I remember the hell of the climb out of Port Askaig dragging this dead weight up it. Got off at top and I couldn't stand up, any normal person would have gotten off and pushed but a friend had said before we went that I'd not get up the hill. :shock:

Cue someone now posting that the climb is a piece of pish.

The hill outta Port Askaig has been dramatically reprofiled in the last few years

Probably easier now than it was decades ago - still a bugger tho'

Been playing with maguras today. Got a front and rear set functioning well, both now have mounts as well. Does anyone know if it's possible to fit the calipers to frame and fork without the use of a brace? There seems to be a heap of options for mounting and i'm not sure which one I have :?

You can see the mounts I have here...

Oi, it wasn't decades ago, it was only, well almost a decade and a half.
Just been on Google and I see they've been busy, that's quite a bit different from when we were there. Glad they left the garden in front of the Port Askaig Hotel.
What a view from there across to Jura.

Just remembered we were back there 9 years ago when our youngest was 2 but it was Port Ellen we landed at and left from.
Visited the Ardbeg Distillery one day, it was an "interesting" ride back through Port Ellen to the cottage we were staying at Lower Cragabus. Me, pished? Not at all.

Ive always been under the impression that a brace was optional if your frame/forks flexed to much during braking.

At least you got out Gazz - Fell asleep this afternoon and missed a left hand Tiagra brifter that went for £8.

Damn you old age *shakes walking stick*

That was my impression too, but i'm not entiely sure where the wee "horns" go in relation to the seatstays or fork brace. There doesn't seem to be room to fit them on the inside...
