    can’t compare to a smorg but they do come up on the generous side almost as big as a wtb 2.3
    Fast rolling and when scrubbed in not too bad on roots for a spike style tyre.

    yes do it.
    How about some nicey trail/xc riders, clean cut girls and boys etc stalked chased generally horror movied apart by psycho zombie weirwolf downhillers. Being downhillers they have to push up but when the trail points down that’s when the fun begins blah blah blah chasing screaming action blah blah blah.
    Whatever you do do it making films is fun and I would like to help out.

    I’m lucky enough to have Church End Brewery as my post ride pub!
    They also do a beer called Retrobike an absolute must have when it’s on.

    You weren’t on the a4177 merrily backfiring away while trying to keep momentum up the hills behind a BMW doing 39.7 sunday evening? Just enough speed to have to use 3rd at the top of the rev range but not fast enough to use 4th.

    I use the use 30.9 – 31.6 from winstanleys in my mega with 30.9 reverb.
    The crc site doesn’t make sense as to what sizes they actually are.

    Use decent coffee, when it bubbles it’s done, when it stops bubbling your burning the bottom of the pot and the next three or four brews are going to taste burnt.
    I use boiled water from the kettle as i find the council pop tastes a bit iffy if not boiled first.

    +1 for landrovernet.com or LRUK as the inhabitants there know it, very knowledgeable and friendly.

    I got nailed by a bee right between my eyebrows as the bee got trapped under the frame of my glasses.
    My friends thought it was hilarious as it was such an accurate head shot that left a target of blood bullseye, white ring then red ring right between my eyes. I wasn’t too amused as I was going full pelt downhill at the time and couldn’t stop to free the wee beastie.

    Has the mech been raised?
    The indentation of the outer cage plate should push the chain off the middle ring. It then widens at the bottom so it doesn’t rub while in the granny ring.
    Try repositioning the mech lower down the seatpost and swing it out checking that the cage clears the big ring by about 1mm or as close as you dare. If you’ve put a larger big ring on then you might have a problem.
