:lol:
Thanks for the oFfer, but I was hoping for some guidance tonight, before the offer closes

I have a used UN73 one that feels pretty smooth you can have. A few spots of surface rust and the plastic insert has a lengthways crack – but still seems to tighten up nicely.
Biggest problem would be the cost of the postage compared to its value

Specialized hot rock 24" here, nice bike daughter loved it, just awaiting my son growing into it now.

Pretty sure illegal – Wireless telephony act?

Too rich for me :-(

OK, I know the XT will fit with the SLX cranks…. not so sure about the XTR
Fairly confident about the Hopes too

True, but choice is XT or XTR

OK, sounds like its the full lowers off then!

Will I need to buy new oil? Forks are currently un-used, so throwing it away seems wasteful.

Shimano seem to last me 24 – 30 months, seems OK for the price

Upgrading everything is going to cost more than buying new, unless you go for an ebay/classifieds special and only buy bargain bits – but then your bike will always look a bit, well, like an ebay special. Mine does, but then that does not bother me!

Remember that all the heat from a halogen is not necessarily wasted – I dont need a heater in my kitchen as the lights sort it out

OK, 11 dialed in

Lets see what happens

Interesting comment, I changed the channel from 6 to 7 a few days ago as there seemed to be a few local networks on 6, all seemed well for a few days so i had not connected it to this problem.

I was considering the same bikes a month or so ago. Never got to a test ride of either, but found the following reviews which gave me a bit of an idea.

Hope this helps

Another thing you might learn is that it will track inside on steep corners. My kids got very sharp at dodging bushes on the tow-along

Mine is fine with bikes, but cars…
"My car is old and its handling is dangerous, we need to replace it!" odd i thought, then checked the tyre pressures, the closest I found was a mere 9psi soft!

No expertise, but been using the Healthspan stuff for years and its always worked for me and lots cheaper than stuff from the high street http://www.healthspan.co.uk only downside is that they like to mail me junk every month

Looks like it is fairly localised and at least you found it quickly

Nice of Liz to do some publicity for Hope while she was at it :wink:

125 cubic metres in 5 days should be fairly easy to isolate – has a new marsh appeared?

With 853 stickers you could completely cover the bike – thus preventing rust, or at least seeing rust

Dont worry, all stickers prevent rust, just use another one

"botty big brother" – who's being evicted today!

Is being an Inbred 'annorak' a good way to make friends?
"er hello…. I see you have the early 2002 frame, thats the one with the original sliding drop out and the second generation white paint…… Do you want to be my friend?"

Day 6 and getting really bored of it now!

Thanks Mark that sounds like exactly the sort of 'controlled' experiment i was looking for, same fork, bike, rider style etc.

Thanks for the observation PJM, but was it on the same fork? Could the improvement have been due to other developments from year to year?
Just excercising my natural cynicism :-)

Its been that way on every computer I have had, Mac or Windows. I am sure there are lots of 'fixes' out there

So anyone know if the on-one Rebas can be run at 120mm?
Some say the OEMs are not adjustable, but then what does the 'Travel Adjust – All Travel' bit mean?

Easy vs £19……..
Sounds like easy and then grumble about the cost :?

The adaptor has a very positive 'end' to how far it will screw on, the pin is then about 4mm below the top of the adaptor. Guage has a round pin to pish onto valve, but nowhere near long enough to reach

Must be the style of adaptor I have; sort of a hollow tube that relies on greater pressure at pump end to push the pin in

Used to know both a Jo king and a Jenny Tailor

At 1850g its pretty light for the money! :D

If you do, put the grease on the threads not the pins :-)

Swinley was the one, thanks for the link

Is it worth the fee / driving 90 minutes to? the bike area looks really small

Webcam in the shed – then you can watch your bike as you post on here :-)
