I am very happy! Can't wait to get back on the bike.

Hi! I know it is not customary to post any positive stuff here, but I would like to post a special for Annette at Cycledelic. My Anthem frame broke a while ago, and Annette fixed it up beautifully, and it won't break again, guaranteed! And in the end it was much cheaper that the original quote too! Tomorrow it is spanner time, then off for a ride! If you have any frame repairs, paintwork, touchups, you know who to call! (PM me if you do not have their number) Thanks Cycledelic! (Disclaimer: I don't have any dealings with cycledelic, apart from being a VERY satisfied customer) Before and after photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hyper7/5643969868/in/photostream

Thanks guys. I am the first owner, bought it new from Bruce Reynecke. Now I'll have to hunt down that sales slip...

Cool, I'll definitely find out soon!

Doubt it will help any, it is way over the warranty/guarantee I think. Might be worth a try though. Else I'm in the market for a secondhand anthem frame... :o/

Well, my anthem X1 seattube broke today, on my way home from work, so I was rolling along on tar. Only about 5000Km of relatively mild riding, 2 years or so old. (mostly to work and back with the odd race here and there). I am fairly tall, so my seattube (it so happens) is the perfect length when exactly on the manufacturers "minimum insertion mark", still, the tube broke. Any comments? Is it my fault? If I cant figure out how to post the pic, you can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hyper7/5413115671/ http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5094/5413115671_b4ee044d3d_m.jpg Oops by hyper7pro, on Flickr

Christ on a bicycle! What next indeed!

Sillier than wearing a styrofoam hat to begin with?

Ah, thanks!

Me and the wife went riding at groenies (for the first time) last week thursday. I am from Suckunda, so it is a 2 hour drive to get there for us. I was somewhat confused though, as we could only ride the few tracks that are under/around the bridge (highway overpass). Only about 20km if you redo some of the pieces? We couldn't find any way to get into the larger part, all the gates where closed and there were busses (about 10) full of kids running around all over the place. The trails at the bridge was nice, but I was kind of disappointed. Is the other trails only open on weekends, or was I at the wrong place?

Absolutely true. They missed the glaring obvious issue that my left leg is 2cm shorter than my right, and I had stabilizer muscle problems. Go see a good biokineticist first. Then a foot and leg dude. (whatever they're called) Do the bike setup once all the other stuff is sorted.

Just when I lose faith in humanity, threads like this pop up. Thanks guys.

Good post, chickenrun4me. If the lever pulls too far, all you need to do is get the pads a bit closer to each other. (I have explained how to do this already, you just help the "self adjusting" mechanism along a bit) No bleeding of the system required, the reservoir takes care of the ml or so (probably less) of extra fluid that is needed.

Well, actually it does work for me. Notice I said "Exactly once". If it is not enough, you do it again. If it is too much, you wedge them apart and start over. No big deal. Disc brakes is not rocket science. :shrug:

>How do you adjust the pads? as the brake lever seems to almost touch the handle bar now Take the wheel out. Squeeze brake lever exactly once. Replace wheel. Repeat as needed. Works for me.
