    I won a European championship sailing medal in 2003, appearing on the front pages of the Times in the process.

    I had 2 cars stolen from the same car park, same level. One 18th September 1998 and the other 18th September 2001.

    Yep no probs in survival situations. Meat is meat and survival is survival at the end of the day. They say it is like pork so best take a supply of apple sauce on long rides with mates.

    93 Scott peak here. Found it abandoned in the snow before Xmas. So now it has 720mm risers no gears 36-16 SS and slicks.

    Next I’m after some guards and a rack but refuse to spend any cash on it. Only spent 2.50 on an innertube so far.

    5miles each way here no feet down all the way. All country lanes and only seen one car this morning. Can’t wait to get off the train in 25 mins to start the 5 miles home. To top it off the bike was free and the STW massive donated all parts to SS it for free too.

    Given that his ancestors probably fought for their land, you should have offered to fight him for it too

    I was thinking the same for a local landowner we were having issues with. His ancestors aquired said land in fights hndreds of years ago so a few MTB riders should have no problems wielding bombers at a 70yr old toff.

    Alot of the MTBR lot have done the mod, mine came with the Dh damper so can’t comment. Quite a few guides about on how to do it. Your sag still sounds quite low as in maybe a bit too stiff to me. You paid for 160 travel fork so use it all. I was on a medium spring at 200lb ish and I’ve only changed to firm when doing bigger drops.

    What’s your low speed compression on?

    I have the DH damper too in a coil and find it pretty good.

    Slow Speed compression is for just that slow speed hits when the fork is moving slow + on the slow gives more resistance on slow speed travel.

    High Speed is for high speed hits – like riding into a rock or a big drop – when the fork is moving fast. + on the fas tgives more resistance to the high speed travel.

    Stick them to about +4 clicks on both and you will be fine.

    Like I said about the spring – try one less – normally find them floating on here for about 25 – 30 quid. Especially of your not landing big drops etc I think there is definite room to run a lesser spring rate. How is your sag?

    Jedi – have you tried lighter or are you blowing through that on your mad drops?

    With the coil – take the RS guide and throw it away…. Use a spring rate that is one less than you are meant to seems to be the synopsis.

    MTBR has a few good threads on Lyriks. Id say your probably a Medium Red Spring at that rate. I am 14and a half and just moved into firm spring when the guide reckons I should be on X-firm.

    I think I read it was 4-4-1-6 Hi-Low-Floodgate-Rebound (from slow) was a good place to start. The RS site has a guide on the Mission Control Damper.

    PDF for Mission Control – unless you have MiCo DH

    Is it fair to say that the energy company has done a good job keeping it all together for a week considering the catastrophic events?

    What would be success now? Complete cooling then tidy up, is complete cooling likely or even possible? I can’t imagine the tidy up will be easy.

    With the gears I took the mounts off each lever and swapped them over to the other leaver to allow the gear mounts to be next to the brake mounts. Like this :
