‘Bike discount-de’ are £36 for rear £34 for fronts but you’ll need to add just under £5 for delivery

Had almost the same thing happen to my 2012 cube AMS 130 pro (chainstay cracked), took bike to dealer I had bought the bike from new and they said Cube would replace the frame complete, BUT it would take 3-4 months for the frame to come through so in the meantime they supplied my a hardtail frame and swapped bits over from the full suss to keep me riding.
When the full suss frame came through from Cube they swapped everything over and told me I could keep the hardtail frame FOC, top result in my book , but I’m not sure how much was down to my local dealer and how much was Cube.

Great film,well worth a watch.

Yep,,,,,,,,,Antur Stiniog 8)

Just had a look, go to settings/privacy on the website and near the top there’s the option to turn “Enhanced Privacy Mode” on or off

if you turn it on:

Your name will be anonymized to all logged out athletes.
Only Strava athletes that you approve can follow you.
Only Strava athletes that you approve can see your photos.
Only approved followers can see and download your activities on your Strava Profile.

that what you needed?

They don’t make this shit obvious enough IMO..

sorry to say this doesn’t really work I have this enabled but if someone goes to a leaderboard for a segment that you are listed on and clicks on the time for that segment you posted it will jump to your complete ride page from where they can give you Kudos.

I’ve had this happen to me ,and after a bit of trial and error I found that there are several ‘Back doors’within Strava that enable non followers to see your rides and add Kudos etc mainly via segment leader boards.

If you thought Penmachno was grim and want to avoid similar I’d give the Marin a miss.
Personally they are my two top areas to ride.

Yep, as with all the non uk based suppliers good fast service at a reasonable price.Had various components off them with no issues.

Only ever been to the south where there are loads of quality hire places not heard of any good ones in the north (Turkish side) sorry :(

How the f*** does their website work? I’ve logged on, made my choice of item but there’s no apparent way of adding it to the basket.

Select item and ‘Add to Cart’ seems ok to me.

Bought some SLX’s and as above never looked back they are awesome value for money at a pair for around £100

Yup, ordered some pads and bits last Thursday and arrived Saturday. 8)

paraffin:- place chain in jam jar of paraffin shake leave for a while remove chain wipe ,re oil and refit.

It is good but fairly short, I wouldn’t travel a long distance for it unless you are going to travel to Hopton as well and make a day of it.

Take chain off, put it in a jam jar of paraffin shake and leave, then remove chain wipe with cloth and re-oil ,,,,job done.

Both those routes go up this permissive track

http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=417330&Y=386120&A=Y&Z=120

There’s been a lot of logging on the eastern side of that hill coveing both of the approach tracks. They were both closed to through traffic for some while and were apparently “destroyed” due to the massive machinery moving up and down them. I’m not sure if they’re open again, or if they’re in any fit state to ride

Rode up this trail on Monday and its now fine.

Bought one of the older design of these about 3 years ago and despite almost daily use its still going strong.

Have both a FS and 29er HT and since autumn I’ve been riding the HT more and more and now hardly touch the FS.
I’ve ridden all types of natural stuff (Peaks,North Wales,Yorks Dales) trail centres the lot and can’t realy see me going back to the FS

Had one for over 12 months now and love it.
Started off as a winter hack but I tend to use it for all my riding at the moment.

I’ve had a similar experience, my cube ams has a crack in the chainstay so went into my LBS for frame replacement only to be told frame would not be available for 8 weeks,,,,,,,so cube gave me a Hardtail frame and LBS swapped all bits they could over to keep me going and once the AMS frame turned up (due next week) I could keep the hardtail frame.
Seems the LBS has a lot to do with it not cube.
Just to add I’ve had several Cube’s and had a couple of niggles with frames etc and never had an issue with frame swap etc through my LBS.

Rode that area at the weekend and it has been very badly churned up by logging, just about rideable but very muddy.
Worth noting that the route over the top of the hill from the arrow you have marked on the map directly to the roman road is a FP not a BW

Have you tried these,they’ve always been ok for me with hard to source parts and despite being in Israel delivery takes 3-4 days to UK.

My recommendation.

