    The dog was out of control and baring it's teeth!

    My dog has chased people in the past and most people freeze up. Some people kick out. Whatever… it's my job as an owner to keep my dog under control.

    DMR Chaincage is more adjustable than the MRP or E13 offerings!
    Cheaper too, here.

    Yes they are! I was using Kona P2's and Pace RC31's before I bought Exotic's and you can instantly feel how much more comfy the Exotic forks are 🙂
    Easily the best rigid forks I've owned.

    Been using some for nearly 3 years and they perform excellent on road / trails.
    No probs recommending them..!

    This shop is selling shimano sm-bh59 hose. Apparently it can be used for Deore M525 & Deore LX M585 XT M770!

    Google shimano sm-bh59

    Agree with the hairdryer method. I use T-cut to remove the sticky residue though!

    I wouldn't go shorter at the same time. Try a lower stem first and see how that feels.

    Bar ends are usually fitted onto mountain bikes with straight handlebars. They allow the rider to vary the type of grip and posture that they use during a ride. They are especially effective when climbing out of the saddle, because they increase leverage. Bar ends can also improve comfort for the rider due to the neutral position of the hands (palms inward) which places marginally less stress upon the musculature, and by providing more than one place to rest hands on a long journey.

    Gotta be Thomson! One of the best decisions I ever made was to buy one.

    Yup! They're all pretty much a standard fit.

    Don't use the KCNC wheels on the top (guide pulley) though. They don't have any side to side movement, which is why I only replaced the tension pulley with a KCNC one!

    Hehe. Maybe I should? Luck's got to change sometime!

    My mrs took my 2 year old son and ran off with my boss. I lost her, my kid, my job and my home. Feeling better yet? 🙂

    I noticed the same thing on my bike a couple of years back. Stuck a kcnc jockey wheel on the bottom and not had any probs since!

    I had my eyes on these for a while. They remind me of 24 Bicycles Butterfly pedals that I had on a bike that got nicked.

    njee20 – The eye rolling was at my own crap joke! I was referring to the use of alu for limbs etc, hence the "lose weight" bit.
    Taxi for me…

    Might be better to buy a cheap set of lock on grips and use the clamps?!!
    Seen these on ebay!

    Perhaps use aluminium if you wanna lose some weight? 🙄

    "Titanium screws, they are for holding teeth implants in arn't they?"

    I have them too 🙂 I had crowns fitted when I knocked my front 2 teeth out.

    I spent around £90 on ti bolts (including chainring bolts).
    My main reason for choosing ti was because they don't rust like many of the old bolts had. Any weight saving is just a bonus!
    I've only had issues with 2 bolts rounding off. They were ODI lock on bolts from tibolts.
    Yeah ti is costly, but it'll outlive most other parts on your bike!

    For the brake and gear levers, I use alu bolts. Ti bolts for everything else.
    Got mine from this guy on ebay. If you buy in bulk and pay directly through paypal, he usually does them cheaper too.
    I wouldn't recommend buying them from Tibolts.co.uk, the quality is inferior in comparison.
    Hope this helps…

    Just wondering… will I have to change the 13t sprocket for a 12 too? Or will it all work fine if I only change the 12t for an 11t?

    It depends on what hub / rim you're planning to use!
