Just went through a very similar dilemma, opted for the Revs as they were lighter and had the maxle

Snaps – I have been looking at them and really tempted but buying from across the pond does put me off a lot. If they go wrong I suspect Rock Shox won’t do anything on warranty and I have been stung in the past paying import tax on stuff when bought from abroad.

If anyone else has any experience with buying from the states which is any different to this let me know!

£500 for some Lyriks is over my budget and slightly heavier than I would like.

Sektors are an option but haven’t tried or even seen any yet.

Both great prices but I need the with a now ‘old skool’ 1.125 steerer!

I would prefer to move to bolt through rather than QR.

There were a few good deals around a month ago but they seem to have dried up!

Never buy on a recommendation always go and try them on. I personally prefer 5:10's but I only really like one pair as other designs don't suit my feet.

I went into a Go Outdoor's and tried around 10 pairs before buying my last pair. They leave all the stock they have on the shelf so you can be left in peace to find whatever works best for you.

I recognise 90% of those but some I don't and would like a go, anyone have the route saved on GPS or can give directions?

Any idea where I can get the tools?

OK as I need to ride on Sat think I'll just replace the front set and leave the rest as I will only have the bike for another few months

Crap, I was really hoping for…. Its really easy just do this and hey presto…….

Why is life never easy!

A field?

What do I win?

Don't live anywhere near there base unfortunatly otherwise I would just pop in.

Good to hear its a fast turn around, seems like there is still hope in getting to ride this weekend!

so which makes use eVent, the main one I can think of is North Face and I'm not really a fan of their stuff since they decided on becoming a fashion brand

I thought the max was £1000 on B2W?

Trail mix, mine is usually nuts, raisons, currants, smarties, jelly totts etc

ooh really, where?

1994 Marin Pallisades Trail
1998 Specialized Rockhopper Comp
2000 GT LTS 2000
2001 Klein Attitude Race
2006 Enduro

New bike this year!

Cool thanks Chaps

I think you will be fine.

I'm not a dog owner but I would be pretty embarrassed if my dogs attacked someone else and I was unable to control them

Got 30% off my bill and a new Wireless N router to replace the old one which may or may not be the cause of the problem,

Well worth the 15min phone call!

Odd that this should come up today!

I have got to attend a speed awareness course this avo for doing 57mph in a 50!

I'm running some Supersonic MK 2.4's at the mo and have been really pleased with them other than the lack of protection they offer. Moving over to RQ's next as no one really has a bad word to say about them so must be worth a look!

That was way better than Saturday kitchen which the Mrs is watching!

Do they do a new vid every week? Any idea what camera he is using?

So jealous, when I do ride into work its usually just past Bristol's finests tramps

Cable is too tight, loosen at the shifter(Sram) or the mech (Shimano)

Mendips as it could be the only ride of the year I get up there without it being boggy as per usual!

Snap!!

Fourth ride in a row where bike has gone away without needing a clean! Long may it continue

Woop Woop trial ride in Leigh Woods went well, no skipping!

Beer time me thinks!

Right I think it's working well! Proof will be on Sat's ride. Should be a dry one so small amounts of dust should be the only thing interfering with my changing.

Not holding my breath but seems to have done the trick*

*Used the no chain method above made life a lot easier thanks chaps!

Also I don't have a work stand which makes it all a complete pain in the arse!

Based in Bristol so if anyone nearby can take me through it and I supply the beers that works for me!

I know the logic just can seem to put it into practice! Other things are fine like stripping my forks and swapping out all the internals but gears argh!!!

Using Sram X9 which I am sure is easy its just become my nemesis!

Specialized store in Brizzle have a few I think

Thanks. I'll give them a bell tomorrow

He is moving from Edinburgh having lived there for the past 20 years. He may only live in Swindon itself for around 6 months but having never lived in England nevermind Swindon he wants to get a feel for the area but doesn't want to live in a shithole for those 6 months.

A few people have suggested the Old District but is there anywhere else worth looking at?

mmm that's my next upgrade!

Yeah think so, will find out later this evening I suspect!

I have only just recovered from last weeks burning session on the Quantocks

Immense skills of memory!

Looked steep and quite painful!

Hard to tell how steep it is from the video.

I'm heading down that way tomorrow. Will keep an eye out

Tiboy – I am based in Bristol so may take you up on that offer as it would be great to try one out before taking the plunge!

I like the sound of the coil and if I can try and get a Ti spring the weight penalty won't be huge and like you say it's not meant to be a light weight bike.

Currently running the Hi shuttle as I was getting fed-up with clattering pedals every few mins!

CCDB would be lovely but my budget won't go that far and I am planning on getting a new frame early next year anyway.

Thanks for all the suggestions, really fancy trying a coil on it What does running a steep shuffle mean tho? I am assuming there is an issue with the piggy back on the shock hitting the frame somewhere if you get the wrong one?
