Should be possible, but do you promise to use them all? ;)

It is possible mate but not advisable as the chain is running across at an angle. Mine is more of a jump bike so only has two at the front. If I'm am in the big fella at the front I only go as high as third at the back and vice versa if I am using the little fella at the front. Whao, listen to my tech talk  :D.

What you got then mate and whats you plans? Something you want to get into or you on a health kick? Give me a shout if you ever fancy a blast and I'll show you how to pick up some quality injuries  :D

Dot think ive ever bought a RTR bike, building them is much more fun and satisfying! Good on ya. I'm running out of room for bikes, I have 3 built up and 2 frames sat about, would like a road bike now but think I might get shot for trying to fit it in the garage. Bikes are addictive.

You been out much then?

If you want a new one I have a simple solution. Lets go up to Kielder and break the one you have got. The Black route rocks! My mate face planted last time we went down that one, funny now but at the time he could of quite easliy killed himself...oh how we laughed ;D ;D ;D
