Team fortress> Options > Mouse> Enable gamepad? That's pure guess work, but I hope it works since iv just brought a Play and charge kit in the hope of using my Xbox controller...

ID: crashbanggg Still not got onto it

I downloaded this earlier, but it doesn't appear to want to load? When I click Play, it seems to just get stuck of the page with 'Retrieving server information, please wait...' on it. Any fixes? Or is it just my shit internet/ laptop?

It's a Mod, if you click the link in my signature it'll show you a picture of it As for riding... there is a bit, locally we usually go to Staunton Harold Reservoir. But there is obviously places further a field, the furthest I've been is Derby which has a few spots

Im in Melbourne (Just down the road from Ashby) and you're more than welcome to come and have a play on mine at some point, though I've snapped my chain, so it'll have to be when I get a new one... unless you wanna try some chainless trials?

Finally completely done! It now has a new front mech due to the old one being the wrong sort, that'd explain the shifting difficulties! All feels pretty good, a test ride is now needed...

It now has a regular colour/ type of chain as the orange one went kaput! Does anyone have any idea how much these are worth new? I can't find any information on it at all!

For contracts, look at Quidco and you may find some awesome deals. My current Orange SIM only contract has cost me £10 for the entire year. Unlimited texts and 300mins. Contract costs £10 a month = £120 a year Offer of £110 cashback from Quidco £120 - £110 = Pure Win.

I take back what I said earlier, it went to pot again. I think a bike shop is needed to look at it, my Dad and I are completely stumped!

Something really odd has happened... I got in just now and had a quick play on the bike and the gears worked perfectly, 'Oh Dad must have had a play' I thought, turns out he hasn't touched it! Must be the gear fairy? Tis' very strange...

Ok... My high adjustment screw is right out in order to let the mech go wide enough for the third ring. My barrel adjuster has to be unscrewed a very long way to allow for upwards shifts, but then its not enough for the downward shifts. It kind of works if I find a compromise position (Between 2nd and 3rd ring) but shifting up to 3rd makes a lot of grinding noises and takes a very long time to actually engage. And it wont shift to 1st ring at all. I've also moved the mech as low as it will go.

When I measured the chain up for size, ran it through the rear derailur as well as the largest cogs, however the park tools guide thing says to not run it through the rear delarriur: Shift the front derailleur over the largest chainring, and the rear derailleur on the smallest cog. Thread the new chain through the front derailleur. It is not necessary to thread the chain through the rear derailleur at this point. Simply wrap the chain around the largest front chainring and around the largest rear cog. Pull the chain tight, and note the closest rivet where the two could be joined. Keep in mind a chain can only be joined by mating inner and outer plates. From that I then assumed my chain would be too long as I ran it through the derailluer too? Edit: Your're right it seems ok, so I may as well leave it until it causes issues

I fitted it without taking any links out and did a rough putting it through the biggest cogs and deralliurs and it was ok. But lookign at this guide it says I don't need to put it through the rear deralliur, so I assumed that would make a big difference?

I'll have another crack at it tomorrow im sick of them now Another question: How the f**k are you meant to split those sram chains at the powerlink thing? The book iv got makes it sound as if it should slip apart no problem with minimal force...that isn't happening.

Everything on! Rear Gears: Shit Hot. Front: Absolutely awful but I cant work out why Simply doesn't appear to reach the third cog! And seconds a bit of a push to get in EDIT: Better picture

When running the full outer, do I leave the last little bit without an outer? As in the last little section of the mech. And would something like general purpose lube be sufficient for the inners? You can probably tell i'm completely new to setting up gears!

It would be a medium frame and the pedals would be black. Thanks for being vigilant!

New bits on! Now for the part im dreading... gears.

Thanks!

I have considered a shorter stem when on the old bike, but I guess time will tell wheter or not its needed on this one For the rear mech, how tight does the bolt that attach need to be? On my old bike I can swivel the mech where it attaches to the hanger freely but it isn't so with this one...

It's now got brakes on and one crank. Brake hose didn't even need lengthening! Just waiting on CRC order and the shifters which were sent today, so Thursday sounds like the target day!

Had my last exam today! AS Geography, I answered the wrong f**king question though for one section Let's hope I managed to blag it sufficiently...

Curry's Refurbished***. + You can get 3% cashback All in all, lots of laptop for little monies

Im doing a bit of pre bike building research, namely chain length at the moment. I watched this video about how to do it, however i'm not really getting how the chain should be positioned... Can anyone help?