Oh and because its taken pre tax you also save on NI contributions on the amount paid.

There are loads of different schemes but here is a calculator to explain the savings.

http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/calculator

You are missing the fact that the 12 monthly payments are taken pre tax so you save whatever your current tax rate is.
At the end of the 12 months the best option IMO is to extend the agreement for another 3 years for a nominal one off sum (mine was £30 on a £1K bike) and pay nothing for the next 3 years and then you own the bike at the end.
As I pay a high rate of tax I saved around 35% on the price of the bike when all added up.
Some will argue you could probably negotiate that sort of deal on last years model bike at your LBS, but for me it was a 12 month interest free loan that saved 35% on the price of the bike,bit of a no brainer really.

Never had an issue with my Edge 200 and strava and the Garmin sample rate is one per second (which is the same across the 200 & 500) so you would have to be travelling pretty fast for errors to creep in there.

The whole of the B line was shut , as well as the woodwork section all the rest of the jump trails are damaged/blocked.
Had a bit of a sneaky reccee a week or so back during an unofficial night ride and it was all impassable.

No chance I would say,it was smashed to bits in the storms and they are having to make an insurance claim to replace all the woodwork and trails.
Still looked a right mess last week.

Used it for years as a motorcyclist and now us it all the time for MTB works a treat.

Ranger at CYB told me it’d be about 3 month until all the blowdown has been removed as it’s all valuable timber so they can’t just saw gaps to allow the trails through.

Just seen a piece on facebook from Andy (MTB Ranger) says best estimate is now 3-4 weeks so here’s hoping.

I’m 6ft 7ins and never had an issue with 175mm,,, to be honest never really considered changing to longer.

it has a bug in it that means if the route points are too far apart or whatever, it doesn’t appear at all, under any circumstances! Instead it just tells you’re off course when you inevitably stray away from your planned route. It tells you exactly how far you have strayed off course, but not how to get back there.

I used to have this problem until I was advised to convert all routes from gpx format etc to tcx format before loading to the edge and its been fine since always shows a route rather than points.

does any one know of any where relatively cheap for the sintered shimano NON finned ones?

I use Disco Brakes or Uberbike (no fins Sintered) on my SLX M675 and had no problems at all

Was there last night for a night ride and all open apart from:
blue trails closed
B line closed (and looks like it will be for a while)
Small section of red (where power lines snagged)

no snow or ice and trails were in good fast condition last night.

the 200 looks ideal and very simple (good for me!!) the right price as well.

I like the idea of it not being cluttered with the detail of normal gps maps.

It would be pretty obvious if on a trail where I’ve gone wrong?

So with the 200 I could download a route in a gpx format to the computer then upload to the 200. I think most routes tell you where to start with a few instructions etc.

might give one a try. Cheers.

yes, I just download a route from the net (GPX) then convert it to TCX format via website such as gpsies etc(tcx format seems to work better) put the file into the edge 200 as per the instructions and away you go.

I’d always recommend having a paper map with you what ever method of nav your using but I can honestly say my 200 has never let me down in Scotland ,Peak District or North wales.

As you say in the majority of case you are on a visible track and its obvious when a turn comes up,I’ve had a few wrong turns mainly on fast downhills but the edge soon beeps to let you know you’re off course.

As far as starting points if you want to start a route from another point the edge notifies you when you are approaching a course you have pre-loaded and you just follow it from there the only bit that gets thrown out is the comparison with the original route (i.e. how far ahead or behind you are from the person who made the original course) and all the stats are recorded anyway even if you run off course or decide to add some extra mileage onto a route.
Even if you are following a route and the way becomes blocked (as happened to me last weekend with fallen trees)the edge keeps telling you which direction you need to get back to the trail so all is good.

+1 for the edge 200.

I use it all the time for exploring new routes, just download a course and with a map in my backpack as backup off I go.
If you wander off course by more than a few meters it chirps into life and gives you a direction to follow to get back on route.

Same issue on my cube first time i replaced the cables.
I found dental floss in at one end and hover on the other end and hey presto job done.
Then its just a matter of pulling the new cable through.

What are those ditchy bits in the run up to the berms?

they will be the famed Cannock braking bumps :-)
