would like to find somewhere like that with a nice road nearby for uplift assisted fun

did you look around the steep side of bench tor?
does strava bring anything up?

I fitted mine yesterday.. Was mentally tight and hard to get on… Had to persuade it with a rubber mallet in the end…

Jay Williamson does skills days at Gawton gravity hub in Devon
great venue and fantastic rider/coach.

Ah gutted for them, james is a nice bloke, will keep my eyes peeled and will let mates know

Deleted.

the upper part is being thinned atm
By the sound of the text i got, it seems they suspect mtbers?

Ye Haldon Cafside

what the germinator said, tis one of favourites on the moor, super fast and flowy up at the top and then nicely techy on the bottom..deffo worth the climb up from the farm.

i would imagine the bottom section of easdon tor descent will be a horror show too!

butcher grid here up front and pretty much all my riding is on off camber roots…great tyre.

most seem to be around £58 br but wondered if anyone knew of any cheapies going..

@mac cheers but only need a rim and rear is 150 x 12mm.

dunno whether you clicked on my linky but that little beauty felt ace to pull out….

wet mine and bars with isopropol alcohol push on and leave well alone for a night, others have used hairspray/window cleaner etc all to good effect

I wouldn’t sweat it I had wrist surgery this year and they used dissolving stitches, like you my wound failed to heal and i had what looked like tampon strings appearing out of my wound for nearly 2 months, was told not to worry about it by the surgeon.

linky

cheers capt
will look at those options cheers, not massively impressed by Brechfa when I rode there last but it was just after it opened and in february and was cold and pissing down…

the riding can be as easy as you want it to be.
my 8&9 yr olds rode the greens and a few blues around Les Gets and Pleney on fully rigid 20″ wheeled bikes and had a right laugh.
I wouldn’t fancy camping after a day on the trails, its lovely getting back to a bath or hot showers then having a great nights sleep in a comfy bed..
try air b&b for accomodation loads on that site.

As for the riding, just chill out about it, as all standards go and enjoy themselves there.

i had a citroen c1 and a pug 107 great cars..i still have my bike rack for it which is amazing..and for sale if you buy one!
also have roof bars if you need any

i have the esi on my dh bike aka “nhs grips”
great grips reduced my fatigue amd arm pu,p in the alps and never got slippery even in full on all day downpours

I’ve just bought some 2nd hand sweeps off of here with the roughcut damper..in a word amazing.

I use the heavy duty mount kits and nylon du bushes… I do seem to get slightly better life than the top hat and metal ones I used to use..

I had an awful experience with them, very rude on the phone, I wouldn’t recommend them at all.

Gorilla tape…£6 and enough for about 20 wheels.

I love mine too, way better than the 5 it replaced in every way.
Good in the air and fine for xc rides…. Get one you won’t regret it

cheers…will have a look, ideally want self catered and all together though

poah where did you source the toros?

Thanks for the replies, I’ll go have a look at those toros…

I need a picture to determine how good looking you are first.
Mondays and Tuesday evenings I’m available after 7pm.

Consider rollers too. Less faff to set up and more engaging..

may do, will email you

edit no i wont as you’ve left out your email address.
get in touch and i’ll ping you a mobile number as he may be available

what day are you thinking?

ultimate bike solution

amazing stuff.

jambo would be your man,
iirc there isnt an awful lot in the immediate area which is decent but around double waters and the surrounding area there is a lot of great riding to be had. just follow your nose or search strava segments.

wtp size chart here

if it helps the 18 was bang on for mine

my two have a kink kicker and we the people curse
excellent little bikes, really well made and solid, most of the older kids who bmx in the park always want a go on them..

edit, just looked at the links above and theyre the exact models I got

what devices does it work on jambo? just seen your pork hill climb..good effort.

mate of mine runs a few in cornwall, he does very well indeed.

Google wont work with Garmin so I plug in and upload by file, works fine then.

I shortened my hose last night then bled as they were spongy before anyway..
Rock hard with the bleed block in place so popped the new pads in and fitted the wheel….spongy lever again!!

Thanks for all the replies most of the kit looks really nice
