ok, strange ask, does anyone that's coming along have any spare nipples
preferably of the spoke/wheel type, 15 gauge... I appear to have found the source of my wheel wobble!!If not then I'll be calling on the spare wheel offers!
Cheers

Does anyone who's coming carry either matches or a lighter with them?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Next random question: is it hardtail country or full suss territory?
And yes I think I have some matches in the camping box, will confirm after trip to attic.

I'm bringing my full suss but only because there are small block 8s on the Voodoo and I can't be arsed to change them, so either fs or ht will be fine.
If you have candle-lighting equipment that will be great, I don't need to stop at a shop then

Hmmm Racing Ralphs on the H/T - we expecting gloop then?
Posted 2 years ago # -
hp source will bring both nipples and wheel but have lost my spoke key.
QR i(or bolt through if have HOPE kit) and what size rotor...please say 180mm or you can change it at sceneMrs F will bring a lighter but trust me you dont want me to sign.
Anyone else need anything?

we expecting gloop then?
I am hoping not, however it has rained quite a bit this last week and most of last night and this morning - generally the trails are OK but there are sure to be patches of gloop but I don't think they will be long sections.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yes that to then

"fizzer, given that's it's been raining pretty much solidly for the last week I'm expecting a lot of wet!"
last week spent riding full suss in the French/Swiss sunshine:D so maybe it's time for the H/T in the Yorkshire rain:cry:

Junkyard: Cheers, It is a 180mm rotor! woohoo, thanks, I've got a spoke key too, so I think we might have success one way or another. Excellent.
On the cake front, Rocky Road, now chilling in the fridge

oh sh1t cakes runs off to do some now
Posted 2 years ago # -
We have to have one of these STW rides every month, just to work off the cake from the one before!!!
With the amount that everyone is baking, you are going to put Mr Kipling out of business.

I "may" have something to light the candles.

Really fancy coming but a seized caliper sort of putting a dampner on things. Might turn up on the cross bike. Any idea how long you expect to be out for?
BenPosted 2 years ago # -
seized caliper front or rear may as well bring a brake as well.
Avid Juicy any good?
E-mail me if you want me to bring one.
6 + hours due to the social nature of the ride , odd mechanical and obligatory serious injury.Posted 2 years ago # -
Thanks for the offer of the brake but i will pass thanks.
Hope to make it but cant be sure.Posted 2 years ago # -
Sorry we had to bail
I hope there was enough cake to go round without my contribution.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Sorry i couldnt even start the ride, small matter of keys locked in the car!
How was it?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Wet, muddy, some big climbs and a fair mileage. Absolutely loved it to bits a great day out. My first ride on the North Yorks Moors most certainly won't be my last. That kind of terrain is why I ride a mountain bike.
Big thanks to Dave for leading and to everyone for making me so welcome as the newbie of the group.
Just cleaned the bike and I reckon half the NY Moors is lying in my drive, the rest is in the shower basin!
