outer cable length – Shimano mech are quite “fussy” about the curve ….

8.5 each way shortest route or 18 miles each way longest route :)

I use G8 Perfomance 2620’s with heel wedges to better affect than cleat wedging but
that’s just my bizarre feeet for you :)
to answer the direction question though … i use a heel wedge that is thicker on the
inside edge, nearest the crank to roll the leg outward and straighten the knee track as
mine used to drop in.
I’ve also found that excess arch support made me “over compensate” and the knee tracked
in at the top of the stroke !
Took some late night reading, videos and emails to various sources before the solution
was found.
I also found that wedging the spd cleat created a “rocking” sensation as the shoe was nolonger
in contact with the pedal in the normal resting state (inboard edge was lifted slightly
clear of the pedal body)

old inbred with rigid forks and some lifeline £7.99 slicks – job done :)

one of the pictures shows the back of the cage and that says “japan SS” ?

Whilst I may not be trans, I have several friends riding and otherwise who are and they
too get shit like this. It’s uncalled for, unthinking, selfish and offensive.

There have been many occasions where I’ve wanted to “vent off” but they’ve all asked me
not to.

I’d go along with somafunk and say try to ignore it (not that it’s going to be easy)

stunning – used to model in scalefour / P4 and it really is a “labour of love” :)

yes mate – still going :)

I’m with Jambo and sobriety … Ktm ftw … :)

spds and speedplays and I chop and change as to what’s in use at any
given time …. so no help to you really … :)

user of squirt on the ol’ mason year round.

overnight soak in white spirit, small amount of agitation with an old tooth brush

then rinse off under hot soapy water = sparkly drive train :)

i’ve actually got 5 atm …. and that was only angina at the ripe old age of 52 … still

hammin’ it about on bikes like nowt happened :)

2 via the radial and 3 via the femoral ….

mine did that – it’s the limit screw …. the mech “overshifts” initially then drops

back to it’s correct place. If the screw is a touch too tight it can’t overshift far

enough so the step back to correct position means it downshifts 1 cog :)

still use mine on the roadie :)

If it’s climbing up in different places then it’s not likely to be the cassette. Have you tried using the chain

guage on the places where the chain starts climbing off ? It may not be stretched beyond replacement

n some places but buggered in others ….

insoles … particularly ones that have the “metatarsul button” and some decent arch

support !

done – rings a very large bell for me as this is something I will have to deal with in the very near future

so huge condolences, be strong. Thoughts and wishes to you all ….

You might want to try asking the boss of cytek in Stroud.

My only ever new car … 21/12/2001 with PDI mileage (9) VW Golf MKIV GT TDI 130 PD,

affectionately known as “Jazzy” in the household due to it being Jazz blue :)

Date is poignant as it’s also my fav all time album :-)

256853 miles later and still going strong. several rear wheel bearings and a warranty drive

belt tensioner. Still on the original clutch !!!!!!

Brilliant, absolute classic – I haven’t laughed that hard in ages
cheers WWasWas :D

had 3 inbreds of varying types / styles – loved the ride but
not the “heft”. Now have a Tinbred instead just as excellent
a ride :)

Go for it – you’ll love it :)

Fervent prayers that stent #3 has finally fixed me and that I
Will be able to ride full stop :-)

like monkey … S1 was ok, S2 was eh ???? and S3 – I’m still having therapy.

kinesis do some interesting looking ally ones too now …..

As the fleet is now … 1 … I just chucked the guards back on – job
done and fleet ready for winter :)

Mason Definition … :)

Actually loved my move :)

36t down to a 34t should be OK. I found going the other way
Was prone to not shifting at the front if I was toward the 11
End of the cassette.

The back of the big ring has a ramp that finished where the inner
Teeth start so putting the 36t on meant the downshift didn’t work
And the chain ended up sitting between the 2 but not jammed !!!

omg … tissues ple … oh, too late ;)

bell and giro almost fit me, lazer feel tail heavy. Kask best fit
all round. Comfy. well ventilated. secure. love the gopro mount
on the mtb lid.
All that is based on my head shape though :)

My Mason Definition … :)

Mkiv gt tdi 130 pd … 250k, 1 alternator drive pulley, 1 dash module.
The rest has been regular services and hasn’t missed a beat.

I’ve went down the varifocal route several years ago and loved them.
I’m quite long sighted (+4.25 etc …. but need +1.75 for upclose) so
a touch different to yours. Some struggle with the change – my wife
couldn’t deal with them at all – as you’re used to moving the eye to
look at something which means you change the “magnification” – some
“interesting” effects there !!!
Vari’s aren’t quite as bad as bi-focal as the change is gradual
rather than “boom – reading” :)

+1 bigjim … my deores are way better “feeling” than the slx on the HT

Got an 18″ Ti Inbred with 1 x 10 slx and recons you can have for that
kind of cash …. ?

there are road trigger shifters around …. as well as levers that’ll
work with road caliper brakes.

depends on how much you want to move the rotor ?
the paper thin ones under some cassette lock rings might work ?
got shimano and hunt wheels and don’t need to re center the brakes !

wahoo tikr – does ant+ and BT …. works well on my
old edge 800 as well as the elemnt, edge 820 and iphone.

Found the rigid garmin one caused read issues when I was cold
or there was a strong headwind cooling everything donw – might
have been not enough sweat ??

back to no bike … had thnought that 2 stents had fixed the angina,
sadly not the case :(

if the Bokeh is half the bike I suspect it is it’ll be brilliant.
I have the Definition and have to say, having ridden a few (!!) bikes
over the years, it’s by far and away the best at just about everything
I’ve owned.

Go talk to Dom and get a demo potter :)

I’ve heard “talk” that the Open is a little lifeless to ride, but not
having ridden one can’t comment.
