according to my weather app it`s only going to be lightly pissing down,that`s not bad considering it`s the lake district  So it'll be gale force winds and horizontal rain/sleet/snow then!!!!!!!! |

They tapped both sides because there was 'evidence of misalignment'.. They are also replacing the BB but they said that could take a couple of weeks. They're sending me some freebies too  |

Saying that you've got all the bits then it's straight forward I guess, did they put bottom bracket in for you? What freebies did you get? |

Saying that you've got all the bits then it's straight forward I guess, did they put bottom bracket in for you? What freebies did you get? They said they've put some freebies in the box but didn't say what.. It's due to arrive tomorrow! I'm hoping to get it built by Friday night but, I'm working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.. That leaves me with just the Friday! Aswell as build it up I have to bleed the Reverb and possibly the brakes (neither of which I've done before) after shortening the hoses (if they need shortening), tubeless-erise the tyres and set-up the suspension which has more nobs and dials than I know what to do with.. I've been toying with the idea of just dropping the lot off at the bike shop on Cannock Chase and getting them to do it. Two things stop me though 1, they're robbing chunts and 2, not sure they'll have it done in time! |

Large Rear Spoiler? ....lol You were correct about the rain though ..but the temperature does creep up to a massive 9c...but feeling like 6c with wind chill ..still it's not in the minus figures . Large rear spoiler?.. Nope there's already me on the bike!.. That's spoiler enough!.. |

Bare in mind I'll possibly need to bleed the Guides which fills me with visions of the trouble I had years ago with some Elixir brakes! The rest doesn't worry me in the slightest! Most of the set-up can be done at Whinlatter! I'll need new olives too if I shorten the brake hoses. |

Shortening the hoses and bleeding the reverb is a piece of piss, just use that vid that Paul put up last week, that's what I used and it was easy to follow. Just put tubes in for now, that'll save you some time too! |

Bloody brilliant! I was pretty sure that that could be re-tapped successfully. Absolute bonus that they have put their hands up and done it for you too. Chuffed for you Chief! |

I just want it up and running now, getting a bit fed-up with waiting lol. I'll see how I feel when it arrives tomorrow! |
