Thanks folks!

rp16v I’m doing the whole course in 2 five day stints theory and all!

Got rid of my Kona Dawg FS back in March and built up a Bfe which has evolved since and I don’t regret it! I live and ride in the Lakes (Grizedale Bridleways being my local trails) and ride everything faster on the Bfe and than I did on the Dawg!

Cotic Bfe… That’s is all!

That last whistler one has some amazing riding in, I think its’s the same guy as is in the Chromag trail boss film too.

thumbs up andsyredmini, and agree jontykint!

Now’t wrong with a full suss edit, its just the hardtail one’s are fewer and far between! I bought a bfe in April and its needs no justification, but we all need a little inspiration now and again!

I’ve got a Bfe, i bought it earlier in the year, and initially ran 130 revs on it, I’ve now gone bigger and stiffer up front with a set of 150 fox 34’s. I’m loving it to be fair its a great rag around bike which I use for everything from natural xc rides to enduro’s, I’m faster on it than my old full suss too!

[list][/list][*][/*][*][/*]Get a Bfe cos it comes in Purple!

I’ve had mine since April and I love it, So much fun to be had on a hardtail!

All of the TNF trail, The Black and the bridleways open that side of the Forest. I’m not sure if they started any timber extraction on the otherside of the road yet but that will be happeing at somepoint I believe.

Cheers the pain seems to be pretty much localised to my lower back as opposed to buttocks and thigh, it just hurts to bend twist and lift; and there was a definite pulling sensation when it happened so not too concerned about it being cyatica (In the sort term any how. I’ve been icing it we’ll see what the morning brings!

Coniston is a great central point, Grizedale, Hodge Close, Blawith Common and so many other great riding spots near by! If you have the VP book you’ll find gold! the Tom Hutton book is pretty good too!

Ichi what courier delivered it?

UK deliveries do I’m led to believe!

Nice!

A Bfe in black grape; I’ve lusted after for sometime now!

I have been using a blackspire for a few weeks and its been great!

I can’t find any weights for the shimano BB’s anywhere what does it weigh?

It maybe too late but Go ape were recruiting for Grizedale and Whinlatter both with a variety of hours, we used to have a retired bobby working at Grizedale to fund his cigars and ski holidays!

Thanks I’ve see various prices for a service but want to know what the possible causes of play could be and how much extra they’d be to fix?

Cheers for your advice, I’ll gather the bits and bobs and give it a go!

Are all the BG saddles ladies and whats the sizing? Any other thumbs up for the Ladle?

Cheers folks. On Chain reaction cycles it has the howitzer bb’s reasonably priced and as well as the 67/73mm measurement it also has options for chainline; 51 or 56mm. What does this mean or relate to?
