Cheers everyone,

Miketually – The tyres are a black rubbery sort of compound, the bars on the felt are about shoulder width and the superflys are about elbow width, does that help?

Felt – 2.1 Maxxis Advantage setup as tubeless
Superfly – Nobby Nic 2.35’s as Tubeless

And with the money I will buy some pork pies and Haribo’s as advised by Sofatester!

I’m not just relying on a weekend in Afan to get me ready for it!

Just using it as a good four days of eight hour rides in a row, which I would not get to do at home. Was thinking that it’ll be good to get more time in on the bike I will be using in the race and that the descents are all good skill building on a HT. I’ll take the HT and flog the Felt!

Cheers, And thanks to Bez for a post which was both constructive and broadend my knowledge of acronyms :)

The new Police Facial recognition software will spit out a name within seconds with that sort of quality photo, shouldn’t take long to get the thieving scum.

I had massive problems with this on my stans rims, until I found out about ‘Ghetto tubeless’ which is simply awesome. Its all shown on the link below but basically cut gaffer tape to your rim width, run it round a few times and stick a valve in, then do another run of tape totally sealing the valve against the tape, then pierce a hole for the air to get in. Works a treat and far far more effective (and cheaper) than stans. I have used this system on three wheelsets now and it hasn’t failed me yet.

These are very good, lenses are not as good as ‘original’ jawbones but the frames are exactly the same as my real ones, I know of about 15 people that have got these and all came through with no issues in about two weeks.

I went from a 2011 Scott Scale 20 to Gary Fisher superfly elite 29er and the difference is amazing. I originally got the 29er as a muck about bike so the Scott could be saved for racing, after riding the Elite I listed the Scott on Ebay!

Supposedly the Gary Fisher / Trek 29ers are the most sorted Geometry wise and that shows. It both handles and rolls far better than the Scott.

Cheers, I have been searching non stop for the last few weeks and have to say it has not helped one bit, just as I make my mind up I see another review that slates the ones I’d decided on – Then back to square 1!

When I say full UST I mean factory sealed (non drilled)rims like the ones on the Cobalts / SLR’s and Easton.

In looking at the forums I can’t help but think your much more likley to moan about something than say how great it is, so there would always be more bad reviews than good!
