bottlerocket?

I miss him. soon.

there would be no comedy.

complain because he fitted the BB badly?

oh and Hermida (mtber you should know of) got 20th.

brilliant win, great race… sven nys was closing lap by lap, i really wanted him to get closer by the end…

well done you.

look at the bars and stem on the kona… thats dodgy!

I have raced an anthem X during a 1 hour cross-country race at drumlanrig sxc last year, and found it to be absolutely untouchable by other full sussers ive ridden in the same category. The cube ams hasn’t got as efficient a suspension platform for climbing, in my opinion. I am basing this on having ridden a few different full sussers and found the anthem X noticeably faster at climbing. downhill, i didnt get on with the cube whereas i did with the anthem x.

for me, if it were my money i would buy the anthem. I dont own one, but i did consider buying on for short xc racing this year.

the anthems results speaks volumes about its speed. it came 2nd at the national champs (elite) in 2010… that was the carbon anthem X. and it came 3rd (elite) in the national champs in 2010 (aluminium version, ridden by dave henderson)

Cube ones are nice, if short lived.

minoura m-90r is what i use, and seems quite good for the money. HTH 🙂

also after the puffer you wake up thinking you have just slipped on the ice… although for some reason i quite like when that happens 😯

snap on the finals one… except I only sit mine in a couple of months time!!!

haggis in chicken in bacon is what you really want!!

you would be able to sell it in approx. 2 seconds???

thought the same thing myself….

Not impressed by it…. Moronic audience whooping at everything they understand….

toploader is quite nice for road riding for me, nice and chilled, but still got a nice beat.

Good cod

^Sony C902 phone…

anthem for me, every time… although i own a trance x :/

I will be going round during a couple of the night laps with a younger member of the squarewheels team, but i do have to get home and sleep with prelim exams of the day after the event. Il look out of the van for sure and try and talk to you at some point.

they sent you one tyre at a time?

it broke before the race?! thats fantastic, did it just break when it heard you talking about race?

I myself am not doing it, i will be kicking about though, and will probably do a couple of laps during the event.

im going out on a ride there tonight so il update later

yeah, huge thaw on right now, im doubting whether there will be any snow left come saturday!

should clarify, i go through an xt cassette/chain/rings every 4 months, im still using xtr shifters from last year, and they work fine.

are you doing it this year swiss?

heavy thaw on up here, most of what fell last night is gone now, especially some bits on the puffer that see the sunlight.
disadvantages: makes the firetrack harder to get up if the snow isnt frozen, it was a real mission getting to the top.
still loads of ice about, clear skies tonight means it could get nippy and freeze the melt water.

can’t wait to see people suffering this year rather than doing it myself!

I on the other hand am a smooth ox… and generally very light on this type of kit, as im only a little over 60kg. for me they are very strong rims, and needed truing 2 times last season.

looking forward to the car launches… even if they stick on their 2010 wings..
tomorrow we see the renault john player livery revealed.

Im 16 and ride for squarewheels, and there is a bunch of us who do.
I dont think about what i eat too much, which is probably having a negative affect on my racing.

I am 6ft 1 or a bit more, and weigh 65 kilos, so im fairly thin, but its all good because thats the shape to be if you want to do XC…

I have never recorded how much time i spend training really, during the summer it is 5/6 nights a week 2 1/2 hours a session sometimes more. during the winter it is 4-5 times a week (3 turbo sessions).

I go through an xt drivetrain every 4 months, but i am very light on my components compared to a couple of the other guys i race with!

i always carry the correct tools to amputate my own arm anyway.

andy

and their warranty dept. is fantastic

Pah, it’ll be fine. Conditions will be completely different by next weekend!

it can be just a coincidence…. but dont call me shirley.
