I just bought one from CRC for £35, and the ally spyder only holds the largest three cogs on it. The rest is a full steel cassette. Still feels a lot lighter than a deore steel cassette though.

the xt cassettes are 6 on the ally spider and 3 seperate ones

silver or black. think the colour finishing bits only work well with dull coloured frames blacks silvers etc.

double post

I paid £50 for a pair of the original mini's with rotors from the SDH classifieds just over a year ago , but sold the front only I already had for £56 on fleabay.

Brakes like this are becoming popular now for retro style builds

more of a crap description and rubbish photos

people not thinking and researching about what they are buying more like!

whats a VCR?

2.3 Continental verticals

£10 in Halfords.

End of thread.

hmmm at 730g a tyre thats heavy!

ive been using panaracing xc pros for a few years as i do a lot of road miles i find they have little resistance on the road and good and grippy off road.

ill be using slicks and conti speed kings this year see how they get on.

oh my £150+ and they cant put some decent seals on it. i guess they diddnt really test the product.

now this is a strong beer! made me piss everywhere!

if you want to be in a contract for 18-24 months go for it!

6 bottles of this stuff on the over night ferry to le mans made me very drunk!

ragley blue pig? inbetween the two

I find picking out the bits i want to eat, is a good way of doing it!

you get what you pay for!

had a race face lasted 1500 miles or so. on a hope one now its still only a few weeks old so i cant really comment on that altho its still ok after 2 weekend xc riding, and 9 days comuting. but i know that my lbs can replace the bearings. plus thay have plastic guard to keep most of the muck out.

google two seconds!

Good luck with it all missingfrontallobe. Chemo doesn't always mean you'll be sicker than a sick thing for the duration.
Kick its arse mate.

+1 all the best!

i had this problem with my old shifters!

you need slx xt or xtr with the 3 ataching holes to mount hangers. i guess yours are older than this.

like these remove the windows and the hangers. buy the hope shimano matchmakers(from crc) sweet un-cluttered handle bars! FTW

i spent about £180 on top of the x2s to get the shifting right!

ILast time I saw him, he was winning "Celebrity Big Brother" where he said that the prize money would "well sort me out".

Suppose it must have, then.

he bought a london taxi and put a nascar/big block engine with race box in it!

1466 miles since 1st Jan, including turbo trainer but that only accounts for 151, virtually all rest done off road and singlespeed.

over weekends? weeks? thats some going well done!

how portable? head phones? or small speakers etc?

i use my ipod, ive got an ipod radio remote that plugs into the bottom dont get the digital stations mind, plus its a remote so i can change the tracks etc on the go without going into the pocket!

or like said most mobile phone have a radio.

buy a shimano xt front mech and shifters!

bin the rest!

What price range?
I stay at the Astoria when on business which is on Paris 'rd' if I remember correctly. It's not the cheapest but it's one of the better hotel I've stayed at with nice rooms and breakfast and it's central. About €90 but you may get a better deal than my usual 1 night flying visit.

this is just off the rambler right? lovely staircases and has a small pool on the roof.

ive stayed there its lovely

look for the vid of a guy hitting CF forks with a hammer!

About 850g per tyre seems to be the lightest of what mtb racers use around here. Mind you, the top 3 of most races are more on tyres about the 1000g mark.

both my tyres weigh less than 1000g ande there nothing mega special

i use these bad boys!

im also on the coast but dorset. go to a garage and get it done they shoudnt charge you!

where are you, i can do it if your local. i bet if you went to any car garage and you have the wire and crimp ready they well do it for free!

i crimp up to 150mm2 cable with hydraulic battery crimpers at work!

20mins, 4.5 miles

marine electrican

5 days a week. this is my 5th week riding in still going strong! and more money less fuel!

put tape anywhere the cable touches the frame. eg headtube toptube fork.

or you could rap the whole thing in cotton wool. its for riding don't worry to much about it. you will get over it pretty quick like i did!

plus a chain protector would be best on the chain stay CRC do one for like £3 or a raceface one on wiggle is £4 atm.

come on guys hes just trying to walk in the contryside!

im a 34 waist and i wear an XL the large was to small altho the oakley shorts i had befor were a large and more like a 36 waist!

Ive got the singletrack shorts and there great. wearing really well after 2 years there is small signs of wear under the waist at the back, its stretchy fabric probably me pulling them up. and they are not very water proof after a few to many washes in the washing machine!

tomtom here! even my mother uses it!

i would say two lenses one for a day with the family or race events etc

where zoom isn't really necessary plus you will need to open the shutter a little bit longer when there is low light etc and the Image Stability is great for this!

canon 17-85mm IS its a great lens

and one for the far shots wildlife being in the cheap seats at the Grand Prix etc.

canon 70-300mm is lens

both great lenses!!

]this is a job for derek acorah

or as hes so busy on TV

any new on this?

and a free bump!

how much?

vinyl sticker? or like said sandblast

if there are no stress cracks i would drill it out to 8mm so its nice and smooth all the way round, and get it welded.
