    Anyone else keep tarantulas?

    Just wondering like :). I've got a Mexican Red Knee called Phoebe and a Chile Rose called Tidge.

    Northwest ride

    Anyone else doing the Manchester to Liverpool on 30th May? I'm doing it with a mate from work - hopefully help to get me fit :). It's 38 miles and starts at the Quays in Salford and follows the Trans-Pennine trail all the way into Scouseville. I'll be doing it on the Yates to show that...

    Getting cheesed off with SS...

    Finally got all the kit together to SS my Diablo. 16 tooth non-Surley Surley cog, half-width bolts, Cyclosolo spacer ring kit and Surley Singleator. Unfortunately with a 32 tooth front, the chain is the worst possible length. With the Surley pulling down, the chain slips on the power stroke...

    Curiously compulsive viewing...

    VIDEO An odd thing to do but it shows how cool some modern kit is. Mind you, as a devoted Pace fork owner, I still reckon anything over an inch of travel is just plain extravagant :lol: . Nice trails as well.

    Might go single-speed...

    Been thinking of single-speeding my bike but I've got a couple of Q's for the experts on here :). Where do you get single-ring cranks and what BB interfaces do they have and... do the thin-type rear cogs eat into the freehub body and damage it at all? TIA :).

    Brake suggestions for '92 bike?

    Joining this place has got me thinking. My '92 Dave Yates has got ~2001 XT V brakes on the back and ~2001 Arch Rivals on the front. The brakes are faultless but seeing all the lovely bikes on here has got me thinking... Should I go back to canti's? If yes, anyone selling any? And last...

    Pace fork decals

    Spent a few hours yesterday drawing these (none of it's text - I had to mic every character and actually draw it :( ) as the ones on my forks were torn. I'm going to ask Gil_m if he can produce them. If anyone's interested in a set, just let me know. They're for the RC-35 with the CNC...

    'Orrible job!

    Just received my Pace RC35 kevlar forks from Brocklanders023 and they looked fantastic on the outside. No scratches, all parts present and correct etc. I took the two bolts out the leg bottoms and noticed the rebound elastomers were a bit crumbly - ho hum I thought. I pulled the legs off and...

    Degreasing tip.

    Just needed to clean the grease and muck off my Pace forks steerer so I decided to try a can of brake and clutch cleaner spray and it's phenomenal! It's basically a high pressure jet of solvent in a can and it removes every spec of grease - even blew all the rust out the threads :).

    Hi from a new guy.

    Hi everyone :) . Just had to join tonight after Google brought me to a Dave Yates thread here! I was seriously into mountain biking when I lived in Aberdeen in the early 90's. While I was there I had a Dave yates Diabolo built for me which got a lot of use and abuse. About 9 years ago, I...
