+1 for Muc-Off chain lubes and tyre sealant going straight in the bin. Currently using Finish Line Ceramic Wax which is clean in use and does it's job but doesn't last that long, maybe 50-60 miles, there's no black gunk though so can live with that I think.

Went out on this yesterday, I haven't ridden it for months. I'd had thoughts about selling it. I won't! 😁 It's a lovely smooth riding bit of kit, just feels right. The XT works fantastically. I didn't ride it more than up and down the street with the Bontrager stem, definitely prefer the...

Making up the numbers! 😁 Benjabbi's 2017 NS Eccentric Cromo 29er

No, I bought this one off ebay I think? Can't quite remember but it definitely wasn't off br0qn. 👍 😁

I agree 👍 I have one on my Ti Lite and if I ever see another one at a sensible price I'll buy it. I do have an alloy one laying about but decided to use the 118 to go with the seatpost. 🙂

Thank you 😍

I think the very first time I saw one the initial thought was 'how the feck did they get that in there?' followed by 'well, the frames gonna be dead' then when it unscrewed fine 'Why the hell Shimano, why the hell?' :)

:) Thanks once again for letting it come my way.

Yes, one of Shimanos cheap BBs back in the day was the other way, cartridge in NDS, plastic cup in DS. I think it was an LP25? Who knows why they did this.

Absolutely stunning bike :) A unicorn/pipe dream of mine that isn't happening anytime soon but I can look at this and drool dream!

That looks very similar to mine. This is in an Altek lever but it's the same thread. Now I see it though obviously that's the crimped end that you can't shorten! 😬😁 The other end at the caliper hopefully looks like this, the top one. You unscrew it from the caliper, unscrew the shroud nut, then...

Getting away from an 80 mile commute must be a weight lifted even if just the fuel bill! I know you weren't enjoying your job so well done for getting out and good luck in the new one, onwards and upwards. :) The riding will return when you're ready.

People have been pushing the boundaries since the very beginning, the bikes have developed accordingly. From the Repack days onward. For every person chasing the thrill of the big stuff there's another content with bridleway bashing. The media latches on to the bigger stuff because it's 'more...

I have a Magura branded braided hose kit on one of my sets, I'm 99% certain it's a rebadged Goodridge kit, it doesn't use olives and the fittings are reusable, post a pic of the lever/hose connection and I'll tell you if it's the same. :) Can't help with the elbow thing I'm afraid. :( Yes, the...

Updated the Fisher photo, the Girvins have been removed for stripping and polishing, they probably won't be going back on that because the brakes don't quite go high enough to hit the rim fully. It just about works but would eventually lead to a lip on the bottom edge of the block. Also fitted a...

The Giant currently has no chain or cables will add it when complete again. The Dawes has recently been confirmed as a 98 model. Thanks to the catalogue appearing in the archive. Charge is 2012ish, NS 2017. So all three don't belong in this section. :)

That train doesn't work, someone would have half inched it by now if it did. :)
