Chain clunk , I would check chain tension first , needs to be fairly tight, then chain , sprocket wear ( assuming chain line is ok).

I must say,though I’m fan or “proper Paces”,these look great

peanut, do they(cuts) feel narrow ? thats my only concern

H-bars, cut or uncut, that is the question? (well for me anyway, cannot decide)

who votes cut over loop ?

Great vid matey

Ive been running one for a year os so, great bit of kit.Was worried after reading some reviews , but mine has worked perfectly. The Freewheel is the best quality out there.Ive only used mine as a freewheel, not tried the fixes option.

There’s the Sculpture trail at Beechenhurst is a nice walk and beautiful this time of the year because the leaves are changing colour. Symonds Yat Rock and Symonds Yat itself are definitely worth a visit, plus there’s Mallards Pike and Cannop Ponds to stroll around. Taurus Crafts near Lydney and Harts Barn near Mitcheldean are also quite nice for a wander around. Close to the Forest you’ve also got the towns of Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth and Chepstow, which are all quite nice to visit. Hope this helps.

I use a caddy as my every day car , because its a car derived van it’s the same speeds limits apply to that of cars , getting 55 mpg , small enough not to be a pain , big enough to carry bikes etc. insurance a little higher than a car ,

I can always fit a second row of seats of I want to carry more people
But on the whole it’s a very good all round motor

Saw them year ago when they released a new single every month for a year , great live band

2pure are the importers and very helpful too.

Try white industries , I’m running some ,very nice and a good price

Lots of the ridges sections have areas of peat which is fine on a dry summer or depths of winter

Do you mean the peat is wet and troublesome all year round ?

Local for a couple of days , nice for it to be dry for a change!

Outdoor first aid cert and Mountain Rescue

Saw a young lad riding a DH rig up from the Dilke today with his arm in a sling , must be the season for it.

Joes garage ,you are what you is , hot rats are greT , he did over 100 albums in many different styles

Ok , haven’t ridden the DH section,but it’s very close to where I have ridden.Its probably going to be Monday night before I can spare the time to go and have a look for you.

Not sue on the DH routes tbh , plenty of Singletrack routes still there though , can you send me the map you have and when I get five I take a look or you

Yes , still some around there

No wine bars round here , only forest

I use an 18v Nomad, great bit of kit and very much worth the money, I also use it with a garden sprayer with sh*t shifter in for a quick clean wash usually in the dark

Or it could have been me , I led most of the 2011 and all the 2012 Retrobike rides around the FoD

may go out for a blast tomorrow evening, I like doing the red and blue together esp if the weather is not too good

I went Friday , was worth it to see Tom @ Demon Frameworks and Jjons stunning Demon Mountain bike – anyone see it?

Drop me a line , maybe able to help

There is great riding to be had away from the way marked routes also , go explore – there’s something for everyone
