Click on this thing to make a clicking noise and see achnasheen

but…. Neil is a machine….

he cant be used as an example…

erm, you do know why they aren't going to be there dont you? they are both at the race of champions.

i love living withing an hour of golspie and balblair….

hey, If you want to ride some natural trails, come over to strathpeffer, north of inverness, 1 hour from golspie for the squarewheels shop ride, we'll show you the best local trails…

Best of the best:
Hayes 9 brakes.

WHAT? sorry, I've seen too many break, had a few bad sets myself. Those brakes are a lesson in how not to build a reliable brake!

looking up at it as I type, totally clear skies, its a shame I havent got my camera.

i just wear mw80 shoes, sealskins gloves, altura jacket and waterproof trousers. I dont mind cooking, but with all the training im doing over winter im getting quite good at putting up with it. not i just wish i had an ipod shuffle or something.

why not try DX's?

has anyone else had problems with Ubuntu closing random websites?

thanks, will do, does anyone know their number? I looked on their website, but all i could find was an e-mail form thing.

thanks.

Its slightly more complicated, I work at my lbs, I just tried e-mailing them, and i ain't very impressed by there service so far, this has been my only dealing with them

right click on the bottom right hand side ( at the desk window) and click preferences, easy enough. Thanks for telling me about that though, i had only been using the one window.

really liked the coverage.

easily

Damn, I've lost already. Im upgrading my 2005 Reba's on my race bike to 2010 Sid teams… i recon there will be quite a performance increase… and im replacing my bontrager rhythm elite wheels to Hope XC 3 ( light-ish) wheels.

Yeh, wasn't planning on it but I had my bike at work, so I nipped round for a wee run after. Was amazing weather.

My Lbs….

XS adults i'd say… put backsweep bars or a sorter stem on though, and put the saddle forward on the rails.

What?!? You want a short travel marathon style bike, but your considering trail bikes and not marathon bikes??

maybe you want a trail bike?

P.s I know someone will say theres no difference between "marathon" and "trail" bikes but there is, the anthem X is completely different to the trance and trance X series.

its been good, raced a lot.

Its not German, its Scottish.

thats made my day. thanks.

"nobody makes significant time up on the downhill"

Have you done an XC race recently?

sorry i should have made it clearer, At the XC race at laggan, which is very easy (red, but not hard at all) people who would normally make lots of time up on the downhill had less of an advantage. Seriously… take a chill pill. 😆

depends on the course, if its a trail center (like laggan) then 65, nobody makes significant time up on the downhill, so firetrack speed is obviously everything.

other courses depend on how much FT there is and the chance of puncturing on things, I can run pressures quite low because I weigh 60kg (makes 65psi seem like a lot more) and still not puncture…

They signed up for the army, they were told it might involve fighting… If you dont want to die, dont join the army… DUH.

september the 11th, I was 7 years and 1 day old at the time….

Being scottish, I dont think anyone in scotland can be against immigration, if you think about, because during the Highland clearances etc how many scots fled to nova scotia? I recon we just need to be more accepting. If they want to live here, they should pay tax like the rest of us. If we're all equal, i'm happy.

sorry i cant seem to get that picture to look any bigger, youl have to zoom into your browser! 🙂

is that it? lol

cycra guard are shit… i used one when they were new, and the dont keep as much crap off your face as normal ones do.

Its not the amount of lumens that will we should be considering after we reach 2000! its things like weight, battery size, run times, unit size, reliability, even things like beam paterns and how to cast the trail into a better relief!

if you can make it up just north of inverness on a thursday, come out on our shop ride, and we'll show you the best trails around strathpeffer

runner deffo.cycling doesnt help running fitness, however if you run, your cycling fitness is boosted. He is better than you.

😯 😕

SHIMANO>>> EVERYTHING

it will be boggy, the trails up here are getting pretty muddy. Its covered in snow atm tho…. probably melted by the end of the week though…
i plan to do it in the middle of winter, so i can get at least a little use out of my spike tyres…. we need them up here you know…. 🙂

head up by going on firetrack from the Puffer car park, through towards garve, and head up the land rover track….

Cycling up ben wyvis is fantastic fun.
