    Toughend is stronger on the face the edge is the weakness. Its possible there is a screw head or a screw coming through from above and the ever so slight movement has caused it to touch the edge pf the glass.

    You will see when you come to replace it. Once the beads are taken out look for the culprit :-)

    The carbon 456 is great for the money its light, strong and will be great with 130mm forks ad that what i run for over a year . For 300 notes its bloody hard to beat.

    Paragon tapes on ebay. The matte finish matches the naked carbon frame perfect. It wont protect from rocks etc but it does stop it getting white scratches all over the matt finish.

    I have them been running them tubeless too. Fantastic tyre IMO not the best grip wise in sloppy mud but general xc and trail centre riding they are great.

    Shame you already ordered I want rid of my 2.4 as it bloody huge I have 2 of them I want rid of…

    They take time to get to seal as sidewalks are pourous but once sealed they are fine !

    Well just to let everyone know its been 2 months. Had 1 reply from chumba saying they would send me the decals and parts that simon said he would get me but i need to fill in the online payment form for them to send then.

    I sent an email explaining this shoul be a warranty matter and they should send them purely to show good customer service commitment but alas i got no reply that was well over a month ago.

    Simon has gone all quiet not contacted me since he said he will try and sort it out for me. Now i am worried because when the bushes wear etc what can i do ?

    I would love to recommend chumba to everyone because the bike rides great but i cant because the customer service and lack of interest to help and that fact that i might struggle to get parts make’s me feel gutted .

    I rode flats for a while then changed to spd i had afew tumbles but after a year and a half of constant use i find them fantastic i can clip out just as quick as putting a foot down it just becomes natural. I find them more efficient .

    I did not use to where a helmet at all until i became a father now i would not risk the chance of nobbing it all up for the sake of a ride.

    ive seen safe styles prices ive fitted double glazing for professionally for 7 years now and i can tell you they are overpriced for the quality to get.

    Even the cheapest of the cheap frames come with A* rating now just because there rated at A* for heat keeping dont mean there quality is any good !

    Just to let people know these have a cleat cover so would make a great flat pedal shoe to. With bait more foot support than your standard skate shoe.

    Used igniters last 2 x this time will use continental x king as grip is pretty much limitless there even if riding round it like a loon :-)

    Another top brand is ARBO but it’s harder to get from local stores very high quality sealant though knocks the socks of anything else I used except Dow Corning which I would say is around the same quality

    Been going a while I done it 2 year ago was good fun. Great atmosphere and some quite good bits. Feeling riding from top of the downs and seeing Brighton is fantastic

    The bb is typical 68/73 external bearing so hollowtech 2 or sram gxp for example.

    Conventional type front mech i troed top swing but it messes up if you run a small double set up as the bulge at the bottom pf the seat tube is in the way.

    The seat tube is a 31.6 with a 34.9 clamp.

    The new geometry is down to the new angleset headset they have made which allows you to make the head angle more slack

    You would have to drink alot of milk to match a proper protein shake. For 400 ml of milk you would be looking at around 13g of protein and 30 odd grams of sugar . For my protein shake per 400 ml is 40g of protein and only 10g of sugar and protein shake contains the amino acids for mucles too.

    I am currently using bc x king protection there fantastic not had a problem tubeless since I got them sealed they are well quick in the dry and certainly grippy enough. In the wet they have even surprised me and get me through sloppy mud too.

    They have done 500 miles or so mix of road/off road xc riding and they still look like new !

    It was simply the software that made the decision for me since android is across so many platforms certain things run better on 1 tablet but not so well on another. With the iPad I know everything I come across in the app store is pretty much a safe bet.

    I just downloaded auto desk sketch book pro and inspire pro which are drawing/painting apps and they are out of this world on iPad :-)
