I’ve booked a week on a back country explorer course with mcnair snowboarding in Jan at sainte foy. Last time.e I was at the resort was about 20 years ago
Anyone on here used mcnair snowboarding for a trip?

Cheers

Hope for me

Once the bearings go after several years of use drift them out using a socket and press the new ones in using a vice.

Go to yer local bearing supplier for quality replacement bearings

Simples , no fancy tools or skills for that matter required

I own 2 McNair shirts one heavyweight and one mid weight they are pricey but by far the best garment I own
Not much use for riding I’d imagine

Thanks for that is there much off piste stuff in amongst the trail centre stuff then?

Currently on 12speed slx with 12 speed sunrace cassette
Came as standard on my orbea occam no issues at all shifting is sweet and noticeably smoother and less noisy than all my mates who run sram
(And are jealous of my shimano set up)

Anyone been to Zell am see?
Going for a week in feb boarding
Also anyone used drsno for a days guided off piste?

5.10 guide tennie for me . First pair coming up to it’s 3rd winter by no means waterproof but a hell of an improvement from teva links high tops
Wear with either merino socks or sealskinz never had cold feet…

Hello,
Im off to Zell Am See in feb for a week. Anyone been and how would you rate it for boarding? Is it possible to get over and back to Leogang from there I understand a new lift/piste was going in. also any recommendations for a guide for some off piste if possible…
Cheers Graeme

Cheers, will mostly be riding quantocks and the odd uplift / bike park day . The airdrop seems extremely good value compared to the cotic just wondering if there would be a significant weight difference, love the look of the cotic though. Good shout about the bird , and they are reasonably close by to get one to demo

mcnair mountain shirt

deoends how deep your pockets are not cheap but I love mine not quite waterproof however but certainly smart enough for most outings

can be worn for winter sports as well

Cheers

touch up paint it is then got some of that kicking around 👍

Genesis vagabond

Only because I’ve got one and I love it👍

cheers dead womens ditch sounds like the spot

I’ve had mine for around 6 months now.awesome bike as capable on road as off road.i run 2.1 tyres on mine and I don’t feel restricted on road.great bike for bike packing and razzing around on singletrack and bridleways.i replaces the bar end shifters and cable discs with some SRAM apex off previous bike personal choice.stock wheels and crankset bit Lardy but what do you expect for the price.all in all great bike which is ripe for upgrades as you go along.and it’s steel. It’s basically a poor mans fargo

buy one . It’s the bike I ride most now…

Cheers for the info guys👍

Time to dig out the full face I reckon…

Im 5″11 and I got a large. Swapped the stock stem for a 70mm I had in the spares box and swopped the barend shifters to sram apex. Absolutely love it most ridden bike at the moment stock wheels are crap but got to expect it at that price. Perfect gravel/bivvy bike

Genesis vagabond, slightly overprice at £1100
Extremely robust and super comfy
Absolutely love it…

Cheers guys
That’s my next purchase sorted then!

Mine are the standard tennies and as for sizing they come up normal imo

another one for 5.10 tennies just got another pair in the sale hold up well in the wet and grippy as hell. way better than the tevas ive been wearing

Hello anyone been to isola 2000 we are going half term next month just wondering if anyone has any views on the place and also any recommendations for airport transfers from nice
Thanks in advance Graeme

Drug dealer who had firearm in his vehicle was shot during a planned operation.Big boys games have big boys rules springs to mind.
If criminals are prepared to go onto the streets of this country in possession of a firearm then there are consequences.
And then a bunch of morons use it as an excuse to kick up a stink and play the race card. Nothing to do with race. If he didn’t have a gun in his vehicle he wouldn’t have been shot.Period.

Great place to ride best in the area in my opinion. Some new trails been cut in since it got de forested wellworth a visit

As above purbecks great for xc/longer rides. Puddletown best riding in the area more techy/gravity focused. Wareham has loads of cheeky trails just a case of finding them.

Loads of cheeky trails in wareham forest.not much elevation but they make the best of them.plenty of Singletrack to be had and loads of fun.puddletown well worth a visit lots of good descents roots and off camber with the odd jump and then just winch back up on the fire roads.some big stuff there as well.

Another vote for clearview..expensive but worth every penny.love mine..

I snapped one on mine on the wast strap.quick e mail with a couple of snaps of buckle and they posted one out got it a couple of days later.no charge.excellent service I’ll continue to use their bags…

Exposure all the way for me. I have a toro and joystick. The toro used weely on night ride and the joystick in almost constant use for commuting due to working a crazy shift pattern. One issue with the joystick which was sorted for free very quickly. customer service has been great for me all my riding mates use exposure as well highly recommended. Expensive yes but you get what you pay for. I had a cheapo chines light prior but reliability was just not good enough.

Cheers guys time to roll up the sleeves!
