Fernie Enduro

Now thats what I’m looking for :D

Cheers rob for the steer

Cheers Rob I have a look now :D

Hi bud, Looking at a possible move out to Calgary and just wanted to know wheres the trails are around Calgary/Banff and what are they like ?

I was posted out there in the 90’s and been to Calgary quite a few times and a lot and around Banff and Jasper but don’t know anything about the mtb trails around there, thats why I am asking if anyone had been around there.

Sorted… found previous threads about this

Torq gels and the bars … rhubarb and custard :wink: only for racing tho

Great video …. tempted now for next years :D

Well done to all who did it

Fair point mate, I was aware there was no need to remove it :D

Yes I am aware’ but the self extracting cap has been loose and not sitting right on the crank, so I need to remove it and have a look.

I’ve managed to remove the crank already to service the bearing but the self extracting cap isn’t sitting correctly at the moment

Thanks qwerty I’ll look to see which one is compatible

Unfortunately not got any circlip pliers but rather have the right tool for this bolt, as its bugging me now

Jesus ! thread was looking useful … and I considered wearing my googles but now after this ! ….. :?

Yup definitely ugly as’ but does the job

Thanks on the goggles front …. btw my daughter is GAY!! …. grow up !

I think its a good idea tbh, and doesn’t look stupid … can anyone recommend any decent googles ?

Got mudhuggers F&R on my Spesh Enduro 29er and they fit and work brilliantly … plenty of clearance and no hassle

I’ve sent mine back twice as they have been playing up and twice they have given me a new one so just send it back :D

Nice video mate and conditions :D

Some cracking pics there :D

@coastkid Yes mate also very sad news about Brummie stokes RIP

If you loved his music and your of that age to remember him for the early days then its sad times and if you don’t turn it friccin over to another channel !!!

Volvo XC60 … cheap to run and quick

Plenty of time between now and ardrock to get out and go training …. its manky as hell here in northumberland atm so no rush

Regularly just brush mine down but when mine get really manky I just put them in on a 30′ wash just making sure all the straps and zips are done up and never had any probs

I do rate the 1X11 SRAM setup as I’ve been using it now for about 13 months but now on my 2nd Cassette/Chain ring(Absolute Black) and chain… its good but costly

+1 Strava Challenges .. got 6 this month, for bike and running’ never used them before and its certainly gives me the boost to get out … roll on December

I’m nearly 48 now and I’m probably fitter now than when I left the forces 11 years, since I took up mountain biking years ago its given me the drive to stay and keep fit and I’m running again now which I hated doing as it was one of the mundane things you had to do.

I packed in smoking 2 years ago and I was on about a 100 a day !!! seriously … but changing my lifestyle I enjoy getting fit now.

But when I do get an injury now the recovery period is long but age is a bitch :|

I’ve gone back to running again, 50km a week will keep stop me getting fatter with chrimbo and over the winter period, but will be still using the bike now and again but I won’t be in that much of a rush to get back on it now I’m running again.

Got Hope Tech Enduro 29er rims and they have taken a right battering and still running true 12 months on.

Found them easy to set up for tubeless and goes up straight away but I am using the airshot like.

Very happy with them.

Cheers bob, looks bonkers so I’m in :wink:

Bingo ! cheers bud :-)

I’m hoping more info soon before I commit to it

Not sure tbh but I should imagine its just race 1 run with qualifiers … Im up for that like

Went to Stalybridge a few weeks ago for the 1st time and some cracking decents around there :-) tried to go to Alpine but the weather was horrendous … will be going back there soon as its brilliant riding around there

You lucky lot living around there ! :wink:

They can be a life saver when out on the hills either solo riding or part of a group when things go wrong.

Got mine from Alpkit and packs down nicely and at a good price.

Another Enduro 29er here, great bike and its my do it all bike .. few teething problems initially when I bought it from new but now I love it more since I’ve upgraded the standard parts …

Fast and great fun :D

With a tinge of white :|

Nikwax Tech wash so I can finally clean/reproof my sweet protection mud rides :wink:

I have 1 bike and 1 bike only … I ride the spesh enduro all weathers any weathers .. all these folk talking bout how many bikes they have and what they use and when :| …. really !? a bike is there to be ridden
