Salsa Cromoto on the front, 8 speed cassette on the back, But it’s the “thickness” thats confusing me though (length is the same on both sets)

I use a front mech only for my commuter on a 44 tooth chain ring……..no problems so far!

:)

Had a pair of eggbeaters on the main bike for about 2 years (about 2.5k miles)no issues but have serviced them three times since new) Got a pair on my commuter (about 1k miles) no problems and yet to be serviced. I think they’re hit and miss judging by the love/hate relationship on here…

Helly hansen thermal long johns under 3/4 shorts. i may look a bit odd but feel warm!

’99 Kona Nunu with rock shox jett 100mm forks (till i changed it to rigid)……….was fine.

Was hoping to get a new chain for the main bike and letting the parts “trickle” down to the commuter. Don’t like spending money (directly) on the commuter if i can help it, plus it’s a good excuse for a new chain on the good bike!
I’ll have a look at the wear rate on the chain on the other bike
:D

The least enjoyable ride should go. :D

Seems like the GP4000s is a winner for lightness…what’s the puncture protection like though?

:)

Gonna bump this up before i go to bed, looks like the bike has a union jack on the front so possibly not made in the U.S? Possibly from the late 70’s early 80’s…..
Anyone?

Cold cold Middlesbrough. Home of the petro chemical industry. <cough cough hack splutter>

Me too!!

My LBS advised as above: ceramic = road, SS = mountain

Running a FD with a longer screw through the limit adjuster on the “B” adjust. Sweet as a nut with the same chain length as was with my original 3×9. :P

SAme here…CTBM have you ran out? :(

Thanks TJ but….erm……how big’s your ring? 8O would it still be ok to fit 46t and use a FD?
cheers

I had to stick my name down for a bit of that action. YGM.

Yeah i know they have their issues but i've has a set of eggbeaters for a couupl of years with no issues……….I'm a believer!

Anyone else (with faith in CB):)

I've got a similar problem with my Fox Forks R80'S I think……how big a job is it and how much for replacement bushings?

:)

Sweet. I'm goin' to order a pair now…..Cheers!

:)

This has dropped off the front page now …..ka ching/ba bum!

Link! :D

Thanks for the replies-i'm goin to look into that nitromors idea. Seems like a load less hassle.

There's a specific camera bag called slingback or somethinq – sure it's by AW. it's a back pack with a side access that just kinda'swings round to the front for easy access. sorry i'm a bit vague………..the thought was there though! :-)

Wire brush attachment on a drill………….or is that too hardcore? :?

In a nutshell. that's just how i like my replies……….cheers!

:D

Cheers, i've seen the specs on it which said it was 7-something or other grade alu (rather than heavier 6061) i expect the fork and the seat won't last too long anyway…..Yep bright red with glow in the dark stickers…..apperently!

Yep I'm with M+S too (i've heard they're very good) was just wonderin' about premiums next year though. Have you had much of an increase?

"To be able to sit at the top of a hill and enjoy a cigarette and a can of guiness immediately after getting off the bike."

Cheapskaaaaaaaate!

I'd been wanting to do that since the start of this thread.

:)

How do you know where to buy said photographs from – i assume they give you a flyer/business card in the "doggy bag" at the ed of the race?

am i right?

:)

The instructions are there on the singletrack "help" bit. and i did everything i was supposed to – i used snapfish rather than tinypic, that's the only difference.

:)

i commute about 20 miles on this once or twice a week…

Apologies, was mainly checkin' to see if i could upload images!

:wink:

Agree, i do only use it sometimes. But i like things on my bike to work!

:)

i'll keep my eye out in the classifieds(RH was advertised recently) cheers.

Ker-ching/B-bump.

Did a search in the end and used washing up liquid!

Went on ok. seem to have stuck well too.

See you later guys I'm off to try 'em out!

:)

Gt85 on Carbon fibre? Will it work?
:)

Guiness. Nuff said!

Does anyone know if it's on TV? I'll be at the lakes (with my bike of course) so it'll have to be recorded on the V+ methinks……..

Cheers guys. Clean, degrease and repack or just replace?

Any ideas guys?

cheers!
