stylo 8mm is 48-54Nm so it’s gonna be tight :-)

I normally use an 8mm 3/4″ bit on a ratchet or long torque wrench
to get mine on and off…..

I wouldn’t use a hammer – find something to use as a lever.

Mine from a year or so ago …. no photo’s of the scandal yet !

And the last incarnation of the inbred before it was sold …

ah yes … forgot off side rear wheel bearings (twice now)

hhhmmm … new turbo eh ? Question that as my gt tdi pd 130 has 153K
on it and still the original blower.

As to other bits …. water pump, cam belt, rear axle bushes, front
anti roll bar bushes, rear calipers – these are the only things I've had
any issues with on mine …..

ordered 29/9, chased later, followed the web link regarding
paypal express orders, arrived 19/10 …. "blinding" little light !

saw the £150.00 leddite and thought – I'm glad I went direct – saved
a oner there !!

ordered 29/9 … still "collecting from supplier" :-(

nice ….. :-)

gary … stop it …. no you're right of course.
What's the formula for total number of bikes again ??

+1 for the outer length … my SLX did this until I read the
installation instructions – DOH !

road bike setup would be the MAX for your mtb. Most opt to run the saddle
somewhat lower for better "clearance" :-) My mtb was 46cm with a large
amount of post, where as the roadie is a 54cm with very little post – both
fit ok – just remember the min insertion line !!!

sizing up a new Brutale …. :-)

ooppppsss – wonder what happened there !!

monty – is that the bike specific one ? SKU 25149 ? Is the image
low or high output setting ?

mine …

e-mail Dom at kinesis UK – he's a really nice guy :-)

ansmann … 2850mAh …. used in my fenix for a good 2-3 hour
run time and from batteriesplus.co.uk

yes you do need a spacer …. crc used to sell them

buy it …. i would but my 6600 double is only 250 miles
old and the financial manager would take parts of me in
payment (retribution ??) :-)

platform size … spreads the load over a larger
area and therefore helps to reduce stresses and strains on
the foot.

have to agree with that – bought some reba disc only lowers as CRC
screwed me over … 3 days from order to on my door mat :-)

me likee … specially the "red" stuff :-)

Will one of the mods please use their cod like powers
and save this plaice from bass jokes like these ….

well i never … dashs out to take a look …. so there is !!!

interesting read … my gt tdi 130 pd (damn thats a tag and a half)
is still going strong after 150k from new with no problems, failures
or issues at all. Almost perfect diesel – turn the key and drive :-)

And according to the dash computer high 60's mpg on the commute up and
down the M4 !!!

I did for a while but the slx one was "fussy" when covered
in mud … weird as the conventional version was always sweet !

Mine's an (sorry was) xc<120 and the only "gotcha" was the lower bottle
boss on the seat tube fouled the front mech band ! Filed it flush (very
carefully) with a dremel and all was good :-]

eh rocketdog – cheeky monkey mine's a 1.9 :-)

Ok, so it's scarily stock at the mo ………..

Have to agree with you on the Willier though …. nice :-)

My latest "family" addition ….

well i'll be …. crud roadracers and a maxlight with
fox's on – you're not stalking me are you ???? :D

The clearance on my trek at the front is much tighter
than yours – almost touches the tyre infront of the brake,
but doesn't rub so …. great clips ons that really work too !

bought my first ever "proper" bike from Overburys –
one 19" Holdsworth Competition …. happy memories :-]
I remember a very sweet old lady in charge too ….

been having an e-mail conversation with them over the SRAM powerlink
recall – it only started when I asked them what they were going to
do, now I keep getting replacement (wrong btw) ones sent while they
wait for the corrected version from the importers. I now have 7
complete sets of links !!!

oh my god ….. what the f are those forks !!!!!

got a wireless strada on the mtb and a trek incite on the roadie.
both simple, good displays but the cateye is cheaper :-]

@zarquon … the what of the what based on the where ….:-]

ygm

I've got some alloy ones in my slx mech ….
try clee-cycles.co.uk – kcnc jockey wheels.

had mine for 8 or 9 months and they're great. fit, cut hose
to length (didn't even need to bleed !) and ride – I've had
to bleed the rear once as I stored the bike upside down for
a couple of weeks – they, apparently, don't like this or so
the manual says :-]

Other than that good power, good feel and pretty bullet proof.

been there, started like that …. Halfords Shockwave to Kinesis XC>120
one component at a time :-]

kmc's can be taken apart/rejoined – SRAM's can't and new shimano's
can – there's standards for you !!! I clean my cassette with white
spirit too – just take the wheel out first :-]
