Sorry guys,

Been in touch with Specailized UK now and its covered under warranty :wink: they are sending a new one out ASAP to my LBS

Sent them loads of pics and proof of purchase
So I can still go to Ard Moors !

Great customer service

WRONG ! …. Its Chain stay

Shorty time !

Pro Spacker ! Always close my eyes on the way down 8O

This has now happened twice to me, totally smashed the derailleur to bits when the chain jumped off the lower jockey wheel

Going back to 11 speed as its way more bombproof

Likewise .. I’ll see what StartCycles can offer, just can’t decide on spec.

Anyone ordered one yet ?

Did it last year and it was a good event, nice hill climb back up from S1 and again to the finish, S3 I think it wasn’t marked very well and quite a few overshot the course.

Doing it again this year so expecting it to be bigger and better.

I always liked my car, but it was impractical for my needs, going away at weekends with the wife and bike and the dog and setting up in the dark and mostly in the rain !

Recently bought a 63 plate LWB Renault traffic panel van and now converted it to a day van with a separate garage in the rear and I’d now never go back to a car

It’s perfect for going to race events, just rocking up and thats it !.

Now doing more trips away to the lakes, its been remapped which makes it drive nicer and more economical

Converting a van is cheap enough if you do it all yourself and it also makes a nice project :wink:

I run these on the front of my hope tech hoops (25mm) no bother at all

Really well run this year and did the sport this morning, S5 was a total hoon, and stoked finishing 22nd in Vets !
Could have been much quicker IF some folk did move out the way when I shouted RIDER !
Roll on next year

My GX Eagle rear derailleur failed within an hours ride ! not strong and very weak .. Ive now upgraded to the XO and the difference is night and day

That section will be mint this year ! :wink:

It’ll be clarty ! at least I won’t be the only one coming off loads

Gone from putting a DHF WT front to a MM as on the Sunday it’ll be chewed up to bits

Cheers Mike.. I’ve got the budget 12 speed grip shifter on its way for the time being

Nice hill climb to the finish but S5 is a total hoon ! :wink:

DHF 2.5 WT front and Aggressor DD Rear :wink:

Thanks #slackboy that route looks ideal as I’m also going to be staying at waterside campsite …

Thanks again all :wink:

Thanks Gents ! I’m there all weekend so fancy a long trip out on the Saturday … Thanks again :D

Found this on their site, so this will have to do.

This explains it

Been using this for a little while now. and getting the hang of it slowly.. I’ve got Pike RCT3, but when you finish a session is says you must start the adjustments from top to bottom .. But when it comes to HSC theres no adjustment on these forks and what about the Bottom out resistance column ??

Might be a mong but need to know how this works

UberBikes

Thanks Gents for your feedback .. for the sake of 30 quid its worth a try :wink:

Cheers bud :wink:

@Lawman .. Ive got Sram 11 speed cranks on mine at the mo so will that be compatible with the eagle GX groupset then ? … Tweet Cycles only have GPX group sets at the mo and not BB30 ..

Just noticed that Absolute Black do the 12 speed direct mount chain ring so don’t need the newer cranks … happy days

Not been up there for ages now, have to try up get up there before the Naughty Northumbrian … Border Ridge is a nice ride, do like the grassy decent off Clennell St tho.

Uber Race Matrix… Best pads I’ve used for dry weather

On my Enduro

F- 2.3 DHR2
R-2.3 Aggressor DD

I find the aggressor a much better rear tyre, more grip and its predictable

Decent shorts but wear out quickly, had a pair changed under warranty last year (split seams) just sent them back again last week as the waterproofing seams have all fallen off internally .. they don’t last long for what you pay

That time of the year in that area parking is a premium and expensive and very busy with all the tourists coming in.

All the main carparks on the seafront are not overnight parking but I’d try and park on the main road on the left as your heading into Cullercoats, safe enough area and always busy.

Hope this helps

Im also interested is this as I’ll be turning 50 next year, Always wanted to do this some best do it soon.

Kingdom Vendetta :wink:

Never really been one for riding in the gloop but now I really enjoy it,I’m actually now faster in muddy conditions and riding the bike more is giving me confidence to push it, still crash a lot but I’m now finding my limits to were I can push myself and the bike.

This will be the 1st winter were I’ll be constantly out on the bike in poor conditions as its making me a better rider.

Youngest daughter who is nearly 11 calls me Daddy, and my eldest daughter who is 22 … says I hate you ! feelings mutual princess !

Happy Days :D

Its meant to be really good @Paul and very similar to Ard Moors but minus the killer final climb !

You should be fine getting an entry as its a lesser known event .. good luck and hope you get a place and see you there :wink:

Boltby Bash Enduro in May @Paul@RTW Not far from where the Ard Moors takes place
