Dodders (on the cube) flatted a Hans dampf with inner tube on the last decent.

Me and the wife were both running nevegal 2.1 ust on flow rims and faired well.

Chrissyj was on conti rq-bc-ust on flow tubeless and survived.

I sometimes get a bit bored when It’s just one descent after another on a video……I thought I’d mix them up a bit 8)

Minion DHF dual ply on the front, tubeless. Swalbe Rocket Ron on the back, with one of them tube things in, whilst I get around to replacing the rim…

No punctures, but then I ran the same in Morzine last year and didn’t have punctures there, either. I guess I’m just lucky that way (or not riding hard enough!!!)

Oh – and the Rohloff was amazingly brilliant!!! (sorry if I offended your ears, Hora!)

Rachel

Tubed Nobby Nics, I pinched the rear coming down pindale and do the same on most rides with a bit of rock involved.

Need new tyres so I can set them up tubless as the current sidewalls are ****! Can’t decide which tyres to get though!

Rachel, hora offends peoples’ eyes so call it karma.

This forum so needs a like button on occasion… 😉

I can’t believe I’ve been trying to link up with one of your Pootles for over, what 5 years now 😯

They ALWAYS fall when I’ve got the children *bashing head against the wall smiley*

Pook are you glad I stayed quiet and hidden mainly on Sat?

Someone even commented that I’m quieter in person/real life.

I’d try a Rodolholf (smashes keyboard to enable spelling) – the only issue is the cost/outlay for me.

I missed you you hunk of love you

“onward Julian. Tally ho!” had thinking we were some sort of mock fox hunt.

Well done Pook! The pootles look like a lot of fun and it is great that you include “all abilities”. I did think I might be ‘too old’, but will try to make the next outing and see how it goes.
Have enjoyed following the banter and watching the videos – Chest mounts are new to me, but seem a much better option.
I recognize some of the route from videos – think it is roughly what is shown below.

Ah but some of us had mechanical failure and many punctures a few days before the pootle, so it would have been most unfortunate to have even more on the day.

Chest mounts are new to me, but seem a much better option.

tollah didn’t need a chest mount he rested it on his wok -runs away fast and hides.

From what people said at the time and on this thread we had:

at least four punctures
a snapped bar end
a broken mech hanger
two broken spokes
a broken pedal
a blown damping cartridge

Anything else?

And in fairness, 1 of the punctures, the broken spokes, the broken mech hanger and the broken pedal were all down to one rider. It really, really is time he got a new bike (the fugly Marin tied together with bits of shoelace :wink:)

I recognize some of the route from videos – think it is roughly what is shown below.

that link ain’t working, but h4muf posted a link to the route on his Strava further up the thread. It was Edale – Chapel Gate – Sunken Track – along rushups edge on the closed road – past Rowter Farm – Dirtlow Rake – Pin dale – Hope – Roman Road – Hope Cross – Jaggers Clough – Edale – Cake – pub

Ahem……….That’s what helps me with momentum on the descents BH

Could we have a dads/early techy pootle next? 🙂

Binners has been banned he said. What happened?!

from pootles?

From stw

Fork is off to Mojo as we speak… And the excuse to upgrade to 36′ s deepens! Also will be forking out (get it) on some good flats… Any suggestions folks?

500!

Game of darts anyone?

Could we have a dads/early techy pootle next?

I’d be very interested in this. A 10am set off basically means I’ve wiped out a whole day’s worth of brownie points by the time I get back. A home-for-the-afternoon early start (7am or even earlier is fine) would be right up my street. Not that I’m complaining about the normal pootle arrangements, you understand…

For the record I was running old non-tubeless Nobby Nics tubeless on Crests (if you see what I mean) and I had no punctures. Must’ve sacrificed the right chicken and got the pentagram perfectly aligned when I put them on this time.

that link ain’t working,

Sorry, can’t seem to do images today 🙁

Could we have a dads/early techy pootle next?

sounds good to me 🙂

Mintimperial in one. If a ride finishes c11.30am Im laughing plus it means a smaller group. NO negativity meant and you all know I cant ride for toffee so no snobbery.

I was up at 4am Sat, not because evilhorajunior was but…

I EXPECT him to be awake at that time

Noun 1. dad – an informal term for a fatherdad – an informal term for a father; probably derived from baby talk

Adj. 1. techy – easily irritated or annoyed; “an incorrigibly fractious young man”; “not the least nettlesome of his countrymen”

So a ride for grumpy blokes with kids?
I’m in. 😀

😆

Oh shut up you old wet farts.

I’m normally awake at 5.50am anyway so yeah a 7am start is fine.

I’ll ‘last minute’ plan one soon.

Whinging sods.

Should have kept it in your pants.

😀

Cool

If anyone does suggest pedals for Chrissyj, just remember they need to br gold. I suggested the dmr vault but they’re not in “her” colour.

Oooh gold….

I think the vaults in black might suffice!!

I know some people have a love/hate relationship with Superstar, but i use their nano pedals and they stood up to a few rock strikes on sat plus added bonus of being availble in gold.

7 am start? Even on a weekday I’m still in bed, may alarm goes off at 7. There are certain advantages to being childless, and lie-ins are a large part of that.

I anyone fancies a techy ride round marple, I can do you an evening ride (in good weather, these trails need to be dry)

I managed to slash the sidewall of a bog standard folding Ardent coming down Dirtlow rake? Running tubless.

First ever incident with that tyre in 14 months, replaced today with an exo version.

745 faff for a 8 start. 7 is a bit hardcore.

Any chance of posting the recipe for the apple & date cake!! It was Lovely & I’m thinking about making some this weekend! Thanks 😀

Bunnyhop’s off for a ride with MartynS and Solarpowered, I’ll get her to post it tonight

Excellent, thank you!! 😀
