    This is my first single speed event!

    Will 180mm f&r travel be OK for the SSEC course and the guided rides?

    I'm concerned as I have heard that there will be some up and some down on the course and I don't want to be under biked!

    If there are up bits as well it'll be best to take something with gears I'd have thought?

    are you asking whether a ss bullit is overkill? certainly not, im pretty sure a full sus big bike came third at the ss worlds last year-the rider is insignificant.

    i use a mix of potato, bread and garden gnomes to carbo load, cheese is a bit fatty for a real race diet

    Would a 36 on the rear be fast enough?
    How much cheese do we need to eat?
    Does that tyre make my bum look fat?

    The answers will be there on the day 🙂

    How will one identify the Yorkshire Crew, other than going threw the signing on sheet in a stalker type fashion?

    Will the trees be high enough for Monster Ts?

    Good point. You might get your beard caught up in a branch with a higher front end.

    There's a race? oh have we forgotten to do something?

    K I think a 180mm should be perfect, in fact you're bordering on SSStu's attentionwhoreismness there ;p

    I'll introduce you to the Pinkattentionwhores at some point
