Just got back from coed y brenin, gorgeous day for a ride. Not cold at all once you get going, plus hardly anyone about. Considering another trail at cyb tomorrow or possibly pen mancho. Will save coed llandegla for next week I think. As far as the grading of the mbr trail, I was expecting more techy sections for a black, but overall a good trail. Jumping into the hot tub with mrs creamegg now and a few glasses of wine. Could get used to this 😀

thanks guys, think i will be doing the MBR today, and possibly followed by Minataur for an extra quick spin. Will look at other routes tonight for the next couple days. off now 😀

having looked at the map I think CyB will be the best for convenience today. Which trail’s the best?

I’ll deal with the snow if and when it comes. Could make things interesting, or turn it into a hiking weekend. It’s all good 😀

If it was me i’d probably change the pedals as I like grippy flat ones, and stock pedals are generally poor, although I dont now which ones comes with the Trek. As above play around on it for a few weeks to see what you think you’d benefit from changing.

if you havent already got it sorted let me know, i have autocad open now.

1 teaspoon brown sugar!

20cm ones apparently!

keep off the bloody brakes 😆

Don’t you mean ‘are there any…’ 😀

4 chainring bolts. exciting stuff.

You got to think about the guy who has to build it. Have you provided all the info he needs? How you present that info isn’t that important as long as its correct and easy to understand and is consistent

I’m on my way back from there now. Currently eating some spicy crisps in minad

what for? its a bike ffs

definately the 17″. im 5’9 and mines 18″, the 17″ wasnt available then,but the 18″ dosent feel too big but a 16″ did

The only time you notice the weight is when you hold it in your hand before fitting it. Once on the bike, it more than makes up for the added weight. I find it a lot easier on climbs that it ever was on my RP23, and once its set up you dont have to fiddle about with the pro-pedal. Downhill it speaks for itself. I kept my RP23 incase id want to swp it back for long XC rides but I much prefer the CCDB for everything. If you can sell your current shock its not that much of an expensive upgrade when you compare it to other stuff you spend on mountain biking kit.

bit of both on Camp Bastion. Well actually I dont even need to pretend to work, got a fairly easy day ahead.

sorry forgot about this thread. Im not sure if I have a picture or not, ill have a look through my old mobile phone. I left to work abroad before the whole bathroom was finished and we split up and I havent been back since to see the finished bathroom. When i left the vanity unit was installed but needed some finishing touches with a sealer. It did look pretty good though.

Buy a bike from a different brand, you’ll get alot more for your cash.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice and apply it to your comments too?

I like Inside Out and Follow Me

Edit: I meant ‘From The Inside Out’ (by Coastal Crew)

its prob supported off the flue adaptor. Sometimes the stack has a different skin of masonry to the breast. Got a PDF doc that could explain it if you want me to forward it? (although dosent show your exact situation but may help explain the different components).

I made my ex-girlfriend a concrete vanity unit. Sounds dull but rather than using standard aggregate and cement I used crushed glass of various colours, crushed slate (which matched the slate flooring) and white cement rather than the grey stuff. I made a mould, with a cut out for the WHB waste (basin was sit on counter type). Few days later took it out of the mould and polished it up using a variable speed hand grinder and diamond polishing disks. It came up a treat, all the glass colours and slate coming through and it was as smooth as a a babys bum. You can vary the smoothness depending on which grade of disk you use. Needs something to seal it too, cant remember what I used now. Not cheap in terms of tools but was a good little project and now she has something unique.

Ive got 4 weeks off from next week so it’s happy days for me and hopefully the weather will stay good for mountain biking, and its payday next week.

not a five but i like that colour scheme

heres a brown one (is that the hot chocolate one?)

im 5’9″ and ride a 18″ five but with slightly shorter stem than standard and it fits perfect. The 17″ wasnt available when I bought mine (2011) so couldn’t say if it would fit better or not. But seeing as your taller I would guess the 18″ would be better for you, but try both if you can.

What advantages does it offer over your current bottlerocket?

its new and shiny?

Ive bought stuff on credit card from Howdens (without an account)on several occasions. Probably not standard policy but each branch manager might be able to do it at their discretion.

The downloadable PDF’s are nice but I can’t get the pages to match the layout in the magazine for showing two page wide pictures.

You need to select ‘Two up continuous’ and ‘show cover page during two-up’ from the view menu

I love my noisy Hope hub. Feels weird riding a bike without that noise now! Saves on having a bell too!

looks like a fun start to 2012! im a bit jealous as I dont think ill be hitting the snow this year!

Hope Tech V2’s here. Been on the bike 18 months and I havent touched them other than to change pads. Prefer them to my girlfriends Shimano brakes that squeal like little piggies on the way to the butchers weather its wet or dry. Couldn’t wish for more power, great feel and been told easy to maintain, but wouldn’t know about that yet.
Haven’t tried the XTR’s but having heard good reviews I wouldn’t mind a go just out of curiosity.

personally I thought it was money well spent. awesome riding and great filming. whats wrong with itunes? You dont need an apple device to use it.

because theres no need for them. what purpose would they serve?

my Mobi dosent leak, so I dont have to stand it in a tray. It lives in the boot and will have some amount of water in it most of the time, no leaks so far.

Ive had a Vaio for the last 18 months and have had no issues with it whatsoever. Half the guys in work also have vaio’s and they all run fine.

ive got some cheapo ones from screw fix and ones from Park. Both do the job as well as each other

beginners? take em to Verderers at FoD, its fun, fast and swoopy and you can do a couple of laps followed by a few downhill runs.

have you got an interesting surname you could use? where will you be based?

150mm for a ground bearing concrete floor slab is minimum we specify.

We also specify block and beam (or insulated block and beam these days) if on a sloping site or if client preferred them or if there was any other reason.

ah sorry I didt realise it was electric. Suppose it dosent alter things too much as you still want the electric matt on top of the screed and the insulation below the screed so that your heat isnt absorbed into the concrete

Currently working on a new domestic build and the floor build up we’re specifying is:

150mm concrete (on hardcore)
Radon membrane (or DPM)
200mm celotex
Vapour barrier
75mm screed with underfloor heating

This may be ott if its only an extension and the insulatiion can go below concrete but for new build thats our preferred design.
