South wales biking good :-) newport is a sh1thole of the very highest order, 39yrs in the port! I’m sure mamadirt will be along with a more considered view shortly:-)

I have a Ccdb for dh type stuff and a boggo rp23 for xc, Ccdb kills the bike on xc for me and dulls it unless it’s pointing downhill

He obviously wasn’t too deterred as he was selling parts from 4bikes stolen at the recent wdmba race at rheola, whilst on bail I’m guessing?

Pfft mincer…. Pre jump ;-)

I’m considerate unless they have a top on with (still hunting) written on it, they can **** off! Dip the clutch and drive like a ****.

Energy gel sachets at the tops of climbs….. Grrrrr

Tonic water… Contains Quinine, Works well for me.

I bought a 2012 five frame with Ccdb, still preferred my old blur 4x. but hated having to put bearings and bushes in the bastard every couple of months. Think I’m still adapting to it perhaps? im going to try a 2010 Rp23xv I got off a mate as I found it a bit dead on trails, but it did piss past a bloke on a trek session up cwmcarn dh.

Seen rob warner snap his bars cranking it off the start line at a dragon downhill at mynydd du, he kept riding one handed!….. Animal.

Could be at cwmcarn as I’ve met some boys from transition on an uplift day there previously?

http://www.rideinwales.co.uk/ aimee dix. Has done dh to world cup standards? I fink.

Visonic here blooming great alarm fair play

Ride bigger stuff I did an uplift day @ cwmcarn downhill and five coped fairly well, never really missed a beat after 11runs, I was trying to keep up with my mate who races dh on his new foes. Not a chuffin hope really but did overtake some geezer on a trek session. Mwahhh hhhah hhaaaaa.

Look for an mbr workshop type guide or you tube orange five bearing swap as it’s the same design

Yarp Simon is an excellent shock tech, and an all round top fella. He is very very busy at present
