phew! really felt todays ride.partly because theres some stiff climbing, partly because we were sometimes also battling against the wind, and also because yet again i didnt eat enough during the ride. why do i always do that? also punctured coming down burbage edge. tried to make the tubeless solution fill the hole and seal it up........nope! tried to repair the hole with the tubeless repair kit. well it seemed to repair the main hole but it was still leaking air between the rim and the bead, couldnt tell if it was another hole in the tyre or the rim that had taken a 'dink'. think i'll put in a tube...............REEESULT! anyway thanks for the company kirky, hope you enjoyed my local trails. a bit of trials riding on burbage edge nice viewpoint, dont step back kirky on stanage steps and again.

seems to me G that this was the original problem right at the beginning, which made you think the chain was sagging, wont the mech still be under warrenty?

thats interesting chris. i tried one on just the other day while i was in planetx in rotherham. i actually said to the guy that it looks like theres some padding missing at the back. there wasnt, thats just the shape of the helmet. a nice helmet i thought till i tried it on. i suspect this is a common complaint as originally it was supposed to be around 40-50 quid. then it came down in price even before it was available to buy.
