Good shout folks, sounds like it could be another tool for the box! I'll try the 'try before I buy method from the lbs'. Always good to support them. Just wanted to be sure before I open the hubs up.

Great to be back on. Lick the Tip had me in fits!!

Have you the wave spring washer installed, also worth looking to see if your fsa crank is compat with your fsa bb. Unlike shimano, fsa have incompatabilty accross their own range.

OP not using Hope and FSA.

Does your model have a crank bolt and pinch bolt set up on the FSA's?

+1 for Raquel

I'm not watching it honest!! Just like I dont like Eastenders but always manage to catch the last half hour :D

Pathetic. I'm going to leave a tape recorder playing tonight saying I can ride up that hill :lol:

Orange Crush (dont know about the C2W in depth financially) but know this is a worthy alternative to the 456!

I like the fence spikes!

Bike Bungee – See how far you can stretch them on yur bike!!

I'd rather spend the £20 and get the proper kit. Its your suspension and frame here. Save the few pounds elsewhere.

Result!! Thanks all :D

143mm from wiper to top of stanchion. The cable tie test shows travel to the stops at 135mm bizarre!!

Cheers rudedog, your floats being 140mm (sorry to state the obvious)?

Cheers Splash-man, just need to be sure as I say. I cant imagine ebay getting involved technically if I need to raise a not as described case.

BTW – can anybody tell me their A to C length of their 140 floats? Would help considerably!! :-)

Call SMB in Oxfordshire on 01993-842555 – They do every bearing and deliver same day, oh and they take paypal too so there's no need to register/swap credit card details etc.

YOU BEAUTY!! :lol:

Was able to do this before the changes on flickr, used to click show all sizes and simply cut and paste. Now its asking me to share file and grab the html code. Any help please?

Perfect, was also considering 819's. I ride heavy (more practice req'd) so was drawn to the Flows. Cheers.

oh dont you start grum :D

Genuine replies pls? I'm hearing great things about the Hope Hoops package but are they as good Mavic's factory wheels?

I'm just after some real advice as to which is the better value. No special wheels needed just listing more info to help gauge similar experiences. I really cant decide?

whats so difficult to understand?

I keep seeing an ebay business selling stumpjumper frames without shocks and rockers etc. I think they called totalfitness (do quick search for specialized and sort by distance). If you are in Bristol I think they're not too far. They may have some lying around as they seem to have all sort of stuff (guessing warranty returns)! Good luck.

Lorenzo's race. Would love to see Spies get on the podium! Will he be on a Factory Yam next year?

Well, there's always MotoGP on at ten on bbc2 which you can rely on. No team orders (no radio either).

Thanks all, excellent info!!

Easy Peezy – Two large 5" travel bikes in the back most weekends.

They're defo 960's. singlespeedstu what are those?? Cranks bought, I have a 102bcd ring but its a 32.

Cheers all, just didnt want to pay the money and see the seller laugh all the way to the bank!! They're not done by Jones but are done very well. I think I'll have em, dont think I would have the balls to take an angle grinder to a set of XTR's, let alone the hours of finishing. Lovely!

What hub and cassette are you using? And has the squeak only just started or been there from fitting?

foxyrider, worked a treat – Thank You!! This forums great :)

new style XT brakes are notorious for this, especially the rear brake. A few threads have been on here about the same issue. I had the same problem put persisted with the 'air in the system cause'. Eventually took the brake off and bled it with the hose vertical. Sorted now finally after about three attempts. Good luck, when they work you'll be well impressed!!

forgot to add, whats your email address. I have a new unused 31.6 post I can email you details on. cheers. (my email in my profile)

The three Attitudes I have owned have all had 31.6's. I've never known them to use any other diameter.

GWT what year and condition is your x?
