This belongs here I suppose

Great pics but that water looks deep!

Could have got a great launch off the bank at the bottom of the hill! 😀

FA on the rear I've been using for a while, big volume great for rocks grippy as I want really but still rolls well.It's rocky and rooty here and copes well. Tough as old boots.

The new one is one of the new front specific types. I've not really given it enough stick yet to comment though, but early impressions seem good.

I'd just try one on the front if I were you to see if you get on with the weight first as it will seem a lot to swap both at once

I have the MW80's, racey and quite sleek for a winter shoe but in reality I think the MT90 is more practical for hiking through the sludge.

Oh and the neoprene does nowt as regards to keeping water out.

I've just taken the spacers out from under my stem and put a wide high rise bar on.

As this brings the connection point closer to the wheel I feel I have more control than a low riser with spacers underneath

This of course may be complete boolarks…………….. 🙂

There is a fellah calls himself The Cycle Therapist (Bristol area) has very kindly put an instructional on his site,could be useful

The mud's deep here love stay in the middle

Maggot farm worker for half a day, in the hills between Tod and Bacup.

If there is a hell on Earth,this is it.

The billions of Flies/Maggots feasting on rotting fish and chicken guts does not make for a nice aroma.

I changed my clothes in the carpark outside, drove home and my Mum still wouldn't let me in the house.

She then ran a bath for me full of disinfectant whilst I stood outside in the snow in my undies.

Later in the pub when things warmed up a bit and my pores opened up people were saying,'what's that rotting smell'

Not my finest hour……………

Glad I don't live in the Uk anymore jeez.

It's 1984 there 🙄

I can see those forks appearing in the classifieds soon, it's crying out for a coil Lyrik (with a gert big spring in it!) 🙂

Plenty of time later in life for looking like a knackered smelly old vagrant .

Enjoy the last vestiges of youth whilst it's still there I say.

He'll get bored in a while, shave it off to find a wrinkly old git underneath……….

There's a great two day enduro with timed downhill sections in Sospel (search 'Zapiks Sospel' for videos)

I think Adam was sporting just such attire when he met Eve…. 😀

Don't you have a file?

Don't quite geddit having just watched a blind Yank do Everest…….

speaking as a Yorkshireman of course!

I'm one of six, if we had mumps(etc.) we were put in bed together so we all got it. In the Uk as an adult | felt like I was never ill. I now live abroad and believe me my GF and I have a whole new set of bugs to contend with.

My girlfriend had hers done years ago, and as Hustler says she does now need reading glasses but other than that her eyes are fine.

She was practically blind before the surgery and had to feel for the exit door along the wall when she got out of the swimming baths ,couldn't go swimming in the sea as she'd never find the towels on the beach again etc.

So….. what happened next………….air or a gentle roll-over? 😯

Go for it boys 😆

Effed up there then didn't I (Hibike.de) 🙁

It's a whole 12 miles from Tod to Halifax it'll be ages yet 🙂

In the spirit of Singletrack type awards you're supposed to suggest 2 or 3 out of thousands and expect everyone to vote for things they've never used……………

FAIL

Best I ring Tftuned tomorrow then as thats where I'll be getting it from

Lovely car, one of my biggest regrets was not swapping my old Fiesta with my driving instructors tatty old red one.

Turns out it had the original logbook with Pinewood studios on it and has since been restored to it's proper colour.

It now lives in a car museum in Oldham I believe.

A bank to put it in…………..don't trust banks me!

Everyone is talking about the climbing, but what put me off was that by all accounts it's virtual lockout apparently when descending when standing on the pedals.
Never ridden one so I'm quite prepared for a roasting…. 🙂

This could help a lot

TUNING

High speed controls bottom out and square edged hits, however, you will have to compromise if you go either way. Increasing high speed compression will prevent bottoming out, but the ride will be harsh.

Reducing high speed compression will make the fork feel more plush on the square edged hits, but will cause the fork to bottom out. The idea is to tweak to fit your riding style and terrain.

To tune high speed compression, start with the knob in the middle, ride, and adjust as necessary.
If your bottoming out your fork with the high speed compression knob fully clockwise you need a stiffer spring. (more air)

Low speed compression is just as easy to tune as high speed. Higher compression means less pedal feedback (bob) and brake dive.
Lower compression means better small bump sensitivity.
Find a good medium that will both reduce user feedback while still maintaining small bump sensitivity.

This from MbAction, it's a start……..

36 Float RC2 fork

Sag 30 millimeters.
Low-speed rebound: seven to eight clicks out from closed.
Low-speed compression: seven clicks out from closed.
High-speed compression: seven clicks out from closed.

A friend phoned to ask if I fancied going out on the bikes with him and his mate in Sospel, I declined as I was already out and cream crackered…………………………………………….His mate was Fabien Barel he told me later in the bar,gutted!

I can't believe I just watched that much TOB without any adverts!

Ridiculous Ads to coverage ratio on 'The Tour of Britain' 👿

My dearly beloved has had terrible migraines for 10 years.

Turns out our butcher of a dentist left half a tooth in at the upper back of her mouth which should have been removed.

She has had infections up into her sinuses causing all manner of problems.

She sits here with five stitches in her gum, dosed up on Ibuprofen and antibiotics, hopefully sorted.

A good place to start looking may be yer gnashers……….perhaps

Kobe Ti harsh?……………..Not to me, but I'm a fairly plain guage 14 stoner,so maybe whittling some bits to the thickness of a coke can would be lost on me.

Carefull now on the steep, gnarly terrain
