I have ordered that book , I’d like to pedal the Newcastle to Edinburgh, or Coast and Castles as its sometime called ,
I’m looking forward to reading this Lads exploits !

Thanks for the info re; Boost Frames, It is handy to know for future reference , Things do come out of the ‘blue’ so to speak , when you start modifying the oem, as I’m Replacing the dropper post the seat post has a wider diameter than all my pare posts , but quick fix ... but a shim about 3 sobs fr...

I’m not sure what boost means .,.,,, Anyway it went in there and is turning ok, the chain sits well on the SLX large ring , but could only use the small ring when I’m in the big rings at th back , otherwise the chain is way to slack , but as said it’s the larger ring I wanted which is 44. Should get...

Cheers , I think I’ll take it off there are a few seat posts in the parts bag I can use , ,as it is a 1 x drivetrain I have had a thought about installing an SLX hollow tech tripple chain ring that I had on my old GT, that should boost the mph on my rides , I’ll can use the cable routing for the fro...

I have a DP on my MTB it was part of the original spec ,:I really do not need it , can you just take it out and replace it with a normal one ,( and sell it on ) ie, has the seat tube been designed to accommodate it ? Or can I just disconnect the cable and it should stay at the same height ? Cheers

Post duplicated , please see other

Hhhhhh

Re cycling old inner tubes ,I was in a local BS on Monday , on the counter was a box with things made out of old inner tubes , what a top idea , wallets and phone covers etc , what a Top idea , completely waterproof which is a big bonus for those if us that go out riding regardless, another Big plus...

. I’ve struggled this last few. days with my MTB getting the indexing right , usually it’s ok , but ....,,,
Anyway thanks for advice !

Hiya, I am doing some routine servicing on my road bike , I could hear some grinding from the BB , oh noI thought knowing these press fit can be a proper pain , any took the crank and the bearing on the drive side was Sounding a bit gritty , so I took off the seal and using some muc-off spray gave i...

It’s got a 1.85 spacer at the mo, I’ll have a look round for a 2mm one
Cheers

I’ve had it all in bits again , bearings have been regressed and set now , , the Sunrace sprockets are not fitting the Shimano splined hub to well , even after cranking it up to 40 nn , I’m pretty sure that is why it’s got a bit of movement , I’m not to sure if I can fix this , I’m going to put a fe...

There is no rattling, all the sprockets are as should be , I am wondering if this Sunrace cassettte is not a good fit , Think I’ll try putting the original 42 T back on an see if I’m correct ,

And yep, auto correct could start something big !

I have a Sunrace 11 speed , 11-50 T Sunrace Cassette on a Shimano hub, I detected some movement when I held the 50T in my fingers and lifted it up and down , it moved about 1mm , so I took it it off cleaned up and refitted it, all tightened to the max , the sprockets are tight together and yet there...

I’ve got Smart Sam f/b, big difference all round from the WTB’s that came with it , better rolling and speed on hard surface and less noise, good deal from Planet X at the time

Today I finally after 9 months got around to replacing the naff h/s bearings I got from Evans , I got some mid range for tapered Exotic forks , sealed FSA ones from Merlin Bikes , what a difference , all made easier by using the correct tools, I went to a Bike Hub near where I live ,

Thanks for replies fellas, it is a brand new Shimano cable , all good and outlers good ,
It is more than likely tension, Im hoping to get into a local bike hub in a bit to put the new head set bearings on, I’ll get the lad there to give it a quick once over

About a year ago I put an 11 speed XT M8000 shifter , derailleur and a 50t cassette on ,it’s been pretty good all this time, until about 2 weeks ago it became very erratic , so I went through all the paces I know that usually sort things , but not this time , it’s been an absolute pig to get it shif...

Can’t find it , sorry Mate

I have one somewhere, it came with my Lapierre , only used for about 4 weeks , I’ll have a look for it and get back

That sounds good !!

Ok , thanks for replies , so I think I’ll need OS 17 and one more Due South , is it better to buy them hard copy or download on device ?
I’ll need detailed map , same as we used in the Army ,
