Test, maybe

Right doing some testing, someone reply to this a few times please

I think what you need to do is "Unfollow" the topic at the top, then refollow it but set the notification when you do to "Offline" rather than "Immediate". I have a feeling you have a manual immediate subscription that thread alone.

Weird, I'll try and do some testing later, see if I can get it to do the same

Well had a cracking weekend in coed and Antur really enjoyed it and punished the bike! Can't remember my bloody account for photobucket but as soon as I sort it ill get some pictures up!!

 

One picture here if you can find it I'm in the red royal top looking like my heads about to explode lol

 

Boom!

Strava b0rked it. Try going into your Strava activity, hit "More" > "Embed on blog" > grab the URL between the XXXXX between the quotes of src='XXXXXX' and just whack it in. Forum should spot it, et voila

I'll see if I can make something more elegant!

I think Strava changed how they do it. I'll have a look when I get home. How you finding the Lev?

Read the docs carefully, is it 3MB or is it "Upto 3MB"? I'd bet my house its the latter. In which case you are stuffed. Why on earth did you sign up for £45/mo for Upto 3MB though? Thats woeful. I pay £11.50/mo for Infinity via PlusNet, which is a hell of a deal, but their standard offerings arent that much. Probably about a tenna a month for Upto 3Mb.

Do you have auto subscribe enabled under the User Control Panel ( http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications )? Can you tell me what its set to? I have mine on "Offline" and it only sends me updates once per thread until I read it.

Just think of the hand-me-downs you can bagise, though I'm not like Sarnie and I do fit and use new parts before selling them

Aye 70g an end. I've just saved ~50g an end going tubeless and didnt really notice anything, so cant see ENVE's making any real difference for ~£1500 outlay (if I reused my Hope hubs). Maybe next bonus I will spash out, rather use the money for a Bronson though

I've just always hankered after a carbon SC - no matter which one

Worked out I'd save 140g swithing to ENVE's so not really worth it on the current frame.

So that was him thrashing you and not the other way round? Tell him I like him a lot hahaha, now you know what we feel like

Yeah can't see me bothering with carbon stumpy, the standard one is just the front triangle so not really worth it. The S-Works is all carbon but mega bucks. Bronson C is what I'd be gunning for I think, major upgrade though so maybe in a few years! Can't really knock the Stumpy as it is, maybe get a new paint job to spruce it up as the matte paint is looking a bit shabby while the rest of it is pretty mint now with all the replacements.

You gonna lend me the dosh for some ENVEs then? I'm not convinced they'd be much lighter than my current ones, but guess a lot stiffer

Is that about 12kg?? Riding that must feel like driving a tank ...I'm currently trying to get the weight on the road bike down to below 7.5kg, and even than I still think it's 0.5kg too heavy

Road bike is currently at 19lbs but thats bog standard. Still MTB is a bit quicker down the rough stuff

Whats most shocking is my old hardtail was 28lbs and that was considered light XC when I got it and that only had 100mm of travel at the front. To have 140mm both ends and a dropper post isnt too shabby me thinks. Carbon frame next year I reckon, that will drop a wee bit more.

Was curious of the weight of my bike so got some scales and decided to weight it, not bad me thinks.

Looks awesome Mr AK

Be sure to get pics James! Sure you'll love Stiniog.

XX1 has arrived, know what I'll be doing tonight

 

Lamenting how much you paid for a cassette?

Har har. I clearly dont ride as hard as you as my stuff seems to last longer Apparently the coating on the new cassette and chain is a lot harder than XX, seen a few comments from people who ran XX and mashed through cassettes in a few months who have been running XX1 for a year. So reckon with regular(ish) chain swaps it should last me a good while.

I've had to upgrade the hubs to Pro 2 Evos (change axle and bearings) so that it can take the XD freehub and managed to get that all done last night but it was too hot to carry on so have the cranks and rear mech to do tonight. Think I shouldnt have ridden home yesterday as it was too hot for it and bu**ered me! Hopefully get it all done tonight and a shakedown at Swinley tomorrow night

XX1 has arrived, know what I'll be doing tonight

My head said to wait for X01 but who knows how long that will take to arrive, plus BD had good money off the RRP of everything (like 30%) so actually it wasnt that expensive, cheaper than something like X0 or XTR 2x10. Given how much I paid I reckon it'll only be about £100 more than X01 will cost new when it lands.

Ended up with a 30t front, it gives me a little bit less top and bottom than my 2x9 (36/22 11-34) so should be perfect for everything I want. Was tempted by the 32t but it would have lost me some climbing gears which means I'd be stuck when we come visit you! Plus I don't often spin out at top speed so no real loss there, even if 30t looks a bit less manly. Its what they're specing on all the new bikes coming out with X01 so sounds good to me!

Have you also seen the X01 cassette is black? Wonder how much that will be when it lands. Apparently the cassettes all have the same 3hr+ machining its only the coatings that are different, so I will expect the X01 cassette to be pretty damn expensive too. Good job I dont go through them very often. They are meant to last a lot longer now (XX1 and X01) with the new coatings.

More bikies updated. Thanks to a colleague I headhunted for a job at work passing his probation, I got a nice little payout which has meant I've just ordered this tasty little lot from bike-discount (considerably cheaper than it is in the UK!)

Bling and carbon, yummy

This guy had a pretty good go a Strava hunting

He was a machine! Never seen anyone ride away from the group like that

I have a wife, 2 kids, a mortgage and 2 Zeds - I cant afford a mistress

Good cover story - the missus is watching after all

Did you not dare ask Mr Buster this?

One random shot just because this is a Zed forum...

Threlkeld Loop

Leaving Scotland and LakeZ behind, some time to get some Lakeland riding in. Threlkeld is a loop Andrew has been trying to get us to do for ages. It sits between back of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Threlkeld.

Amanda somewhere up Blencathra

Pee with a view
