It truly does depend on the fracture & where abouts, the pelvis is a big bone. I broke mine when knocked off bike about 10yrs ago but it was a fracture of the iliac crest which doesn’t really do much except give your hips the width. I was off the bike for about 10-12 weeks (suffered other injuries also) no hospitalisation etc just a crutch & pain killers.

Epping Forest the whole of your ride can be a complete slop fest

Lurcher frame about 3 months ago & should have two complete bikes with me next week (ghost road bike & salsa el mariachi SS) plus currently buying all the bits for the Lurcher so will have 3 new bikes very soon

OH is fine as I sold something I luckily bought yrs ago for peanuts & sold it for a shit load & gave her some of the dosh

I live in east London they are very strict with the policy here due to the ethnic diversity in LDN there started to be a serious problem with family visits to Poland Ukraine Russia Pakistan India Bangladesh Saudi etc etc. you get the idea so the education authority had to take serious approach also school places are a premium here

Actually on holiday now in lakes with my 4 kids I have to have them back by Monday when term starts that’s how it works.

Ow thought I’d quickly check elsewhere before taking plunge & found one even cheaper t’internet thingys great innit

damn thats the more expensive

thnx

gonna be using 38-26 XTR double with a an 11-36 cassette

Can’t post a pic of mine as it’s not arrived yet but ordered a salsa el mariachi 2014 lands in the UK November 5th :-)

I have never noticed the weight difference TBH but if this helps I am also gonna be building a 29 wheel set from JRA & I will uses ACs instead of 240s mainly due to price.

I have a set for about 3 yrs very light & fast but had to replace bearings on each twice no big deal but had a set of DT 240’s for over 6 yrs never had to replace bearing yet

I would also say 240’s roll faster

Seen a pic of a Lurcher with XX which is what made me think about it

Really like XTR always run it

It is now :(

Came from running cx & fells round lancs red rose league as a kid & blagged my way to inter counties (fail). Did virtually whole of Barnsley marathon when I was 13 with my mum (waited down round from start & finished at same place). Was managing sub 40min 10k when doin triathlons later on.

Now just randomly & slowly plod along in the forest with the dog when I fancy a change & enjoy it so much better

Ah ha just seen the threads !

Yeah I did but nowt came, though I just put in “who are active sport”

Cap well & truly doff’d

Boxelder that sounds great though I haven’t really got a clue where I am going but will find out though

Great thanx y’all basically from what everybody’s saying I will at the very least be able to find routes around there to ride the CX & get in some trails. Looks like my next stop is CRC to purchase a bucket full of inner tubes :-)

Unless of course a giant anthem “accidentally” finds its way heading north bound out of LDN with a family of 6 (and a dog)

I for one will miss it I liked its expanse & freedom in content from philosophy, history, illustration, photography to racing, materials & people. It didn’t try to tow any party line which is an element I love about MTB riding. I think it really tried to capture a spirit that runs through all of us regardless of what discipline of dirt we ride. Shame hope all involved moved on to better things & most of all keep riding

Lester u are joking aren’t u..am I missing something here (lost in translation) coz only thing that has stuck my bike recently has been a load of dry fallen leaves.
I ride up from east ham all the way up to Epping via bury wood Connaught waters sunshine plain monk wood etc etc

I’m gonna out & about tomorrow daytime

Dry all the way been in there past two days

Got ACs on Olympic rims used them for over 3 yrs raced em all over done trials centres & lakes no problems. I weigh about 60kgs. My understanding of race 7000 though is they have a limited life 5000miles I think ? The hubs are ace though so u can always get new rims if they go.

My attempt at highlighting the absurdity of the situation by quoting one of the petition comments has failed like the absurdity of this petition will

Fed up with having roads where I live closed for people who don’t live here….. End of story really

Got 3 of em on the bikes mixture of decathlon & believe or not & even better sports direct (muddy fox)- dirt cheap as well ! :roll:

Was great event bit of slog for me doing solo with no support. Highlight has to be the non Lycra wearing rider carrying some ‘extra timber’ trying to chase Matt hart through some singletrack – it didn’t last long & the girl from Canyon bikes 8O
Downside had to give it two riders both barrels in the banksy section who coz I was clearly a solo rider as dark approached also thought I had the ability to mind :(

Just returned took my eldest lad (11) on the north red route at whinlatter his first time on anything near as challenging & his first time on SPDs he handled no probs. had a couple of minor spills and a few rests on the long steep fire road climb but if your lad is older & more competent he will love it. Whinlatter also has a pretty cool blue route as well that’s well worth a ride. It’s a nice centre good cafe & other activities. Parking is expensive though.

If you do get the time seriously try & seek out & ride some of the HIgh St (roman road round ullswater) it’s an epic & so beautiful.

:wink:I’d do Dusk till Dawn solo if I was you

one suggestion log in as a guest here http://www.londonphoenix.co.uk/?page_id=153 on the forum and post up your question in road section sure u will get an answer

where from west to where in NE ?

In 24 solo Hackney GT kit (bright yellow top or one with polka dot sleeves). Great course great event but never had much luck there…. This time though :D
