I've got some for my Charge Plug for the winter, they're not on there now
They do rub a bit on the rim sometimes, could do with being a bit wider for the rims and tyres I have on my Plug

but I like 'em a lot 8)

MrCrudd does spare bits too at the very reasonable price of a stamp! (or two)

OP I would be happy to show you round but! I've next to no free time for the next few weeks them I'm on hol's for 3 months 8)
I doubt your camping in November?

oh and yeah Brokenhurst and the train stations very close

wwaswas there's very little of the bit that I ride that's a Bridleway 😳
but yeah there's some in there, they don't usually put Stiles at the start of the legit bike routes

there's another nice bit that heads of toward ornamental drive half way along that bit too which is worth keeping an eye out for

from the reptile centre you can head out towards Bolderwood area or Emery Down, again some good bits around those areas too
and a few hills round there too 😯 , nothing huge but definitely hills

oh and as your at Hollands wood there's a nice if somewhat cheeky section which starts right there.

Over the Stile opposite the entrance to the camp site is where it starts
It's great if you can follow it all the way, it's not easy, there are loads of little pony trails, streams, bridges and tracks criss crossing through there. use satellite images and just try to keep in the right general direction and you can't go too far wrong

It's a twisty bit of singletrack which goes all the way across to the Reptile centre on the A35 near Bank just outside Lyndhurst, good fun a speed.

I ride in the forest just about every week BBB and have never ridden anything on the scale or anything like any of the welsh/lakes trail centres that I've ridden anyway

Don't get me wrong I love the forest and there's enough twisty through the trees to keep me amused.
I've not had the opportunity to ride the BBB course though
couldn't make it last year and I'm going to be away this year too at that time unfortunately 😥 , it sounded fun, maybe BBB 2012.
I've spoken about it to James, Thom and the Trevis boys and it sounded good but not sure it'll be the same as Afan, Penmachno, Marin, Strathpuffer or big natural trails etc
I'll reserve judgement 'til BBB 2012 though

I also didn't know it was accessible to the public at all and I'm a local ❗
maybe I'll try to get a quick lap in next time I'm near by

not much that's very exciting or very long, nothing like Wales/Lakes/Peaks/Exmoor/Scotland etc
and what there is tbh you'll struggle to find unless you know it

nothing trail centre like at all
plenty of single track but to link up enough to make a decent ride you'll need a local tbh.

I was very disappointed when Neilson closed down in Croatia
Had a great few weeks there a couple of years ago, would gladly go back
great riding and water sports centre

Salsa or Shimano

our DC07's great, not the cheapest no but their service dept' are brilliant
Full refurb' on ours (7-8 years old) when the motor went was about £50 I think
It came back with a new filter, dust bin and cyclone bit, new hose, 1 new tool, new brushes and motor. It was like new.

We'd previously had a Henry, Dyson cleans so much better
it was amazing when we first got the Dyson how much the henry didn't pick up

Mr Wazz loads of SDW info on here inc GPS files I think
http://www.southdownsdouble.net[/url%5D
you don't have to go both ways 😯

platelets and bone marrow here

great summer tyre imo

straight after the build
now very soiled, I love it 8)
and

hmm needs bigger wheels 😉

Just for marsdenman

bikes on a boat 😯 😉

It's great fun, really enjoyed it, last year was my first one,
I reckon it'll be an annual event for me now

There's usually a few teams looking for crews and runners on the 3PYR Forum and SleepMonsters Forum
highly recommended

+1 for Sails 8)

I'll be off Friday on the Three Peaks Yacht Race[/url]
Can't wait, a weeks sailing with plenty or running and a bit of bike ride too
fingers cross for a bit of spare time to ride a bit more in Scotland after too

my Large Niner air9 fits easily into Wiggle's DHB Bag[/url]

you can't zip up wheel bags, but I just put a zip tie through the carry handles to hold 'em together and they do the job fine

Mini Turbo 8 port (maybe even 16v) injected, Turbo Inter cooled T25
(not a humongous old T3)

had a 5 port 8V T3 a few years back
much fun was had 8)
happy to have done without the endless looking after the thing though

With careful stacking you can get 34 in a Luton, I reckon

I helped out at a 24Hr adventure race a year or two back and we got about that number in OK
Depends how prissy people are with their bikes and how much time you've got to get 'em in/out though

Burnbake campsite[/url] is nice, stayed there a few times only a short drive surrounded by woods really pretty spot, with an activity centre close by for stuff to do too (Branscombe I thinks it's called)

yeah Alpine
good sound less stupid flashy lights/gimmicky things
than the likes of Sony, Kenwood etc

yes

best of luck!
I wouldn't hold your breath

🙄 @ organic, a bike 🙂
perhaps 'Where to ride?' would have been a better title, sorry

cheers Barney, the red pretty good is it?
oooh gondolas sound like a good call, as my legs will likely be knackered

nobody? 😥

that one's quite away from Corpach by the looks of it.
anything closer? I'll be on pretty tired legs after the race
is there not plenty round the Ben?

+1 Montain

can't see why not

you'll probably need some sort of double sided chain guide so you don't loose the chain on the front all the time though

something like one of these

I'm sure there are some neater ones than that but can't remember what they're called

they liquefy at different temps, I know that
i.e. one wont come out of the canister as a gas when it get much below 0 degrees which I encountered on a bivy in January this year.
don't know about burning though
a lot of camping gas canisters are a mix
I think they have different regulators don't they though?!?!?
sorry not much help there

I got one in my local store just outside Southampton

I had a quick go at balancing on it in the garage door way last night
I doubt I'll be very good but thought it looked good for a chuckle 😆

MTB access in the New Forest isn't officially great
officially it's all gravel fire road, but there are good bits and pieces about to join up, if you know where to go (or know somebody that does)

plenty of other stuff close enough to keep you busy with the odd South/North Downs, Wales, Exmoor, Quantocks etc trips thrown in

+Salisbury area, Good chance I'll be moving that way next year myself

you need a 'media server'
windows media player can do it but you need to switch it on in the options somewhere on your computer

Managed to end up in a rather classy brothel in Sao Paulo Brazil
after the only guy that spoke any of lingo, pissed, got the translation with the taxi drivers a bit wrong
we were aiming for a strip club 😯

Cost us a few rather pricey beers to get out past the doormen
an experience for sure
did some of the usual drinking, bars, karting etc
5 days I'll never forget 8)

apple store, 10% off if you trade in and old iPod (inc. knackered ones)
I traded in my last classic when the disk failed

32GB + if it's not intended for running then I'd go for a classic
better VFM unless you want all the games, apps, web etc of the touch
deals are hard to come by, apple fix prices pretty well everywhere tbh
unless it's a refurb'

2 chain whips, one going one way one going the other to pull it off of the cassette splines which it's possibly cut into

Not posted in this thread before, but have been reading for a while now

humbling is all I can say

post up your route and planned dates, would love to come along and ride a section with you if I can.

keep fighting Mark, we all know you will

cheers Mister P, sorted

Just got txt from the trusty LBS, new cage £14, here tomorrow and wheels fixed 8)

I didn't explain the shoe bit well, the plastic strap that goes through the ratchets been torn off of the strap that goes over the foot, the ratchet it's self is OK
I Gaffa taped my foot in each day for the weekend
I might try to bodge it back on somehow

nobody?

I've searched all over and can't find 'em

do they not do mech' spares?
