@mrjmt

Thanks for that info, appreciated.

£179.99 is a steal and its only slightly heavier than the original Cove Handjob

@mrjmt

Do you own one? Whats the ride like?

@ Rusty Spanner

Bargain Prices ! Not bad weight too on the TIG Team SL

obviously a Soul

Yeah I agree but a little bit out of my price league unless you know where theres a second hand one?

Never send credit card details by email. It is not secure. It is like writing them on a postcard and posting it.

Sorry I should have been clearer, I asked them by email to refund me quoting my name and order number. I never sent my card details by email, that’s just asking for trouble !

I’ve posted on this thread twice explaining / ranting about this but I believe there’s something significant about the way it happened to me.

I initiated the card transaction by email. It was a refund that I had requested from an order that was never delivered.
That to me rules out any Keylogger / Trojan concerns.

If someone had intercepted my details a month previous to my refund, why would you wait till after the refund was issued ? It must be pointed out that no other purchases were made in the meantime.

I use Bluepoint A/V btw, which Is only one of a handful of A/V programs that picked up the banking Trojans.

If my card details were held on file for a month, where could they be accessed at ?

How are the refunds performed? Does CRC do the refund transaction onsite or is it done by a third party off site ie an ecommerce company.

I have no idea I’m just a raggy arsed engineer & biker but it would be interesting to know.

It’s **** things up big time for me. Missed card payments to the likes of Sky due to card being cancelled. I’d rather pay with sheets at my LBS than risk this shite again just to save a few quid.

Then to top it off I never made the link with CRC so shopped with them again when my new card came, so I’m going to have to cancel that one to be safe FFS !!!

And then some wisecrack blames the integrity of my firewall / antivirus !

Sadly this is all too common these days. I reckon that people will eventually go back to cash shopping and ride penny farthings with handlebar moustaches :-)

Tracker1972 knows the crack. It’s the part that fits in the chuck so the disc sits parallel and concentrically

What I also meant was that the disc has to have enough thickness on it after a skm. You need to know what the minimum permissible thickness is from the car manufacturer.

Provided theres enough “meat” on the discs any engineering firm should be able to skim them in a lathe for you relatively cheaply.

The problem is that you need to fabricate a boss / hub to mount them. That’s the bit that’ll cost.

Worth asking though.

Where abouts are you?

I do rain or shine. Only over a mile but I live at the top of a very steep hill. Look forward to tonking it up on the big ring after a 12 hour night shift !

Nah, an inspection camera up yer bum. Oh lord, the pain.

Once tore both achillies tendons, that nipped a little bit as well!

I’ve never clicked a CRC banner or visited the site via a referral yet still got walloped with the O2 prepay purchase after a CRC transaction. I’ve never used one of their discount voucher emails either.

The keylogger / antivirus thing doesnt wash with me.

Regardless of whether CRC is to blame or not I sincerely hope they are looking into this matter internally.

In the meantime pending an offical responce, there’s plenty of other mail order companies worthy of my hard earned cash!

Expensive

Ooh now then, I ordered some stuff from CRC at the beginning of January which never left the “processing” stage, even when I contacted them a fortnight ago.

They then promptly refunded me the money and apologised, and was then stung for a mysterious £30.00 O2 TopUp Prepay purchase !

I have never been fleeced online before and couldn’t understand how my details had been stolen.

Coincidence or a pattern emerging here peeps ?

Got an MBR sub ages ago for the free Giro helmet. Sick of reading predictable reviews along the lines of “here’s another Specialized let’s give it 10/10”.

In the end I didn’t even bother reading the mag, I just gave them away.

Full suss more fun to ride… Bollocks.

I’ve went from full sussers to a Cove hardtail, and wouldn’t go back.

Urban baking ?

Chilli and wife beater.

Haha, Stella-tastic !

Cheese XL crisps and my bodyweight in beer

Why?

The cups can be replaced ( or should I say removed ), they are a hardened steel insert in an alloy body. It’s just that you’ll have to buy a blooming complete hub and press them out.

Seems to me that Shimano don’t want you easily resurrecting old hubs.

It was the exact same nut slackening / tightening on the axle that trashed mine.

TuckerUK has the right idea, in hindsight it may well have prevented the damage caused to mine.

No.

2 rear hubs in just over a year.

You cant buy new cups from Shimano

Had to buy a new hub & hacksaw it in half to press out the new cups for the old hub (more economical than rebuilding the rim onto the new hub).

Why bother mucking around around like that. Get a good sealed bearing hub like a Hope. Easy to work on, well designed and parts readily available.

I maintain, modify & improve high volume production machinery that produces car tyres for some of the most prestigious car manufacturers in the world.

And my discount is crap.

One of my boys on a pootle round Newcastleton

If the bearing is seized then theres bound to be wear on the axle. The outside diameter of the axle will be reduced due to it turning against a static inner race of the bearing.

Is this a Shimano Hollowtech 2 crank?

You “might” be lucky, you may have only worn down the nylon top cap spacer that sits between the axle & bearing.
The axle itself may still be intact. Cant comment on Truvativ cranks.

You havent been over zealous with muc off in the BB area have you?

I love this one…

Ha ha Is it right your mam had venetian blinds on yer pram you ugly ****?

I hated my Kenda Nevegals, super sketchy at the likes of Whinaller/ae/mabie/keilder etc ie the wet slatey & rooty conditions that you mention ( we dont do dry weather in Cumbria! )

Moved to single ply high rollers. 42 super tacky upfront and a maxxpro 60a on the rear and have honestly never looked back.

Crude oil is so last century anyways.

I have an IPhone at the minute and have had the 32gb touch. IMO I think the sound quality is nowhere near as good compared to Cowon & Samsung players but that depends on how much of an audiophile you are!

The major bugbear of IPods is the lack of customisable EQ.

Also here’s a one for you regarding headphones, Soundmagic.

They are an OEM manufacturer that have received praise with their pl-30 & pl-50 in ear ‘phones.
Very affordable!

Rappers Delight (back in the day) – Various Artists

2 cd £4.50 on Amazon. I have this album and it’s old skool with the likes of:

At that price mate it’s a no-brainer

Very nice, working on custom Rockshox Revelation decals for my 2010 forks.
