@kipperkendall I have just read the post by @Growmac and then I re-read your post. I have to say that I agree with Growmac. If what you do is byways and bridleways, then you sure don't need a 38. Maybe not even a 36. I would consider a top of the range Rockshox with 35mm stanchions, either a...

I agree with @Plummet above, but if you are resistant to that idea and would like to persist with the roof rack, here is something much cheaper than a new roof rack. Basically, you tie on the bike to the frame, with these nifty and quick to use Mega Twist Gear Tie wraps from Nite Ize. £9.99 each...

Just how BIG is this garden of yours? :unsure:

It might only be £48 if double the quantity was ordered.

I know that new stuff is very seductive, but are you certain that you are getting the best out of your current suspension? Take a look at this: https://bikerumor.com/bikerumor-suspension-setup-series-full-series-pdf-free-download/ If you are certain that you are getting the best, then consider...

Thanks for the praise, but a sprained ankle! Wow! You must have a high pain threshold. :eek: I didn't see any signs of you limping or wincing. If anybody else did then they didn't say anything to me either. :)

Did you pump it up in stages, compressing the shock after each stage? That may not be the exact method, but the Fox manual describes what and how to do it. This ensures that properly pressurised air is in all the appropriate places. Different shocks require different methods. This for example...

I have never bought a wired tyre. What are the advantages of a wired tyre?

That's harsh!

No, as long as it fits and does the job you can use anything you like.

In the end we became the Magnificent Seven! There was me, @Davvee, @DaveDog, @weiran, @Sparkomatic +1 (James), and @johnc (myapes changed his username). Good bunch of blokes, we had some laughs. The weather was dry and stayed dry. Despite the volume of rain this month, the trails were just...

Now I know how hard GT is to remove, I wouldn't use it again as rim tape. But if I had bought a wheel that already had it on, I will deffo follow your advice. Then a petrol soaked rag for what doesn't come off. :)

Yep, it's a good rim tape, until you need to remove it! (See above!)

Which bike has the "look back" factor? I mean when you walk away from it do you always turn for one more look? The Focus owes you nothing but it is still delivering miles and fun. You prefer riding it. From what you have written the Speccy does not have the look back factor, so sell it while...

The weather forecast has improved! :D It was dry all day Fri and Sat, f/cast dry overnight and then dry all morning. From noon it will be damp but "no precipitation expected". :love:

I had thought it was only the Post Office that was guilty of that, under the "No pressurised items" category. Has that changed? But who sends a fork or shock that is still under pressure? They take up less room if they are unpressurised.

I don't and my dropper is still fine. :) But clamping on the dropper stanchion offends me so I just would not do it.(n)

Does the bar have the crease in it to allow for the wires to run under the grip? If not what did you do instead?

Fork and shock service by TF Tuned. The fork was fine The shock had the black stanchion replaced under warranty. Also, a complicated tube-shaped cylinder in the gubbins was slightly polished in one area that it shouldn't be (evidence of rubbing?). That was replaced for £9. That was a complicated...

My LBS (Newark Cycles) sent off my Fox 38 Elite fork and my Fox DPX2 Elite to TF Tuned for a booked-in service. The fork was fine, but the black stanchion on the shock was replaced under warranty. TFT despatched the two items in one package by DPD. DPD notified my LBS that the package was...
