im building one up with lyriks. do any of the respective riders have pics they could post of their builds? cheers.

Gary_C, in order, where were those pics taken??

standard 1 1/8. i have the 2009 sl and i use a standard chris king.

I’d be interested in this too, but for august.

Do the trails from wengen continue down to interlaken? That’s a stunning pic elspaniel.

Anyone?

maybe a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any pics of their achievements?! 😀

I have to say i like that stage a lot. Mainly has to do with having cycled it 2 years ago. Admitedly not nearly as fast! 😯

Hmm, by the sounds of it i may give it a go. If it doesnt seem right, i can wind the forks down…

it would be a 2009 i think. At evening crowd?

Ye but your abilities on a bike far out weigh mine. Ive seen a bottle rocket and they seem a fair bit tougher than a 5-spot.

I thought that. They are the uturn version so adjusting the travel isnt a problem. I just wondered if there would be too uch stress involved and too slack an angle at full travel….

ha, brilliant, cheers 😆 the tub in my link also comes as a tube. There may be an obvious answer to this, but ive never done it before so wanted to make sure…. unless you meant this……

do you mean this? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=980

Anyone?

Geetee1972 – if you have another firm and X-firm spring for a u-turn lyrik I would like to send some money your way or donation or both…..

if you could do one trail in chamonix what would it be?

What map would you recommend to show these trails. i.e. Swiss National, Morgins etc etc

Cheers for that David, just what i wanted to hear 🙂

im going for the first time the start of august. The group i am going with is quite varied. is there enough flowing singletrack / xc trails to keep the short travel, hardtail riders happy??

ygm 🙂

It is possible. But for 6 people it will be a bit difficult. Many companys do larger people carriers / crew cab vans, but most dont allow this size vehicle abroad. Ive hired a Transporter and a Galaxy the passed 3 years for a eurotrip / climbing holiday. Arnold Clark ahave a category for Transporters, Vitos and Frafics that would probably be your best bet. I also know that National have a good few Trafics in their fleet just now. As for paper work all you need is your passport / ID, drivers licence per driver and the printed hire document you will be eailed by the hire company. As long as you can get a suitable sized vehicle its a piece of p*ss. Just try avoid as many toll booths as possible 😀 if you have any questions regards the hire, drop me an email and i will see if i can help….

I cant find any pads that seem to come with the bolt and c clip. only the spring…

evening bunch??

bigyinn – unfortunately not. Its a bolt that runs through the caliper, through the pads then through the opposite side of the caliper. Thes a small c clip also. Had a small tumble at Glentres, lost the c clip and the bolt in turn worked its way loose….

Really? well its pretty much up for sale if anyone is interested…

anyone? 🙁

This may be a really stupid question. But how do you work out what length of spoke you need? is it the entire length? from the curve to thread? curve to top of thread?

Nope. use a tatty old post in the stand. wouldnt chance it…. 🙂

Exactly what Digger90 said. Stunning place for road bike…..

i have an S Works frame very similar to crazy-legs that i may want rid of. Anybody interested or know anyone whose interested?

where do you get the mamadirt decals printed?

well, that was obvious… 🙂 cheers 🙂

On a plus side, you now have a fun filled evening of tweaking nipples….. 😆 sorry 😳

nah, was hoping for something a little more Highland. Lochs n burns n hills n tings 🙂

TJ – doubletrack and singletrack preferable. Doesnt have to be too far either. Maybe only few hours riding per day. want to ride a bit and chill at the campsite. Just fancy getting away….

HTC HD camera is really good but the battery life is really bad. Ive no more input than that…. 🙂

hmmm, im tempted to just give at a go….. aww gawd, this will end in tears…. 😀

here mizzou’s build 😆 😆
