Hey guys, what sort of giant is this, not going to buy it but the frame looks pretty cool

That's a bit steep, but would be plenty of fun. Would probably suit your style too. People used to build those up for pedal up bomb down riding.

Someone must have pulled the peanut up on it, because the ad heading now says Santa Cruz....

Pity they didn’t pull him up on the extra zero.

Is the cheap ass dot4 fluid from autobahn the same as the SRAM stuff? Any reason not to use it?

reason not to use it? Because you'll never really know...I've used plenty of off brand dot fluids over the years and not had issues.

Other than it being for SRAM brakes?

Dot 4 is dot 4. Scam brake fluid is nothing special.

@Jpez look up reviews on the stuff. It’ll work fine in your brake. I whacked some motorex stuff in my hopes I bought from a moto shop. Worked fine.

Was waiting for that. Heavy eye roll.

Cheers. Yeah thought as much but always worth asking a question before ending up in the FW thread(again)

@Jpez look up reeviews on the stuff. It’ll work fine in your brake. I whacked some motorex stuff in my hopes I bought from a moto shop. Worked fine.

My comment was relating to my displeasure with SRAM brakes, not the specificity of the correct brand in SRAM brakes. @Jpez gets it...but wishes he didn’t.

Remember to put some in your eyes.

I reject your reality, and replace it with my own.

That’s just a given. Not even a surprise anymore.

I'm replacing my cassette which is 11-42 with an 11-46.

How many more chain links will I need on the new chain.

I'm tired after painting walls all day and full of French onion soup and red wine so need the collective minds to provide a simple answer. Xx

New bike time

Stirk the answer is full XTR groupset.

The collective mind has agreed XTR is the answer, we are anticipating domestic tension, so we have agreed your lovely wife shall take the kids away to see her parents for the entire school holidays.

Hope this is acceptable. Shall we leave a note next to the kettle so she finds it?

 

[stirk]

With this advice and a bottle of red wine in my belly I'm not going near the bike tonight as there is only one thread I'll end up in...

Fek and I want to ride tomorrow!

I'll slap on the old drive train again and wear it out some more.

2 links or 4??

 

[pink poodle]

72

 

[Cardy George]

I thought it was 42

 

[pink poodle]

Maybe it was 7? I think new bike is his best option.

 

[rockmoose]

Wouldn't the old 'pantyhose as a fanbelt' trick do the job?
