Did you get the email for Dave at cycle addicts, he will do a deal, normally around 15% off when he gets the new tranny.

Did you do that Darwen loop yesterday Gaz, I started from the royal around 10.30 ish and went the opposite way, I chucked a climb up the San Marino to the mast, down the shooting hit back up to the mast and then down San Marino, climbed back up to the woods, and to Darwen via the golf course and the res. after 24 miles the climb up to Darwen tower was a killer.
I thought I may bump into you at some point heading the opposite direction.
Several snack bars, energy gels were consumed.

Aye, not much of a tease was it. Just need to index the gears now and cut the fork steer Getting a bit crowded in there now. I'm going to have to sell one of the kids bikes.

Had a couples of hours to work on the Bird this evening. Just need to figure out the fork lock out cabling and do a bit of shortening, waiting on a post to post brake adapter and then will be finished. New frame, forks from St sale forums along with bars, everything else was spares. Oh forgot new tarty grips to match the graphics. May get some fork decals. Gone 1x11 with the new Xt kit which was a bit of a pig to sort the full range of hearing. Used an Xt crank though so there's more choice for chain rings. Brakes and wheels outcast from my scout. i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s381/kirky72/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-09/6A43C409-3EB9-40D8-8CED-719A6F1135CC.jpg

Interesting what you said about the 1x11 kit. What was the issue with it and how did you sort it? Asking as I'll be going down that route in the new year.

Nothing major, just needs some fettling to get full range, seems quite sensitive to tension adjustment. As ever I have a specific amount of time to do a job before I'm shouted from the man cave for dinner, put the kids to bed or fix something in the house so my perception of taking a while or being a pain can come from simply not conveniently be completed in the allotted time.

Fortunately I have quite a simple fix to your problem . 1. Put the kids up for adoption ..no need then to allot any time for their sleeping arrangements 2. Have the wife's vocal chords removed ..disguised as a pampering day ..that way you will never hear her shouting again ... 3. Move to a new / different house ..where no internal maintenance is required .. Nice bike ...

No I should check more really because the iPhone or iPad are quite viscous with the predictive text, however the font is so small I struggle to notice the odd letter.
