I know it's genuine as it's come direct from Otterbox! It was a warranty replacement for one that developed a fault, but as I'm changing phones now, I don't need it.

If you want the ultimate protection for your iPhone 4/4s, this is it. All the info on it is here: http://www.otterbox.com/iPhone-4/4S-...one-4-defender

The one I have is black/black and fully boxed. And I have the paperwork from Otterbox to prove it's genuine.

I'm making a big deal about it being genuine cus about 99% of the cheap ones on Ebay and Amazon are not genuine, they're copies, and crap quality. A genuine Otterbox case is about the best protection you can get for an iPhone. I've actually dropped mine in the hot tub (hand went straight in after it) and the phone was fine. Officially they're not waterproof, but they can cope with a quick dunking OK.

In the shops in the UK they sell for anything from £35-50. O2 had them for £39.99 recently.

For this one I want £25. No offers.

Looks like this..

Cables are also new.

On the workstand everything works perfectly and all gears are selected smoothly. But when I actually ride the bike there is a lot of chain slipping in the larger chainring and the smaller 3-4 cassette cogs configuration.

When using the smaller chainring everything works perfectly - no slipping and ultra smooth shifting.

Any suggestions as to where to start?

Thanks

was doing a bit of riding up in Helens tower on Friday, got home and noticed there is quite a deep scratch in my stanchions. not sure if it was a rock of maybe my cassette when I had the bike packed in the boot of my car. Has anyone got any experience with this? is it easy enough to replace them yourself or is it best to send them off to Sram.

forgot to mention, the forks are 2010 Lyriks RC2 solo air
