Yes . Expiry date is the real deal innit

thanks for the replies guys. didn’t know that about merlin…sneaky. no mention of that on their www.

So to shorten the cables just unplug unscrew them from the brake, remove some wee bit (i’m assuming), chop, screw back in?

596’s pretty good though yeah?

Cheers lads, going to try alpine bikes tomorrow but not sure what size they have.

problem with that is that in 3 years time it will be obsolete.

I mean the nexus of course… 8O

+1 blythswood – great pool and spa etc.

Nice walk up the river to the castle

Glenmore lodge ftw

Would the inbred or scandal make a good bike-packing machine? Quite fancy that but with a full sys seems overkill, but I’m not sure what factors make s bike suitable for some bike packing etc

Underrated GnR tune too IMHO

I’ve used these guys at hard gate, near clydebank and think they are very good

Kona dawg 2009
Spec Alez 2007

Seemed to of got stuck after I got married. Odd that

I’m wanting to replace my (to be fair nothing wrong it but I fancy a change) 2009 kona dawg with something similar but from a 2011 or newer vintage. Just need a frame and have £500 to spend so if anyone has anything that might fit in their garage let me know…

Surprisingly good tbh

You can normally phone the Barras and they will let you know, but id agree 9-9.15

Ooh thanks for that.

Jesus you’d think Area 51 is up there or something.

Voodoo is behind reservoir not on the moor side
Douglaston is from entrance to fairways off auchemhowie to the virgin gym
Carglas is the woods across the road from the visitor centre

mmm, it would appear a good old fashioned STW split down the middle!

that type of injury could lead to some raised eyebrows at the local A&E. I will do some googling…thanks for that.

are you reading this?

I would turn right (not left as advised above), but keep a finger in the old page just in case…

we use it at work all the time and it works very well indeed, free as well.

Iirc the netgears nas boxes have offsite cloud backup built into them, ready vault or something similar. You can configure it on the web interface

Hi

One of my pals is after one, send me the pics and price and I’ll drop him a mail.

“the damage”.

e.g. “That bottle of buckfast billy was the damage”.

ben vorlich at loch earn i’m guessing

how long to get up and down?

The shield is fabbydoo.

I’m considering using this for cloudy backup.

Plenty of free clients. Might be a bit geeky though, and not as slick as mozy et all.

If you search the forum for the menteith ride that is one as well. Boggy mind you.

As much fire road as you can shake a stick at. From loch add you could possibly do ven venue or over saddle to Ben lomond

Check they blue function keys for a symbol of a sun. On mine it’s f10 . Press fn and the corresponding function key to increase brightness

druidh – if you have any GPS logs of your adventures I can only think publishing on your blog would be a good thing? Depending on how much work it is I guess. Always nice to be able to pull them into google maps for example for a quick flyby…

The route gurus here should knock up a kindle version for £5 all proceeds to charity . Bosh. Job done. Contribute 2 or 3 routes each. I would buy it for sure.

Is Lenny Wilson not doing a new book? Ain’t heard anything about it for a while though.

thanks piffpaffpoff – i’ll have a look.

crieff! a bloody curveball. Yeah everyone raves about them. Let me trott off to their www….

thanks druidh. I think they are probably much of muchness, as you say maybe macdonald a bit more upmarket.

It appears that the lodges at coylumbridge are all privately owned now and you need to contact the owners individually to get prices. pppfttt.

thanks for that vorlich. maybe something for the xmas list!

blowy.

Great blog vorlich.

I’m kind of interested in this bike packing lark – do you carry a rollmat as well?

i’m still playing skyrim, without any of the DLO (saving that for xmas). Awesome. if you like that kind of thing.

Hi Hunta

I had the same idea as you, and we appear to be similarly hamfisted. Anyway, i managed it and the bike does appear to work ok. well the wheels go round at least.

I took some pictures and documented part of it on my mates blog, but i do recommend you dont go with my instructions and buy a proper book
