Me mates just bought a new (though a 2012 model i think) cannondale claymore, its a beast compared to me canyon. 180mm fox 36 forks look mental compared to 32's. Its well over the top for a trail whip but it does look like it'll be fun on downhill sections. I'll get some pics up when i get a chance

Obviously a lot lower level than most of you but I recently bought my wife a Bobbin Birdie. It's a pashley style traditional bike.
I also bought a basket which fits to the handlebars by 2 leather straps but whenever I try to fit it, it seems to crush the brake cables and make them overly tight with little travel.
How do I go about easing the brakes up?

If you want it insured (and next day) that probably about the best around. You could try a site like parcel2go but the standard insurance is non existent and by the time you add that on RM is cheaper.
TFT use interlink but I'm not sure they do non-business.
Pretty sure their insurance cover is limited, they were on p2g suggested list but ruled them out.
@kieranv - That looks like an interesting wee route around Carron Valley you took yesterday:-

So just do the initial climb up then onto the fire-track road and right past the start of the runway?. Could you talk me through that direction wise, will have a bash at it next time I'm up there.

Serviced my Lyriks on Sunday.
Lowers removed, Mission Control unit and Solo Air unit's removed and serviced.
New Dual Flow rebound damper installed , fresh seals oil and O Rings all round
Took about 3 hours all in but fork now feels amazing, and is now essentially an RC2DH.
Next up, the very average Monarch RT3 shock

Yeah, I was with a friend who just had his single speed jump bike out so he was mostly pushing up the climbs and didn't want to go the top, hence the short loop and climbs being slow.
Basically just do the first climb to the fireroad, then turn right and pedal up the fire road until you get to the runway. just misses out the full top section, the only descent is the runway.
