  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. Agreed Xt with KMC chain and you'll for sorted for many Km's.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. Thank you
  7. Sorry, I should have said put it on "Auto"
  8. Did this but I checked out of curiosity and found it showed 2096 which is incorrect. thanks.
  9. Have a laugh first and then tell me how. thanks.
  10. Please would someone provide me with the wheel size in mm for 27.5 wheels using Scwalbe Racing Ralph 27.5 2.25. (57-584) Not shown in owners manual. Thanks.
  11. Check this out. Its all you need to know http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/08/garmin-edge-200-in-depth-review.html
  12. Nobby Nic front and Racing Ralph rear. Make sure they are snakeskin.
  13. Upgraded to 27.5 Scott Spark and was very happy with Maxxis Crossmax (UST/Lust) rear and Monorail (UST/Lust) on the front on the 26er also a dual suspension bike. Never had a puncture or cut tire but paid the weight penalty. Did some research and went for Schwalbe Nobby Nic (Evo, Snakeskin, Pacestar TLR) and converted then to tubeless with sealant and no problems.They grip well but don't roll as well as the Maxxis and are a very noisy tire. I want a hassle free no punctures low rolling resistane tire for XC and light trails. I In the Scwalbe range which is the better of the 2 for my riding Racing Ralph or Rocket Ron? Any suggestions of any other brand would be appreciated. Thanks
