http://rideitfixit.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Friday, 29 June 2012. A quick update on my recent reviews, now Ive been using the bits review for a few months. Monday, 25 June 2012. A really short post today - oddly enough with it being summer I'm out riding a bit more than I am fixing things. So today its just a few links to resources for Marzocchi's big. Just remember: PAR chamber must. Be 15psi more than main air chamber. Http:/ www.marzocchi.com/System/55345/ATA%20SETUP.pdf. Forum links on common issues:.

Ride It, Fix It: Intense Tire Systems 909 DH part 2
http://rideitfixit.blogspot.com/2013/04/intense-tire-systems-909-dh-part-2.html
Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Intense Tire Systems 909 DH part 2. Part 1 is here. Well, I'd hoped to have ridden on the ITS 909s a bit more recently, but a combination of illness and broken bike has kept me off the trails. Finally I have got out and given these things a run. I'd love to say I've had a proper decent amount of time on them, but there we are, I haven't yet, only a few rides. So, how do they go? What didn't I ride on? I have no idea about. Yes, definitely....

Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Saturday, 28 July 2012. Ghetto Tubeless Do and Don't. Tuesday, 17 July 2012. Sometimes, you can't DIY. With a combination of the rubbish UK weather and an injured shoulder, I've only been riding the road bike lately. I had two mysterious flat tyres within the space of few days. both without any thorns, and both while the bike was in the car. Easy enough to fix, if a bit of a pain and cut short a ride or two. So what was behind the mystery? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ride It, Fix It: Intense Tire Systems 909 DH
http://rideitfixit.blogspot.com/2013/03/intense-tire-systems-909-dh.html
Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Monday, 18 March 2013. Intense Tire Systems 909 DH. Following some recent advice I decided to purchase a set of DH rubber for the big bike. I'm hardly pushing the boundaries of crazy riding but rumour has it that a decent set of big treads is an idea on a bike being used on DH tracks. However, I kind of like how they lay out their range. Split down the middle between XC, and AM/FR/DH. No low budget options, no high budget options, just pick your desired use and con...

Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Tuesday, 11 September 2012. Bleedin' 'ell, guv. A lot of Elixir. Recently, Ive added a couple of pairs of Avids Elixir brakes to the RideItFixIt garage. Second hand pairs mind, that had some problems. Problems which thankfully turn out (so far) to mean by jove, these brakes are in need of a jolly good bleeding. Ive also had to bleed another pair not long ago - thats a few bleeds Ive done lately. A trip round the Elixir lever, or how TaperBore (TM). Bleedin ell, guv.

http://rideitfixit.blogspot.com/2013/02/upgraditis-2.html
Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Wednesday, 13 February 2013. Well, I had managed to get the utility bike put together on budget. and then, wouldn't you Adam and Eve it, the trouble and strife wants her wheels back. Clearly, a fine excuse for fettling together a replacement set, if ever I done hear one. Sharks With Frickin' Lasers. I fancy lasers. . Laserdiscs, that is. Sadly not, my budget ran out. I will have to make do with. Ill Tempered Sea Bass. Alpina ACI (2mm-1.7mm-2mm) spokes. These hubs, ...

Ride It, Fix It: Inflation
http://rideitfixit.blogspot.com/2013/09/inflation.html
Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Monday, 16 September 2013. I quite fancied a nice old school style frame pump for the old school style road bike. Big is better, right? On the basis that it was worth a punt (£6, what could possibly go wrong) I bought one of these:. Mmm, plasticky. Again. Rocket, Pocket, etc. With that in mind, I wondered, do Topeak do a nice frame fit pump? So, this time, £20 well spent. Although in a weird way, I hope I never have to use it….

Ride It, Fix It. Stuff I do with bikes. Tuesday, 30 October 2012. Keeping Your Backside Dry. SKS Commuter Mudguards Review. I needed some guards for a road going mountain bike, the SKS commuter guards seemed to fit the bill: high quality - low cost - full length mudguard set with high quality - stainless-steel fittings from the producers of the World s finest mudguards.
