I've bought a whyte 901 which is a phenomenal piece of kit but the cranks, bb etc are average. I've got an XTR crankset with zee shifter, 1x10 set up with a on up 42t sprocket to go on. My slightly drunken question is, can I leave the sram bb on to go with the XTR cranks?

My mrs is just finishing a design and engineering degree at Sheffield, she excells in CAD and some of the things she shows me is frightening. She's always using my bike for tolerances/breaking points and CAD. Really interesting.

On the BHF ones you pay a fee to enter and that goes to the organising and charity. Then you can choose to raise money for them or for your chosen charity. I'd prefer a day one, but not adverse to a 2 dayer.

I'd prefer to do something organised and official, means I can advertise it more on virgin trains websites and internal company stuff, might so the Peak District challenge again but would prefer something different.

I did the Peak District Challenge last year with Gaz for charity. This year I'm doing it for celebrateadaywithluke.wordpress.com/He's a little had with a really terrible heart condition and I've agreed to do a MTB challenge to raise some funds this year. By the way all te stockport station stuff on that site is my doing and the lady behind Winnie the Pooh in Starbucks is my mrs working this morning! Question is, does anyone know of any decent MTB rides out there I could do? Cheers.

Hi, My brother gave me some Easton Vice to fix, the hub has a tube through it that has snapped. My brother said I need part number EA8005956 but I can't find what I'm after. Here's a picture:

Doesn't sound too bad for XC riding though?

Cheers mate, not had any bites though so far. eBay listings for all the parts start tonight.

Bit of both, I love a tinker. The reason I've saved the high spec drivechain parts is because the reviews of the 901 say everythings bang on apart from the drivechain.

I've put my order in on Cycle to Work Scheme. Sad to have to sell the El Guapo, but that will free up some funds for moving into new home.
Cannot wait. New house, new bike. Had a bit of a test ride and the bike was like nothing I've ever ridden. Unbelievably planted, odd geomertary.
I have some really good quality parts I've been saving, my question is do I put them on the 901?
I've got XTR Cranks, 1x10 set up, XT Mech, Zee Shifter with One Up 42T Chainring. Easton Haven Carbon Bars.
What would you do?

Cheers for all the help fellas. I can't post sales on here. But it's on STW. I trust Gaz to vouch for me that I'm a decent enough bloke though and wouldn't knowingly rip anyone off, so if you want a look it's on there.

I've got a Fulcrum Red Metal 3 Front Wheel that's going on my work bike so I need the hub reducing from 15mm to a QR. There's so many parts that kind of look like they'll do the job but I want to be sure.
Also I've got an Easton Vice Rear Wheel 26'' with a broken hub, anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Howdo Jonny. Yep ... I remember your name .. What took you so long? Welcome. Got a bit fed up with MTBE so didn't really go on there for a few months, when I did go on there it had all kicked off and people were eating banned left right and centre.

I saw you lot Macky, stopped on the bridge near the reservoir. Think I ended up finishing the final climb with a few of you too.
I was the lad with the white and orange el guapo.
