@dan45a.. using a fox rp24 talas.. useful having the 100-120-140 availability. Cant wait to actually ride it, just been sitting looking at it in my hall for days.. will be a while though unfortunately. 🙁

yip so did i.. used a USE shim.. recently changed frame so selling one for a fiver including postage..

nope, frames right.. short torso..

yeh, 36 inseam will be the reason..

I had leki makalu’s.. couldnt fault them and reasonably light..

+1 for mira.. great showers and very reliable..

got to be blade runner…

job done.. 😀

I managed to do 8 miles on the road bike yesterday and that was about 3 1/2wks after my op. nothing too strenuous and no hills and all seated, just spinning out the legs..felt ok but knew when enough was enough! maybe try 9 or 10 miles next week.. 🙂

Not the best pic.. there carbon monkeylite’s.. 45mm rise.. 710mm wide with a 50mm(i think) hope stem..30mm of spacers under stem.

kl.. thanks for input folks. just going to leave it in the hands of the lbs.. not going to scrimp on a headset after spending that amount on a frame.. going for hope though!

Tapered steerer, definately going to go with hope.. just not sure about internal or external etc. Would probably just let Lbs sort it out but they’ll probably rape me price wise..:(

Would this be the one I’d need if I went for superstar?

Yip thats the one in the pic..

+1 for paisley freight..

It’ll be nothing like your US or Swiss trips, but it’s great if the whole area’s open.. make sure and try and get out to the glas maol side. If you get good weather it’ll be a great day. best bet is to check out

Wish it was me, im recovering from a hernia and probably not going to be able to board all season.. 🙁

Well.. just pulled the trigger on a yeti asr-5.Couldnt ride one unfortunately before i bought but ive been checking the geometry and its pretty similiar to my roscoe..worse case scenario is i sell it if i dont like it. Will swap over what i can from my roscoe, looking forward to the new bike!

@andyl.. i also looked at that frame, but wasnt sure between that and the 575. not familiar with yeti’s so not on the ball with regards too what suits what better 😕

Yeh i noticed that.. its 6 years old though. another £300 and i could get the 2012 one..been scouring the i/net all weekend.

In hindsight i would have used paintstripper and not sand paper to uncover the area, i agree that this doesnt make it very easy to spot whether its a crack or not. I definately thought it looked like a crack, but if i hadn’t known of the previous history of frames cracking in this area i probably would not have thought this.The chainstay has seen better days.. im still waiting on my lbs getting back to me & tell me whether or not there are any stays left in the company or not. I dont think i would feel too safe cycling on that frame anymore. My ideal situation would be too swap all my running gear onto another frame but i’ll have to save up some pennie’s first! The yeti does seem a great deal but not sure of an lbs near me that stocks them, will have a look..

Wll do.. just didnt have one to hand..

Well i stripped the chainstay off the bike today and whilst doing this realised that the main pivot bolt was barely hand tight.. had it in for some work recentlty at the lbs so not very happy on that front. I thnk that the movement in the swingarm had caused the cracking in the paint which could have led to it cracking, but hopefully i caught it just in time.. rubbed down the area in question and there doesnt appear to be any crack..

bosch blades.. euro car parts if theres one near ya, cheap as chips and OE spec on most cars.

yip, had the same email recently.. never ordered anything so assuming it was a scam..

Its the talas 100-120-140..

I know that a lot of folk aren’t familiar with the g2 geometry but can anyone shed any light whether or not these forks would fit a 575, as i think im going to go down this route if i can transfer all my running gear over..

can anyone confirm if my g2 forks of my fisher would fit onto the 575, thinking of going down this root..?

Just looking at that yeti 575 on probikeshop website, my components would swap over wouldn’t they.. only difference would be that offset with the fork..but it would fit as its tapered. .?

ooft.. £750 for a 575..!

Yeh i know, not sure if thats a good thing or bad.. i think the offset just made the bike feel a bit ‘longer’ than it was.. very stable..

gonzy be me too it. i take it id have to be careful as too which frame i mated them too.?

Yeh i think so, im not 100% but i think the offset is 46 degrees. which i think is different from other fox forks..

Just been to lbs. as i thought, no joy with regards to warranty. There going to see if there are any chainstay’s left that i could purchase, but knowing that they commonly fail im not too desperate to aquire one. Im starting to think about buying another frame( not sure what yet) and transferring all my components. The only problem i might have here is i think my forks/shock might be bike/manufacturer specifiic, which will be a nightmare as ive just spent nigh on £300 with mojo getting the forks rebuilt..

It is a full suss.. and wont be able to get chainstay off until the weekend as the bikes at a friends house, but im pretty sure its a crack as im getting a lot of flex and theres loads of evidence here

Did this ride as part of the tour de ben nevis.. with some other bits thrown in for good measure! awesome day out.. great pics and brings back memory’s!

@rockhopper- thats exactly whay the general consensus is.. as peeps said above i dont think i’ll get anywhere with regards to warranty.. i know i wont know how bad it is until i get the swingarm off and have a look under the paint.. but do you think if a get a weld over it just now it’ll hold?

Yeh, thats my next step.. gutted when i saw it.. dont even think there will be any chainstays left at trek/fisher as so many of them have went the same way..
