Ha, was thinking just the same Doug. Surprised they didn’t bin him years ago.

Some of you need to work in a kitchen/restaurant…

I’ll stop the world and melt with you song by whoever..

CRC for SLX chain and cassette. 13 and 33 quid respectively.

Just sold all my guitars. Hoping to pick up a Yamaha SA soon 🙂

Looks good, hoping for lot’s of live footage.

Chinley churn only just dried out in the summer! Macc loop is great atm – wet but hardly muddy.

Speed is your friend, going too slow Aaron!

washing powder

What about some vaults with blue pins : )

Facing similar tracks atm. I’ve been told let the track ride you not the other way round : /

Mint, but get rid of the decals on the rims : )

Don’t see many Yeti’s around either whereas every man and his dog has got a bronson now

+1 for sugar and crap. Dropped a stone in 3 weeks.

Just ride more & more new places.

NBT – NWMTB usually have all sorts of bearings in or http://www.emmett-enterprises.com/ behind the big tesco

I’m in a similar dilemma but every time i take the covert out i’m laughing but it is a big bike if you know what i mean.

Know a few folk who have got SB66’s and they’ve all said it’s the best bike they’ve ever owned!

Yep I ride the peaks and 150mm means I ride them with more confidence.

Banks if I remember right you ride a covert? Does the same statement apply?

Yep, never really needed tbh and if i was given a fresh slate i’d be building something around 130/140 mm.

Made the mistake of demo’ing a few other/smaller travel bikes and i reckon (all in my imo of course) i got far more out of the bike/riding along as it was lighter and less point and squirt.

you ride the peaks not the alps..

Few issues with bearings – 2012 frames perhaps?

Another Macc Loop – riding well atm so feel pretty good. Cumberland Brook ate my mech thou 🙁

Liking the look of the On One one. For the price can’t go wrong or anything by Dare2b.

Used to 2/3 times a week. Aim to be in Bradford for 7 and you’ll be reet. I had an hour to myself at work to have a crap/nap/read the paper and have breakfast before anyone else turned up : )

Fiat multiple froggy thingy?

Wouldn’t worry, should a few 1000 miles left before a service. Popping the freehub off and giving it a little clean is worth doing often imo

When its quiet start worrying. I run mine with just a little lube in there, use to pack it with grease but it just attracted shite

Drop transition bikes an email. Usually very quick to reply.

It was night shifts which also helped tbh. Never again, i’ve got the body of an Ethiopian child.

I’ve lost a 1 stone in just under a month – stopped eating any biscuits, cakes, bread, pasta etc

+1 for snowtown, grim!

Rob, I’ve got about 7000 miles on mine, all single ring & its me only bike & we ride the same places. Do you pack the hub with loads of grease?

I’ve had a few conti tyres buckle or with shite sidewalls. All been warrantied with no issues 🙂

A slightly bigger baron would be the best!

+1 for everything snuff said, brilliant place!

Hired big ass quad bikes over 3 days and spent ages ragging it around the forests 🙂

Also – the banality of evil & a book called ‘those were the days, the history of the holocaust. As told by the perps & bystanders’.

‘Where’s my £10?’
‘In my **** off pocket!’ : )

Make sure you sign up to the update service once you have it.

Went from a Remedy to Covert moving most of the bits over.

Remedy is more stable at speed, sucked everything up and felt like it had endless travel. Great bike but demo’d a covert which is an awesome bike in a different way, makes the boring trails feel fun again, kinda let’s you know what’s going on etc etc – bought a frame the next day : )

It’s a bike which eggs you on is the only way i can some it up..

Farmer Johns’s

oakcakes, yogurt, malt loaf and eggs.

Snow town. Brutal film.

One i’ll never watch again for sure!
