    6:00 I’m sure he pulls a bar tweak! He is awesome, riding that on a rigid bike. Immense. Need to get my boys out!

    Had one the size of a two pound coin. Ended up in hospital the day after my first child was born. Quite convenient as could just get wheeled round to see him instead of paying over priced parking charges. But was in agony. Ended up having a stent fitted whilst I had sonic therapy I think that’s what it was called to break the stone up so I could pass the bits.

    Word of advise if you have a stent you feel crap all the time it’s in, however you get a sludge build up, when I had the stent removed I felt great, decided to go out and get needed up ended back in hospital with blocked up tubes!

    Lwouldnt dare ask the locals for a gpx,go on the local forum as I live right by tunnel hill, and I have been chastised for asking before which is fair enough.

    But will the courses be available on the Saturday say? Only asking as I’ve signed up to the 4 hour and don’t really want to ride a lap at 08:00 and them race at 10:30 would rather get an idea before.

    Green throne I’m talking about is the one that starts near where the bag piper can sometimes be found? It’s the opposite side of the fire road where all the old north shore used to be ( although a bit is still there).

    All paid up for all three.

    First event ever. Pants will the courses be available prior to the event to get an idea?

    I saw that up tunnel hill the other day, especially in the gully that runs near the road, all the pine cones had been blown out.

    Did you go for small? Or the pressure drive medium?

    Turns out coaster was right. My pads are overlapping the main rotor surface and slightly catching on the arms. So without buying new discs how do I rectify this? Cheers

    No. I won’t srivel up and die but I may suffer from a horrendous dehydration headache.

    Think I may give it a go, and stick my old saddle pack on for the tools e.t.c

    I probably take far too much with me just because I can.

    I really want some. I used to eat the thick skin round the edge before burning my eyes out!

    Cheers north, will get on that. All bedded in so shouldn’t be an issue there.

    It’s happened from day one, thought it might be a bedding in issue. But it’s not. They are new rotors! They came on the bike!

    I have Rx brakes, don’t have the issue around bleeding them but do find I get brake ‘judder’ under heavy braking. It’s almost like abs. Would that be the pads being awful?

    Gonna take it back to the shop! They can fix it!

    Right tried again, trying to pull it out, will not budge. Don’t want to scratch the actual rebound knob too much in case I go into the shop and they go ooh not touching that you broke it!

    ashleydwsmith

    Just wanted to adjust the rebound but it is stuck fast! Can move with pliers but not by hand!

    ashleydwsmith

    So just to confirm so I don’t **** my forks, I have negative air one side and red rebound the other, and it should just pull out?

    Did you just pull it out?

    Been out, was meant to be a group of us, they all cancelled so thought I’d go on my own..

    First semi night ride on my own, it’s amazing how different it is riding in the dark on your own. Still enjoyed it though, and replacing drivetrain to full x9 tomorrow hurrah!

    OP hope the recovery continues to go rapidly 😀

    Got the same problem except I know my diet isn’t great. Problem I have is I’m trying to ‘decrease’ my intake but after I eat my lunch for example I get a weird feeling in my legs and arms, like a weak feeling!

    My lbs is great, although can take a whole to get stuff in sometimes.

    The only thing I think they need is a sofa and a coffee machine. I like to go and talk to them sometimes and have nowhere to sit.

    But they are forever helping me out and do bits straight away for me even above other repairs in the shop!

    Trout how much do these spider eyes cost? Saw the thread on mtbr and they look good!

    Spider eyes?

    Not lights by any chance?

    Hmm like the idea of a backup light. May have to speak to smudge, although there is a new light on the way. I know I can get pretty much the same light for half the price off of the bay but just don’t trust it when they are coming from china.
