26" fits fine and there lighter

Meall a Bhuachaille from either end is a push up. The trail to ryvoan bothy has some gnarly steps. and is v steep.

The descent from craiggowrie is a hoot and you then get to ride badaguish.

The ridge is more ridable in the direction i suggest.

we did it as a wednesday night ride a wee while ago, it's pretty damp up there

Meall a Bhuachaille in t'other direction capt ryvoan to badaguish the other way would not be as good

Doesn't need to be but it just gives a cleaner finish/ or yes the 100mm pugs fork works, well with a 100mm hub

not mine.

any rear 26" wheel will work fatter the rim the better i ran my tyre on a 30mm easton havoc wheel for about2 months with no real issues ( just couldn't run uber low pressure)

you can pick up a cheap trials rim for £20 and any 135mm spaced single speed screw on hub will work check out CRC bound to get a (old dirt jump hub) bargain

the tyre and fork are fixed in priced

Fork £89
tyre £80
rim £50
chub hub £150

But you could do it cheaper

It does ride really well and not much of a weight penalty

If you want the girth of larry then yes fork upgrade and some other stuff to

Niner flat bar 710mm wide 9 deg sweep. thomson 70mm 0 deg rise stem

About to swap the bars for salsa pro moto flat bars with 17 deg sweep

Salsa enabler fork (basically a 135mm spaced fork)

Surly larry tire

onza 128 hog rim 49mm wide

Chub ss rear hub

SSS I shit you not this set up is the shizel, reminds me of riding back in the day with manitou II's but betterer.

It's like exspension with out having exspension
Sweet

well i cant make the pic work so clicky[/url]

Aye mail me and i'll put some ideas your way.

Druidh

grow up stop picking holes i thought more of you from what i've read.

the chance of average Joe finding all of the trails from map no1 is slim.

(sorry if this does not hold water)

It's not about keeping them secret. it's about being responsible on a trail that was built for a one time event back in 2004 and has gained a reputation of somewhere to ride while your in Aviemore (generally regardless of the trail condition)

It's also about the FC looking for any reason to pop the trail pimple on the ass of the Queens forest.

I like the trail. A lot of local and not so local peoples sweat and blood have gone into it am i such a tool for trying to encourage a bit of common.

Andy

eckinspain no bother as long as you and your group are responsible. If it's a minging pissing day ride else where (just the same as many of the trails in the area)

Font, i think scale is good way of thinking about it

That map that was posted up was only printed up to reduce the number of spectators trampling through the forest and stamping on the caper.

We have been asked by the FC to NOT publicize badaguish.

Regards to the maps sold in Bothy bikes, the scale is different and the shop will advise when the trails are soggy or the caper are horny, they look at it as a method of caring for the trails.

Hell Eckinspain mail me closer to the date and i'll see if i can show you some trails.

Thank you Marty for giving reasons

Geoff who i am and what i do has nothing to do with what i wrote. I love to spread the trail love but i don't do it to anybody with an internet connection.

Andy

please don't do that Geoff, the bloody forestry are looking for any excuse to flatten those trails. and sticking that pic up with the name of the club that looks after the trails is giving them reason.

thanks

bloke lampin carbon forks with hammer

how about that video from niner bikes. hang on

dangerous my bum. that was my bike outside tescorooneys, it's a temporary measure until my bloody replacement onza rim arrives. oh it's on an easton havoc front wheel (30mm) running at 15psi nae wandering here.

Oh and your hub options aren't limited with the enabler any rear hub will do and plenty hubs can be built zero dish.

Then a carefully place bronze hammer blow to the down tube. serious had a mate do it to his nomad work a treat.

chris king do a 5mm base plate/crown race if you have a CK

sweet

i like your kung fu (tubing)

get your lbs to ring you need to get past the frontline staff or import yourself took 10 days to arrive i used americancycle.com the fork is really smart and sus corrected to keep your angles right.

Well i imported 2 from the states $87 each plus $50 shipping and £25 import tax because ison got on my wick when my LBS buddy rang them up they fobbed him off twice ,then denied the fork existing!!

I emithered ison and Salsa to complain and had lovely replys saying that " ison had ordered a batch and would be our side of the pond within a week" that was a month ago.

when did you email?

I rang a few places today and its gonna be ages, wait on tyre and pugsley fork is at least two months.

Did you all use the Surly rim? the Jeff Jones wheel uses a 50mm and Onza make a 50mm so was wondering if that would work.

Thanks for the advice.

Ison have larrys in mine just arrived also the new salsa enabler fork might be worth a look.
I run enabler/chub ss hub onza 128 hog rim 49mm and larry.
It really rocks…. well through the rocks
