it was also a suprise to see Hills tubes hanging out after yesterdays crash,

I'm guessing even with tubes if you had an impact big enough to have cracked a rim it would be a pinch and the end of your run?

dogs are useless unless they're eaten or bred for fur coats

Here's mine, had for 3 years and love it, haven't seen anything else to tempt me away.

Currently having a full overhaul pre alps trip, shock at TF, forks serviced and floodgate removed, new tyres and chain.

keep an eye on the level in the resevoir as you pump as if it's runs dry you'll have to start again, should take about 4 resevoir fills to fill the caliper and hose.

ygm

now your talking and i'll be passing about 2 if that's any good for you?

Thanks Gee looks like I've bought the wrong one! I couldn't swap an xt for deore but thAnks anyway

I don't know it's acually the second i've bent but i had a spare from another shock, i must be too rad!

Yeah i asked TF my shock is with them at the mo,

aren't they too specific for a hardware store, it's not like it's a normal nut and bolt?

some sealant in there will help it seal (funnily enough) also put some fairy liquid in an old muck off bottle or similar with a little water and spray the bubbles around the rim, it also helps if someone else can hold the tyre in place enabling you to pump like a b astard.

no that's not the one!

thanks folks

obi_twa very good indeed

ouch!

had my RP3 pushed and that's money well spent, i've also got Pikes but never thought they needed anything doing to them, what do you find up with them to warrant a push?

ta, yes i know i can do that, the problem is i've got 300Gb of tunes on the hard drive but i've cherry picked 20Gb from there for my ipod and i didn't put them in their own folder so if i start again it will take ages

love mine, got them from here for £40 but they've gone up now

ok ok i stumped up the cash, £1.53 mind!

frames are the same but a shorter shock on the sl, standard ones are 200x50mm

i thought that too, i've always wanted to go there but i don't think i'll bother now

thanks

ta

well first game is England v USA who are blue so i'm guessing white as first choice
then England v Algeria who are white but i guess we are 'home'so we'll paly in white again
then it's Slovenia v England who are also white but they are at 'home'??

so 2 white, 1 red??

then who knows!

ta, so they'll play in both, will it be 1 more than the other?

me

yep my orange one is 05

now she was fit!

The bikes built around an older Spesh P3 frame and i'm just starting off so not quite up to bar spins yet.

I've got 710's on my BFe but i think any longer on the P3 would make it a bit twitchy in the air?

Here's mine

I think that's most bases covered

As in first post the car is an 05 Passat, the recovery guy from the garage said he gets a couple of these a week and by the sounds of things at £150 a pop for draining the tank it's bread and butter for them.

Good point hamishthecat you can always be sure to get the full spectrum of views on here, love it.

very good indeed, always replaced oem ones with enduro

Just picked it up from the garage, they drained the tank, flushed the system and refilled with diesel and it's fine, £150 plus diesel.

Lowey, paypal to address in profile 😉

no it's was £200 from the garage who said that was for drainage and disposal of petrol then new fuel filter however looking around the net turns up some horror stories if the cars been driven so i think i'll let the garage look at it.

B&B hotels are 76 euro's so not that budget,

I'll try F1 again but reviews of the Paris ones talk about dirty shared toilets, very noisy, terible food etc.

Just returned my 4 pack as the pads were so far off centre on the backing plate that there wasn't enough room for the spring to sit down the side and they fouled the caliper.

Last set were fine though

sex?

thanks, i'll try the above and yes it dropping at the mo

thanks i may go for a 110 then as the saddle is quite far back on the rails too so i can play with that

maybe but i'd see if i could try one first, don't know where you are but drop Cy at Cotic a line and he may have a test bike near you.

I really like mine, run it with Pikes up front and lightish but tough build, thomson, xtr, crossmax.

Climbs very well and great going down, i updated my trusty Cove Stiffee to a BFe as i like a do it all hardtail and i've no regrets.

Watch the sizing though, i'm 5 10 and have always ridden mediums as my other 3 bikes are but i ride a small BFe.

I was going to say roll on the price war just before they go bust but i didn't want to appear too negative but thats business i suppose.

That shop in dore hardly has a good track record, it's been quite a few things over recent years none have been a success, what do they say location, location, location?

Indeed Pook, spoilt for choice, fingers crossed for a price war!

I've heard this one is going to be pretty high end though, apparently stocking Yeti amoungst others?
