Don’t waste your time with the new trail centres. You need to sample the riding properly with a tour round all the natural stuff. 24 hrs wouldn’t be enough.

I’ve done it with forks before. Take your time and loads of thin coats is my only advice.

Turned out fine. Took ages sanding them down and making sure they were smooth

Am I the only one that thought it was crap?

Betd do one for intense bikes. I used it to replace a maxle on an orange five. Superstars are a different thread pitch to maxles

No dispatch or order confirmation but I can confirm they did arrive

Mine arrived this morning. I’m usually a 32 waist. Went for a medium. Waist adjusters all the way in they fit fine. Any thinner and I’d say you’d need a small.

Seem to be a great pair of shorts. Not as heavy duty feeling as my old sombrio epiks.

With all the different variations of fork oil viscositys out there i’d say you’d be safer going for the recommended stuff. I think the damper oil for then fit cartridges is silkolene 10wt. But the lowers lube is different stuff.

Loco do the fit service kits. Think that’s the only place you can get them. Not sure of mojo sell them separately

What are you currently running? Do you like them?

I’ve had avids and shimanos. And never got on with the shimano xt’s. Loads of power but no feel compared to avids. But they are easier to look after.

Going back to avids personally from shimano xt’s

Thru pins the pin is accessible from the other side so easier to chane if they are damaged. Slightly heavier but make a lot more sense

The seals on the lever end are just two orings from what I’ve seen when I took one apart. Should be able to pick them up handy enough. As for the sponginess, definitely a lack of oil. I found it tricky enough to get it topped up. There’s a guide online somewhere which was handy

Would have said that’s fixable with a new cage and new mech bolt?

Did the exact same about three years ago on a home crankset. They’re still going strong with no issues

Wee drop of soapy water helps

Mate has these rims. They are the worst rims ever for fitting tyres. Only advice is perseverance!

Three weeks in chamonix last summer climbing and stuff. Or a week in bled, Slovenia. Slovenia is unreal definitely recommend it!

No problem with airwaves here.

I’ve had two contis explode for no apparent reason will never use them again

Get it strapped up nice and tight now and ice it.

Tomorrow take the strapping off and start forcing yourself to walk normally on it. Full roll of the toes and all that. Also rub across the point it’s sore with a fair bit of pressure.

This is provided you haven’t broke anything

You need the spacer. Shimano 10 speed is 1.25:1 so won’t work without it.

As for the suggestion to buy a new shifter, he then needs a new cassette and chain. Not everyone can afford to shell out on a full new drivetrain at once

The new xt brakes use a different inner diameter hose. Pretty sure the outer diameter is the same. Not sure whether the brakes will work well with mismatched lever and calliper though.

Never got on with troy lee fit. Royal gloves and 661 seem to fit better. Giro are surprisingly comfy too

Is your qr on the right way round? Seen people have the comps the wrong way round and not being able to clamp properly.

A merino blend top was never going to be very water resistance. After you washed it did you reproof it with nikwax softshell proof or something similar?

What about the mega am on Crc with cane creek double barrel for £900. Seems like a bargain to me

I bought five fronts for about a tenner once. Can’t complain with them. Although I do pop the seals off every so often and repackage with grease.

They’ve lasted over a year without needing changed

He was actually speaking in Gaeilge, or Irish, not Gaelic as mentioned before.

I was listening to his speech. He was thanking people for their support and also enforcing his will for peace on the island. Can’t tell you what else was being said as the bbc starting commenting over it. He was never going to give the full press conference in Irish as the common language is English. Some ridiculous statements being made.

Personally I feel this was a backward step. I felt he could have been interviewed under caution without the huge media frenzy around it. All it has done, for the time being anyway has pissed off both sides of the fence. One sides saying how dare they arrest that man, whereas the others saying how date they release him. This is just heightening tensions at a time when things aren’t really the best. With the failure of the haas talks etc.

You’ve also got to remember, a lot of people can’t see beyond what’s happened to their own ‘side’. Until people can acknowledge that both sides in the conflict did some terrible things and not everything was lawful then there is always going to be tension.

Hopefully things keep progressing as they have been, and I never have to be stopped by a soldier to question where I’m going again.

But this is just my opinion. Everyone’s entitled to their own but don’t feel you have to belittle someone because they have a different view on things.

Try crcadorfows

Check for a leaking brake hose or piston. Could be brake fluid getting onto the brakes

I would have said atherton was just respecting his national anthem?

I find the superstars don’t fit my xt properly. They move about slightly in the calliper when braking. Still work ok, but rattle.

Also important to note that many of the original fighters for irish freedom were from the Protestant community.
Wolfe tone, Parnell etc. worth doing some research before accusing a section of Christianity. It was never a fight to prove who’s religion was right, it was a fight to free an area of Ireland from British rule, or vice versa. It was a fight over land not over religion.

What about all the radicalised Protestants that were involved with the uvf, uda etc.

Ordered a similar quantity the other day and some sp41 outer to go with it. Should last a while!

Sorted

Read a recent review of av just can’t remember where. It ranked Mse very poorly. Personally use avg and malwarebytes

Haven’t dealt with those particular wheels, but a lot of hubs use a 12 or 11mm to tighten the freehub onto the hub body

18″ here and I’m 6 foot. Wouldn’t want it any bigger.

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/stendec-easy-glide-fork-grease/rp-prod3150 for the butter and have a look here for alternatives http://www.peterverdone.com/archive/bikesuspension.htm

Pretty sure you need the deore hose bh90 of they’re the m785 brakes

Ye that’s what I thought. But I near had it shifting ok, thought the cable was a bit sticky though. After some more googling i think shimano 10 speed is 1.25:1 whereas SRAM is 1:1.

If you do get a remap and it isn’t declared are insurers able to pick up on it if there is a crash. Reason I ask is a mate bought a car which on the book was 110bhp but had definitely seen a remap at some point in its life and was a hell if a lot faster, but to him it was sold stock.
