Alas no. It only sheared off because I was desperately trying to tighten it yet again - I'm pretty sure the splines have been damaged since it just will not stay tightened.
Managed to shear the head off the pinch bolt of my Charge Regular cranks earlier, so need to get something else sorted fast as having to tighten up the main bolt every twenty minutes is getting old. I've been thinking of going back to the 3-piece cranks that came with the bike (Commencal Absolut...
What benefits Motion Control brings to a fork? I'm torn between Argyle 302s and 318s for my new fork and just don't know if the 318s are worth the extra cash - does the better model just give more on-the-fly adjustability or what?
I'm not fussed with being able to tweak it when I;m out, the...
Aaand.. the bloody things just got sold from out under my nose. Arse.
New options now include a pair of 2007 Dirt Jumper 2s, but the 20mm axle on that needs an allen key to get it off, doesn't it? I have to remove the front wheel a lot to chuck the bike in the car so that would be a lot of...

I've been offered an 05 Fox Vanilla RLC for...
There's always the avid rollamajig to eliminate the 'shimano loop'
I run SRAM, but I just like the word rollamajig too much to miss a chance to mention it ;)
I love my Absolut Cro-Mo to bits, it is a friggin beautiful bike to ride. No idea how it would handle with 24s but it just feels solid as hell and wants to be thrown at stuff that I wouldn't have touched on my old bike.
Ok, I need a bit of help here. My cranks were creaking so I've taken them apart, wiped down the interface and put a bit of grease on.
Put it all back together (I hope the right way!) but I can't seem to locate the bolt-on chainring quite right - the chain will be pulled completely taut at...
