Next to the till, in the shop?, where?

Sorry Smiffy but it would have to be quite a pair of tweezers, the pole is about 45cm long!

Serious wittling of a wine cork, the internal diameter is only about 4mm!

Yes, I can still put the tent up, but it now takes >30 minutes compared to about 5 when all wa nice and tight

Manufacturer offers replacement poles at £200+, not keen on this for a 10+ year old tent, but seems a shame to bin it for such a minor problem. I'll check out Lancashire.
Ingenious idea Stoner, might give it a ry in despiration, yesterdays attempt of cutting cord short and re-tying has been of limited success.

I thought it was all pretty well signposted, but then I did manage to loose it for a couple of miles – nice fast but and overshot.
Arundel YHA is nice, but the obvious trail to use to get there skirts a bog that might be grim at the moment

If the downtube is that wide, why do you need a crud catcher? Just let the tube shield you

All out of date according the the SRAM site.
RL
RLT
RLT Ti
is the new line up

In the old scheme SL was bottom of the range, I think Team was top

Box mines on Mendip? Never tried on a bike but the entrance should be just big enough

Paranoia getting to you?

To be fair they do describe it as a -12% saving!

Could not quite face it myself, looks like a Golf that has been at the pies, strange really as its just taller. I preferred the look of the Golf estate, but decided the Passat was better value in the end

Yes, the Lot valley. It does look hot at the moment!

Looks like a bargain, enjoy

Definitely the right size, very slow slip, about 5mm over 30 minutes of riding. Perhaps I just need to tighten the clamp a little

That's what I did, but seems to gently slip down now

May have traced mine to the rear QR, fettling that seems to have helped, I'll test it tomorrow

Just found my answer on the Thompson website, burried in a PDF

Cheers, I'll go and play

Been suffering much the same and its driving me nuts.

BB is fine, has been removed and replaced with extra copperslip and creak persists
Bars removed, clamp cleaned replaced – persists
Headset regreased – creak still there
Seatpost removed, cleaned and then just removed! – creak persists

Only while peddling under power and wont do it while stationary

1:25k always seem expensive, does it trial with any map data?

I wonder why I put the link in the middle of the word :-(

I use this, its a bit low range for some things, but shoParkuld be fine on carbon

Is a freehub wobbling like this necessarily a bad thing? Obviously not good, but it does not seem to be causing any issues and everything works OK.
No plans to gorilla anything, I'm torque wrench all the way :-)

Cheers, I try re-torqueing it tomorrow

XT hub, cassette moves if grabbed and pulled about – so i guess its somehow worked loose? can I tighten it via the lockring to sort this?

Is this the same as the ROM update?
Not much on the HTC website for non-windows users.

Settings…Security…Firmware download… gives a 'auto' or 'prompt' option, but no 'do it now' option, what am I missing? what is HTC sync?

I used a Trailgaitor for years and they work pretty well. A bit heavy and connect / disconnect is not as slick as it could be but pretty sound and good for miles on fire road material. Be careful on the first few tight turns, the towed bike tracks inside and you can drag then through bushes. Some of the gates in the forest of dean can be a bit tight for a trailgaitor

The tools work great with even the little ones. By far the best way

The widow maker has been rather tamed. Still interesting but much less lose and rutted than it used to be.

Stuff I was on had not been used by motorbikes

HCC – hampshire county council, they published a number of MTB routes a while back

So trying again, the track crossed the main route through the woods, also known as the sussex border path at about 756169, I went NW uphill

I was doing the old HCC route from QE that goes through the woods by Ditisham school and spotted a trail crossing the big forest track just east of where the other bridal way comes in. Went up there for a good 20 minutes and kept finding more, then ran out of time and came back. Reasonably easy to follow good Xc singletrack.

Just got a TZ7 and very pleased with it. Not tried action shots yet but lens, zoom and video are great.
The rotating dial is not as northwind describes, I think they fixed it mid last year.
Got mine for <£200 from Amazon which seems a good deal.
I decided against the TZ10 due to higher cost and few extra features I wanted, I believe the GPS flattens the battery rapidly!

Cheaper than XT, but much shorter life – not cheap enough to make them worthwhile

Name is tim and I live in the willows

Very tasty

Is applejack compatible with snow leopard?

Activity monitor looks OK, low CPU usage, 50% free HD, lots of free RAM and a slightly odd VM report of 129GB considering my HD is only 120GB!
Might give the new profile thing a go, but that wont improve the boot time which I am also sure is longer than it used to be

Already on Snow Leopard, did an update from Loepard

I went for the long and thin shape as this also allows bikes on the roof.
Size depends on how much you need to put in it – you do not really want it 1/2 full as stuff slides about. So size it to take lots of light stuff as there will be w wright limit of about 50kg.
Installation is pretty easy, just a big bulky thing to manouvre above your head.
No problem with second hand as long as all fastners are sound, you do not want it opening while on motorway!
