    Do not cut it yet. Put spacers on and ride the bike. You might want to lift your stem a bit and once you have cut it you are stuck. If your set-up is correct then and only then do you cut the steerer tube.
  5. Great to read a post like this. Kudo's to you Pappa Bear.!!!!!
  6. We as customers always complain about a shop regarding service and price and and and. No this is just my take on it and any comments are welcome. Why do we always stick to this thing about a LBS? Yes its nice to have a shop close to you but I find it is not that bad to have two or even three shops that you frequently visit for any reason what so ever. Maybe just maybe we want more than what we are willing to pay for and then the shop is the one that's bad or gives poor service.We as customers need to go to the the shop and explain what you need done to the bike and ask the relevant people in the shop to make sure its done to warrant the costs. If its a service and you get the bike back from them get on the bike and just take a spin in the parking area or something. If you find that the bike still needs a bit of work or a setting or two that needs to be done go back and ask the guys to have a look at it. Nine out of ten times they will sort it for you there and then. Remember that if you have your bike serviced the mechanic will ride it and find that the job has been done to his satisfaction. The way he rides and you ride and feel the bike is completely different. He might ride 5 to 10 bikes a day and each one will feel different to the other one. Rather than demanding a service or anything else maybe ask and see the difference in attitude and service that you get. We need to get of our high horses and treat the mechanic,salesperson and owner with the same respect we want from them. Then and just then will we enjoy the experience of going to the LBS and paying for that service. As I said: Just my thoughts on this. Now you guys/girls can rip it apart Enjoy
  7. I wonder if all the guys that gave him a hard time because of his post that he made will be so quick to to apologise and leave their snide remarks for a time when it would be more suitable.

  11. Have you ever worked in Africa mate? I spent 11 years in parts of it you would not send your worst enemy. Different rules apply. Onetime- I didn't want to be so direct' date=' but you're absolutely right. I spoke to the police chief in general terms. But if I insisted on some sort of action, like confiscation of the bike, or if I refused to pay "reward" money for the bike, I'd have to watch myself everytime I go out for a training ride, and I'd have to put double locks and burglar guards on my house, because "owner" and his mates would be looking out for revenge and to help themselves to my bikes........... [/quote'] I know mate. A lot of the guys think Africa is a big adventure or something. When you get to work in Africa you find it completely different from what you are used to. Its a stunning country but you have to live and abide by their type of justice and rules. Wish I could get back there. Would do anything to work in Africa again.

    Why reply?

    Its bump. Means bring up my post. It just puts your post at the top of the list so that if you open the For Sale section your post will be the first one the hubbers will see.

    Why reply?

    I reply as I have a lot of friends always looking for equipment and a good deal. It helps the seller as well as his post does not disappear so quickly in the for sale section.
