Easter time is usually pretty good up here, there will probably still be snow up here this Easter though!

The track from Deanich lodge is old tarmac just like the section from Kildermorie down to Glen Calvie lodge, again you will be fine with your tourer.

Hmm im running a new style Hope 30mm and to start with the post a 27.2 Raceface Evolve kept sliding down so instead of raxxing the clamp up tighter i used some Pace carbon grease that i have and voila it doesn't slip anymore with the clamp still at the original position/ clamping force. I now use the Pace carbon grease on all my alloy seatposts ;o)

Hi Terry

Give us a shout and myself and Ewan can show you our finest trails with or without your missus. What is she doing in the schools?

Doug Very tactical ;o)

Gordymac

Aye sounds like it 😆

Is it a DW 5spot?

Gordymac

According to Keith Bontrager Strong-Light-Cheap- Pick any two. And so far in my 20 years of mountain biking he has been right!

If 2010 rockshox are extortionate what does that make Dt swiss?

Gordymac 😉

I've been on Giro helmets for 15 years now, but they don't make them like the used to. The quality and finish is much poorer now which has led me to consider a different make. So you reckon i won't be dissappointed if i bought a Kaos ul?

Gordymac

Doug

Wait until you get home here and come out on a night ride with us, 10degrees is tropical 😆

Fyrish?

We ride on Tuesday nights if you take your lights with you.

First time over at the End 2 End and i managed 3hrs 49min which placed me 85th overall and a pleasant surprise of 29th in the 30-39 age group.

Great course and organisation, well marshalled, plenty of food on offer and fantastic weather, what more can a mountain biker ask for in an event.

Thanks and well done to the Manx mtb crew.

Is anyone staying on the Sunday night? We are so we can have a few beers, getting the first ferry back to Heysham on the Monday morning.

How about a course conditions report after the Manx riders have finished their ride this Sunday(Although i have already decided that the trailrakers are going on!)

Don't know who is importing it yet but there must be someone doing so for it to end up here.

Can any of the St guys shed any light on an importer?

Hi Paul

Don't know how i missed this thread, been pretty busy lately!

good to meet you too and next time you fancy a trip up North give us a shout and we can meet up for a cycle on some of our finest trails.

Gordymac
Fyrishbikes.com

Thanks terry, Doug.

We can be found here. We are not that quick it just we like to ride hard!

Give us a shout anytime once you are up, it would be easy to meet up as one of our lads lives in the Muir.

Here from Petra cycles

Gordymac

Have a look here at the Exploded diagram.
Then put the part number into Petra cycles[/url]

Hopefully you will find what you are looking for.

Gordymac

The very part right here from Petra cycles.

Nice one Rob it brings back memories, although i don't remember the drops to the side being so severe, i must have been concentrating on the trail! Hope to get back out there next year ;o)

Gordymac

Yep as Alek has already said we will be there, Five of us travelling down to fly the Fyrish-Scottish flag ;o)

Gordymac

Ok ok im going to stick with it ;o)

How about some Italian bling?[/url]

Hutchinson Toro Enduro 2.35. Sizes up the same as Maxxis 2.35s available in tubed or tubeless. Just put one on the rear of my Turner and im very impressed so far.

I recently got a Black guard from Dark cycles in BC. Does the job, looks good and delivered to the UK without duty in a week.

Gordymac

Thank you, delighted about that one, there was some good competition and the heat was incredible for racing in yet again!

Ah i was going to suggest Ashima sos for the best of both worlds but they don’t make them for hopes.

Nice one, things going good out there?

What brakes do you have?

Fat bloater 😆

Two reasons i went for the classic, one it is cheaper and two it has better cable routing imo. You will get used to the bum tap after a few rides then you will never look back. I got the 1/3″ drop thinking along the same lines that you are and it is fantastic, what a difference it makes to your riding and descending 😉

Gordymac

Aye Ek

Just feel as though i need something with a wee bit more grip than the crossmark. Ordered a 2.35 Toro to try it, so i will let you know how i get on with it and what Hutchinson sizing is like.
