Depends on the child’s ability. I have seen dads with kids with very young kids way out of their depth, seems more like an ego trip then the childs enjoyment. I have a 4 year old that can get wheels off the ground, but we always go early and stick to blues / little known trails

can you run the Gravity Dropper without the boot?

I do 23 miles each way 1 day and 10 miles each way 4 days a week. Anymore and it effects my mountain biking at the weekend.

Shower pass and howies

I think the 2.2 is a completely different tread – proper xc/race.

it is terrible in mud, wheel stops moving, it was fine when I had a fox fork.

it is very tight with my rebas, rubbish in mud

The Shell CEO only took home 25million euros last year, probably does need a hand out.

I use ikon front and rear (the huge 2.3s), not sold on it as a front tyre, but not really sure what else to match it with.

I don’t find it surprising that they are “making a loss” in a country with enforced tax laws, while making huge profits in countries with little to no tax liabilities. Sounds like standard global corporate structure to me.

war for oil security is also pretty expensive.

The big 5 made profit of $177,000 per minute last year, Corporate greed is why low level jobs will be threatened.

Loosen the stem bolts, then tighten the top cap bolt

Most private schooled adults I meet seem more dependent on mum and dad, but life does appear to be easier for them.

This was not lead by consumers, it was because the big companies stopped making 26ers. Even if you opted for the smaller brands you were worried about future upgrade compatibility.

yes, we need a change.org petition to move the copyright outside of the logo.

Surprised they have pudding.

You could try teaching your child to tidy up.

can you get replacement covers for the brake levers i.e put a black deore on a xt ?

One up expander + rad cage is pretty solid, using with a zee mech.

All very different takes on going around the world on a bike.

Its fine most of the year, but can get very overgrown. From the radio masts there are two paths you can use down to Denton. Where are you commuting from?

where can you buy goldtec hubs these days?

I think the strongest setup is screw on hub + freewheel e.g White Industry, you can change the cogs and rebuild with the WI. I would check his chain tension as that can speed up tooth wear.

I barely get my tyre under my Reba, bloody stupid bridge design.

it will not work because of they way the cassette cogs are grouped.

paul comp looks great, but probably out of price range.

Flat bar singlespeed is the way to go if you want hassle free commuting. £500 will get you something nice and light second hand.

Guy in Brighton has one, looks like a shit version of the future.

you get shouted at if you ride on the road, you get shouted at if you ride on the “shared” cycle paths. I would rather be shouted at on the roads and at least make decent time.

A 14 year old should be able to manage to exists for a few days. You do not help you kids by doing absolutely everything for them. My 3 year old already helps with the cooking and loads the dishwasher.

I will teach him about the stopcock on his 4th Birthday.

Always carbon rigid forks.

Right up there with people who correct your spelling on a internet forum.

Yes you are quicker up the fire road, your bike weighs a third less.

They normally add “yep, mud tyres in summer”, “look i wear plimsoles or “I was 50 yesterday can you believe it”

Spinning out is not a problem.

only true measure is riding with someone, everyone on this thread would struggle to average 15mph+ on my commute.

Hang on… how do you know, have you ridden with everyone here?

I know because I regularly get top 10s on the strava segments (many with 3000+ riders) on my commute and I very rarely average over 15mph. Traffic, road surface, junctions, students, traffic lights etc etc.. all kill fast speeds.

The Deore will be an easier setup with a expander, zee really needs a rad cage.

Wiggle not willing to price match

Anyone know any sites that price match? evans does not have these in stock.

Calmly ask him over and over again to do it until it is done. After 3 months it will be hell, but he needs to know you will never give up. Do the same the next day, by the end of the week it will not be a problem.
