  1. Hi, Customs for a complete bike is 15% customs duty and 14% vat, but are the %'s before or after discount? Thanks for the assistance.
  2. Thank you for putting in the time and effort. Great for me as a layman in drive trains. Again much appreciated and well done
  3. thanks, I presume its the same application procces of "a drop" per link, wating a few minutes to allow access and wiping off the excess. do you get any grime build up?
  4. I don't wish to start a lube debate but are there any new chain lube's which are worth trying. I ride in try dusty areas. I clean my bike after every ride and give the chain a good wipe down and re lube. I've been served well by Clean Ride, the old white Lightning which has a wax base.No chain suck, dropped chains etc. and its clean. I noticed recently there was a wax build up and despite all the efforts with a degreaser the wax was stubborn and never came off and started the long ardious process of using a tooth pick and eventually got all the wax off. Would the Epic Ride be a better proposition or are there any suggestions? Thanks.
  5. Agreed Xt with KMC chain and you'll for sorted for many Km's.
  6. Sorry, I missed your post but thanks for replying. I've done exactly that and gone for R/R, evo, s/s. Still not 100% but am sure this has to do with tire pressure. running 1.7 raer and 1.6 front. Thanks again.
  7. In MTB events we all try to get into some rhythm going and there is always a dash to enter the single track first. However who has the right of way once you have entered a narrow single track? The guy/girl who enters the single track first? or The guy/girl who shouts "rider coming" - are you expected to stop pull your bike over and let the rider through?
  8. Thank you
  9. Sorry, I should have said put it on "Auto"
