No worries what would you use for a to on black lx seems wrong, got some nice ultimate levers but not sure- are you sure v's are not allowed :twisted:

I can talk, V's are on the Wicked, thought you might have caught it.

I was thinking of some suntour xc pro for mines, though I have some black XT already.....

 

[kaiser]

I found zilch that anyone wanted at the bike station except for 29.4mm seatposts x3 which Gaz said he no longer needed, so didn't get them. Next time we should try to outfox the gods of fate and tell me what you really don't want, chances are there would be a surplus in every colour available :roll:

I got a set of Suntour XC race brake levers with built in friction thumb shifters, real cool

Cannot decide if I should get some road miles out to West Linton/Romano Bridge/Peebles in tomorrow or get up the Pentlands on the Spesh :?
Could combine both as there is a nice old drovers track from West Linton to Carlops via the Pentlands lower slopes, nice Pub in Carlops too

Hope your all enjoying the weekend

Any pics of the roadie yet? Have a good one anyway. I've been nursing a hangover today, so 2 days without riding will make the effort to get out tomorrow.

Kaiser, are you looking for a 1" Judy DH??? Well, I have a 1" DH but want a 1 1/8", so if you find one I will swap the steerer/crown with you.

Yes I'm on for Inners Gazz if I could only sort out a suitable bike. Both bouncer bikes are in bits.

Si

Si, I'm trying to source 1" judy forks. I have a couple of 1 1/8" steerers I was also trying to trade for 1", kinda 2 pronged attack.

Your not selling the Judys are you? And how long is the steerer?

Velo were any of the posts fancy pants ones, I have a moby which I'll need to shim so could still be interested? And kaiser I missed that v's thang, I have black suntours too kaiser but they are kind of bulky IMHO happy to take your xt's ......

Anyone got a nice black 1 inch headset, really fancy a chris somthing about this bike is making me want to spend money I do not have.

Just got a 1" CK no logo in the post today all for the princely sum of £25 I think I'm going to go with the XT's see if I can find a nice set of dia compe levers.

I've got some s7's on the orange are they any use happy to swap for the headset

 

[kaiser]

Headsets destined for the Yo.

 

[clockworkgazz]

will look sweet will see if I can hunt one down, need a ringle stem I think- I think I'm going v's on the yo now, I really want this bike to be the main ride for the smoother stuff and SS is not period anyway and stopping is way cool.

What cranks you going to use on the yo?

 

[kaiser]

Not sure at all, either try to pick up a set of cooks or race face turbines or was even gonna push the boat out for some ENOs. I'm already gathering bits and bobs but should really finish other stuff first

about this bike is making me want to spend money I do not have.

I know what you mean :roll:

 

[clockworkgazz]

cooks are calling me but I cant really justify it, there is a cracking set of black ones too- must resist.

Fancy some cool wheels, black CK's would be nice but will need to sell one of the kids and can't decide which one? Maybe a job lot :twisted:
