:roll: too late bud they've already been dispatched (i dont mind) thanks for the offer though much appreciated 8)

cheers for your help mate... i rang local bike shop (as helpful as a chocolate teapot) spoke to the guys at chain reaction who were kind enough to point me in wind ways direction (uk distibutor for marzocchi) so a quick phone call has sorted me a v brake boss kit for my exact forks £20...

I had a 34.9 XT mech from my previous build but didnt realise till the other day mech's could be shimmed and so i sold it a few weeks back :? ive ordered a 31.8 from crc, as im only taking up 1.8mm slack what do u suggest to use as a shim (plastic,rubber,tape) ??? cheers mike :D

:lol: :lol: :lol: knowing my luck i'd reck my bike trying :roll:

havnt ran a front mech since i built up the giant so once i get chance i'll drop the chain on the granny ring and see if i get the same problems in 2nd :?

my tube is 34.9 at the top but where the mech fits its taperd to approx 30mm, im gonna get a 31.4 and shim it if i have too what do u think??

my frame is 30mm but the all the mechs i can find are 28.4mm and 31.8mm :? which size do i need to buy?? thanks mike

dude try taking the post out and hold a tape measure across the top of your seat tube should be able to get within 0.5mm of what u need and i would think the seat clamp will take up 0.5mm of slack. worth a try :wink:

it had crossed my mind lol

im not sure as it looks like the rest but then they all could be worn i suppose. yes 2nd biggest cog. i dont mind buying a new chain and cassette but wanna make sure that is the problem 1st. hanger looks straight too :?
