Take up the offer on the bentley manual if you can it's the official dealer manual nothing like haynes in terms of detail
Get over to the brickyard for advice on mechanicals but remember not everyone is a self proclaimed legend
Not really had too much trouble with gsf parts myself over the years
Give Si at webbs of warmley a call (its his shop ) Top bloke proper friendly service he knows his onions thats for sure
Official Orbea and Willier Pro build bike shop too and tell him i told you too ring the kettles always on :-)
Indeed you can use the removeable core
You will get more air in for popping the tyre up on to the bead also
And only pour the fluid in just before you fit the final part of the tyre then turn 180 degress to keep the fluid in the beaded section of the tyre not all over the wheel tyre and yourself (Like i did the first time)
:D
Funny that I am sure the trading name is quite heavily based around the theme 'NO TUBES'
not only in case of emergency' remove tubes' sorry to be so ignorant !
Sounds like making a very simple job difficult then blaming the equipment to me
Simple Stans 355's
3M mylar tape off ebay £5 for about 30 metres
Stans valve either type will do
Tyre on
Sealant in
Pump up
Shake rattle and roll
Leave on sides for a bit
Shake rattle and roll
Turn over
Then go for a ride
Make sure the bead goes down into the center of the rim on both sides whilst trying to get the tyre on and before trying to inflate.
Have you fitted a rubber rim strip ? As its not needed and will make the rim inner o/d too big i suspect.
And no probs here with Mud crosses either
Thanks maverick boy shall i start selling off all my bikes then ?
Inside leg versus wheel size maybe small road bikes should go onto 26" wheels as well sounds like thats been invented by someone who doesn't like or sell 29er's
Just to add my two penneth we have pike airs with steel
steerer and they are nice and stiff and quite easy to tune in
We had dj's with eta before and they were like a sponge in comparison and I never really Sussed that anyway
I didn't know there was so much interest around Box/Corsham area
There is some real good riding around Box,Corsham all on bridleways etc but local knowledge would help we have one our favourite rides which we call Cow Pi55 as you can imagine it does get quite wet but not too claggy but sorry cant make it this weekend
Look on your map for Weavern Lane going into slaughterford then over towards castle coombe for some nice bits
I always ran mine with sag to make it more active for trail riding so i would think a non specific shock would be ok unless you want to run true no sag
