Yeah that annoys the shite outa me – do you mean the housing buckle on the camera unit ??

Not the camera housing, the chest strap buckle/fastener, it has a tendency to rattle against the chest plate.

Good book Dave, 80% read in the last 2 days. Finishing off the chapter on the Dunwich Dynamo.

Try a bit of tape or velcro behind where the buckle fastens on the chest mount, should dampen the rattle picked up by the GoPro’s mic.

Have one on order to replace a ti coiled DHX rc4 for my DH bike (Yeti 303rdh) with Freeborn,
being told a 3 week delivery time includes set-up.
Couldn’t find many reviews on it either.

Hob Nob, what do you think of the Bos DeVille?
reckon it would be ace set-up with their Vip’r.

My large carbon Nomad,
now with full XTR,
10sp 11/36 cassette 42/30 cranks, 180F/160R trail brakes, trail pedals
Fox Float RLC 160/ RP23
Industry 9 enduro wheelset
Easton Haven carbon bars
Reverb post
total weight 29.76lbs with crappy Kendas
Hutchinson Toro Enduro’s on order should bring it under 29.5lbs

I’ve had the Lifeproof one for over a month now.
Good so far, it’s had a couple of soakings out on the bike with no leaks, not as bulky as other ‘tough cases’ either.
It’s expensive, but so is having to spend £350 replacing a water damaged iphone.

My 3yr old Nephew loves his Chuggington railway.

You’re right enough mildred, I have the RC4/Ti spring set-up.
How much does a used RC4/Ti go for these days?

Scott Foil or Cervelo’s S5 are both aero frames like the Venge

Fox RC4 450g + Nukeproof Ti spring 235g
685g total
CCDB Air 530g
difference of 155g or 0.34lbs
£500 to drop 155g, dunno about that one.

I ordered 4 metres of SP41 from CRC.
It arrived in 4 x 1 metre lengths.

It’s a hateful job, done mine last night.
Supplied grease gun has a habit of not releasing from the zerk nipples.
Have read stories of nipples been pulled out of the lower linkage.
The end of the grease gun can be unscrewed, figure 2 gives you details.

Did an offroad mtb ride with a group of roadies around Xmas, nothing too technical, a few fire road climbs. The “catch up” was just that. As they were resting up I had barely time to catch breath then they were off again! If that’s what a road ride involves I think I would seriously struggle. Don’t mind pushing myself a bit but there was no enjoyment in that one.

Would the 15-17mph be enough to keep up on a group ride?
I see the local club heading out on weekends. Again, no Idea of what they’re averaging or distance covered.

Truvativ x-Guide or MRP 2X

Truvativ looks the better fit with your X0’s

Right, had a crack at them.
The big bearing closest to the crank arms was fine, it was the 3 small outboard bearings in a row that were wrecked, seals were worn out. Didn’t help that the small O-ring was fitted in the wrong place from the start. The small O-ring sits in a groove on the axle inset of the 3 small bearings.
Had bother removing one of the small bearings, the tool only tapped out the inner race leaving a lot of hammering with a small flat blade screwdriver to dig out the remaining outer race.
So from crank-arm to axle end it goes.
Large bearing, large seal, small O-ring (on axle groove), 3 small bearings, crush/washer, then the screw to hold it all securely in place

Three tiny bearings and one large load bearing per pedal in the kit.
geetee, do you have a link to the internal diagram?

Googled this too and yours is the first post it brings up.
My Podiums develop an annoying squeak after doing 10 to 15 dry miles.
Might be a job of greasing existing bearings/axle instead of replacing them.
Got the bearing removal tool (with no instructions) and bearing kit yesterday.
Will have a go at stripping a pedal later and keep a note of bearing, seal, crush/washer order.

Probably not much help to OP but I see Mavic is doing free crash replacement on their 2012 wheelsets until end of February.
Maximum of 3 rims and hubs within the 2 year warranty period.
Crossmax ST’s are looking even better.

Biketart had been showing out of stock/awaiting delivery for weeks.
A quick phone call to find out an estimated delivery date and I was told they had
my size and colour in stock. Ordered there and then and arrived 2 days later.

Happened a few times to me.
Held the lap/reset button in on unit before turning off to clear the activity.
Always connected Garmin to computer with Garmin’s power off.

Fitted a Fox air tuning spacer to my Nomad C 2 weeks ago.
O-ring sag meter sits higher on the shock shaft now,
worth a go for £25 and it’s only 5 minute install.

Gaffer tape between the chest plate and the buckle.
Both have a tendency to rattle together going over any rough stuff, sound is picked up on the cameras mike

£176 for standard can

Thanks Ruscle, so the shock still runs with the standard 3 position Propedal damping.
Liked the idea of the new adaptive logic damping can be switched to a sort of lock-out.

10.30 in mentions a “Trip Step”

If your SC Blur is like my Nomad it will maybe need a low mount top-pull mech.
Had problems with the cable on a conventional mount mech rubbing on rear triangle.

Had a few knocks to the ribs lately so invested in a Troy Lee 5900 chest protector.
Has back, shoulder and chest plates. Chest plates have panels that wrap around to the back plates.
It’s light, well ventilated and panels can be removed with a hex key.
Doesn’t look too bulky under a DH jersey either.

Industry 9’s All Mountain or the slightly heavier Enduros
Really fast pick-up hubs, 120 point engagement.
Aluminium spokes (comes with 4 spares).
Choice of colours for both hubs and spokes.
Have the Enduro set for a few months and have been great.
Can be fitted to standard 32 hole rims

A bit of drifting?

This man did alright for himself.

5’10” on a large Nomad C, running a short 65mm stem

Watch out for the dropouts on the SS1, had mine replaced under warranty, think they are £70 a piece.

I copy the album artwork from Amazon.

Got an item dispatched email yesterday even though I haven’t order anything lately.
Phoned CRC to find out it’s an item ordered and paid for over 2 years ago.
Beat that for service!
