Re: Many thanks for the offer, sadly I have had things arranged for me this Sunday :-( But I will come along to the next gathering, I may even keep up for the first mile :-)

Re: A small update. Been out a lot with the weather improving. Problems, caffe latex sealant did not!, TBH had the same on my SS but thought it may have been the rim/tyre combo. Regularly got to the bike and find a flat front or rear. Although the Stan's 26er strips also didn't work as...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content More Messing! Well it's been a little while and still not got to surrey hills :-( A fine sunday a little while ago and a group ride on offer but non cycling life got in the way...oh well. I have committed on stem and bars, 70mm exotic stem and 700mm...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content. Well, bit of a funny christmas, usually it's me at work and everyone else at home, this year the rest of the family have to go in and I'm home alone...so.......bikeride! From home even a road ride would be risky with all the storm/flood issues so north...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content More messing! Well weather yesterday and last night was awful and I had some forks just sitting there..........well it had to be done! Although there was some logic too, picked them up cheap on the STW forum and wanted to make sure all was OK. Also...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content Finished.......for Another bit longer ride today and starting to really like the Clockwork. A long steep climb up a soft grassy field polished off well and the downhills got a bit longer, fork is good, not yet missing suspension! Will move the saddle...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content Finished.......for First chance to go for a ride after finishing it yesterday. Temporary bars and stem until I get used to it and sort the position properly. Had to invert the stem sadly but with a small spacer so maybe a 0 degree stem with no spacer...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build Pretty much there Just a quick pic in the gloom. [/URL] Just a couple of gear inners will get it rolling. Weirdly may need to bleed the rear brake :o Riding position feels OK but I have a longer stem on the way, I'm sure it would feel...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build They are Carbonzone, Chinese, although I bought them in the UK. Look identical to Niner forks, but probably are not :roll: I used a long ITM steerer bung which works well, all feels good, but I will worry for the first few rides I suspect...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build Well the tyres finally arrived :D , TBH I have normally had good service from the suppliers. Just got them fitted to the rims and inflated tubeless, they were not easy, although folding, the bead seemed pretty solid, in the end no valve core...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build Well a little bit happier now, back from LBS with retapped BB and bearings fitted, but I still have to fettle one of the dropouts to allow an axle in and out without force! Maybe the deal was a little too good! Still waiting for the tyres...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build Well I'm getting really grumbly now.... :( Forks arrived last night at about 7.00!! A bit weird but anyway all very good, got them fitted and found a Hope Head Doctor does not fit, oh well can use that elsewhere. Today slotted in a pair of...

Re: Wagon Wheels with Clockwork content New Build Well a week off and not much progress :( Ordered some mirrors for a truck and they came next day, anything bicycle related seems to be taking ages, or I'm just being impatient...........almost certainly :) But the headset arrived and I...

I have been dilemma ing about a 29er for ages, have finally decided to do it. Being old and slow I think it will be right, looking for smoothness and comfort, plus some of the trails on the surrey hills are getting very rough between roots and braking bumps. Have bought a Clockwork frame...

Re: 29er parts- Rockshox, Rotor, Easton, Avid, SLX & XTR Sending PM re Easton wheels.

Re: Pipedream SS Many thanks for the comments, I did wonder if tarting it up would take away some of my enthusiasm for the bike, but thankfully no! A very wet and muddy ride on Saturday was a perfect bedding in, and exactly why I like an SS in the winter. Pic before the mud/heavy rain, later...

Re: Pipedream SS The Pipedream became my preferred ride through the summer so thought I had better get the frame sorted before all my rattlecan paint disappeared! Had some real dilemmas over colour but in the end went safe with white. So off to the the local industrial powder coaters, whilst...

Re: SLX front mech for double I'll have the mech if it's still available pls.

Ta for the comments all. Graphic Shack don't do the Comp decal but I bet Gil_M does. I would have got mine from him if I had thought to ask.....Doh.

Re: 1989 Rockhopper first ride finally! Well finally the weather has stabilized in a good way so time to finally get out on the hopper. A few minor changes, black seatpost and a full set of silver Biopace, a few bits need polishing properly and a bit of cable surgery. Half an hour gentle...
