    I am, but know you got a sh1t service from Huddersfield Coppers when yours went, which pissed me off as I live in Hudds. Leeds has had a hammering with bike thefts and there needs to be someway of better recording stolen bike nationwide as the bikes that are being targeted are worth more than a lot of the cars on the road. But we need to start helping ourselves some riders don't even know their frame number which doesn't help when trying to find/recover.

    The 'useless' Police also recovered a Lapierre Race 500 and a Trek Fuel which have been returned to their respective owners and are looking to recover more of the sold ones.

    I have a Denson Icelink on my 53 plate VW Passat, it plugs into the CD changer port on the back of the head unit. The Audi should have one as my 03 plate Seat Ibiza that I had before did. It works well as you can control the ipod with the button on the stereo-it also charges it at the same time as it is connects to the docking pont on the ipod.

    Mine went on me a couple of months ago. I waited for one to come in but wish I'd have just bought a new hub. Mine snapped and took out one of the cones so I got a axle kit (with the bearings and new cones. The kit's are the best part of £30, you can get new hub for £40!!

    Isla recommend that both feet are fully flat on the floor with a slight bend in the knee. Had mine (daughters) for 6 months and that is what I have worked on throughout without a problem.

    I run a Mountain King 2.4 on the front and a Race King 2.2 Supersonic on the back. Not had any issues with the RK, they are super light so I thought they may tear but so far so good. The RK offers surprisingly good grip even on wet grassy climbs. I have run RK's on the front and rear but I like t throw the front at stuff and it was a bit lose. A good option or a light setup would be a SK on the front and a RK on the rear.

    There is a spot in Slaithwaite that some of the lads use. If you ring or pop into Colne Valley Cycles in Linthwaite they will be able to tell you where it is. There also used to be one around that back of Charlie Browns just out of Hudds on Manchester Road but it might not be there now.

    I ride with my dog, I normally do around 15 mile with him but reckon he could go further. I ride on the moors with him at my normal speed with no problems.

    I've got them on my DHX4 air, very impresses although I'm tempted by the ones you can get from the Enduro seals website from the states when I need to replace them. They have outlasted the DU bush by a long way. BETD is £5 postage which if your just buying one item is steep!

    plus 1 for Haglofs, I'm using a Halo Jacket at the moment-more off the bike as it's too nice and new to get dirty!!

    But for off the bike Mountain Hardwear are the ones for me.

    There isn't at the ClimachX, just a steepish shale track to get up.

    A mate of mine was waiting for ages…….that's because the LBS never sent it!! Once it got sent it was turned around within a week but that could have been Madison trying to make up for the LBS's inefficiency.

    My 2 1/2 year old daughter has a balance bike, she took to it really easy and is now flying around through woods and on trails. Can not compare it to one with pedals but if she had one with stabilisers we would not have ended up in A&E on Saturday night getting her top lip glued!!
    I paid a bit more and got an Isla Bike as they run a buyback scheme for when they progress.

    Seat clamp might not be long enough but try a wheel Qr-if it fits through the holes you will be able to saw one down and wind a new thread onto it with a die. Got load's of old Qr's knocking about if you find they fit.

    Think it depends on who you speak to a SF-was a mission to get some new pivot's for my Slayer SXC. Leave it with me-got a couple of mate's who work in bike shops who deal with SF regularly.

    I've just taken my M739 hub apart and removed the free hub. In good working order, let me know if you want it.

    Good advice-I've been eyeing it up all day, don't think I'll bother now 🙁

    I found my Shimano XT M775 real axle snapped on Thursday, on the non drive side but it has also sheared away some of the cone. Think I'm going to drop £30 for the whole axle (including bearings, cones and seals) where as Hope will more than likely sort you out.

    Next time I will be buying Hope hoops me thinks!

    There are lot's of good routes around Slaithwaite, Marsden and good route's if you want to ride over from Holmfirth. For a start you can ride on the Bridleway up from Digley to Wessenden Head then head down the Bridleway down the Wessenden Valley towards Marsden and at the second Reservoir go left and across the Reservoir, which takes you to the top of the Standedge (between Marsden and Diggle). Then go across on the Pennine Bridleway for a while on some really rocky and techy sections before a nice long blast down into Marsden.
    Email me and I'll try to sort you some maps of the better stuff.

    The QR goes through the small hole so it doesn't work as a QR as you have to feed the axle through it, it does clamp either side of the drop out. Will sort you some pic's if your still needing them.

    Mine is on my 97 Zaskar and works a treat.

    Depends on your riding, a mate of mine goes through bushes on his Commencal Meta 5 at an alarming rate. Another mate used to go through quite a lot on his RM Slayer Sxc where as I on the same bike didn't. When I changed mine I swapped the normal Fox ones for a BETD needle roller bush which is lovely and is lasting a lot longer then the normal fox one. Drop them an email to check they will fit-I think they will be ok for yours.
    Not heard the muc-off thing myself.

    Wouldn't think so if there was a lock out they would be RL's the R's are just adjustable rebound damping.

    Auto Sol metal polish does the trick on my 1997 Zaskar frame-brings it up like new!!

    Only ridden DH at Foel (on my All Mountain bike). It's pretty steep and I would imagine some of it will be slick. Should still be worth a trip though.

    I got some 2010 36 Talas RC2's from Si in the new year, they are running great. They are 160-130-100. I run them in 130 quite a lot, just extend them at the end of the ride……….doubt I really need to-I'm just like that!!

    Got a 2 1/2 year old too, try here, went to Kelowna (Canada) last winter and had her out in -30 in her snow suit and a pair of Bart's gloves worked really well, worth the money I'd say.

    Do you ever get up there mid week? I work shift's so get time off during the week so could lend a hand if you can sort something. Another lad off my shift use's Stainburn also so I'm sure I could con him into coming up too.
