  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"
  10. Did this but I checked out of curiosity and found it showed 2096 which is incorrect. thanks.
  11. Have a laugh first and then tell me how. thanks.
  12. 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.
  13. Check this out. Its all you need to know http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/08/garmin-edge-200-in-depth-review.html
  14. Nobby Nic front and Racing Ralph rear. Make sure they are snakeskin.
  15. 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

    Hi, I'm looking for some guidance please. Is there a difference between a oversized 31.8mm and a 31.8mm stem for m/biking? For example Ritchey WCS C-260 oversize 31.8mm is the stem on the Scott 700 RC but no mention of" oversized" in the Ritchey website on the C-260 stem. Thanks.
  19. This all about Specialized!!!!!!!!!!!! They have missed out on a marketing opportunity to their opposition and now placing your under pressure by withholding funding.You in turn are trying to hold the greater biking community at ransom. Not a good tactic and doing more damage to the brand.
  20. Just out of interest and not to create any debate, which riders or teams are using 27.5/650 B?
  21. What rims will you be using?
  22. Hi, I ride XC which sometimes includes trail (roots, rock gardens etc). The Easton EA 90 XC would appear to be ideal but have noted some negative comments about the wheel especially their hubs. Very little reviews noted but can anyone share some first hand experience or are the negative comments merely a blip? Currently have AM Tubeless 26" Thanks.
  23. hi, Can anyone please tell me difference in the 1090 and 1099 10 speed cassette and what chain would you recommend. I'm currently running a PC 1071 but not sure of the cassette. Thanks.
  24. Hi, can anyone help please. When buying components say from CRC do you pay duties on the RRP or on the actual price paid. ( Retail less discount)? Thanks.
