Mine are pretty ancient, just never thought of them as a 'consumable'

Lots of Specialized being discounted by my local shop, £3000 down to about £2250 as i recall

Perhaps you should have queried his right to drive a 4×4 on a bridleway. After all it might not have been his land and he may not have a had a right to drive there, take his number and let him know that you are supporting the farmer's right to keep the use of the bridleway across his land to legitimate users.
How could he complain if you were trying to protect his rights :-)

Shimano is about £25, Hope about £70 so your break even point is if the Hope lasts about 3 times as long. I get about 2 1/2 years from a Shimano, so Hope is not looking to be a good bet for me.

Sounds like its an ex-club then!

I run my Soda with 100mm Rebas and it runs great.

Also interested to know how to change to 115mm in 20 minutes, just to try it out

I used Macpack for both mine and it was excellent, did both from about 9 months to about 3 1/2 years, then it was me that gave out. After 7 years of use it still looked good and went for about £80 on ebay – meaning that the effective cost was low even though it was expensive to buy.

Cheers, I'll give the Moneydance free trial a go

Cant do the 12th – biking mate is getting married!

Maby next time

Sounds good to me, I can just about cycle to the ferry if necessary. Which date is this converging on?

Hundred acres has lots of good tracks, but best to avoid weekends as the best stuff is all technically waymarked footpath!

Remove it, clean both sets of threads, apply a little grease – try again, good luck

That was what I was thinking of, just wanted to check before making a mess of things :-)

Surely you want a Rocket 3 engine. No shortage of torque from a 2.3l motorcycle engine

Crappy muddy South Downs!

All is working fine. Suppose I should just carry on and then change the whole lot in one go!

Not too impressed with the rings though, only done about 5 months!

All MS stuff is the same. Other stuff seems to go across easy enough, even mix'n'match on a network seems to work fine. Only sticky bit is transferring calander appointments and address book stuff, but not too much hassle

Done this twice, staying in Les Gets. Works really well, the only problem was me itching to get onto a bike and do some trails!

Run mine on low power pointing straight up, reflects off of the ten roof a bit like an uplighter

Very happy with my Wild country Halo 7+4. Bit of a bungalow, but really well made and nicely thought through. Monsterously heavy (~32kg), but the car can take it!
Paid about £275, but good quality kit

Thanks Jim

Mine runs rebas.
Really pleased with it.

SPuD

Post it on a bike forum and get Peter into biking

Phew, no Large Mojo, so a tough decision averted :-)

My SSC BB lasted 6 months (I must be lucky) but normally get ~ 2 years out of a Shimano one so not really a good way to save money. pretty colour though

Sorry to be ignorant, but what does ‘pump a bowl@ mean?

None on a Soda

I suspect that this is a fake intended to stir things up. I believe that it contains a factual error that may reveal this, as far as I am aware ‘people of the faith’ includes Jews and Christians as all three faiths believe in the same god – just different ways to appreciate him. Happy for someone with a stronger theological background to correct me.

Anyone got a way round the Amber pedal reflectors? I have some reflective ankle bands, but technically not on the pedals

Run my Soda with 100mm and its great, might try hopping the rebas out to 115mm when they next need a service

Cheers Alb. email snet

You get them from here Sodabut only when they are in stock…. June?

No owners out there?

Look like Shimano’s standard price list for later this year :-(

If cage you can just replace with ball bearings from Halfords for about £3, works fine if a little more fiddly than the cage

Good point, I suppose it would make wheel removal easier. As well as leaving a common design with the deraileur models ;-)

Marins are prone to creaking because that boxy Al tends to amplify sound!
It could be the BB, not necessarily knacked, but might just need removing and then replacing. Also check rear QR, and seatpost. The noise travels well through that frame

Thanks, much more info that the big S managed1
