    When I bought them from rose I got an extra set of olives and washers for when you change the cables over

    Try the Commencal owners club,

    really nice bunch and will definitely be able to help you out

    Even though my username has Commencal in it, my meta6 is long gone, couldn’t get on with it, settled on a Trek Scratch now

    A mate tested the AM at Afan and thought the frame was good but it needed a set of 36s on it rather than the 32s that come as standard

    We took a massive 10 man dome tent and took down all the internal rooms to make it bigger, on the warmer nights we slept outside the tent anyway.

    In regards to gear, take one set of every tool you have, its a good idea to take a brake bleeding kit as well. I would definately recommend dual ply tyres and spare brake pads. a spare mech hanger and gear cables are good things to have as well.

    Lastly, have an awesome time, I went 4 weeks ago for the first time and it was one of the best experiences of my life!!

    ah, I started going about 99, that was my ‘local’ club

    I kinda missed London but went to Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Passion, Sundissential, etc

    I miss those times a bit!

    Here is my mk1 Nomad

    I have had it for about 5 months and love it, unlike a lot of people I find it fine on the uphills and amazing on the downs

    I have the specialized command post blacklite, absolutely love it and it appears to be really well made

    as everyone has said, more riding!!

    However, I have started running recently and this has improved my fitness massively, I started off small and am now building up my distances. Give this a try?

    having gone through lots of wheels, I would always recommend Hope hubs, decent price and really easy to home service. As for rims, DT Swiss 5.1 have done me proud but I am now moving to Stans flow

    I love Cannock!!

    They have done really well considering the area. you get good downhill sections that are fun and fast and the uphills aren’t too hard and i ride a 160mm travel bike, been back 3 times and i will go again

    I had them for about 6 months a couple of years ago. They are very heavy but I never got a puncture and they rolled reasonably well. Fairly grippy as well.

    In a nutshell, for their price I thought they were ok

    Queen Elizebeth Country Park on the A3 just outside of Portsmouth, there has been a lot of work going on there in the last year improving the trails, lots of other riding (Southdowns Way, etc?) nearby as well

    I expected a bit of wear but after one serious ride it seems a little excessive?

    Bike tape was used for all the cables

    Cool, cheers guys, will prob take the plunge with the blacklite 😀

    It would have been the reverb hands down but because of the layback it has to be discounted 🙁

    I used to have a Joplin so I know a rubbish post!!

    If you go through all the posts there seems to be trouble with all of them, the command post seems to get a more positive than negative and its the blacklite version I want

    Just so im sure, does the syringe have ubing with a threaded insert in the end so you can screw it into the lever bleed thread?
