  1. When I used to ride freeride I spent a lot of weekends in devon an miltonkeynes. I clocked up 30000 miles on my car in one year. No problem living on my own . But now i have a mortgage I can't travel like that anymore. But if some of us pull together and car share some of the comps there's no problem. And yeah we really do need more local clubs so there can be more comps we can attend
  2. I am sure there meant to have a longer bb
  3. eat more pies and smoke more fags win some comps high on pie smoke
  4. you need a longer bb or your frame is bent. is the bb the original spec?

    Crack Help!

    drill small holes at each end of the crack and have someone weld the crack, then run a seat post which goes a long way into the frame. this crack is common if someone uses a frame that is too small for them. i think a repair should be ok jaf bikes do frame repairs and will advise you better
  8. if there heavy and expencive then they should be strong. thats how i look at it. cheap and light then snappy
  9. arent honda bringing out a new 1.6 turbo s2k
  10. Surely you can just install the headset with your bare hands
  11. singapore isnt a bad thing, shimano parts are made in malaysia which is practicaly the same country, its more expencive to produce parts in singapore than malaysia or china. i would happily back parts from singapore as being just as good as parts from taiwan. really the cost to you and how many are sold worldwide reflects the quality more than the place its made thou.
  12. Braided hose is used on dh bikes to cool the brakes. The regular hoses are rated to much much more pressure than bike brakes operate at.
  13. This one is the fanciest bike yet packed with all the best parts yet. 2013 hot yes hot rock.
  14. Fit regular hope hoses those braided ones are heavy. What tyres are fitted. I use a schwalbe now joe folding front its got good grip and light. The small block 8 is lighter but less grippy.
  15. It's pretty original condition. Would have cost around £2500 new the forks have had s recent fox service. What he is asking is about close but I would say try him for. £1000 or get something more mainstream spesh giant trek kona ect you can get the same SPEC for about £500-600
  16. I am going to try and get some of the xc lads at work to enter the mtb class I am going to try and get some of the xc lads at work to enter the mtb class
  17. The closer the stem is to the top of the headset bearings the less stress there will be in the steerer tube. Loads of stackers like that is sure to cause a lot of leaverage and stress on the steerer tube. But there may possibly be some truth in having some spacers to allow some flex to reduce high stress points. But I don't really know just guessing
  18. B & q bargain angle grinder £20 best buy value for money for you brakes
  19. shame i missed this i will have to get out for the next one
  20. Everyone on here has a bike that is illegal to use on the public highway. PEDAL REFLECTORS are a legal requirement for all bikes and unicycles. All the bikes I took pics of have no pedal reflectors so I am dammed to a heafty jail term oh no
  21. i say 565cm theres for guessing
  22. It's because the nhs closed the mental hospitals in staffordshire.
  23. To remove the gear disc that would mean removing the cassette and if the customer wanted it back on removing the cassette again. Jmcd is spot on that's what the topic is about. If I made the rules all these bike would have none of the reflectors and guards. If you are on the road buy some lights. A guy came in to get some reflectors the other day . So he could ride on the buzyest road here at night a pitch black 60mph road with just reflectors is he jokeing.
  24. Even though there not fitted we do ask if the customer wants them fitted before the bike leaves the shop
