  1. Makes lots of sense,now thanks.. Also explains why on these cheaper wheels, that my bike came with the rotors are 160mm.. I am asuming the spacers/adaptors, are avail in most LBS.... Thanks Mampara
  2. Hi Maybe a doff question... Can one upgrade your wheels with disc rotors at 160mm, to a wheelset with 180mm disc rotors.... both are Shimano rotors... If anything what can be done to do this..? Help please... In my mind it would not work..
  3. Raleigh was, out of my budget, and those within my budget are... more like supermarket bikes .. and those are not up to supporting my larger frame smashing round the bundus So I chose the best value, bike that I could still negotiate a really great deal on.....I did research on the reviews.. I checked most budget dual sus xc starter bikes... Yukon FX won hands down and the riders in the UK were speachless at the performance of this budget bike.. It got rave reviews... Raleigh still my chosen road brand... NEWBY00072008-08-29 08:35:44
  4. I am happily rejoining the muddy side,, havent toutched dirt since 05.. But had to . . last week took all the skin off my knee trying to avoid a crazeee motorist,, I had to choose .. scratch or crack my carbon team road bike , or put down my knee.... I chose to sacrifice the knee... now painfully skinless, but at least I heal... my bike would not.. and came off without a mark..... Today i again tore the plasters off, but because i was in the bush, and the old hesitation = devistation.. came true... I enjoyed the fall, and it was great to be back in the muddy stuff...
  5. I am not defined by my bicycle brand choice I have dropped the avatar, and will select a pic which better resembles me I will not participate, in any further Brand "banter" It seems certain hubbers take it too seriously,... As for my nauseating posts... well they were simple banter, in the name of "Fun".. and should be seen as such..... You take life way too serious..... I will no longer defend my choice of brand, to this forum or to any other for that matter.. as the playful defence of my choice was misrepresented ...
  6. Nothing more nauseating than small people, copying others, trying to look good
  7. Point taken.. My appologies , it was not meant to be serious.. I will adjust my posts, & slagging will cease. I will not use the Avatar, when it could cause the brand harm.... Thank you for the feedback,and honest criticism.. I think you have just converted me, from obsessively defending my chosen bicycle brand without putting any thought into my posts.....
