your video is "private" ooooh

A little slower than normal, not much though 😐

Im enjoying my SIDs atm but havent tried durins. If it was my choice again, i would go with rockshox, warranty is fantastic!

little dropping oop north of inverness. not much though

im in the same boat as you, i break far too many per year, advice: only look at brick-phones and no sliding bits.

i got a c902 (with a very little slidey bit and a camera) very happy with it

I dont subscirbe to ST, but i get it every month without fail from my LBS.

The magazine itself is much more finished feeling that MBUK, which is too glossy for my liking. The photography in ST is the best of any magazine and the actual word count is much higher than in MBUK (or it seems like it) Mbuk seems to be written for a reader age of around 7; and the best thing about singletrack for me is that it differs from MBUK on this score, in a good way!

I look forward to the magazine every 6 weeks, because every 6 weeks i know the cover will be nice and clean, the photography will be great and the articles superb.

Good job everyone at ST towers, keep up the great magazine!

ignore idiots like "CKT"

because you need them.

bitch-slap him 😈

Well, we have:
Haribo hill- where we stop and eat haribo jelly babies.
X-ray,
Bill- a skeleton on one of the trails
View rock- the viewpoint (on a rock) above a descent.
camels back- a descent over rocks with two small humps
the widowmaker- a sharp climb lasting a minute.
Tesco tumble- a tricky downhill where local tesco manager fell.
water splash- dont have to explain this?
whales back- a rock with a ridge to it, looks like a- you guessed it.

there are more.

my opinion is that race kings are better than the other two tyres, and if you want to buy a new tyre, try the more expensive version of the speed king, although is is more of a spring-summer-autumn tyre, deffinately not winter.

yes, lube the chain at this time of year! there is so much grit about that bikes get trashed.

TJ- the puffer trail is my local, can you imagine how bad that is for wear in bikes?!

Ministry of sound- electronic 80's, Best.Album.Ever!

darts
snooker
bowling
(and golf, figure skating and horse riding(in particular dressage))

your not built like a climber then… skinny people are naturally better climbers than stocky people, who have more power.

can you not buy different levers?

what does it matter TJ if we all know what he means?

all for it, splitting an atom to release energy gives out a few million times more energy than burning the same amount.

You didnt even unweight your bike for the waterbars? or the watersplashes?

I wish my trails were that dry.

If you are thinking about patenting the "idea" then dont be an idiot and post on here what it is, because then you arent able to patent. alternatively if you dont care, and you dont want a massive Pharm company patenting it, then post on here and its in public domain….

have just picked up a set of stans 355's on pro 3's and they are around 1500grams if it helps…

To celebrate the ordering of my new frame I'm going to perchase some new wheels.

And to celebrate your new wheels, a new drive train? and to celebrate the new drivetrain maybe some control components? wait… thats just custom building a new bike. 😳 🙂

oh and trail_rat, firefox on Ubuntu worked for me, whereas chrome on ubuntu didnt…

6 miles carl

no way, RPRT site doesnt show strathpuffer gallery's on google chrome, but it does on firefox…

right place right time, pic's dont seem to be up???

Vipond's bail will be fantastic on the adventure show, when they try to make it sound heroic!

its scandium… anyway, i'd go for the XTC advanced SL! Much better frame. i've seen a couple of scandium frames snapped, whereas i know that giant carbon is very good.

il be running ice tyres for the first lap then changing to muds. 🙂

trout, YGM… again!

And have a safe journey up today folks, see you tonight or saturday morning! 😀

trout- just picked it up from the post office this morning, they tried to deliver while we were out… YGM anyway!

Squarewheels team 2, only 36 hours till the start??? Oh dear!

i Keep telling the others in the team theres no point in running at the start! seriously 25 hours and you get people sprinting away at the start… My personal plan is to pace myself all the way through.

thats reversed, the typical view is the snowy one, and the sunny one shows the current weather. 😯

i suppose you had to make it fair though eh? and we know where all of the waterbars are, we know where to hop!

(local) i'd say Mud, but be careful on your first few laps!

doug, you weren't meant to tell them about the puncture-bars, were going to come last now! 😆

im gutted too, i've had mine for years and thought it was all going to come good this weekend! TBH i think there will still be enough ice!!!!!

because its not the tyre that is puncturing normally, its the tube, and so no matter what the tyre is made from, if the tube is being pressed between the earth and the rim, it will puncture!

the firetrack only has a small amount of ice on it, and it probably wont have any by tomorrow night, its melting amazingly quickly! anyway, i'm taking mud tyres as well as my ice spikers because after a few laps they might grip better.
