    On a Shimano setup the 2×10 mech works with the 2×11, so I would think it works the other way as well.

    Scottish borders and Central Scotland trails for me, probably last about 3 to 6 months. Back ones usually wear out first.
    I did wear a set out in one loop of Dalby once, Shimano resin ones.

    I love my Muck Boots but my Le Chameau wellies were the dogs danglies.
    Lasted ten years and only died because the rubber got old and cracked,I would have a new pair but the model I had is about £180 now 8O .
    The Muck Boots must be 7 or 8 years old now and still going strong but they haven’t had as much use as my Le Chameau.

    I recommend finding a good shooting/ fishing/ country store and trying different ones on.

    Watching that I just remembered I was allowed on to the flight deck of a Vulcan when I was a kid, I just can’t remember where it was.

    I’ve a MKII ST4 and it really is great, just a pity Orange didn’t keep upgrading it alongside the Five.
    I’ve an Alpine Five 29er now and love it bit I still like taking the ST4 out for a play, it still a very capable bike.

    Offer is about right for rifle and you’d probably get about £60-80 for the pump.
    The shop price is probably not far off the mark for repairs, it’d probably end up at about the £130 mark. I’d probably charge one of my shops about £60 and if it doesn’t need a filling valve about £40 and I warranty them for a year.
    It just depends on what you find when you take them apart.

    I repair airguns for a couple of shops and I was going to value it at what bear-uk has offered, maybe a bit more depending on what Simmons scope it is.

    Me, fatty on a Alpine Five in orange.
    Tyre choice is what I have on, Magic Mary/ Nobby Nic as most of the stages are slippy, muddy, rooty things.

    I quite like sitting at the back and giving slower riders a big head start and then trying to chase them down, improves my riding as I have to concentrate on riding properly..
    It is usually social rides anyway so I’m not bothered about being held up.
    This weekend I’m being a enduroista so I’ll be trying to get out of my comfort zone and crashing all day :lol:, trying to not let the rider behind catch me :lol:.

    Yes those are the nuts, you should have some with the shifters, if they’re new.

    You need the little square nut, it drops down inside the shifter and then you bolt the shifter to that.

    Well worth traveling to.
    It’s only short because it’s a well laid out course in a compact area, keeping the transitions short.

    Must be at least 1 km, it feels like that in my head it’s probably just 200m :lol: .

    Oh there’s a couple of little car parks around Reid park and from there head up to the top right of the park and head up to the tower.
    First little trail starts at the tower.

    That’s right, easy to find less easy to make them flow as Phil H said it’s a rabbit warren of trails.
    You’ll be fine though it’s small enough that you’ll work it out pretty quickly.
    The trails evolve quite a lot from visit to visit though with the digging that goes on.

    They’re easy to find on the hill, not quite so easy to navigate.
    Great trails, just watch out for some of the bigger features.

    I was sorry to hear about Stevie, it’s a great loss to the community.
    He was always happy to chat and pass the time of day with you.

    I’ve just let some of your neighbours know Mcmoonter, they’re keeping an eye out as well now.
    Seemingly there’s been quite a few dodgy characters around your area lately.

    I pretty much wear them all the time after having a few bad falls.
    I fell off on the climb at Laggan about three weeks ago and bruised my kneecap through my pads, hate to think what the pain would have been like without them.

    Well Fort Bill was a bust, it was to windy for bikes on the gondola so we headed back along the road to Laggan.
    Had a great ride with just a little OTB into a puddle, which was better than last weeks fall into a burn
