Perfect thanks

Thanks Steve I will give him a shout, I understand there is lots of places to stay just wondered if anywhere provided a complete package where they ran accommodation and also provided what I’m looking for in guides and coaching.

Although I could be being over suspicious of the fork saying that so am happy to be corrected

Us your headset installed correctly?? Sounds a bit odd if its the forks….I would be looking for cracks in the crown

Iv never even heard of carbon paste but suppose its worth a shot.

Thanks again guys

Post looks like its just come from the shop however I suppose the inside of the seat tube is smothe….think I will try a different post before I rough the inside of the tube up though as that could cause a very small but still possibly problematic loss of material

Ah great news that was beginning to worry about my frame!! Looks like it time for a new post!

Carbon paste sounds like a good idea, where do I get some…..I will try google :D

The seat goes up and down a fair bit as its on my AM bike…..yes the clamp is lined up with the cut in the frame

Ah good shout! I will try sort out a vernier and give it a try! It’s a cheap SDG post so could be the issue! May try the old post back in for a bit or order another just to try

thats what im trying to work out……what do people see as overprice, you are correct everyone’s opinion is going to be different but its nice to see what the overall view is.

Im doing this research as I find the cost of a lot of sporting products (not just cycling items) ridiculous and have an interest in what others may think.

Nothing sinister as your comment appears to insinuate…….. apologies if im incorrect

Pete your a hero!! Apple tv now streaming through the iPad!! I owe you and the wife beer tokens!

Cheers man, so I take it you have apple tv turned on, start viewing over iPad a then select something in the status bar??

Ii will be using the redbull tv app to view but want it on my tv……….I know that the iPad 1 can’t mirror through apple tv but does the app work with AirPlay through apple tv

Indeed I could fly out with my bike bag and bring it back with me for less, couldn’t bring it back as a new bike though ornibwould still have to pay :evil:

Not worth it. The saving is as good as gone once her magesty takes £1058 off me to bring it into the country. Don’t think it’s worth the hassle, cheers for the link that was perfect

buy one and love it :lol:

if you looking for a car that drives well and carries the family around its the boyo although i would most likley buy a golf GTi but purely because im a VW boy

other options if you didnt want to spend much, and they are a fair bit less than the ST is a megane 225 but all depends what your after, hope that helps you a little

/\/\/\ couldn’t agree more /\/\/\

to be fair CRC run products at huge discounts anyway, im certainly not opposed to getting emails offering me further savings if i spend a little more than i might have done, at the end of the day its beneficial to all of us as consumers

agree with most of the above, check out the park tools site and also youtube, loads of vids showing how to index gears and the satisfaction of getting it done yourself is priceless, im self tought and i now love working on bikes, just finished a full strip down and rebuild service for my mate inc headset fitting etc…good times

try get a coppy of this: park tool big blue book

and use this as another resource: park tool tech help

put yourself some time aside at the weekend and go for it :mrgreen:

As above all the signs of contamination right there mate, get the brake cleaner out and give those discs a good clean and change the pads

Shabby flats are what I always run, have to admit they make the bike look some what shite though

lol cables do seem to be a bit of a off topic with most :lol:

whats going on with those pedals? are they the above mentioned “powergrips”

cant see that fork change making much difference to be honest

Sorted, got 3 wigwams at glentress for the weekend i wanted so its job done………

tried the other reccomended accomodation but all either full or too small

tim the tiny horse, not an original nme but its the name and team name i like to go by :D

repesenting north east england

Ok cheers, ordered mine Wednesday, had confirmation email but no tracking number and no shock as yet, I presume having the shock push tuned delays the dispatch

Thanks for all the help guys got sorted :-)

Yeah everything has been sent through eBay, he had a feedback of 6 at 100% so not amazing but thought I would give him a go, have had 0 response from him so should be a clear cut case……sick to detach of no bike due to no shock so I’m almost on the verge of buying new from tf as shocks to fit 05 enduros are hard to come across

Consider a cyclocross bike perhaps, at least then you know that the bike will ride properly with drops, just a though

Yeah the whole of fall line is sadly in a mess at the moment, it’s the only one of the “off piste” trails I ever found at gt thus the reason for this thread…….might have to head up fr a scout around to see if I can find the other two (I won’t be riding if closed) but still after some clues, been watching a few vids and secrets looks good

Take it the fall line is the uber steep trail down to the ponds?? Love that trail! Had a few less experienced mates out with me not so long ago who thought they could kill it but instead killed themselves lol

Closures are all good I don’t want to damage anything, just need a clue as to where secrets & lies / broon troot start……what is the super steep straight line trail that comes out at the little lake?

Note to other posters mentioning inners, I ride there plenty too so if anyone knows any of the natural stuff there I would love to see some of that too

Guys thanks for all the advice, I spend a fair amount of time in the GT/Inners being from Newcastle so just looking for different things to ride when I’m up, planning a stag weekend up that way mid June so would like a couple of variations like secrets etc to keep things interesting especially worth a couple of days riding…..will be stealing clear of anything like secrets in the wet if they are easily damaged as I k ow we hate people riding our local trails when wet as it causes too much damage just wanted to try find the trail entrances ready for the short dry season we get,

ijs445ra – I will drop you a email later today when I’m not browsing from a phone at 5:30am, I havnt re-read anything iv written above but no doubt it makes no sense (I can barley keep my eyes open this jour on NS)

Cheers

Keep feeding me these trails guys I’m always game for riding new trails

i love forums and the bitching that goes with them :P

yeah the rear shock will be changed soon as its a pile

well its a project so watch this space

because its mine and i love it…………
