I’ve built up a BFemax and killed a wheel already- nukeproof horizon. I’ve gone for a DTswiss EX511 and 350 hub from PTcyles with the upgraded ratchet all in £588

That seems cheap!

Caught me out the other day too, thankfully I only ended up clipping it and wobbled a bit.

I did not expect this kind of reaction!

All very interesting view points

I mean by having things you cannot afford.

im a married father of two young children, who is lucky to have parents that have been very generous to me. We’ve been able to do things we deffo couldnt afford, such as buying a new car. Had we not had this we’d be in serious debt.

We just see a lot of folk whom seem to have all the latest and greatest everywhere we go.

I am also the current sole earner and my salary is just under 25k per annum.

Apologies for the briefness, I don’t particularly enjoy typing on the phone.

Wandering around places like Meadowhall it’s absolutely crazy what people appear to be spending…oh and what have you bought posts on here…

It was inevitable…

i have one mtb..not 3 and carbon it ain’t

my car is a 10 year old Ibiza

i have an iPhone but it’s a 6s that’s on its arse

i have an iPad….it’s about 6 years old.

I live in a 3 bedroom end terrace with an apparent leaky roof.

That’s refreshing to hear, the only debt we technically have is the mortgage… I have a lot of wants but try to hold back.

apple watch is currently a want…so far I’m holding back. It’s probably another piece of tech that nobody actually needs

Cheers all, I’ve enjoyed reading the comments and not nipping out.

I’m out tomorrow from 18:30…no tea..back to the pub by 20:30..couple of pints in the pub an a pork sarnie. Then climb into bed (i’ll skip the shower….when its dry out)

I nearly always skip pudding!

Sorry….must have got lost, thought this was a mountain biking forum.

Some things to consider, I have got an ayup for my lid but the battery has failed hence having to go down the cable in the rucksack route for the minute.

The bar mount always annoyed me on lights especially when they come with far too much cable.

Good call, found them on CRC any idea how the X guide works, can 3 cables go parralel. I can’t tell from pic.

Cheers for that lot, i do most of my riding round blacka, houndkirk way. Just fancied a quick local blast out the door.

Ive done a bit round rivelin, usually go down coppice lane onto tofts head to manchester road and then back dow the bridleway from Den Bank. That side is ace its the other side to strines i struggle with.

Have been down riggs road to moscar and over to derwent as well but that not such a quick blast. Spoon lane off riggs had potential but all footpaths.

Ill mail you, interest with these 7.30 rides…anything on facebook?

Basically, where people would ride from stannington. Somewhat cheeky as there dont appear to be a ton of bridleways.

Ive done rivelin, wymingbrook, loxley common but struggling with finding new stuff.

No

reverb post has a black collar. If I’m not mistaken the old ones were silver?

The remote has a silver adjuster. And said compatible with all reverbs.

Reverb was bought in december 2013.. Mmx left

New Remote is mmx right.

Loved it, gave me a taste of how difficult these things can be. Fitness wise I felt happy with my performance in sunday. However my stages were shocking. Worst being built bottling one of the long steep chutes for a good 5 minutes before going down. Left me 779th overall…..at least it’s easy to improve on.

my first event too, hope its just like a long ride in the peaks. have been doing a few 25-35 milers recently to try and get some fitness. No full face for me, i dont fancy overheating in that thing.

Pack will consist of:-
3l bladder plus bottle on cage
Multi tool with chain tool
Quick links
Two tubes
Gear cable
Spare hanger
Food

Job done….i hope

Drilled the slab and broke it up, and dug down fairly deep. Now i know a d lock was suggested but would that be better than an anchor that screws in?

Removing the slabs could be a bit difficult as the shed floor slats/rafters are sat on it. Can’t really pull it out.

Ask it..

Hose them down and dry with the coline shoe dryer.

Thanks for the tips. Turned out to be a rushed bleed the first time. Took my time and cycled the oil loads to make sure and bingo! It works!

Wound in to full slow. Followed instructions word for word. Gonna try it again.

Cutgate, langsett this morning

Thanks for the comments. Really well appreciated and not expected. I will get more done. Not tonight though just been on a very muddy ride and am pooped!

Who said t shirts?? Will see I’ll get a few more under my belt first…practice makes perfect…that doesn’t apply to riding bikes.

A tip for the stylus, wear a glove cut off all fingers bar thumb and little. Stops your hand making a mark on the tablet by accident.

Autodesk sketchbook with a Wacom bamboo solo stylus for about £15

I have no goal….other than not getting dragged into the wife’s tv choices. Cheers for sorting the link.

I’ve added another one to my deviant art page. Had to pretty much rip off some photo reference as couldn’t figure it out in my head.

I’d post a link but don’t know how to grab the full link on my iphone

I think i need to figure out how to work my lines more, I was always a doodler that never really finished anything off. Usually in fear of screwing something up. Luckily doing this on the ipad means i can hopefully develop some more.

Wouldn’t that be ripping off Jo burt?

Arggggghgg! This would be easier from a computer!!! And not my phone with my club fingers

I’ve only got one more…someone’s gonna have to tell me why my link didn’t work though

Cheers for that….was struggling with the link on my iphone

Opposite the sex shop!!! Few ways in one being Boston castle
