Hobby cycling is anything but green.

Too much dosposable income is the problem…

What advantages does it have over the previous version?

All the time, especialy footpaths which can get very overgrown…

Have you ridden the "singletrack" medium route from Danby?
Just ridden it yesterday and it was great. If I were to do it again I would miss out the first loop (ascent and descent) though. Highly recommended.
thanks Singletrack!

You can ride the coastal path to Brid or part way to Filey,very pleasant.Theres always the beaches which continue on from the above track to Filey or south of Brid (never got to the end of this stretch!).
How about this:

Have a good time…

Why is it so important to gain access to footpaths formally? To prevent confrontation or arrest?
I don't agree with open access and will continue riding footpaths.
I don't agree with open access as I think certain "trails" will get too much attention, annoying other users and land owners. The flaunting of Calderdales relaxed attitude toward access by "locals", and its promotion by various media, has brought about many more verbal challenges of late.
We don't need open access, just a little common sense and empathy.

Stop publicising footpaths via video, print and forums.Its a numbers game…

Big mouthed yorkshire lad, why the title? Can deal with your vanity, but why draw attention to a "local" trail?

OP has left the building.

Pro boxing anybody?

Seven,shut up!

"other than doing a standard full service with new seals etc do i need anything else?"
Lowers come with seals and bushings,just need fork oil and float fluid for the foam rings.

Wicked…as long as any forces are perpendicular to the wheel

enough to flatter your riding due to a lack of technique and skill,
then add more for quietening your imagination…take off a bit for pedaling uphill,put some back on for image,bit more off for bob…bit more off to quicken the steering,bit more off for frame warranty issues…add some for the trip abroad,bit more so I can put them on the full sus…

troutwrestler:thats a 2008 plan I think,when they replaced the plan praz lift.
peasnotwar:Death and Chamonix go hand in glove,no impact

Forget the mayor,its not an issue!
Spent 2007/8 riding out of Chamonix.I never heard of anyone being stopped apart from the unqualified guide issue of the time.Spent two weeks riding with locals 2009,no issues.Will be going out again this year…
Don't let the rule-bound put you off.

I lived in Chamonix for two years.There are masses of trails of every level of difficulty.All the summer lifts give full bike access apart from the Aguile du Midi and the Montenver train.What the Mayor says, and what is overlooked, are very different.
There is no comparison between Chamonix and Les Gets/PDS in terms of technicality.Chamonix is highly technical,Darren Berreclaw holidays there.Its steep,rooty and rocky and offers very little for your average cross country rider apart from the balcons nord and sud.Get a map and check it out..
Les Gets/PDS has a lot of fast flowy marked trails and a brilliant lift system.The official dh tracks and the trails get covered in braking bumps very early in the season,the Swiss less so.There's a lot of un-official building goes on in spring around Morzine which become common knowledge as they get discovered.
Chamonix is a great place to base yourself if you want to mix it up.Pila,Verbier,la Clusaz,Morzine…all just an hour away.Much more well rounded in the evening…
Depends on what you like to ride,but like I said,Chamonix is in a league of its own regarding difficulty.

Sorry Brant,the comment was for sohara.Lost the thread of the thread!

Superstar wheelsets,brilliant value.Take no notice of the stw propoganda/snobbery…

get rid of it…you won't be the first.All you are going to hear on this forum is people defending their product or current ride.Have a decent test ride next time.
Offer him a refund Brant, or a lesson Ed…

get a pair of Superstar switch wheels:£100,2 year warranty and hand built…they aren't the lightest but they can take a beating,check them out.Absolute bargain in the world of over-priced and over-rated mtb wheels.Heavier rims will "accelerate" slower,is that important?

No pics,just plain old black hubs,spokes and rims, disc compatible/specific.Very light road use,can send you some pics.Email me so I can reply,get msn when i use yours and don't have an account.

Got some good as new mavic 321 rimmed,wtb spoked, deore hubbed wheels off an orange crush,£70 posted…thats cheep!

Self tapping screws (with domed heads) screwed from the inside through the nobs on a nobbly tyre of your choice,heads covered with duct tape…works fine for ice.3 years in the alps has taught me that nothing works on fresh snow,which is the point of riding in it, surely? Enjoy your ride

Swamp Thing front,Minion front on rear,brilliant…
