Unfortunately it is not a full suss frame, that was going to be the next extortionate upgrade but this is the last bit that needed replacing after i buggered it through jet washing :x People, don't do it! I'll post a pic later

Cheers Russ, brought meself a pair of them now. I cant make out if the Earth ones are the same but just a different colour.. Either way I went for black ones for £30
Abit like Andy really, cant afford to bugger up my knee again...0 -

Normal helmet, a full face is a bit much for general xc. I wouldnt mind getting one for some of the more extreme stuff.
I was working all day today, off out riding the next 3 days though.0 -

ok cheers for that hopefully it wont be a muddy bog down there :P0 -
Some bits of Kings Wood get quite muddy in the winter but it'd be worth checking out. Mostly bridleways there - not much singletrack to get lost on0

:shock: The saddle its its soo highhhh :shock: 0 -
Chris King Headset.
I see you still have that contraption chain sucking device one there, bring your work bench with you tomorrow so we can fix it when it goes wrong
p.s your saddle does look stupidly high? are you a roadie in disguise?0 -
Yep - second the headset. Thought it might be that as i remember you asking Mark about his
Andy's saddle is high because he has long gangly legs. I only say they're gangly because i'm jealous with my short stumpy legs
Anyway - night ride this week anyone?? Monday or Wednesday are good for me0 -
What he^ said about the legs. It's not my fault, i was born with them I could have gone up a frame size, but i wanted it small for the massive standover clearence. The saddle isn't THAT high anyway, i have seen others much higher. It's only a 350mm long seatpost.
Correctamondo on the Chris King goodness. The old one was so knackered it was dangerouse and i decided only this time last nght to get it changed, and Downlands were able to fit it today! If i had asked Herberts to do it i would be without a bike for a week :roll: I know it was BLOODY expensive, but it has a 10 year warrenty, so is one less thing to worry about replacing every 5 minuits.
Nick, as usual i am good any evening, but Wednesday is better for me this week as i am riding with Russ tomorrow.0 -
Good good. Ade - will you be able to join us? Any preference on which day? Wednesday is probably better for meandyturner28 wrote:Nick, as usual i am good any evening, and you will be glad to know i am a lot quicker than last Wednesday now0 -

Wednesday is probably better for me and due to this I am currently unable to lift a finger and am being waited on hand-and-foot by the missus. I hope I'll pull-through by Wednesday but there's a risk that I'll "do an Andy" and need to be carried back to the car while whittering random excuses.
I'll let you know Tuesday or Wednesday a.m. wether I'll be up for a ride.0 -
Sounds life threatening Ade Hope you pull through in time for Wednesday! 0

Do you know if that bash will work with a 38 tooth middle ring? I don't like mine and there are very few 38's about. And yes i will be bringing my BB tool tomorrow, it hasn't done it since i removed the BB spacer from the driveside though, must have been chainline related.RussAlf wrote:
SLX Goodnesss
So is 10:13 at Sevenoaks good for you tomorrow? Will we be passing that shop in the village we stoped at last time? Just debating weather to bring any food with me.0 -
Yeah i think it would take a 38t ring, there is clearence with the 36t.
10:13 is good and yeah ill want to stop at the shop anyway.0 -
