Take that you bunch of MMS slacking hubbers , probably a fair assesment though .......

Hey DannyBoi - yip will check it this week! Just joking mostly besides the sore back issue

OK OK OK - Yesterday 4 hours ride, OK but for some reason my lower backgot very eina (almost going down into my right thigh) but I'm sure that's just a bit of a setup issue. I'm told the top tube length is 'longer' than my Stumpjumper HT so will check it out a bit this week. Other than that no problem, everything worked 100%. So today I reckon lets see what this baby can do, onto my short test route (48k's off-road not technical). I can on my Stumpjumper do the outward part of this ride in just under an hour (that means 1:58:30 or so). Gave it horns and flip I only manage 1:59:15, whats with that????? This frikkin high tech jumbo airplane material and all and I'm slower

I did ride, 4 hours yesterday and then my 'test course' about 2 hours this morning ............

FFHBHS (For frikkin hecks bloody hells sakes) I am so disappointed ........

"If you shave your legs don?t call us" That means 97.567% of hubbers don't qualify ............ Dirt Rider probably the only one I know off hand

Would have paid money to see that Dell!

You screw the bomb onto the adapter (quick) then screw the adapter onto the valve (first release vat little fing on ve top of ve valve ...), now just open the air release magafter on the bomb pump and Bobs your uncle (no not you TNT1!). Hows that? EDIT : rather follow Dellboys advice ... seems somewhat more safety conscious van me .....BigBen2008-09-27 12:38:53

Ok it's completely sorted, the 4 hour maiden ride is on tomorrow woohoo!

Just whiping my keyboard here .....

2 hours Hagar, you working over time? It's Friday for crying out loud, 1 hour max and I'm outta here .......

And dont believe all that crappa about girls... it takes a real cyclist not to be afraid of riding with a compact group set Are you gonna tell him to get a tripple next? A triple compact dont be surprised i was shocked last week when i built up my friends scott it came with a 105 triple compact i thought OMG this is just murderous how can they do such a thing - Frikkin heck is that not just an LX MTB crank with 105 written on?

Fatty's the one in pink, that frock is a bit tight round the middle for me

That is really schweet!!! Very nice bike and I'm just a little jealous .......

Thanks guys! Scotman I'll be riding SabieX pre-ride that weekend so will be on my trusty Epic .........

Not a common garden variety Shimano BB HR, well spotted Scotman!

Legend you right it is without any doubt the best hardtail I have ever ridden. That's why I will keep it for sure. The Scott has some good kit on to use for the S-works. Will look at getting a better fork than the Tora some time for it.

You right Sonic, will have to fight her off it ....... luckily it's too big for her!

Yes that is the FD shifter cable hanging there. There are still 1 or 2 or so things to do before it will be rideable ...... Shift setting, setup seat height/position. Check rear brake caliper is set lekker. Adjust headset. Ran out of time tonight ................. hopefully finish tomorrow afternoon and maiden voyage Saturday, if not then definitely Sunday!

I have managed to 'procure' this spastic plastic frame and have moved all the stuff from the S-works onto it tonight, will be my new hardtail racer. The stuff off the Scott will move to the S-works and that will become the hacker ......
