    Saddles, either Romin or Toupe, have a Romin on the mtb, Toupe for the road.
    Their BG road shoes are great too.

    I had the order cancelled email followed by a phone call to say my item was in stock.
    Landed round at my local Halfords to collect my one tube. Haven’t been billed for it either.

    Had this problem with my CCDB air, wasn’t even a ‘light mist’, oil was welled up in the rebound and compression adjusters.
    Was sent back to retailer and replaced under warranty.

    Had this problem with a Chris King crown race, was starting to cause light scoring on the tapered steerer.
    replaced it and has been a neat fit since.

    Done mine in the oven twice, first time they were still a bit cramped at the toe.
    Even used the wife’s hairdryer to soften the toe, then pushed the toe out with a wooden spoon.
    Just remember to remove the insoles when you heat them, found out I now have one size 4 insole for a size 8 Bont.

    I have a Nomad C with an RP23, 13st all in, was blowing through it’s travel too easily, ended up putting the mid-sized air volume spacer in which sorted it.
    I have the CCDB Air on a Yeti 303RDH, after a warranty return (was leaking oil through the compression/rebound adjusters) the shock has been excellent. Didn’t stray too far from initial base settings.

    My 2012 Reverb developed the 10mm sag issue after 6 months, was holding the 250psi pressure ok.
    Was sent back through retailer for warranty inspection, within a week I had a replacement Reverb.

    If Ribble can post to mainland UK for free using Royal Mail, why the charge for Northern Ireland?
    Does Royal Mail not include N.I. as the same?
    If I was to post a light weight, non bulky cycling jersey to the mainland, R. M. recorded delivery I reckon it’s not going to
    cost me £7.95 either.

    Items were shipped by Royal Mail/Parcelforce.
    Would have thought they have same rates for all of UK?

    Hold the lap/reset button in for several secs before plugging the Garmin in.
    If you’re using a laptop, have it on mains power.
    Make sure it’s running the latest
    updates too.

    I had the same problem as you Stranga

    (dropping 10mm when weighted)

    It was returned to retailer to be passed on for assessment. Retailer ended up issuing me with a brand new one from their stock in less than a week.

    I’m having the same issues with Shimano XTR M988’s, front and rear.
    Bled last week, good power, good bite on a test run.
    This week, spongy feel at levers and squeals.
    Power’s still there but I really have to pull hard on the lever to come to a stop.
    Can’t lock the wheels up at all.

    I think it’s the same for the Fox 40.
    Was told it’s the spring knocking against the stanchions on compression and rebound, but it’s not doing any damage.

    A coating of grease or shrink wrap the spring is supposed to sort it out

    I have the Straitline Amps, I think they’re the same build as the SC pedals.
    The bushings tend to squeak after a few rides but there doesn’t seem to be any play in them.
    They’re easy to strip and re-assemble, just prize off the small C-clip with a small flat blade screwdriver
    Take them apart, check for wear, then coat any moving part in grease.

    Similar look to the Monster Isports.
    Handy on the bike being waterproof too.

    Yeah, it’s not exactly subtle.
    Think it was a design exercise to show how many colours they could use.
