I'd echo Ben a little here. Although my opinion of the Canyon ^ still holds true, if I were in your position right at this moment, I'd buy a Longitude frame set and use the remaining £1100 to build it into a great bike. Granted, it probably wouldn't be as light as the Canyon but it'd be tough and v...

Not much help to you but if it was a size smaller I would have snapped your hands off! I'm only 5'10 so no way it would got.

Good luck with the sale!

Very,very tempting!

Many thanks all! I think i shall pass and save up a few more pennies to pick up a better set once i finally go 29!

I dont have a 29er frame at the moment, but am giving it serious considerations! Are these wheels any good? http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPOOTW29/o ... et-29-inch £80 seems a bit of a bargain, thought it appears to be for the 9mm front & rear option.

My trusty on one 456! I was hoping to have a stooge or longitude for it, but I won't be able to raise the funds in time!

That looks very nice and id be tempted if i didnt already have the all the bags i needed (famous last words)

Looking to pick up a set of x-kings for my on one, I can get the standard ones for £18.99 each from Chain Reaction (also have a 5% off code) or the protection version for £39 each.

Is it worth the extra £20?

Sorry for yet more daft questions!

Just wondered how people had gone on with these over the winter? As I am just about to start commuting on my bike again I need to try and make myself a little more visible which is tough with limited space to place lights.

Just seen this on STW - http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic ... ameset-175 was tempted but no way I could get there to collect and no knowing how much delivery will cost. May be worthwhile for someone a little closer.

May be a bargain for someone! http://www.michael-cl-hodgson.co.uk/lan ... CKLE-TARN/

Having fitted my pre bled brakes this morning I'm a bit frustrated that I will have to bleed them as there is too much travel on the lever. Guess my expectations for the brakes was too high. Have you tried adjusting the screw on the lever? Nope :oops: didnt realise there was one! I will certainly b...

Having fitted my pre bled brakes this morning I'm a bit frustrated that I will have to bleed them as there is too much travel on the lever. Guess my expectations for the brakes was too high. The brakes do work very well though I very happy with them. Just have always had problems when bleeding brake...

I would happily pay/donate for one!

Two new rotors from ribble cycles. Gives me something to do this afternoon.

New Deore brakes from CRC. Ordered yesterday lunch, arrived today! Cracking service.

Just waiting on the rotors from Ribble Cycles as it was the only place I could find the 180mm RT66 rotors.

So its the forks i need to check! Thanks. I believe they are RockShox Revelations, they were the standard which came with the 456 i bought back in 2011.

One final question, am I correct in thinking it is a post to post mount i need for the front caliper with using a 180mm rotor?

Many thanks for the swift responses! I shall get them ordered along with some new tyres, probably 2.2 race kings!

Morning all, just about to order some brakes from Merlin for my On One 456 and im going to go with Deore M615. I also want some new rotors too, so will get the Shimano RT-66 ones. Before i ordered though, I just wondered what people recommended for bike packing duties, 180mm up front/160mm at the re...

Thankfully managed to book the childminder for the little un for the bank holiday monday (better half is working) so i have a free pass and am in! Looking forward to it just need to sort the bike out now.

I like the look of them and am giving one serious thought to replace my 456. Then i think for an extra £75 i could get a stooge!

Probably a long shot now, but if there is one left I would like one please

On the sportpursuit site they've got the Outdoor research 'Nighthaven' tap tent for £60 http://content.backcountry.com/images/items/large/ODR/ODR0347/AL.jpg Other (OR) gems (just ordered) include a little drybag for your phone which has a touch sensitive window and waterproof headphone jack built i...

For me, its to actually get out and ride. I found myself making excuses for not going out, which meant the only riding i did was pretty much my commute to work. I dont need any knew gear, I just need to make use of what i have got. I am also taking the Garmin off my bike. Im fed up at looking at tim...
