CUBE reaction carbon, looks to be amazing, giant anthem x advanced Sl0 ( friend ordered one…. jealous, me? 👿 )

guys, the ads pay for this site, switching them off is saying that you dont want this site running, take it or leave it.

anyone looked at the new(i think) superlight nevegal and bluegroove? wouldnt mind knowing if they are good, cant just take a kenda sponsored rider's word for it….

So probably best not to eat your antiperspirant then?
lol. great reply.

hey matt, why dont you complain to your local swimming pool about the dangerously high levels of dihydrogen monoxide, its a major component of acid rain….

nice video, the end sums up summer riding for me, after a long day out, the long shaddow at the side of the bike… normally have a can of coke or sumthing when im cycling home though.

+1 for kraftwerk. awesome!

whatever your into….

actually, get an ipod, and play whatever you feel like.

the ligament is damaged and a bone is cracked. i got the injury on saturday, and was meant to be racing on sunday, i rode the course sunday morning and it hurt too much. booked into the doctors on monday, for tuesday, and as the pain had started to leave i asumed they would say that it wasnt that bad, maybe a couple of days off at the most. they7 told me i would have to wear a sling for 4 weeks, but to see them in 2 weeks. fingers crossed.

fair enough, i was fresh out of the doctors when i posted that, might have been a little bit rash.

thanks.

i can afford 4 weeks off, it would just screw up winter training, i wasnt meaning take it off and go mountain biking, only sticking to road.

think il just keep it on and turbo train…

seriously nice bike. these things sell amazingly fast.

Giant XTC carbon frame, newly built pic. now has xt drivetrain..

rides nicely, has served me well already….

no sympathy for you im afraid.

at least they cheated properly

as an easy introduction try this 24 hour race, you can enter as a team of 4. i would advise that…

easy 24 hour event

Muahahaha

confuzzed: that boardwalk is there because you cannot ride properly on the moor, as it is a bog. that is the reason why the dh track is raised.

the new £60 fenwick torch for a head light…. 240 lumens, 1 AA battery powered

never ordered from them before 2 weeks ago, and the stuff hasnt arrived, they say they will resend or refund after 15 days 🙄 refund please…

10UTB is good, maybe have as challenging a course as you can, an event needs to have a distinct feature.

we have:
3x 10 under the ben/ kirroughtree/ moray, these are easy, summer enduros.
the strathpuffer. 24 hours in the north of scotland. in the middle of winter.
mayhem,
relentless 24.

lots of others.

anyway, what im trying to say is that although these courses are all very good, the event organising is good etc etc. you need to find a gap, something undone.

i can only think of a few ways of doing this. course design: a brilliantly technical course. money incentive: attract pro's.

epicyclo. yes, i am going to be riding a bike for a frail old man. in fact im not even sticking to just one side of suspension, i will in fact be doing it on my trance. trance will be blinged up (hopefully) but i couldnt put ice tyres on the carbon bike, imagine if it scraped?! plastic is the way forward, and next year i'll be riding this! jealous?

anyway. puffer is going to be epic, its the first mtb race of the year, and it marks the start of training having to be ramped up for the start of the year.

entering in a team of 4, at 15 years of age, we dont have the reserves to go it alone. 🙂

my bike is in the middle, that is how stealthy it is…. 🙂

same brilliant painful course, restricted numbers, solos are set to fill up in minutes, pairs in hours, and quads in a day.

I can't wait, gives my winter training a focus, be as fit as i can be by february then try and get a lot fitter for the start of the sxc and british races….

CK: for a couple of weeks at most…

the new anthem x carbon frame is around £2000 i think, or cheaper… would be perfect

oli beckinsdale

have to agree with gary_m, I am proud of my success when i race, but i aint proud of anyone else….

i got the elites and they are pretty good, will be getting a lighter set of wheels for racing, but keeping the rhythm's for the tubeless qualities =)

"Ok, i've noticed that some people like to describe themselves as Scottish rather than British, which is fine. My confusion is with those who insist Scots are NOT British?"

people are people, you get it the other way around, people are the same everywhere you go. i dont like any of the SNP bullshit, its a daft idea being independent of britain.

hey richard, see you there, i will hopefully be trying to get a top 8 in the youth category! advice please!: i can get a mud tyre and a crossmark for sunday, no other tyres, whould i use the mud on the front or back, was at the course today and it's super muddy!

mw80's nuff said. only problem is longevity, after a winter of HARD use they are fecked.

the trails aroung strathpeffer are well worth a ride, join the Squarewheels thursday night shop ride…. we're not far from golspie.

thank god they got rid of luca, fair enough he has been at the team for a while, but he isnt racing enough to be competetive.

yes that bit is in the course, there used to be boulder to the right (run off area) but they have now been moved…. aberfoyle was my worst result, a new bike that i hadnt ridden at all until the event, and only one set of tyres and they were semi-slicks….

good times.

which steps??? there is a section onto a landrover track which is a bit like steps, have never raced there in the past, but im still smarting over how good a track it is. even compared to the other sxc's, fort bill was good and aberfoyle was fun, but badaguish's course is insanly fun

rolf, was up on sunday after 4 days of rain, and it was holding up really well. superb course… so little firetrack….

take out the pads, push the pistons out, use silicon lube around the back of the pistons and push back in, this lets the pistons slide back and forth a lot better.

dont buy hayes brakes, they're rubbish. good power and stuff, but they are hopeless for breaking.

it would make them jealous….

was good to see swiss, 46-47 was our teams average give or take a few minutes…

DeVs

we might have to have a team entered in trio just to annoy you, we have around 11 members, i make that out to be another quad, 2 pairs and a trio. one of the squarewheels old folks riders (alek or gordy) can do the solo.

sorted 🙂

lol, liking it.

i've convinced my mum to come out mtbing ( she hasnt cycled in 20 years, is 42) and she just agreed, try and get her out when she isnt busy.
