  1. I've used cranks with inserts on mountain bikes before. In my experience the insert is there to protect the crank itself. The idea being that if you damage the threads you are only damaging the insert and not the cranks themselves, therefore you can just replace the insert and not the whole crank = much cheaper. Just tighten the insert back in and you should be fine. Maybe use some threadlock
  2. I wouldn't mind being shown around too if that's okay? I've recently moved to the area

    Ali C Vlog

    Vlog 45 is brilliant, has a good feel of messing about on your bike with friends
  4. Ha, that's amazing. Who was your mate? You might be seeing it again soon, I'm moving to Glasgow next week. Oh okay, I thought they were supposed to be like that haha. Riiiight, I'd always wondered why I have to run the adapter a size up from the disc. It doesn't cause any problems though, just means I won't be able to run a 203mm disc with a standard adapter. Do you know how old it is? What's the spec like now compared to when your mate had it?
  5. Upside down bars? That can't be nice to ride. This is my bike, looking at it now that front end looks sky high.
  6. From what Leon has said it sounds like everything I've done should make it harder, but so far it's made it easier. I'll post a picture tomorrow, Ross, once I've worked out how haha. I've just fired back a few pints of guiness after a hard fell run, so nothing productive will take place tonight
  7. I'm fairly new to trials and bought a bike off an experienced rider, I was using his setup but struggling to pick things up. I've started making changes to stem height, bar rise, bar roll etc but its slow progress as I'm doing it trial and error without knowing how the change will affect the ride before I make the change. He did have a very low bar on which felt like it was putting my weight too far forward, so I replaced that with a trial tech one with a lot of rise, instantly felt better. Ive recently rolled the bar forward quite a lot and my rear wheel hops have come on leaps and bounds. How will these things change the way the bike handles when riding trials/street?Stem length, stem height, stem angle, bar length, bar rise, bar roll (how far forward you roll the bar) Cheers all!
  8. Shimano make little figure of eight shaped things with lips on that stop disc bolts coming loose. Each one does two bolts, so three per wheel. You could try those
  9. I'm getting better. I played classical about 14 years ago so I think that's helped stuff come back to like positions and fingerings etc. I'm moving to Glasgow in February so I'm gonna go find a fiddle club
  10. I can't wait to get home and ride in the snow. What did he think of the show? In my opinion and everyone else I've spoken to; you didn't miss much.
  11. I've sent you a PM Onza but have just seen this. I can do this Saturday if the two of you can?
  12. And by that I mean does anybody play the violin? I started about a month and a half ago and am picking it up quicker than expected. I'm doing Irish fiddle stuff. Anybody else?
  13. Did anybody else go to this at the Kendal Mountain Festival? What did you think of it?
