Thanks doomanic for the reply. So would the sram 12sp chainring cause the shimano 11sp chain to wear out that quickly? The old gear hanger was quite a bit out of whack so fitted a new one and checked alignment and all ok. I junked the sram 12 sp and went shimano 11sp, so could the chain line be...

So dropped bike into have the kiox upgrade and a general check over. So guy phones me and says there is a tiny nick in the rear brake hose. That the main pivot bearings need replacing, the rear wheel bearings have play and the chain is worn to .75. Now i replaced the chain, cassette, jockey...

Yeah been over epping last few weeks and all over winter, cant be bothered with the singletrack until it drys out, the main paths are ok but full of hipster bipeds, so avoid weekends, as has been said northern end is better, up around claverhambury is ok, but really mostly its a mud fest.

Im same 5'4" i really dont worry about standover height, i have a vitus e sommet in small and a whyte e150rs in medium. Both are fine for me.

Thanks paul mac

Switched to spank vibrocore riser, shimano xt 11speed, and uberbike brake pads, superstar components evo pedals.

Nah not really my old gunnery instructor would say ' use the correctt tools correctly, and replace parts with the correct parts' And if you didnt you would find yourself running around the square with a 120mm hesh shell. So not proud by any means?

Lol you are tighter than a ducks arse! I paid about 3 quid for eight of the correct washers! I am impressed with your level of tightness?

Just to add it looks like you fitted the metal washer the wrong way round as the plastic washer should go in that groove of the metal washer?

Are you scottish? ?

Thanks rocketmagnet and gary for replies. Yes i use torque wrench and bearing press, i use hot water in bucket and sponge and brushes but i rinse with cold water and wipe with microfibre cloth. Wash time is around 10mins depending on how mucky then 5min doing drive train. The rinsing is with a...

Had my burner trousers ( not pants! ) for nearly 2 years and i love them, only the decals have come off after many many washes, they have extra room at the knees for pads. They are very comfortable and great on colder rides, they are offer good protection from brush/thorns etc. A very good bit...
