Just got back from the alps the xt’s/slx’s that people were using seemed to be the best choice both for stopping and pad life and the 1 finger stopping power cut down on the thumb/finger pain as well,these would be top of my list

Just looking for some numbers rather than “these are better than them”

Tipped up at mayhem with a stripped bolt in an on one stem,the guys on the stand got one to the site for the next morning intime for the race,now thats quality service

Just built up a c456,love the acceleration and hill climbing but don’t like the battering my arse is taking,luckily i still have the f/s to go back to for longer/more knarly rides

I always imagined jedi to be mmmm whats the word,o yes slimmer,no offence intended.

Its a shoulder bolt,there are hundreds on e bay,just measure it and get the correct one.Simples

Just got some shirts from them,they are a race fit ie tight so if thats what you like go for you’re normal size if not size up

cheers for the link,those are the little blighters

I want to beat my team mates at mayhem!

I had the same prob,bg gloves sorted me out

Buy a new chainset now you’ll need it after the race

mmm looks like rule 5 it is

Used to run M4’s,great modulation and stopping power,switched to mono mini’s for weight purposes,still great stopping power but less modulation,tried some xt’s,fantastic anchors but as the others have said they are very on/off with very little modulation,so if you like eye poppers,get the xt’s or if you like to be toutchy feely get the M4’s.Simples

Just keep peddling

Try bamboo base layers little known but superb

Why the dropper post on that bike?

In a 4 and serious about beating all our teams,bikes about 26lbs with its light wheels on

Dont get me started on these puckers

Its full of orange birds in huge dresses,loads of trannies and pikies fighting i would imagin

if you could find an old raleigh chopper gearchange that would look propper niche on the top tube

nice mountains but no mtb content,i’m confused did you ride any singletrack?

the words niche and whore spring to mind

its french so will properbly give up at the first hurdle

la pierre=the peter

Hydraulic brakes are better than rim brakes thats why,my chain is pretty quiet and the only maintenance is a quick squirt of oil but seriously,how do the belts cope with the clag?

Can you get a “power link”for a belt or do you carry one of those emergency fan belts that you can get for the car?(sits back trying to understand why any one would want to waste cash on some kind of nichetastic drive system when chains seem to be pretty good anyway)

sorry thought this thread had very messy eater content

The Crap Bro’s seatpost will be great especialy if you like rusty broken gear

kcnc about £20 last for ages and look great if you can see them under the clag

+1 for the ellsworth,go for a large you wont be dissapointed

fitted some tyres onto these rims last night,pump them up to about 50psi and they will pop onto the rim

check out cycle surgery,40% off on a lot of shorts

Why hasn’t any body mentioned the obvious,the trails are slippy enough at the moment without all you nana munchers adding another hazard,take the slippery little buggers home!!

Team Longsac are in GET OUT OF OUR WAY

I wonder if he got money off the arm pads?

Mmm for the gloves to be waterproof the inners cannot be connected to the outers or the stitching would cause leaks.Ive got a pair of sealskinz and the liners have never come out,must be lucky or have super slick fingers.Try sanding your hands with 1200 grit wet and dry to remove any grippy rough edges.

any one?

Any one been?I know the french are t#### but some one must have been

Surly among the st massive we have one of the dogging fraternety to put their slant on this thread(sit back unzips trousers and waits for reply)

Once sank a speedboat on the way back to the mainland from the Orkneys and had to be pulled out by the local lifeboat crew,does that count as being rescued?
