You can leave 40psi in floaters overnight, no bother ,to help them seat if you really need to.

If you buy a bike without pedals, legally speaking it’s an incomplete bike and as such is not required to come with reflectors of any kind, frame mount, wheel mount or otherwise.

Maybe a crushed bearing?

Most usual reasons are…

1. Too tight a bend at the rear mech.
2. Radius of bars too tight, some gear cables are better than others at following tight bends. Don’t go mental on the electricians tape.
3. Mixing and matching inners and outers.
4. Dirty outer cable cuts.

The model you require are these

BSOODBP-XXSH

or these for sintered

BSSFRDBP

These are on PX I assume they are on the OO site also.

I doubt they’ll makr them illegal, they certainly do offer a smoother stroke once you recalibrate your legs.

They’ve been out a while, launched late last season so they’re really just taking off now in time for the new XC season. They build up lovely and light. The BB area is stiff as buggery and the front end is similarly stiff so steering is tip top and very responsive. Frame layup, cable routing, BB, head-tube and wheel options are all On-One specific.

Drop by and give one a quick spin, they’re very good, right on the money with a dropped stem and light 100mm fork.

I think SRAM take the lead on the OEM market because their lead times are much shorter- weeks vs months, their payment terms are much more generous and they seldom/ if ever fail to deliver what you order. Throw in a level of OEM customer support and service that is simply the best out there and it’s no surprise they are doing so well these days.

There’s nothing to choose between the performance of the products ultimately other than one or two headline features for either brand.

More price competition is good for customers, good for us all.

The knucklebars are a good choice they’ll transform the cockpit, same for the carbon forks if you didn’t get them.

The Floaters are pretty light in the sidewall, so if you’re charging hard in corners 9-10psi gives a good feel unless you’re over 12stone then go up to 11psi.

As Scotroutes says check for excess paint in the dropouts, the Fattys are usually bob-on for alignment. Check the hanger on drive side is fully seated, a bit of paint behind the hanger can throw a wheel out.

85kg and 130psi

Had a mesh repair done in November, open style. The reason they do some of them open is that it allows them to remove and repair the bulge, not just stick a piece of nylon sieve over it.

I was back on the bike, very lightly, after 3 weeks, didn’t start rowing again until 7 weeks as it didn’t feel right with my knees at my chin under load.

The scar tissue is still quite hard though it’s melting away. i climb so my core strength was very good anyway, though it’s only not that I’d say i’m back to pre-op form.

That said there is blatantly a piece of plastic in my groin that i can feel move around on occasions and a patch of numb flesh about 3″ square under the op-site

Like the belt-less Ultremo’s they’ve never been great for puncture resistance and they do wear pretty quickly, but the trade off is they are super light and very low rolling resistance, especially with latex tubes or tubeless. I’m 85kg and they’re my road tyre of choice, not for any of the above but simply because they are the grippiest tyres I’ve ever ridden.

You pays your money….

(I’ve found the Hutchinson Fusion 3 to very puncture resistant, pulled a 6mm shard straight out of my rear tyre last week, hadn’t gone through, not even a slowy. They are light, roll fast, but you do lose some grip, especially on greasy roads.)

Compress it all the way in, invert bike, release lever with bike inverted. If that removes the squidge (for one compression) then you have air in with the oil internally and it needs a full rebuild, not just a lever hose bleed.

“They took the seatpost out and there were wires,” no shit sherlock, welcome to Di2.

When i see pictures of the frame cut up and the motor exposed then I’ll believe it, until then it’s just noise.

Of course there was that Gran Fondo guy……

13 stone, meta sx, 260lbs

As in tree felling, path building

Having just replaced a 3mm offset xsync ring for the correct (none boost) offset ring I can tell you it sure looks different. Centreline is almost a full rear sprocket up with the correct ring.

Less chain wear seems like a good option to me. If you need a bargain priced, unused 30t direct mount ring let me know, I have one….

looked epically dug-up today…

We’ve built and sold a lot of these and not seen a single one back yet. Solid rims.

Get one if you have space in the shed. The carbon forks are noticeably smoother and at £75 a straight up bargain.

It’s Vavert at PX and we had to limit it to ten per customer to stop other bike shops buying them all up and then charging you £3 a pop.

I’m waiting for Endura to do a road version of their MT 2 500, 60k breathable, should mean I can get away with just a base layer, instead of having to layer up to soak the sweat up.

The shop will take return items in. They can’t process your refund though.

Ninfan has hit the nail on the head.

There seems to be an awful lot of identical pricing around on some items, ever see Schwalbe Magic Mary Super Gravity at anything less than a few pence under £50. There’s lots more examples and none of them serve the end customer.

You boys are thinking shop prices for spokes. Big UK wheelbuilders will be going direct to DT/Sapim not buying them through UK importer. £1 a spoke inc nipple for decent double butted spokes or cheaper aero’s. 40 minutes to an hour to strip, lace and true. £75 is bang on, anything much over that doesn’t include any other work is a pisstake. You can bet the wheel builder, if in shop, is getting nowhere near £20 PH.

Ultegra is better kit that Rival, but not £400 better, maybe half that. I’d take Ultegra over Rival. Currently using Red rear and shifters with D.A cranks and front mech.

3-4 million a year for the Atherton deal. Get a grip it’s more like half that for 3 years.

The warehouse is no longer near the Sheffield showroom, so no chance of just nipping for something. That said the warehouse that was out back of Sheffield is now a bike area. So there’s more bikes in Sheffield than Barnsley by a fair chunk of change, must be 200+

Barnsley is kind of the clearance bike location + normal day to day bike stuff.

Sheffield showroom is 200 yards from the front entrance of Magna.

Formula 1 cars use a timing coil that’s no bigger than a fingernail and passes within 50mm of the sensor embedded in the track. Waving a suitable sensor past the bb area of a bike to check for a distorted field due to the inductance of a motor winding would be a piece of pi55.

That said, do we not think this is a just a sideshow distraction from the real topic of drug taking.

IME people are as nice as can be when they knock you off, then a £600 bill for a new rear wheels comes their way and they pull every trick in the book to swerve paying it.

Contacts the police and see if you have legal cover on your car insurance, or house contents. Throw everything you can at them so they know they cannot back out.

Some Italian guy, sponsored by a DC motor company did win a Grand Fondo and then held his hands up to cheating. Early last season IIRC.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you sign, you can’t give you rights away. The replacement is a warranty item, not some other form of consideration so there’s no exchange taking place, so nothing they can enforce.

Read it and tell us what it says.

Bought direct, paid by BACS, wheels arrived in ten days, swerved Her Maj but RM sliced me.

Can they afford to be paying £100 a panel for a fence they couldn’t care about?

Sofabear, you could ask me. I’ll probably be putting it for sale online tomorrow if one of the staff doesn’t bag it first.

Ed has a nice frame there, the details are well thought out, even if his website doesn’t perfectly reflect the current state of everything. It’s tough being a one man band, no doubt about that. But he’s taken that big step of striking out on his own and doing it.

Hat’s off to the guy, I’d ride one

If you ask the right PX people nicely there’s a medium GX1 27.5 Codeine in rhubarb and custard about to hit clearance for £1299. GX1, Reverb, CR32 rear shock, CR forks. Just been built.

Accidents happen, it you can’t accept that, stay indoors, in bed, asleep, indefinitely.
