I haven’t got an escapade but do have a Cotic >X<, with mudguards, bottle, lights and 28mm gatorskins on it comes in at 13.2kg and thats in size large

Still using my first gen Cotic >X< which must be the original gravel bike long before the phrase was coined. it’s had 3 drivetrains, on it’s 2nd set of wheels, everything except the frame, headset and seatclamp has been replaced been used for guiding, singletrack, commuting and exploring

Most versatile bike I’ve got :)

Good Afternoon

that’d be greatly appreciated happy to pay postage and cost of materials

Thanks for the reply I hadn’t heard of them I’ll have a look

Thanks for the reply, I’m happy to pay costs and postage, only one way to find out if it will fit

Hmm, buying new so will have to get shimano rotors and use them until they’re out of warranty

thanks for all the info guys, all sorted now and cost nothing :)

thanks for the quick responses guys

I’ve already tried the existing aerial and it pick sup nowt :-(

Good news, looks like the wheel has finally arrived :) shame he’s missed 6 weeks of half decent weather to go riding :(

spoke directly to Silverfish last monday who assured him it would be posted to him (not the retailer) directly to avoid further delays and be with him for Wednesday. If they’d said we’re having problem with supply it’s going to be delayed that’s fair enough. I’ve dealt with Silverfish before and had mixed experiences.

I thought it was to do with helmet strap chafing avoidance 8O

I wouldn’t say unreliable, things go wrong especially with the amount of abuse things get in this country. Other companies would’ve said sorry you’ve had it over a year what do you expect, it’s one of the first LED4’s and I’m suprised it’s lasted this long, kudos to the guys for sorting it :P

bump for the daytime crowd :-)

the nexus is designed for a roller brake so it’s got weird fitting :(

Many thanks, know what to expect now.

many thanks I think the germans have it at the moment

Mk1 Escort Mexico I had sounded ace and shook every window in the house on tickover :D

Many thanks for wise words from you all, rutland had the hilo at a good price and a bit of cashback thru quidco so I’ve gone for that.

why not the classic, just looking at the prices on chain reaction big difference between classic and turbo prices

Loads of good trails around Beamish, we ride every wednesday night and Sunday check out http://www.beamishoddsox.co.uk

Hmm sounds like a solaris would be ideal then, do you think :lol:Stu at the Dalesbike centre would lend me his :lol:

Hmm choice is erring to the Soul at the moment then

Solaris ride great, wish I could afford one :(

Fortunate enough to have a yoeddy with sunsets on ringle hubs, only comes out to play on sunny days though :-)

Hi, drop me an email I’ve got a pair as I snapped my Flux, they’re in mint condition

first entry for me, 149 at 18:04 just as well I’d set an alarm as I was trashed after a days riding. Now to start some training

Oh if I must

Managed to fit 203 IS hope caliper to my mates Sektors with the A2Z adaptor, had to file the adaptor a bit. Got it from Clee-Cycles

If it’s a big repair these guys are good

Outdoor Gear Repairs

that’s cheered me up :)

Very Very interested, as I live round the corner from Zac I think I’ll be popping in to do a comparison.

Think I’ve got some MDF in the shed so I’ll get this one returned :)

whereabouts are you, I’ve just started back after a 6month lay off due to injury. the classes I go to are Vinyasa Krama, from what I can tell it’s got elements of Ashtanga and Forrest yoga in it. Anyway it’s great fun, excellent for developing strength, balance and flexibility. I was sceptical about yoga but really enjoy it and definately feel the benefits

the speakers sound good even if they do look a bit like a ladies pleasure toy 8O

RP23 takes a while to bed in more than a couple of weeks :wink:

Been riding my Large 2011 5Spot for the last few weeks and have to say it’s superb. Went from a TNT Flux to the 5SPot and although the toptube is shorter I don’t feel cramped. I’m running 150mm tapered forks with an inset top race and external Bottom race which slightly slackens the head angle but it still climbs like a scalded cat with no noticeable lift from the front end and point it down hill and it’s soo much fun.

Yep I’m still using a Silca track pump that I got in 95, if I was buying now I like the look of the Lezyne ones.

About 6ft and a bit, large soul and this works for me, think I’ve removed a spaced from the handlebars since the pic was taken :)

another vote for the Gore Phantom, Endura do a nice softshell to with an offset zip, can’t remember the model though :(
