Squashed

Heard this earlier this year. Still

Haha!! Effing brilliant, after all the **** today gave me

At the finish, there was a professional photographer, a woman, asking if one would like a photo etc. I did, but I forgot to ask from which company. Does anyone know who that was?

Only.

Finished my first mtb event today! Whoohaa. What a well organised event, and on a perfect day in Stellenbosch!! Many thanks to anyone involved!

Aaai! How easy is she on the eye after a long week...

AAH of course . I listen, never look! Thanks

Aargh. Resistance is futile. Who is she?

Just to make sure: got a bar-code on the BB on my out-the-box Synapse, on a sticker under the clear-coat. Is this the serial number? ("AA NNNNN" format, A = alpha, N = digit) I can hardly make out the number stamped into the BB itself under the frame paint.

Very disappointed with SS coverage of the Epic. After all their hype about how well they will be covering it.

Personal opinion - entry-level dual might mean components that just don't make for sweet shifting, quick wheels, etc. The question might not be about the frame, but about the parts!

I can't compare (don't know the Trance) but am very very happy with my 120.

76.9 kg. Nearly forgot....

Keep it cool, and keep it at 40% seems to be the latest best idea. http://batteryuniver...based_batteries

77.4

Absolutely agree. In addition, maybe also to have a PERMANENT watch for them and their activities, and their associates. My thought was that when these turds are sleeping, others know them, and on the reward incentive... elimination from our lives. (at least for a while).

%$ another one. Spur of the moment, and I haven't thought this through, so please don't flame me. Communities must surely know these b&*#$stards. Just thought about a managed fund, subscribed to (by us obviously), that offers a reward to anyone that results in a successful conviction?

Thanks guys. With that Shimano tech doc I've got these 105's set up nicely now - real schweet little group that. Nothing removed, nor glued! That trimming adjustment feature of the shifters also works great.

RTFM! Something I didn't know about the shifters: the trimming feature... From the Shimano tech docs (http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/SI_6TH0A/SI-6TH0A-002-ENG_v1_m56577569830702880.pdf) "Trimming (noise prevention operation) If the chain is on the large front chainwheel and the larger rear sprocket, the chain will rub in the front derailleur plate, producing a characteristic noise. When this happens, press lever b lightly (to the point where it clicks); this causes the front derailleur to move slightly towards the smaller chainwheel, thereby eliminating the noise. If the chain is on the smallest front chainring and a smaller rear sprocket, the chain will rub in the front derailleur plate, producing a characteristic noise. When this happens, press lever a lightly (to the point where it clicks); this causes the front derailleur to move slightly towards the larger chainring, thereby eliminating the noise."

Yupp. My experience until now I agree I did the xt's on my mtb like this, and for 600-odd km - properly quick, (and I mean click-change - none of this click-rattle-rattle-rattle-clunk-change), very quiet and everytime a coconut. And I mean every time. Brilliant, never been happier. On my road bike there are no other adjusters for the FD besides the inline. It appears that the intended solution is to get the inline thing to work. Then these 105's had better start playing the game. Although I think I have to lean on my LBS to get this tuned for me, and sort out the adjusters, being a new bike.

Cool. Thanks guys. Got something to work with.

I'm going to have to aim at a little lower and slower than your damn fine achievement here but getting by without a glass or two is going to be very difficult!!! Keep posting pictures of them salads

Hmm. Don't THINK I have... The RD has the same inline thing. That one seems to extend the inner sleeve by a mm or two on twiddling, when it feels like it. The FD one has the inner sleeve as far inside the outer sleeve as the RD ever goes, but it never moves out. Time for a cable removal and inspection of this strange device....

I am, lol! Problem is, it goes sooo well with a nice crisp chardonnay. And THAT goes down singing hymns with another little crisp chardonnay...!
