I have a pair of SID World cup and Pace rigid carbons to swap depending on where I ride, except the SID’s have been in a box for 2 years, each to there own. I don’t throw myself down cliffs, but if I did wouldn’t dream of doing it on rigid forks…….

32 X 18 simples……….

I bought mine on Saturday, I rang them and was not informed of the new policy. My insurance starts on 12th. Although I don’t think any of my bikes are over £1000, I do admit to having one for everyday of the week, (a standard week does have 11 days, doesn’t it)

They posted my frame, but it took daily emails to get the forks…….a week later

Marin County, China Camp State Park (east side, just north of Sausalito) – park by the sea and do a complete loop – maps on t’internet – going anti-clockwise up to the radio mast then traverse right across the hill and back down to the sea. Fab trails and probably my favourite in the area.

How far north of Sausalito? I have a plan…….

New cranks, second hand but very good, chainring and lockring
I’ll try the 118 and see if that works…

I’ve managed to borrow a 118 BB, so I’ll try that.

Chris, I emailed re the other light I have of yours, can you let me know if that’s possible?
Ta

I have the new type, that’s too slim to mill so we’ll attack, I mean machine down the chainring

I’ve used parclefarce and to be fair, so far so good. I’m lucky I can get parcels delivered to work. whih saves the hassal of traipsing down to the office when they “fail” to deliver it. Royal Mail did however leave my other half’s new garmin outside on the doorstep in the rain……

Spidereyes posted this morning to Andy RT.

Chris, I’ve emailed you with a plan? If it’s not a goer I’ll get the silver prototype back tom you. please let me know what would suit you best..

Cynic al, what do you have? I don’t need a tyre but I may well be interested in forks and wheel…….

ahem………

I realise the other option is to fit a pugsley fork, but then I wouldn’t be able to swap wheels and have a choice of 1/2 fat / 29er and my Pugsley would fall over……..

I’ve bought and sold quite a bit over the years. The trust level is really high. Still occasionally get gazumped, messed around, but the good guys are really good……and you learn to avoid the dorks..

when you fall over sideways………

Chris, I still have the Spidereyes. I had lurgy and not ridden for a week but hopefully out to test it again this weekend and our Monday ride then I’ll post it on to the next borrowee…….

2 possible projects, so I’d even go with one of those new fangled, modern disc braked 29er frames……….

I will be there, despite the spelling mistake.
Please bring along you’re 16″ Karate Monkey or other 16″ SS 29er or possibly non disc steel frame……..

I agree, it’s difficult to get to much off road stuff from the middle of bristol where I live without loading up the car.
So if I’ve only got a few hours I can vary things by riding the same trails, ss, fat or retro, each have their merits and keeps things interesting.
My favourite ride ever was Ashton Court and Leigh Woods in new snow in the dark……….really amazing.
Brant i took the prototype for a good spin at SSUK, couldn’t believe how different it was from my Pugsley

I ride a variety of bikes. There are new trails at Ashton Court. I ridden it on my On One, IF, and Overbury, on a good day I can easily keep up with a fruity ride on my Pugsley. My mate has a Sunn Bmix and says that’s the quickest he has done it on. He has also borrowed my Pugsley (with an open mind) come back laughing like a loon.
Each to his own.
Riding anything is better than not riding………

I saw it last night. Work in progress, but looks “interesting”…

Toons

Got the Spidereyes. Many thanks. Yea Gods that’s bright.

Chris is this the cut down helmet version?? It’s much smaller than I expected.

Cheers

dry SB 8
wet high Rollers
intermediate Specialized fast track (ideally the old ones)

Toon, I am Pete, so is flashes (work and home)

I belive they are to slow you down as most of them are before a pair of rocks indecating a crossing……

neninja
Nice…..

long sleeve winter tops only 1 small left and the only marino top was a small womans, (just call me Dorethy) I was beaten to the bike stuff by locusts……..

and not forgetting the retro ride after………..just polishing my Spins in readiness…..

Just let me know when you’re down next and we’ll arrange something…

I’m still looking to buy lights, I’ll drop you an email from home, after my evening Pugsley Ashton Court circuit……

The first time I rode the Bristol – Bath cycle track I found a dead body……

Cheers, I’ve emailed James (Toons).

I’m still interested in buying a light but would appreciate some help on choosing the right one.

Bring a bike down (or I could find a lend) and I can introduce you to the new trails here. You’re very welcome to try the pug, if you fancy.

If these are still doing the rounds and it’s OK with Mr troute, I’d like to try ideally the Spider eyes or failing that Cutie.
I’m in Bristol, currently my email address doesn’t appear to be in my profile, but I’ll try and fix that.
I’m pete(AT)fixedbristol(DOT)org(DOT)uk
Just the thing for night practice laps of tbe Bikefest course on the Pugsley, my “brill” lights from last year are nowhere near as good as the new trails dictate.
Cheers

I have 2, I like them, both SS, fine for most things apart from serious downhills and long sections of rocks, depends where you ride…..

c

Take company car in on Mondays, take bike left in strationary cupboard over weekend, cycle home, repeat til friday, leave bike in cupboard, drive home. Not far but quicker and saves sanity………

Not ridden 29 er so I can’t comment on that but I’m a short ass so a 16″ 29 er looks silly. I’ve owned 456, scandal and 853 SS frames as well as my origional non disc inbred. All were sold over the years except the inbred, it’s great. Does all, feels good to ride, really nimble, which suits me, climbs, good over winter, etc. I have a Ti IF SS and if I could only keep 8 bikes would sell the IF. The On one’s a keeper….as is the Pugsley, (but that’s another thread)………

Is there a rubber O ring, I’m sure mine has one……

I run 40;16 around Bristol and that’s fine. Slightly lower if you take it down bridle paths, etc

did a practice Bike fest lap last night (30 mins) and going near flat out met someone going the wrong way on Timberland trail when I “mentioned” this he yelled I wasn’t the only one to tell him that. I did suggest heeding that advice, reading the maps, reading the signs, etc.
I hope that wasn’t one of you…………
