No drum for me unless I find petrol money down the back of the sofa :roll:

Glad to see your just chucking a bike together to ride, no long term plan of perfection

Velo

I just found 50p does that tip the scales?

Gazz were did you get the pics?

flickr again.

Cool, will give it a few more days and have another swatch


don't want to spam your stumpie thread too much, I'll be bringing the muddy fox......hopefully

 

[clockworkgazz]

you make me feel bad, If I get the stump ready (might struggle as I have the boys tomorrow) them I might bring it, but the bred needs some love too.

Went out on the GT tonight and have to admit it was really cool, needs some straight bars but was pretty sharp and lots of fun on the downhills. I really liked the canti brakes, modulation was so much better than any canti's I have set up, which just confirms what you have always maintained kaiser, I am shite setting up brakes

 

[kaiser]

bring the GT then and give it a whirl

 

[clockworkgazz]

it's got gears which is so last year

I am shite setting up brakes

yes gash yes you are . having only one canti arm moving and letting the rim flex over to meet the other lazy/static arm is pish poor

 

[clockworkgazz]

you are not wrong, I can do v's canti's are beyond my megre mechanical abilities










Ill just get my coat :roll:

Sorry guys but i may need to miss tomorrows run , found the Polo needs quite a bit of work for it's MOT in a couple of weeks so better get on with that.

Fitted new cranks and chain to the E3 so will give that a try up the braes over the weekend

 

[kaiser]

what cranks did you get?

what cranks did you get?

Maybe i should have said other cranks, the old black FSA ones off the LTS, steel middle ring and chainring bolts too, pretty ugly and heavy but at least they wont break
