work there and rode from near the station. Bus is to pricy and not any quicker.

Tis quite a nice ride.

Took about a week for my Inbred frame to turn up.

Bought earlier this year.

margins on clothing are pants

What brands do you stock?

bits and bobsm pumps clothing are where they wll make the money.

Howdie

Come on ladies put your handbags down.

Don't know cheapest but i use the pauls one on my CX bike

Really good, Doubt you'll get chain tight enough

I ride dalby most weekends on my singlespeeds no problem.

There is only one climb you may struggle with and thats one on the black just before medusas drop.

Its a sad world when people complain a trail is to bumpy for their mountain bikes.

Same thing happened to me, a hacksaw through the bubble/buldge that the pin goes into and it dropped off.

Bob Jackson, Argos

A dummy run, And why not?

Would have saved a shit load of hassle

We have a body armour culprit up here in york too.

wonder what they think of the compulsory helmet law idea?

If you bought a condom, and it was to short. Would you go back to the shop and ask for a refund becuase its "not fit for purpose". Bollox it is fit for purpose just not for you. There are plenty of items that taken out of their packaging and used are not returnable.

Why did the OP not just wrap the tape without removing the sticking taping bit. Realise its to short and just send it back? I think its more a case that because it has been stuck to the bars it becomes used.

The tape would fit some bars just not the majority.

"not fit for purpose" is a phrase that is thrown about to much these days.

At the end of the day i really don't care and wonder why i bother typing some times. i just kind of have too. I do research into stuff I buy and where i buy them from.

I vote for Sherwood Pines to be next years venue. No hills there.

I put a snooker ball in mine and beat grannies over the head to steal their pension money.

I love thread like this, oftern makes me piss my pants, Keyboard warriors trying to take down a bike company.

I there a store out there that has not upset a customer??

At the end of the day it serves to OP right. Buys unbranded cheap bar tape from a discount online shop and expects it to be dogs bolloxs. You should have bought some better stuff and it would have saved all this. all for £3-4.

I'd def buy one if a uk company came up with one, and parts where easier to get hold of over here.

Ah right cheers Si,

I'd need the 21" if you could get a hold of one.

I'll prob give an email tomoro if i don't here back about the salsa.

Is this a sign not to buy a chumba then?

What extra does the £550 give you over an On One Scandal?

Pride 😆

They are a really nice ride, I'm debating weither to get the one9.

People asking me why i'm not out riding my bike.

muddy match aint to bad used that a while back,

Haven't had to make a warranty claim on what I got yet 😉

I will always wear a helmet, my kids and wife will always wear helmets and thats all that matters to me. So I don't really care what the law is.

At the end of the day a helmet is only there to make you look stupid.

Whens it going to open 😉
