XTR CRANK FITTING - help
Hi, Fitting XTR cranks followed intructions - just want to double check I did it right.
I have a 68m bottom bracket so I put the two spacers on the drive side and one on the left - with the crank arm fitted there is a gap between crank arm and bearing - doesn't look right i.e. will let dirt in - and what does that adjustment nut do that sits inside the crank arm?
Thanks
3 servicing questions
I'm just about to go over my bike before the 'Angry Doctor' in a few weeks.
1 - Do I need any 'special' grease for the front neck bearing after I clean it? Or will just normal bearing grease from SCA do the same thing...
2 - Is it possible to 'service' the derailleur? Not adjusting gears, but actually applying some lubricant to springs etc.
3 - If I have to change brake pads mid-race, do you have to push the pistons back in? And if so, how do you then bleed the air out of your brakes mid-race??? I have always bled my brakes completely when changing pads.

Hi Mob,
I know its early days but just thought I'd give you the heads up on a trail running event scheduled for Sunday 7th November.

There will be some activity up until the date with mums and dads and kids running walking etc. Take care please.
Have a go if you want a break from your trusty steed.

a xc tour of menais best bits including mini north shore fun stuff (not compulsory) mostly single track with some technical climbs and descents,
regrouping stops to make sure we dont loose any one but most of all FUN about 25km but will probably feel like more 
ride will be moderate pace
but can vary depending on wot the group wants.
Red hill
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Red Hill Reserve car park, off Lady Penryhn Drive, Beacon Hill. Another option is to ride over here from Oxford Falls.
Absolutely super keen for a technical ride!!! Never ridden red hill before so would be great to get some assistance i.e a well seasoned red hill rider.
Thanks.

I wanted to get a big ride in before the Angry Doctor so I set out with Jon (loki) to do just that. This was a chance to test food, salt and water intake and fitness. This was going to be my biggest mountain bike training ride.
Happy with this after having ridden 80km beforehand
Lap 2 here:
This was after having ridden ~80km and 6 hours, and first time on this track.
What a blast!
Terrey Hills update for 15 Aug
Rode Perimeter & Long today and it's not as wet as one might have thought. Where large puddles form the water has stayed but otherwise pretty good condition.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
