Mountain bikes, road bikes etc

My main steed giant reign 2005 iirc built her myself from the ground up
great fun on the am dh stuff not so great on the climbing LOL

 

Used to do a lot of downhill, this used to be my steed until I sold it in 2012.

Built it all up brand new, best bike I had ever owned.





Moved to something a little more AM now, as the thought of coming off and breaking more bones is a little too much of a deterrent for me to ignore.



(I apologise for the dismal picture), it's a 2011 Specialized Enduro Evo Expert.

Goes up just as well as it goes down. Brilliant all rounder.

 

Well bikes is my daily grind, anyone need advice or parts or even a bike let me know, we do all cycle schemes too including halfords. www.jccookcycles.co.uk or Facebook JC cook
(my pitch done)

 

Here is mine.
2013 lapierre zesty 514.

What one you after glen?

 

Doh! Re read post ya just got boardman, but wait tell me your budget and you can still send that back for a refund, cube are way better and we got quite a few bikes on offer too,

 

What sort of price can you get for a Cube Analog 2013?

Found a brand new one on eBay for £470, which I'm quite tempted by.

 

Nearly All the 2013 stock has gone now and when a cube mountain bike goes down in price it dont stand about long and belive it or not quite a few of the 2014 are running out,
we also do Orange, Ridley, Marin, to name a few, We are also just building a "bike superstore" new build, the steel has gone up this week

 

Happy to see some mtb riders here
2013 Lapierre Spicy 514 in bmw colours

 

What i had to do today, build the cube Hanzz SL (£3,095) and fit some hope brakes and pedals (£120 for pedals stupid!!)
and build up a KTM ltd anniversary bike,
aswell as the other crap i had to deal with

 

This is is mine, full carbon Planet X build.

 

Hi guys.
My AM ride is a 2012 Santa Cruz Nomad - satin clear. Running 2013 FOX talas 160.

 

I'm still riding a 2001 stump jumper comp. it's got me to work everyday,all weathers.
Looking for a new ride soon. May try a road bike as I've got a 20 mile round trip nearly everyday.

 

Get some oil on ya chain!! And a new tube in the front

 

Aye ano been in a shed for years lol will be cleaning it up this week

 

Ya brake is on the wrong side unless ya a lefty coz running one brake ya want ya strongest hand to use it, but most leave it as is when ya pull front off

 

Aye av always have then on the left side never used a front brake lol just getting back into it my mates buyn a dh bike next week so thot I should get or cleaned and ready to use

 

nice

 

Do u build bikes up? Are the bottom brackets pretty easy to do?

 

Yup i build, fix and sell bikes, the bottom bracket ant too bad its more the correct tools for the job, all you need to remember is the right hand side (drive side) is left hand thread

 

What sort of tool would it be as it kept snapping brackets years ago so was going to put a new/ better 1 in? Cheers tho

 

first you will need a 8mm allen key to take ya crank bolts off, and it looks like it could be isis b/b so you will need a crank remover for the bigger hole and a shimano b/b tool, could do with a few close up pics to be sure, all tools for around £20-£30 depending on quality and where from. hope it helps john.

 

if its an isis b/b and you have no side ways movement then leave it as they are quite strong

 

I'll have a check tomorro as it's in bits in my boot so I can take it to work and clean it all up nd tht so will check. Cheers for the info tho defo know who to ask if I'm stuck lol

 

Yep no worrys anytime

 

Had this
Then did this

So a year later sold it.
Knee now fixed so just got hold of this.

Excited!

 

That's one nasty cut how did u manage that. Nice bike

 

Big smash on the red run at Dalby Forest. Had my knee pads in my bag. Whoops.

 

Offt bet that hurt me nd my mate were talking about all the crashes and tht we used to have nd I just brought back so many funny memories

 

Haha! Yep. Love biking injury chat. I tried to walk that off but every time I pinched it together it opened up again.:eek:

 

Need to carry a small tube super glue as back up.

 

I really need to grow up. I have a lovingly specced bmx and a fuji track bike for long distances.

Anyone into seriously old bikes? I have a 1930s (pretty sure its 1937) hercules roadster in the shed thats mid "restoration/rat-rodding" but have hit a bit of a snag with handlebars

 

I recently bought a Cube Attention, off Gumtree.

Haven't been out on it yet, hopefully get a chance over the weekend.

 

Just buy this one

 

Got this the other day, getting back into mtb'ing my first 29er
