"Half of it was closed when i went the other week, disappointing after a 90 min road trip!! check the website for closuals before you go" 😕

I go about twice week as I live within 20 mins. Never seen more than about 10% closed or diverted for either improvements or new bits. At leaset they are constantly improving and maintaining the place. Agreed its not the most challenging place to ride, but ridden hard and fast, its still fun 8)

Doh! wrong forum, sorry mods 😳

I Also had this email from him when I posted a wanted add for an XT crank arm or chainset……I'm asking for a 150GBP for it including shipping to you. Yes they are
175mm long. Whats your complete shipping address and phone #?

Best Regards,

Carl.

Yeh, i'll send the money right now 🙄

To be honest I was expecting some crank emails 😆

Check out Ready to Ride Cycles choice of HT components pedals. They are the same ones sold by Nuke Proof and Superstar, at far cheaper prices.

DaveyBoyWonder, yes as clarkpm4242 said, you can pick up trail maps from the centre (I still think their free) shuv it in yer backpack, and away to go 😉

julians, it starts in the 1st of the big black runs, about half a dozen turns in there is a tight lefthand bermed turn around a tree, instead of taking that turn, just got straight up the bank/berm and your on it 😉

Got a brand new Dirtworker for £19.95, chuffed 😀

Think i'll plump for a 70mm, based on the above . Thanks to all for their input 8)

My wifes got one, but can I buggery find it 😆

If your on a budget, you can pick up new Manitou Swingers a good prices. These were made by Progressive. The 6 way is near identical to the 5th Element 😉

Seiko Kinetic divers watch, worn for the last 19 years, still on the original strap, never serviced & keeps great time.

Anyone tried water instead of petrol 🙄

Cheers so far guys. Will investigate all sugestions.

Should'nt have your finger up yer ring when decending 8)

You need to see a mechanical engineer 😉

Crank Bros 19 here. On the odd occasion I have needed a tool, it has always come to the rescue 😉

Stick a patch inside !

If its a Nikon D3X with 500 f2.8 lens & Manfrotto carbon tripod, I think it fell out of my pocket this morning 😉

14 stone, always run 21-23 psi front (DIY tubeless). I also prefer wider rims such as 5.1's or Flows, which give a better tyre profile for cornering, especially on 2.2-2.35 tyres.

PeterPoddy….is that tapered spacer still doing the job on your Pikes ?

If you slow the rebound down and it bottoms out, you have TOO much rebound dialed. I am about 92-3kg kitted out, always run a std. spring in my (Pushed) Pikes,never bottom out. Try a bit more compression damping ! 😉

All done 8)

Go on then. Paypal gift OK, if so to which name, Cheers.

£25 Posted ? 😉 (Freeriders that is)

£25 posted 😉

Pics of Freeriders please, mail in profile.

Tread width = 55mm, Side walls =59mm on Stans Flow rims.
Got the Black Chilli ones, Superb all round tyre.

Radieuse ! No not tried it, but willing to 😛

Pikes here……Oh! and I just happen to have some for sale 😉 http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-pushed-454-pikes-360-maxle-superb-just-serviced-2

Have you removed the rebound knob, and then undone the holow bolt it goes through ? nothing on top needs to be removed to get the lowers off !

Been 250+ times in rain, hail, snow, ice, wind, dusty + and sunny, at night & day. Still enjoy it. Lucky enough to live 15 mins away. Maybe not the most challenging place to ride, but then I'm not Gee Atherton either. One thing I do see going as often as I do, is the amount of hard work and investement that goes into the place, noy only on the many new bits of trail (that hopefully will be open soon) but also maintaing the existing trails. 8)

HSBC were offering McAfee free for 12 mths on line 8)

Got these ones with Ti axles for £86, very slim & only 295g, superb pedals so far. As far as I am aware they are the same ones Nuke Proof are selling for £149.

Prior to these , I had been running V12's for the last 2 years. Super tough and reliable, but no where near a comfy to use as the Nano's.

Got some Pushed Pikes for sale in superb condition. Just put them on the classifieds 😉

Hi Peterpoddy, the part with the rubber bladder is strippable (is that a real word :?) I put sae10 oil in mine. The other tube is Marzocchi's version of a dual air chamber (very unreliable), which I dumped on mine and fitted a modified Pike U Turn spring assembly. It just happens I have just put them for sale on the classifieds with some pics of the modified bits 8)

He'll be gutted when ebay bill him for £60+ final value fees 😆

YES you can. I have changed my QR x 135m Pro 2 to a 12mm x 135mm. The wheel was on my Hustler as 135mm QR, now on my Alpine 160 as 12 x 135 Maxle, Simples 😉

Great for the amount of punters, and the silly bids they give. BUT beware of the fees, the adverts are cheap, but the Final Value Fee is steep, plus the Paypal fee if taking payment that way.

I sold a frame last year for £495, it cost £60 to sell, advert around £3, Paypal charges £17, and Final Value Fee £40.

To be fare though, I put it on here for £450 and it did'nt sell.

If you do put it on ebay, make sure you have a few good photos, an honest description, and include your mobile number in the add. That way you might get someone wanting and willing to pay for the item before the auction ends. In that case you could cancel the auction before it finishes, and get off paying final value and Paypal fees. Hope that lot makes a bit of sense 😕

Talking about LABOUR, hows the sales job going 😆
