Re: Re:

Brian, do not use a coaster brake off road unless you are a mtb god....

Simpers modestly...

Yes, I've already had second thoughts. Mainly because I remembered my hub is actually a 2 speed auto, so if I turned up at the SSUK with that I'd be really popular.

Just to reassure you further. I did consider rod brakes too....

But drums it is.

Re:

Was hoping to get my Orange up & running for the Ballater ride on Sunday.... until the Gripshift curse struck :x


So in my 30 minute morning break today I swapped out the forks, headset and stem on the Scott, ran a new front brake cable, removed the mudguards, changed the tyres, cleaned & degreased the drive train, and still had time for coffee and toast! phew!!

Test riding it tomorrow, should all be sweet for Sunday

I have recently bought a Chameleon frame for my wife and a Saracen x-tort frame for my son who wants a jump bike both on the basis that they will be spare parts builds - if only. It seems that bottom brackets seize 5 minutes after removal especially ISIS versions. I hadn't noticed that the Truvativ cranks my son wanted are Power Splines and my spare headsets didn't include enough parts to make 2 good ones...

First ride out on the Saffron, pretty much a year after I first spoke to Matthew about the build. Very happy with it. Understated looks with great handling.
