Ouch! What happened?
Christ knows, was fettling around with it just now trying to fix my gearing and just noticed it. It's booked in on Saturday anyway for it's first service and I've got a list of things I'm not happy about with it, looks like this is going to be another thing on there.

Ah shoe pimpage..
Not quite the same colour anymore
Are they the Sam Hill edition? Looking good! Look like they can take a fair beating

Yea, well it's only 3 weeks old so hopefully it will be covered by warranty. Don't fancy spending ~£90 on a new one

Yup just took it for a little ride runs smoothly and shifts well, and zero chain slap
happy chappy , also from that pic i moved it up around 3cm and moved the roller as close as it will go without touching the bash, seems to be the way to setp them up.

Lol Bash is an E-Thirteen, and chain device is Blackspire.
Yep, Sam Hills. They're big and chunky, and really, really grippy. Apparently not much cop in the winter though, so I'll have to something else for then I think.

And the guide allows movement on the lower 2 rings? Some of the ones I have seen are single

Yup i never ever used it, even on the road, with my middle ring and in the small rear i can keep a respectable 22mph going, thats fast enough for me lol. Off road ive never touched the big ring in my life.

likewise, it's something I've been planning for a while as I really push it on the trails. The noise from the chain is quite annoying..

Hullo chaps.
Just been out to the shed to install some new bearings and thought I'd try out my new superstar brake pads whilst I was at it. The brakes are Stroker Trail Carbons.
It's the first time I've replaced disk brake pads, I can't get both pads in as there isn't enough room between the caliper, each pad will snap in fine on it's own, but I can't get both in never mind put the disc between!
They look identical to my current pads apart from having a lot more material on. What am I supposed to do?
