To be honest not sure when I'm going to be able to do it, i'm moving house at the end of the month and the car still needs to be MOT'd, also going to Norway for a weekend... :cry:
I will however be buying the Cupra bushes and having them fitted.

Nice little route that mate.

What phone you got? if your using a Nokia, use Nokia Sport tracker, it is sick! I use it for most of my rides and it's cool to see all the stats.

I use an HTC Hero with Google My Tracks - which is essentially Google Maps with tracking and stats. When I upload the track the stats get punted into Google Docs as a spreadsheet (yawn, yawn, yawn)...
On the phone it gives me 3 screens; the map - with track, a elevation/speed graph, and a list of all speeds and distances... pretty good fun tbh...

Preikestolen, also known by the English translations of Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, and by the old local name Hyvlatonnå, is a massive cliff 604 metres (1982 feet) above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, in Forsand, Ryfylke, Norway. The top of the cliff is approximately 25 by 25 metres (82 by 82 feet) square and almost flat, and is a famous tourist attraction in Norway.

I've had it for 9 years now and recently things have started to go wrong... so I took it to Dales for some repairs... £265 later...

Parts list...
  • HG50 (11 -32) 9 Speed Cassette
  • PC951 SRAM Chain
  • UN54 BS 73-113mm Square Bottom Bracket

  • 2 x Inner 1.2mm Cables
  • 36 x Silver Spokes
  • SG351 Wheel RIM
  • 1 Pack of Brass Nipples
  • Labour £40

Work carried out...
  • Fitted new chain and cassette
  • Cleaned chainset and both mechs in parts washer
  • Fitted new bottom bracket as old unit was worn with play
  • Reset gears front and rear
  • Fitted new inner gear cables and outer rear cable fitted
