    every review and press release i saw mentioned this… plus if you already had a bb30 chain set you would have just slotted them in and not noticed, so how do they know what size you already had?

    I know it is a bit annoying but you can’t really blame hope.

    Even if it is 60 per tyre, that means if you do a wheelie it will explode and kill you (maybe)

    I deal with warranty claims and my answer would be A.

    If you buy something second hand with 99% of stuff you don’t have a warranty, only hope would be if the original owner were to make a claim with proof of purchase I would be none the wiser to who currently owns it.

    10mm gap is definitely not ok. You want about 3mm ideally, as above if 10mm shorter than the TOP of your stem, then you need a stem with a stack hight of about 33mm or below.

    I got overtaken on a blind corner by two cars, wouldn’t like to of think what would have happened if something came the other way, I’m not sure “I better not swerve back into the correct lane there is a bloke on a bike there” would have been their train of thought…

    Then another overtaking on a blind crest past parked cars and then overtaken under a bridge/corner pushing me almost into a wall!

    All in a 3 miles commute home where I use a pavement/cycle lane for at half the journey.

    Usually I don’t have much issues but today was terrible.

    Also mavic charge the dealer that sends your wheels back £10 each time for postage back to the shop, so if you didn’t buy from there then the shop would probably charge you this. Obviously still worth having the MP3 but just to factor this in

    I spent a week recently riding my 24″ jumpbike to work from a hotel whilst working away. Was only 1.5 miles and it really hurt my ankles! might just be because it has crap pedals and I’m fat…

    but it was quite fun when not in a rush and messing about

    The set up after the bleed is also very important to the feel, you want the rotor centred in the caliper not the pads, this gives even pad wear and prevents a spongy feel.

    Sorry to disappoint but if the dust is just on your fork and/or shock and not anywhere else then that is still mud… it just gets heated up enough to dry out faster than the rest.

    Renthal don’t make the bars in the UK…
    And orange don’t make their hardtails here and a FS would mean you need a shock which wouldn’t be UK made.

    Done some measuring and im 99% sure it is a last cord. Now I just need to sort it out and get some parts worthy of the frame.

    Not sure who wins the prize?

    Last is a good shout the chain tensioner is the same as the ones they use!

    Shame the spare ones are half as much as I paid for the bike 😆

    Why does it matter?
    why were you searching for the exact same bike as the one you sold on ebay?

    Sounds like you are just wasting time

    My Mrs and mum had a big fight before and I didn’t see my parents for nearly a year until everyone calmed down and it has been better since.

    Either nicked badly.. Or

    Sometimes if spesh can see from pics something is obviously warranty etc then they just ask for pictures of the part made unusable/unsellable rather than sending it back…

    Yes but always mention it. Also they will pay out absolute minimum for the car if you claim if it is previously written off.
