Cannock’s within an hour of Derby.

Great!

Forgive my ignorance but is the dark peak easy to find/navigate trails?

Tbh there aren’t many weekends free between now and christmas when I’ll be back in Scotland but the superfly keeps crying. That may be because it needs brakes bled and a new headset though.

That looks good! Roughly how hard is hard? level 3 ride equivalent to drumlanrig/innerleithen for example?

Nice, any (good) route guides you know of?

If you really want your cake and eat it then you need a custom indy fab 😉

cross check, semi dropouts mean can do gears or ss

Sir will be after a pair of these (free sock offer makes them a bargain!)

To be fair if you’re spending 10 hours a week in the saddle on a bike worth upwards of £3k then there’s probably a point at which £300 seems in proportion to your spending.

The over riding response from those who’ve used carbon wheels is that it’s not about the weight. To answer the op’s question there’s no danger I’d use superstar carbon wheels.

You will indeed get thrashed, but you probably won’t be last. It will hurt. You will be lapped. No one will take the piss though, cross is pretty inclusive. You will probably love it.

All of this is true, including no one taking the piss. To paraphrase LeMond-it doesn’t get easier you just get faster

That reminds me I’ve got one in a box somewhere 🙂

vegasdave, what are you wearing/riding? give me a shout next time, always good to chat to someone at these races

Raced at Alfreton today in NDCXL, felt rubbish but thought I’d done enough to crack top 100. Sadly not, finished 119th but unless Steve Seamark was riding then possibly sneaked first ss :O

Weirdly I’ve not met an ophthalmologist who would have laser surgery. Just sayin’

cheers, anyone else?

twinklydave, 6.9ssl is a proper beast

good point spin

Found these cheap so might just buy couple sets

um thanks…

off the bike? Just pull out the inners and slide some new ones in? On the cx and road bike (as mtb is ss and hydraulic discs) so run under bar tape

danke!

Slight hijack, similar position here but need some ram for my pre unibody MBP to tide me over until next year when I’ll prob go back to a desktop. Best place for RAM? Uses 2x 1gb at the mo

cheers, I normally fire some dry lube on inners before fit them so might just do that and keep the outers for another year.

They’re on their way out but wondering if just changing the inners will just be a stop gap and end up having to replace the outers soon?

I’m going by this

(alpine bikes on fb)

think there are lots of diversion on xc route?

Before (although never done it) as after 12/13 hours my brain and eyes are on shutdown

bah he’s no Joey

I’m going to put a fat load of money on clubbing then 😀

Testing proprioception would have you closing your eyes and isolating joints etcs

This is what I thought the OP was doing

Hmmm well I’m out, I thought they might be checking for clubbing.

Nail bed to nail bed like this?

yes, fell from a height saving small children from a wild eagle attack!

Ouch! Good karma though 😉

You can just see everyone who reads this post trying to do that test.

Yup 😀
For a while I was comparing my nail beds – shamrothes
Then I realised the op meant finger adduction. Doh

Had you injured your neck/shoulder? Or the side of your arm/elbow?

Seems like you’ve got it tbh. Fragment implies a floating piece of bone, I don’t think they’ve made a typo. If any doubt you should have the secretary’s number and call ask them to get someone to talk you through it.

EDIT: You can get an avulsion fracture (bit pulled off) of the calcaneum which would leave a fragment floating about. Does that make sense/make it any clearer?

Out of interest did you injure it by landing on the foot from a height?

cheers lapierrelady

slight hijack, enough trails to keep a few of us entertained over a weekend?

turbo here, using it for fitness and doing something like revolver video from sufferfest means collapsing on rest minute and trying to recover for next interval. Not sure I’d be able to stay upright on rollers doing that.

My club’s president is lending me his Ti SS

:O very generous!

Break this weekend after 4 races in sunshine in ndcxl. Didn’t get out on cx bike today so will no doubt suffer even more in the mud next week :S

Dammit richpenny beat me to it
