Thanks for the replies so far, should’ve mentioned that the ‘top’ of the sore actually came off yesterday. Horrible I know, but thought I’d mention it.

have a look on chainreactioncycles.com

njee20 – don’t talk nonsense.

As for the bike in question, make it a HT. Aim to keep in under 25lbs too, and FS at that price will be 28lbs or more.

I’ve used Pauls Cycles before, and must admit you can get yourself a decent bike if they have your size.

As for the Boardmans, well the reviews speak for themselves. (And I speak from experience)You won’t get and lighter for an off the shelf bike either.

Check out Wiggle too, some of the Focus 2009! range have money off.

The little shites should be drowned.

Get something rare like the above 😉

As for the white wall tyres, come on…they look pimp. 😛

Just over £4000 IIRC

£4860

£4500

Original Sauce sponsor mayhem.

Bargain, go for it!

Whats the problem, just wear lyrca.

£700 sounds very good indeed! Go for it.

Lidl is the way forward!

My mate got some for a quid from eBay not that long ago..

Hey Mrs Toast, nice pics. Any chance I could have a copy of the picture of me? NPS 038jpg.

patrick_heronAThotmail.co.uk if poss!

Cheers.

It’s not made of wood is it! Just ride and enjoy the thing.

Most riders will find some time either riding or training on their own, and enjoy the company of some music while riding… 🙄

Weineck Cobra 780cui

hugged the left there I think. 😛

One of the SS bikes on here that actually looks nice. Good job.

Hey Mark, yeah I was the lad with the useful-ish pump! Cheers for showing me round those sections, managed to find a bit more when I ventured off.

Cheers for the good luck, just hoping the weather holds off! 😛

Just got back in from riding what I think was most of the course. Practiced the drop a few times (and moved the upside down branch out of the way, before putting it back :-)). Agree with holding the speed back there, as plenty of speed can be built back up once you hit the bottom.

I noticed a section with two small yellow flags, is this part of the course?

Sounds fun, is it easy to locate the circuit? May go up tommorow.

Ciao.

Carrera Subway, brilliant bike.

Fine, so long as you don’t ride in the mud.

Nah it doesn’t go on the follow the dog route, besides that is too tame!

I’ll be there,. Just need to get my entry off!

It’s in french, and is for a crack in the carbon instead of groove you mentioned..but shows you what can be done: Repairing carbon

And general clear coat repairs

May be of some use..

Ciao

Erm, riding?

Raced there last year, some brilliant riding! IIRC the chap with the bike shop there, designed most of the trails himself.

Castle isn’t too shabby either.. 😀

I’ve got some 660mm and they’ll proberly get cut down soon.

Why not just use an 8ft scaffolding pole? 😉

700mm! I take it you race DH?

Hey Soops, glad you enjoyed watching!

I was number 248 btw.

haha, this thread is full of crap!

Was gonna say, my hard tail was fine on the course. Make sure you aren’t running too higher pressure in the rear tyre.

As for going tubeless, I didn’t get round to sorting it out before the event, plenty of people on tubeless were getting flats too…

Great racing, great course and great weather! What more could we want, and I’m happy as I didn’t get a single puncture 😀

Brilliant. See everyone at the weekend. 8)

Ciao

A P reg 106 in Red. But I will probably be on my bike, as I only live down the road – silver/titanium(colour!) Boardman, with white grips! haha.

Ciao

Stumpy,if it’s easier you could just give me the cash at some point over the weekend?

Cheers for getting it all sorted guys, it shall be good! 😀

SP – ygm.
