For me it was tubeless tyres – excellent.

Also re: riding something along the lines of look where you’re going to go rather than look where you are ie look further down the trail – improved my riding no end.

all the responses on my “what’s in your daypack?” thread.

Don’t eat Yellow snow

Go Singlespeed you will not regret it

Surprisingly started to ride a lot more and am now fit as a butchers dog@ 42 😀

Advice not to buy from IWH!
Other than that, helicopter tape was a useful discovery!
Had plenty of useful tech advice, the most useful was prob to bleed xt discs from the caliper up to the lever.

ah sorry, i paraphrased the title there!

Mr Agreeables post Here ? 😉

Sadly not my work snaps – that was posted by a bloke off the old Chocolatefoot.co.uk forum.

always get a cut of the gross, never the net

never start a land war in asia

How to free a stuck BB. Before that I hadn’t even heard of Plusgas.

Thanks TandemJeremy

A number of people advised me that I couldn’t simply alter the gearing of my singlespeed simply by grinding teeth off the rear cog. As a compromise I removed the teeth from the chainring instead, which had the desired results and lowered the gearing substantially. So thanks for the advice on that.

The welcome I got on here and from the guys who ride delamere on my first ride, hopefully a long friendship 😀

posting pictures of your shed will result in well earned ridicule

weeing in peoples shoes or owning someone with bombers sorts out all problems

Don’t trust men with beards.Or women for that matter.

Oh sorry – I thought you meant advice you wished you had got from STW

More Riding…… Less STW

how to lay a trailside cable?

mrs.flash once said she put her saddle down a teeny bit at the front.
I then did the same, oh joy, it made such a difference to my comfort.

Oh and soem one told me to relax my arms when descending rocky tracks, that really helped.

Don’t buy anything from IWH!

Eh? badlywireddog, you reduced your gearing by grinding off teeth from your chainring? Or was that an example of bad advice?

I’ve had plenty of great trail/camping advice from the likes of Druidh, Tandemjeremy, Stuart_C and a couple of others, always appreciated!

Mr Kelly’s tubeless guide was helpful too, I already knew the basics, but it made things a little easier for me.

You can make your own LED lights

You can make your own tubeless tyres

M&S insurance is pretty good

Why carry a big camelbak when you’re only out for a couple of hours?

Marketting can be hollow drivel and if your best bike is 10 years old so what? (and old kit ain’t necessarily ‘broken’)

You can take your off-the-shelf bike and do things to adjust the ride quite dramatically.

Singlespeeders are deviants (but strangely alluring)

Don’t take Picolax lightly.

That’ll do for now.

Dont use your brakes on a descent you’ll go faster (erm yeah?) Then following the trail guru down and watching as he lost it quite a few times some good stacks and he was determind to prove his point.
WHAT A HERO!
