AndrewEH1 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Was that in reference to the cake? I had made up 4 big chicken, bacon, cheese and salad wraps to keep me going, ontop of some Go-gels (which I usually hate the thought of using but swallowed my pride) but ate three of them on the train on the way up. Doh! I stopped at Rowardenan and had a big munch from one of the stands at the Sportive event. Best "festival food" ive ever had. Yup, although the Green Welly is a f**king rip off of a tourist trap so I'm not annoyed that you managed to steal some cake! That's a classic move with the wraps though, I would have eaten them all though cause I'm a greedy b*****d... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Lol, I remember the good old days when it was a smallish shop. They don't do bad considering the location! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 New frameset and crankset. Pure Fix Cycles Keirin Pro frameset and Sram Omnium crankset. Changed from the Dolan I had which was a bit big. This is a 52cm frame and it feels pretty good. Got some adjustments to do here and there. Might change the bars to some kinda horn type bars so I'm bending over the front so much. Weighs about 8.54kg which isn't bad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Built myself a dh rig ready to take on Whistler this summer. I'm also taking out this bike, it's little brother. Well chuffed with how they both ride. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The replacement for my 7 year old Commencal Meta 5 arrived yesterday! The build will be finished tonight and I will post photos when I get a chance. @Duncy, we will have to meet up for a ride when you're out here!

forteh Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Marzocchi 44 rc3 ti forks have arrived and blimey they're a bit nice Got a bit of work fiddling with brake adaptors, calipers, rotors and axle spaces but that's not a major inconvenience!

forteh Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Tartyadam is a gentleman Machined some pro2 spacers to suit my 20mm bulb hub, he did have a proper drawing though! 30 minute turn around from issue of finalised drawing edit: oh and hope post mount to is adaptor modified, for some reason hope machine them so that a single radius doesn't clear the post mount on marzocchi forks, 3 minutes with a half round file and all good! Helicoiled the clamp bolts on the sunline v1am stem I got for a fiver Edited April 23, 2015 by forteh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Marzocchi forks fitted, sunline stem fitted, 205 front rotor fitted, 185 rear rotor to fit once I've swapped the caliper. Bike looks really focused with the longer forks and shorter stem, axle spacers should arrive tomorrow Added bonus, the top cap adjusters on the marzocchis are far lower profile than on the rebas so are miles clear if the downtube unlike any other forks I've fitted to the frame.

forteh Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's only a tiny amount that needs to come off, seems a bit daft that hope haven't updated the program. Instead they categorically state that it doesn't fit later marzocchi post mounts but then doesn't say what years is defined by 'later'. It's all lies because it can be made to fit in minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 It amazed me that the bolt holes to mount to the forks are slots so that it's adjustable when A, I had to run it all the way over or it caught the rotor, and B, once the caliper was bolted to the mount you couldn't access one of the bolts into the fork to adjust it anyway???

Mikee Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Still a WIP, but it is rideable now. Had a short but very hilly, mostly off road ride on it the other day. It reminded me how unfit I am but the bike was good. Decided against dual HS33s as I realised that having one on the front wasn't very practical and I wasn't happy with the overall performance. The BB7 on the front won't be staying though and I may still stick a HS33 on the back. Edited April 23, 2015 by Mikee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably from fitting the shimano caliper onto the hope adaptor, it's all perfectly clear with my number5 mini. I've not got any shims between the caliper and adaptor yet, it's close but might get away with it depending on how the axle spacing works out. edit: the axle spacers fit perfectly, so if anyone wants some 20-15mm bulb adaptors machining I've got a proper drawing so suit I needed to space my IS caliper off the post mount adaptor with 1mm shims to ensure the adaptor clears the rotor but it's all good otherwise.
