ta mate....... 8)
Also, Machynlleth, which isn't too far up the road and has some great riding! Nant is lovely, really swoopy goodness!
alrite ton lov? 😉
hello shag.............when you off to t'halps
Nant y Arian has more of a 'wilderness' feel to it, in parts it's covering bridle ways rather than man made trails so it's quite different to other trail centres.
My****love is a more typical Welsh trail centre but the Climax trail has an amazing final decent and rumour has it that there are some 'aternative' ways down just after the wooden berm.
2 week ton, can't wait! gotta get my knee sorted thou first, (braced) oh yeh dougy hurt himself lastnight 🙄
geetee1972: rumour has it that there are some 'aternative' ways down just after the wooden berm.
Really? Really, really? Can anyone substantiate these rumours?
I know there's a fun steep track at the end, but have been blind to anything else.
Guess I could always stop and look around next time I'm there...
P.S.
Nanty is top for a bit of XC
def. get to mach also!
Really? Really, really? Can anyone substantiate these rumours?
Yes - I was talking to someone the other night who was taken down it and was raving about how good (and steep) it was. He said it was literally just after the wooden berm but I couldn't tell you any more than that.
It's not legit mind. Locals stuff.
Interesting - I'll take a look around.
It's amazing what you can find if you do a bit of searching; this is very well hidden in another part of the Dyfi Forest:

EDIT
Bollox! How do photos work on here then eh? I followed the distructions & everything!
Never mind - it is good, but you'll just have to live without it 🙂
It appears it doesn't like Flickr. Looks fun though.
Photos are easy once you know how but it's amazing how many people have problems at first.
First you need to have the picture hosted somewhere. If it's a picture you've taken then something like Flickr is the best option.
Then once the picture is loaded up (or if it's an image that already sits on another website), just right click on your mouse and select 'Copy Image Location'.
All you need to do is paste that link into the text bar that is generated when you click on the 'IMG' button on the dialogue box when you're posting to the forum.
Hope that helps for future reference.
flickr works for me
this is some of nanty (from a while ago, lovely trails

Hmmm... No help whatsoever Gee man - (almost) exactly what I did. Copied & pasted the URL and no dice.
Any chance the size of the image is to blame?
don't use the url, use the .jpg address
Cheers RD, you're a genius!

Time to stop sitting around in my pants and go for a ride!
it dont work! help me get my pics on! 😥
The way I did it was to select Grab the HTML from the Share This drop down box and copy from the 2nd http to .jpg, then pasted this into the IMG dialogue box.
Hope that helps.
love nant yr arian - apart from the legburner climb 😳
Coed y Brenin is just up beyond Dolgelleu - when I was in Aber there busses with bike racks on the back that went right past it.
I think a lot of people say Coed Y Brenin is a bit tame though
Leg Burner is alright really. If you've got a couple of people at a similar pace, it's an opportunity to have a bit of a gas/competition. I find it's a useful measure of my fitness at any given time.
Some of the quick boys are up there in 12 minutes now, and round the Conti in less than 1 hour 45 mins...
i give up, did exactly what you said rob, grabbed the html box from my flickr pic and copyed it, did'nt give me the option to copy to the second htp, pasted to the img on this bar, and no pic!! how do you do it from pics in your library? someone help please!! 🙁
Have you tried switching it off and on again! 🙂

you needed to pu this bit
into the IMG box
tiger, i dont think i know what im doing with it! 😕 but cheers anyway, i'll keep trying, it also does'nt give me the option of copying image location as geetee mentioned above, i'll get there eventually, cheers.
i click on copy, then go to the click on the img box but does'nt highlight paste, but if i click on copy shortcut then click on img it gives me the option to click on paste so i have but no pics!! 😕
Seems like Flickr has some FlashPlayer viewer thingy going on that prevents you from right clicking. I clicked on 'view all sizes' and was able to get the .jpg address from right clicking.

What kind of Orange is this; an Alpine?
[img] 
[/img]
ok cheers geetee, i'll keep trying, no not an alpine, a five with totems on, bit of an experiment, but seriously rides well! thought it was'nt going to but was very surprised! 🙂
[img]http://[/img]
doh!
yeh doh! and still aint doing it! does'nt give me the option to paste so i'll just leave it, cheers anyway.
Dont give up! Try this.
Open your flickr photostream
Select a picture so that you get a larger view of that picture
Then click on the picture again - when I do this from your Flickr account it goes into a slightly different view mode, like a slide show. In the top right corner, you should see a 'View all Sizes' option, click this.
Now the picture on screen should allow you to right click and give you a drop down menu (assuming you're using windows).
Select 'Copy Image Location'
Now go to singletrack world and in the post section, click IMG
With the cursor blinking in the pop-up window, hit ctrl-v, this is the paste keyboard shortcut.
That should then paste the picture location and allow you to post photographs.
Re: The Orange 5 - I've got a similar "experiment" going on with an 06 Enduro with CCDB & Domains. Domains limited to 160mm; are your totems reduced travel too?
I'd like to give it a bash with totems so the adjustability of the front is closer to the back (and they look ****in hardcore 🙂 ), but fear sticking longer than warranteed forks on.
If they are limited:
1 How?
2 Cost to do it?
3 Are you just braver than me?
P.S.
Am delighted to know someone's even more of a tard than I am at using this forum 
1 How?
2 Cost to do it?
3 Are you just braver than me?
How is easy - you send the Totem fork to TF Tuned and they then custom cut the internal damping rod to make it a 160mm fork rather than a 180mm fork.
Cost is about £120 I believe and is irreversable.
Looks like he is a brave chap as those Totems look to be 180mm, but I could be wrong.
yeh im a retard 😆 cheers rob, i'll keep trying tho, can't understand it as the tried doing what geetee just said and even found the copy location clicked it, put in the img box , all the link came up in the box, thought this is it! then when i pressed post nothing came up! what! nevermind, the orange is actually a friends bike but the totems are 180's, with the ccdb aswell make it well hardcore! 😀
Shaggy you have my sympathies - it's ****ing frustrating when you can't get it to work.
No idea what's going on for you. Are you overwriting/deleting the initial http:// that appears? If not that might be causing the problems.
£120! Good Lord.
Might just stick with what I've got as I've invested/squandered enough on it already I reckon and I'm unlikely to find a set of Totems anywhere near as low as the price I paid for the Domains.
I sold my nearly new set for £300 last month Rob. Maybe you could find a set on eBay?
TBH the Fox 36s are as good and more versatile, being consdierably lighter. I'd only recommend the conversion if you didn't already have a 160mm fork but had a set of Totems.
Already got 36 talas forks for AM types rides - got the domains for uplift days.
Am considering keeping them on for everything mind and just struggling on climbs 🙂
geetee, did i buy them forks from you, not the pair thats on the five, i bought a pair about 3week ago on ebay for £300, 2009 coil pair mint condition, steerer tube was a bit small so i faced the headtube down a bit, havent ridden them yet cos i'v naft my knee ligement, but should be taken them to alps in 2 week! 8)
How funny if you did - winning bidder was Catrin5675. Is that you?
oh no it wer'nt me then, i bought some black 2009 coil totems, immaculate! can't believe how cheap you can buy these now on ebay considering they cost nearly a grand.
they are cheap cos they are shyte........................get yourself a rigid 29r..........u soft shyte........ 8)
get yer sen to thalps wi us ton then,.... on yer rigid 29r.... show them totem boys how hardcore you are! 😆
shag, you and dhd will be laid up crumped by the 2nd day........... 😉
Hey Ton, stop hijacking our thread 😉
