S'why I like Matt. Way I see it, Neil goes big because he's f**king good at what he does. Same as me going small, because i'm rubbish at it

To be fair, this really isn't that interesting a photograph. Plus, it belongs in chit-chat, if anywhere at all. Suppose I should congratulate you for taking the time to make an effort though. Well done

Awesome . I look forward to hearing your next interview with a trials star May i recommend a Coustellier brother? Please?

Agreed! Surely not naturally possible for the rest of us! We established a distance yet, cos that looks f**kin' beast

Lucky for JT I'll be ringing you tomorrow

So you lads are considering asking for the wheelbuild details in advance so you can save time on the day, but you'd build up a black and silver chain? Personally, I'd give him the nicest possible punch in the face

That was really good lucien, very impressed, the french to english translation is very nicely done. A few tiny snags if you want me to be picky with some of the language used, if you'd like me to translate anything from your interview, i'm always around to help Again, well done. Dean

Superb idea fellas Bought my super-soft compound , for a super-soft kinda guy! Would go abit sick if i won i think!

Well, wheelbase is 1035 with wheel right forwards in the dropout, so there's some form of bend in there.. I'll ring tomorrow I thinks. Ta Dean

You could quite easily be a very feminine looking male , no offence meant, yes you did.

that was a clever comment, seeing as you have a picture of a woman as your avatar? Is that what you look like? Funny for someone named Jake. Shut up. Saves me editing.. On another note, thanks to anyone who helped out with my question. I'm thinking I will see where this ends out, it's the creaking sound that worries me, seeing as its been plaguing me since I noticed the forks were raking a little more than I thought normal

Oh, thats odd. thanks

I was thinking some zedd's! That way i'll get them half price, 35 odd quid for forks of that quality = good! edit : took a look at the forks, they do appear to bend just under the last part of the steerer if you know what i mean? Where do I go from here?

Yeah, it was an insurance replacement, lol. Are the forks actually bent? It certainly looks like it!

Right, had the forks that come as stock on a t-comp for a little while now (2 months), and they've bent so so much, I really think soon they're gonna go. + the creakings quite annoying now! Where do i stand on warranty? I really dont want to ride forks like that, despite being not at all heavy on the front. Ta for any help/advice lads! (and lasses) Dean

nice bike btw , looks like a fun ride!

AND THATS THAT!

I find this sometimes when getting used to new brakes. I sometimes pull without realising, as stupid as it sounds, it does happen. Try to work around it, and (if you are grabbing it without realising), you might get out of the newly found habit!

Followed the hill + water = steam, method! Works a treat really, thoroughly rcommended :] Thanks lads !

Ta lads, will post tomorrow with an update after following the above advice :] xxx

Do you lose performance again though? or does this really work? Ta Dean

Got my newly fitted bb7 back this morning, and it's pretty good, but not as good as it could be (from trying friend's brakes). I've bedded it in a bit using the ole' water+short fast stops, and it's good with the water on, squeals like a b*****d too! But as soon as the waters dried, performance ebbs away a bit, is it just a case of using it and the power will come? or is there an alternative? many thanks Dean

Not if you have a pneumatic drill

Perfecttt Any other opinions/views?
