For a smaller ride, park up on flatts lane (Normanby) near the NHS offices and head towards Eston hills, there's a few miles of trails there, and it's a bit more accesible than the moors………….plus i reckon all the snow's gone from there!

:)

Bye Bye LBS!!

:(

Does anyone know if they're any more reliable with ceramic bearings All the reviews i've rea are totally 50/50 on the SS ones….

cheers!

Just out of interest on the BETD bearings website it says "outboard" bearings does this mean it's the same as the hollotech set up?

Alright.
those ceramic BB's it says they fit on "outboard" ball bearings. does this mean Hollotech bottom brackets then?

sorry this is with regards to the expensive/budget link….

O.k brill, i've stripped cleaned and regreased (that link was really helpful, cheers!):)
i've put the hub back together again, but i've got no noise at all when the wheel is "freewheeling" not a murmour! Is this right? When i was putting it back together i followed the diagrams to the letter and there seems no problems with the fit of the hub.

Have i done something wrong here or are DT Swiss generally quiet?

?

Yeah, i thought it'd be pretty straight forward but it's an old pair of cerit hubs (only from 2007)…but i can't find anything on that link mate….Anymore for anymore? :)

genius! i've had six inches of brake cable kickin' about the garage for about 3 years…….i knew it'd come in handy one day!!

:)

So as long as they fit the k24's…..he's laughin' right?

(think he's just bought levers and calipers only that is)

See, told you sheshe was fiiiiiiiiiiiine

That young lass mountain bike XC champion? i think she called Rita Gunnar something. she's really pretty, nice smile too iirc….totally on topic aswell!

Velcro………quite expensive………i'd go as far as to say……….. it's a "rip off"!!!!

Sorry, i'll get my coat.

cheers bud, i'll be keepin an eye on ebay over the next couple of months though, mainly after the durins…..

just posted earlier about my forks ( i've got 2007 XTC C1 aswell)

My forks will be gettin' an upgrade later next month i reckon.

just thought it was a bit spooky

(odd i know!)

What year is your frame sputnik?

yeah, the durin SL's look spot on, i'm lookin at £426.00ish best price…..just a case of waitin till next payday if there's no point waitin for a cheaper price….

:)

Anyone?

i knew i should have put a more "catchy" title!

:)

i didn't realise there were other drinks than beer on an evening.

doesn't anyone go on the MBR forum?

<ahem> !

:)

34.9 it is!

cheers peeps

Bianch M.U.T.T from '06ish………it's just the commuter so i'm not lookin at spendin loads on it.

Beware of superstar brake pads, me and a mate went to danby, he'd just put the pads in and they lasted him………………..the ride (about 20 miles)………

sintered do the job for me fine (goodridge)

i thought i was definately fastest on the buzzer for that one.

rats!

i know i know

*waves hand at teacher*

push the pistons back in/open them up with a flathead screwdriver……..then try refitting!

i've seen these advertised, the scandium rims are really light, but i have visions of these failing in a stack (495.00 for two weels weighin just over a kilo)

fishy?

Yeah these have recently started rattlin' like a good'un, but it's really weird, cos there'e no play in the lowers.

my local bike shop is quite reputable, will they be trained to look at fox or do they really have to go to moto or the likes?

i haven't but because there's no movement between the upppers/lowers, didn't think it would be them?

if it is the bushes, am i running the risk of "inflicting" more damage?

Hi, i'm a long term reader first time poster, and i've got a problem with my fox forks (32 80mm) wonderin if you can help while on the subject………….

when the forks are locked out manually they're totally stiff and fine, but when they're bouncin' there seems to be a bit of movement feels like it's the headset, but it's definatley not, and i've tightened the cones but to still no joy!

there doesn't seem to be any lateral movement/play between the legs when i've checked, can anyone help me out please?
