yes was marshalling the 3 peaks yesterday so i could get an entry next year, was hatching a plan, think might need to red shifters if I want to use discs.

roll it in glitter

Freestanding

dolgellau to barmouth – first ride my son did on his own, then the green at coed y brenin

used to run HR on my 575 but have a bigtop now,, couldn’t get HR wagon wheels at the time and bought Nevegals, i get much better grip then the HRs ever had on my 575?? But may depend what and where you ride.

Nevegal up front, Ardent on the rear

KENDA NEVEGALS – much better then HRs

check european warantees’ get it towed to france.
When my 147 blew up at 39k and 68k miles, due to cambelt,
UK had to fix it as I pointed out although uk service schedule was 75k, european was every 36k
was over 4k worth as needed new engine second time.

BPO 1 L on a BP van near hemel hempstead

if you buy and fit a 4″ shim but only insert the post 3″ its not the required insertion.
Minimum insertion as marked on a post is the required amount to avoid the seatpost from flexing too much and snapping.

You should follow frame manufacturers advice for seatpost insertion, you seem confused, that you mention

I prove them that I inserted almost 4″

then say it was 5″

Would either depth reached below the triangle for the seatpost?

When I changed my trek to a yeti, my existing reverb post wouldn’t fit, 31.6 down to 30.9. I just bought a new one and used the packaging to make existing post look better on ebay, only lost £25 – seems like it’d have been the best option.

Surely this is an option – soup kitchen!

i feel for their advertising have much slimmer nicer wallet because of it

ruining shop stock is a bit off, especially if you didn’t ask first

Take the model on the sleeper

Trying to watch mate on the 98 car, he’ll be toping it up with oil during pit stops, he also designed the engine… he rides his bike almost as fast as this goes.

Aux cable?

3/4

4/6 if wife and family involved

well i’m already down as had brad at 20/1 to win
went for roland each way as well so reckon that worthless now as well

i’m loving this at the moment: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FORSREVXX/rockshox_revelation_xx_100mm_solo_air

I have the parts to covert XT i-spec to bar mount as have just bought i-spec kit to convert them,
e-mail me with details and I’ll check I still have all screws etc.. they/ve never been used. I can provide the shift windows as well.

have they offered a price that you would be happy with? if you said for example i hope to get £20 and they’ve offered £22 or more why not take it? If its well below what you expect to get let it run its course

neither bike are tt, just plain vanilla sit up an beg road bikes. in fact carbon has BIG tubes so probably lot less aero than 1″ headtube steel bike.

Wheels do make a difference, lighter wheels definitely make it easier.

But generally i would agree an xtr rear mech is not going to make you faster unless you are <10% body fat
but some parts do count. In fact I’d say properly set up trail suspension is often heavier than XC parts and that would probably make the average rider faster

My Carbon road bike weighs about 16lbs my steel training bike weighs about 25lbs i weigh about 240 lbs
So I’m 3% lighter overall but I go at least 10% faster when i do a 10 mile tt on my carbon bike

its actually good for your forks as it keeps the seals lubricated

i’m about same weight, i’ve had various FS and HT frames from Trek 8000 and Cotic Souls, to Yeti 575 and Trek Rumblefish. I’m going back to a Yeti BigTop. The thing I’ve always concentrated on are wheels, several cheese wheels when I first got going. I’d rather have Deore and some Crossmax STs than XT and cheap nasty wheels.

kenda nevgals all the way

letmetalktomark – thanks for comments not bothered about looks, just was worried about needle migration as had moto forks on super v years ago and wanted to know if they were more reliable. I was looking at 2013 model from qwerty cycles as the new models are suppose to be self fixing for the migration issue.

they attach to the quick release, i used to run one on my yeti 575 so any bike with discs should be possible

I went from yeti 575 2008 to trek rumblefish 29er which i actually prefer

Kenda Nevegal’s until high rollers launch

Ardent rear

I bailed half away also, rigid singlespeed wasn’t best idea, should have taken the pannier off the rear as well.
Route marking was discrete, could have been a little more obvious especially at road t junction and start of off road climb when leaving the road.

JOGLE for me had headwind all the way so LEJOG probably better way round.

4th Day 105
etc…

Just do it, you might as well, raise some money, i did it as a second thought and raised £3,000 for local disabled kids, they did the fund raising all i did was cycle and appear in a photo for the paper. Sometimes they need a crazy person to pin campaign to and get local press.

they’ll be fine i’m running stn i19 rims tubeless, one of the easiest I’ve had compared to mavic, bontrager and halo rims i’ve had in the past

last time i did it i had a guy dressed as austin powers overtake me on a chopper

bt home hub 3

BT Fon is a segregated part of your broadband that doesn’t offer the full speed when at home, you allow it so you can use other peoples when out and about, which is brilliant. Just get the BT Wifi app for phone or tablet to make connect easier. PC / Mac should be very simple never had a problem here.

vodafone sure signal here, just complain – right to ceo@vodafone.co.uk or similar I did and got £120 credit when first got my sure signal.

Just download BT SmartTalk app so you can use your mobile on wifi when vodafone on the blink.

Sold my reverb warranty replacement and bought a cannondale ss, that has improved my riding more.

cricket bats and leki poles good at dispatching the rouge ones that are too ballsy and sit in lounge watching you watch tv.
