Got a set of scott trail BOA system shoes you can have for £60 posted have a removable spd cover so you can use them for flats as well. Very smart shoe but perfect balance of comfort and pedal efficency. They are brand new never worn. Email tony18@hotmail.co.uk if interested

got myself some hope floating rotors and continental x king protection tyres to finish off my build :D

Not technical at all, but masses of grip on pretty much every tyre i have used there last time was maxxis ignitors but nobby nics or the like will be fine for the sharp ( ish ) climbs which are very short.

But even though its not technical its bloody fantastic the speed you can do around it its like being on roller coaster but your in control the small jumps come very naturally and its just a smile inducing fun trail centre.

The north shore part is just a slightly raised platform about 6 ft high but about 3 ft wide so plenty of space to put feet down its roller able.

i can notice the difference in carbon bars and seat post i would thoroughly recommend them for a alu hardtail.

daveyboywonder i have a medium focus mares pro like the 1 posted above which has been ridden about 6 times supposed to cost £1000 but you can have it for £600 + postage or pick up ?

email me for pics tony18@hotmail.co.uk

So who is doing it on a cross bike? Are they allowed ? I dont remember seeing a single 1 last year but i fancy having a go at it on 1.

Are you allowed to just turn up and register there ?

Its a good ride mate nothing really challenging about it. 1 tough climb at the end but its fairly short. I made a big mistake of not eating enough through the ride so make sure you take enough food put some snakesize bits in ypur rear jersey pocket and just keep eating little and often. I learnt my lesson the hard way.

had 1 of the new sram gutter seal gxp bb wobbly bearings within 3 month’s terrible.

got hope and its smooth and without rattles as it should be 7 months later :D

my advice would be get as much kit you can from the likes of stanley, irwin, bacho etc cable cutters for example for a cheap set of bike specific brand your looking at around £10 and they will be blunt in no time. Irwin on ebay are £10 and they will last you forever quality made and can be resharpened. same with spanners, Allen keys, sockets.

Only bike specific parts i would buy would be HT2 tool or any other bottom bracket tool.

I got my own headset removal tool made from a stainless steel tube and the same with the cassette removal tool.

I am not even impressed with park tools stuff seems like overpriced stuff to me.

Jagwire teflon coated are a couple of quid on ebay use them all the time

Mine were finein washing machine just dont put it on a high heat.

Why not go 10 speed slx from rose bikes or xt if you can afford it, its so cheap from rose bikes for the new 2012 stuff

tried to get them from a bearing supplier and they said the a manufacturer only product.

Its usually warped disc’s that cause judder in the brake when they were done did they use cheap disc’s ?

Had the galaxy and then used a iphone 4 and that was pretty much it got 1 from 3. The galaxy is a good phone but it does have some silly issues which is purely because of the variations in the amount of cross platforms it uses.
Not to mention the iphone is a ipod too so i sold my ipod and made a bit of cash back.

as above new 2012 XT for 130 quid bargain !

just get some £2 velox tape just incase.

as above or thin filling knife tapped in then use chisel to get it off wont wreck the crown of the fork then. :D

Another vote for rebas in the 100-120mm category

Cynic-al i didnt say gym i said circuit training including sqauts. Lunges, sprints etc etc no weights used at all its increased my aerobic threshold ten fold so doing hill sprints is a hell of a lot easier than it used to be.

I was doing 100 odd a week at 1 point 30 off road miles rest commute and i started to slowly get worse. I have started doing circuit training instead and it seems to be helping more than hundreds of miles did. Still doing around 30-40 miles a week aswell though.

The canti’s on my cx have been fine can lock the back will easy enough. Just spend alot of time getting them set up right.

as above or new xt from rose bikes for around £120-130 brilliant got mine today :D

there must be a reason on the ticket?

What did you go for?

terrible imo hated being with them for the whole contract.

Best prices your get are from folkstone fixings on ebay no where comes close. They are from a shop too so full uk warranty. I got a bosch professional impact driver and drill with 2 x lithion ion batterys for £200 new .

Yeah it will work mate a double specific would do the job better but you wont have any problems

the m666 are another 25% more powerful than the m665 though so i am pretty sure there match the formulas. from rose bikes there like £120 …

why not get them from merlin? sign up to vip for free and get 10% off too, also merlin have the 2012 revelations for £300 .

Removing the on one smoothie is really easy it knocks out with afew taps. I fitted a hope 1 on mine as my on one kept getting rough too

I saw your frame njee you had a diffirent 1 to the 1 he posted i belive . Trust me on this 1 its worth not taking the risk on the guy will only warrant the frame for 6 month’s as well

Its not laid up thick at all its very light indeed but when you see 1 in person you realise why.

Cable cutters get irwin off ebay as there twice as good as the brands on chain reactions and half the price, samw goes for allen keys etc irwin and stanley will be better and cheaper.

My dad brought 1 of them frames, the bonding that holds the seat post collar in snapped so the seat post wobble the bb insert creaked, the headset didnt fit in properly and sat to far out the cups. Serously spend abit more and get a carbon 456 from on one or a whippet.

I think thats the theory as mine is a 40/26 so a outer and mid.

Yeah normally around 50mm on the triple and the double 48mm so 2mm inboard i think

Xt 2012 double from rose bikes is 130 :-)

Nice simple answer :-) cheers
