A couple of things to tidy up, I'll be changing the bash guard, and I'll be sorting out the seatpost cable once I am certain of the height I'll be running it at.

Well as some of you know, i have been looking for a new bike for free ride for a while but have not yet found the perfect one.
I came across this website the other day and someone on another forum has bought a downhill bike off it.

So I have decided on the devinci wilson frame for my new dh build but it has a different size seat post to the giant so does anyone have 31.6mm post I can purchase at a reasonable price. doesnt matter if it has been cut down.

cheers

So given the nice big dink in the Giant's chainstay and my impending pay cut I am very tempted to get a new frameset for DH use.

As most of you know I use the Giant for anything gravity related in the UK and the once a year trip to the alps. I will keep the same set up so totem coil up fron, saint brakes, sas wheels etc.

Starting to get a bit of stiction on the air forks.

Been using a smear of Teflon Dry Lube and wiping them down but read that using a silicone spray is good for 'lubing' the stanchions? Googled around and found some products from various websites and even a recommendation to use a car silicone dashboard cleaner :?

Any recomendations out there?

So some of you have seen me wearing my own brand of biking gear BAMSH clothing and I am waiting for a deal with a design company Matt knew to sell it more widely but in the mean time i thought you guys might like to buy some stuff.

The design principles are simple, clear designs with a biking theme.

Most of the designs are in a gallery on this forum
