thanks guys, i don’t know what type it is, it’s also tiptronic if thats helps? I’m playing safe and it’s going into audi tomorrow.

cheers KS, there seems to be so many, i’ve registered and posted on a few now but haven’t had any responses. looking at the number of posts the sites don’t seem to get much traffic at all, maybe everyones out driving their cars!

thanks easygirl

thanks guys,

the aistons look good, i’ll ring him to see if they’ll fit my car.

thanks, yes they seem good, you can’t get to the boot though can you?

i might have been pushing it a bit with 3 but i can get 2 in mine

easy, in fact you could probably get 3 in

I must be unlucky as my altura ‘waterproof’ shorts are rubbish and not waterproof at all, i won’t be buying another pair.

Buy cheap, buy twice?

tea or coffee?

yep, pretty good, i’ve got some shorts and trousers in medium which is 32 i think.

link would help!

you can see the drop on Matti L’s helmet cam and i don’t think it looks that bad at all, esp for someone like Hill whose probably practiced it 10 times over the w/e

I would have nailed it anyway 😆

Legend, the mighty Steve Peat

I did but i collected locally which meant i could try them on, can’t see the postage being much more than a fiver though?

I’m 12st and i have 170psi in my Pushed RP3 and like to run it on the softer side. I do bottom it out sometimes but only on fairly decent jumps and drops, never on ‘normal’ trail riding. I can’t see that bottoming it out all the time will do it any favours.

I’m guessing there’s something up with it or at least needs a good service?

thanks, i’ll sus it out

lazy sod, get some spanners ;-0

If you’ve tried all of the above, there’s only the garage left i’m afraid. Some people stick an inner tube in an inflate, carefully remove the tube from one side leaving the other seated so you’re half way there but that didn’t work for me either.

I can get my non ust highrollers up on my crossmax xl but i need a compressor and they are also prone to burping if i drop the psi a bit. To be safe i run rim strips from the fabulous JRA linked above.

right i’ve been on autotrader and ebay and theres a few local so i’ll check them out tomorrow.

I’ve just come back from the shops and the brakes went on my V40, got home to find brake fluid all over the rear wheel, took the wheel off and the pipe had corroded through so i’ll have to fix that tomorrow morning before i try and trade it in! it’s been a great car in general but it’s time for a new one.

thanks for the info Paul, i’ll look into those,

the main plus point that’s swayed me is the fuel ecomomy, it seems to be nearly double other 2 litre estates.

thanks, there’s plenty of those about, do you own one, are they a good car?

that’s the badger, worked fine for my short clip, cheers

sherwood pines drop on here btw

would you believe he bought it from an auction so i’m not too optomistic for him but apparently he did get some sort of warranty?

thanks guys, i’ll pass these on, he did say it seemed to be smoke as appose to steam but he’ll check, i remember that filler cap test so i’ll get him to check that.

ta

no worries, give it a go, it works really well

thanks guys, the bolts are tight but i’ll recheck them all and give the disc a sand.

the forks are old but i’ve never had any problems with them before, i did check the headset too and thats ok. When i’m riding along looking down the judder does seem to very localised around the caliper?

i can’t believe everyone has totally dismissed my suggestion and gone for stratobikers idea (no offence) It’s the same principle but instead of ugly cable and tape i use some very discreet fishing line.

😉

you need a “Matt wire” invented by said friend of mine, get a length of strong fishing line, tie the top to the seat or top of post, work out the right length and tie of to the clamp bolt. Perfect height every time esp good for resetting on the fly.

sorry but that stem looks really naff, what are you going to do, get to the top of a climb and adjust it round to go down, then adjust it again to go back up??

Rest looks good though, like the grey lyircs, better than my black ones.

spot on, thanks Simon

i mean, high volume/lox volume can,

so the high volume is noticeably larger then?

anyone know this ???

me too, apparently you’ve got a better chance of running for a charity and going through them to get one of their guaranteed places, i’ve gone through NSPCC.

all wire bead, Big Earls are 2.5, Earls 2.4.

Conservative ratings are One BE is a 9/10 wet one, the other is a 8/10 dry one, both E’s are 8/10.

£25 posted a pair or £40 for all 4?

I know what you mean, i’m going to do the Great Yorkshire Run in September and i’ll keep an eye out for any other local ones.

I’ve just onto the London Marathon site but it’s bogged down, i didn’t realise it was a ballot.

As for triathlons, i had thought about those but i think it would start to get very competitive and i’d need to train alot more which for me would take the ‘fun’ element out of it?

Well done, yeh i was suprised how many people were along the whole route but esp Ecce Rd. My wife and kids had made a big banner for me which spurred me on.

well done, you beat your target,

I think it’s a pretty straight forward jump from 10k to 10 miles, what’s in a letter! then if you can do 10 miles you can do 13 (speaking from my extensive knowledge and experience of running!)

willyboy, how weird is that, no i didn’t stalk you though i would have said hello if i’d realised. It was strange running it as i didn’t really enjoy it as such but was glad with how i did.

Jamie, give it a go, i’ve been swept along with the whole marathon thing so i suppose London is the next step, plus i’m 39 next year so it’s one of those things to do before you’re 40. I don’t want it to affect my biking though.
