yes please graham

Evan, always competitive

been using a hilo for 6 months with no issues, got it cheap from a german online shop whose name i cant remember

“wet fire roads” ha ha ha ! fitted some mud x’s the other day, light grippy and roll along pretty quick

The Chichester Challenge, mud uber slippy chalk and more mud, wisely chose the 30k rather than the 55k !

Take no notice of the kayak snobbery being bandied around, I bought a sot 4 years ago use it on the south coast and occasional river trip. Brilliant fun for exploring and just chilling out enjoying yourself, bit of fishing etc and the kids love it.

was, am but almost a strava convert

was on your side till the gratuitous orange 5 comment, your obviously a nob and deserve abuse from the general public at every opportunity

maybe riding a bit faster (dry tracks everywhere helps) and appreciate 5 is a noisy bike downhill but this really does feel like tyre has come off the rim completely and its stop get off and check tyre bad ! I do not understand as it is still plush at lower speeds and everything is lubed and play free. think lbs could be the answer, maybe mental block on my part, wouldnt be the 1st time 😳

coatesy, mech not very old all good, nothing loose as far as i can see, shock recently serviced, thats what i dont get, there is very little to go wrong and what there is i have checked, wolly – yes

right, sussed it go to activity feed, select a ride then go to bottom of page below altitude graph thing and click on CREATE A SEGMENT !

just getting into strava myself, created a segment last night but cannot remember how i did it 😳

lol

loads of good stuff, but its well hidden 😆

cheers guys, done it, sorted, wish i had done it ages ago, back to maximum lovely plushness !

when i was a kid, “man in a suitcase”, when my kids were kids, “fat tulips garden”.

thankyou njee20

ho ho ho

just took delivery of a x-fusion hilo from action sports, £150 and 500grams.(without the remote) only been out once but very impressed so far.

mine 8)

never used cycle specific gloves, moto x gloves bought cheaply off ebay last for ages. any decent make such as alpinestars, thor, progrip etc will do the job.

anything but that yellow, its rank

still got my clockwork bought new in 90 something, now seeing use as child transporter / pub bike, anyway its matt black with slightly faded orange (of course) decals, still think it looks good but what do i know ?

dont discount the good old transit, had 3 never let me down, good solid vans as opposed to overpriced unreliable “surfer buses”

anyone know if this is repeated at any time ? was somewhat universally challenged !

was up stoughton way tuesday mainly fsa dry with just one boggy bit, seems to be drying out nicely round here, looking forward to getting out in the morning 😀

+ 1 for endomondo, have’nt used my gps(garmin 60cx)for yonks

yep

yep

prob about same sizing as yourself, got a montane (dt entrant) lovely and long (slim fitting), packs up small, doesnt get too hot and its waterproof !

A deer antler (full size fellow type) fell out of a tree just missing my nipper who was resting underneath at the time !

Dont know for sure but i think you would struggle to bend it after all what you are doing is just holding everything together, which is normally done by a puny little qr. The reason everybody isnt using them could be weight and possibly not bling enough !

yep, my sherco 250, yours for a very reasonable £700 !

6'5" recently gone from xl stumpy fsr to 20" orange 5 and loving it 😀

Still got my 93(ish) clockwork owned from new, ridiculously narrow ti x-lites, 2 foot long stem, onza bar ends etc. Now occasional grandchild transport !

airborne carpe diem

All very pleasant spesh if its dry and sunny, good midway stopover is fox goes free @ chalton (just north of chichester) cracking pub and nice rooms and about a mile (offroad slightly downhill) from sdw.

Had a 06 stumpjumper (with rp23) now have new 5 with boost valve shock, difference is unbelievable, much plusher and more controllable. cannot say how much is due to the different setup, linkage (or lack of) wise but far better and its not cos the shock on the stumpy was knackered as it was the same from new.

Havent got a titanium off roader (yet) but I do love my carpe diem (purchased off here so i am allowed to share it with you)

no 😐
