What have you lot got??

Copy my bike…

pfft... If it wasn't for my rather excellent recommendation you'd be snapping a 2021 Blur around about now :)
I'd probably swap my car for your Tallboy tbh.
I'm convinced the AC blows out smelly air, like wet dog smelly. I'd thought maybe the previous owner had a dog and it was the carpets but no amount of valeting gets rid of it. Is this known Volvo issue? Has there been a recall?

Try sticking a new cabin filter in. Shouldn't be too pricy.

And check your sunroof drains...

I know it's humid up there (read: Wet, constantly raining etc) but with single digit temperatures all year round do you even need it? 😂

Car thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No sun roof and it smells with the AC off too 🤷‍♀️ Smell is more apparent after it’s been raining.
Will change filter and see.
Anyway, soz for thread detail

What's a good shock/fork pump? Something that doesn't let 30psi out when you detach it.

EDIT: Ordered rock shox 600 psi. Will pump up the fork high and then dial it in with an electronic gauge.

Going to Swinley again this weekend, same time 10:20 at Martins Heron.

600 psi in your fork

You may not see a difference between 110 and 80 psi in your fork but my fat ass does.

Still moer plush than rigid.

Working my way through the Vittoria back catalogue. Need something 2.4 for the rear, or I could sling a Barzo on.

In the last part of my I now have a dog, a job and a degree to do so I don't ride anymore clearout, I'm probably going to move on (and immediately regret) my Pipedream Moxie.

Get a Mazza and let us know if it's any good

Still got a d-shape seat post for an sl6 tarmac going?!

That went in the massive job lot of epicness to @c00ps

Yup. Have been summoned… Can certainly sort something out for that (unless I decide to build a bike around a seatpost). Drop me a PM. Can bring into town tomorrow.

Thanks @lowbrows - I am still working my way through all of it! Eldest daughter has already dibsed all the jackets/jerseys. “I will grow into them”

Anyone have a recommendation for a universal brake bleed kit to suit my TRPs (not Magura please, I wouldn't like to risk it)? I'd like to tidy up the hoses a bit so they'll need a good bleed after I suspect...

I was going to suggest epic bleed solutions but the kit you need appears to be out of stock, not sure if the universal kit they do will work.

Saw that alright and apparently Universal Kit will work fine, just wondered had anyone any experience of them?

I have the Sram bleeding edge kit from them and the one time I've had to use it it was perfectly good. I don't see how the official Sram kit could have been £45 better.

I've used an Epic Bleed kit on my Quadiems with no issue. I think it was the TRP one

They sent the pink mineral oil which I'm certain is the Shimano stuff, but has been fine for the 3 years since I trimmed and bled them

Is Rogate worth it for someone who's not bothered about going in the air?

I enjoyed it and I’m rubbish at jumping.

@pit
I've got one of these-

Any escaping air should just be be in the hose as the valve should have closed.
