neil you fancy meeting up for a ride sometime?

think i might get an espresso one

No neil im not windsurfing john. I live just round the corner from you in summer road by the royal oak and red lion. What time do you go to sutton on a sunday i start work at nine and sometimes get upb there for a couple of hours before that. I only work in wylde green so its easy to get back in time

alright neil and sid im in erdington now i moved not long back. I try and get to sutton park a few evenings a week, time permitting, but i love going to cannock. Going to head up there this evening after work for a few hours in the sun.

where can i see these colours?

cheesy my hubs stopped being so noisy once turned out one of the pawl springs were bust

no mine are trouble free for over a year now. Id get in touch with hope they shouldnt wear like that

when i store my bike its upside down there is some oil leakage im assuming i need to top this up plus they have had a lot of use and id just like to give them some love :)

i mainly want to change the oil bath and inspect all the parts

Had a chance to get a few other quotes today best offer i got was £200 all in what a difference its a place in the midlands that does clutches and gearboxes

its a 1.8 zetec other than the clutch the car has given me many trouble free years

If this is the case im gonna lose my car as im not paying that

Thanks for all the support i definitely wont sell my bike as your right the money would go on bills and id be back at square one. Its a shock more than anything but theres always a way to make things better and while im looking for a job at least ill ahve more free time to ride :)

Been there for 12 yrs and i will get good redundancy but that wont last long with the mortgage etc, circumstances are unavoidable, got my house on the market now to try and avoid the inevitable. My missus is taking it well dont think she really understands what an impact it will make on our daya to day living

cannock is an excellent place to ride. Go over to an area called sherbrook valley and ride around you will soon come across a few trails and there nearly always connected to another and as above the lads at swinnos are a nice bunch and will generally point you in the right direction

thanbks jim ill bare it in mind :)

yeah i really need my bike and the missus understands been doing a physics degree with the open university but dont finish it for another 2yrs could go into teaching then always fancied that

im a market man, in birmingham wholesale. I sell flower’s, nearly finished a physics degee though so who knows what ill do next, teaching maybe.

i used to love monty mole and jack the nipper

going to go down the night before CYB is slightly closer im based in birmingham

i know but they sell them at CRC just dont know what size i need

mines gonig to be merlin built also this is good news

hmm its not the brake pads could this mean my bearings are knackered?

fair enough just need to get a second hand one then

cherry coke

id like to meet ton he seems a good laugh and postierich as he rides in cannock and i think hed rip my legs off

or maybe this

freebird

my 08 nomad has a screw on cap like a north face one

its liquid blue Jae are you saying that the large would be about right for me?

its an EBB one at about £300 reasonable or not?

cheers bomber i might take a punt then its a second hand one

yeah they are i have gresed the bols holding them on though. Do people grase the plate as well where it contacts the frame?

yeah it does go away when wet but i thought that the water would muffle the sound of the creak no matter where it was hmmm spokes you say i have tried putting weight on them but it seems to only be when i pedal

no its xtr and the front is a bolt through 20mm

its not the rear skewer tried a different one in there will try the cassette nut tonight

my front hub is 3 months old im really running out of ideas i might just have to live with it

will try the chainring bolts but its not wheel quick releases i swapped them over and the font is a 20mm its not cable related eithr have changed them all recently too in fact theres not much i havent tried. When im out in the rain it stops im assuming this is the water damping the sounddo hub internals creak i havent serviced my rear pro 2 for over a year but then again its never played up

the bike s a pace 405 have checked frame thoroughly for cracks nop sign of that. Have replaced the bearings one of them was rusty as hell but it wasnt that. tried the pedals about the only thing i havent tried is my hope hubs and wheels is this something my lbs could help me with im pretty sure its nothing major i look after my bike its just so damn annoying and its strange it only happens when putting some power down

Spoon are you saying i should try the layback first then
