Had to take my remote off for my stealth…..first instance of a hole being too small (etc)

Iolo – I am meeting my BiL and his family and the salt mines are on the list – esp if it rains… 😀

BiL is from Vienna….

Though not too sure on MTB places….

iolo – just trying to work out how far that is from Lofer, where we are staying….

Kaprun is 45mins away…..so very do-able….did you bike hire from Kaprun?

Bit more digging suggests no one seems to really know….

Some comments about the 63 to 66 being for FS bikes and 66 to 69 being for 29ers…..

I assume no-one of here sure either??

Not Hi-Jacking…..but no need for a new brake thread….

Any shouts for the Hope Tech 3 E4’s? Close to a purchase…..they look great!! But how do they perform?

I use Benadryl Plus – it has a decongestant……

Followed SRAM and Pink Bike top tips….have even done it on a std reverb before with no issues…..

Post extended – yes.

The way they are specific to the stealth, accounting for any variance in design, is amazing. Thanks.

I also like the way they advise you on retaining oil to try to avoid a bleed. So again, thanks.

Is there a youtube link for this?

They are building back orders this week………..apparently……been bugging them for a couple of weeks 😀

Rims arrived last Thursday……building wheels filling back orders since……end of the week if you/we are lucky……..

Have we considered that this is a made up story with the objective of seeking attention due to being bored?

Unless you can prove it is a warranty replacement – receipt etc…..

Rideworks – they are the future……

Agree – it is a people thing and not an activity thing.

Sherwood with the family today and plenty of nobbers hare-ing around over cross sections, going the wrong way on the trail and past the kids making them wobble (more)……

It is just people…..many are fools.

Poppy-cock. 😉

Jacobs is a great descent and the climb up to Mam is fine (in the dry).

Any which way….if you can do potato then Jacobs will be fine all rollable and if you keep to a speed you are comfy at then all bail-able or do-able on inspection…..

Watch the drop / steep roll right at the top. It is on the cusp of rollable…..IMO

Enjoy

PS Cavedale to by far and away the hardest descent that I have seen and done in Peak….

OK.

Had a weldite repair kit.

Used a patch – just bigger than rip.

If this fails…..any better kits?

Gonna be mud wherever you go…..its just about minimising it.

I would start in Hope…..but if from Fairholmes:

Up to Hagg Farm from car park just up from main FH car park
Down Hagg decent across to that BW you mentioned
Up that BW you mentioned
Down to Roman Road
Up to Hope Cross
Across and then down Potatoe Alley
Up lockerbrook farm climb
Down screaming…..
Done.

If not enough then would be tempted to fly down the roman road into hope then climb back up it.

The path was drying up on Sunday and was rideable just. Seems to have got steeper since the logging.

Dry all this week so far so I would say that it would be a good link up to the RR this weekend.

The BW down is a bit gloopy as are sections of the Hope Brink…..will take a while for these to dry up.

WLT will surely be a good route to avoid if you have trail survival in your DNA……

This could be a clever double bluff from Milky of course……..

Not done Glentress or Inners, no.

In a location where it is likely to be cold and wet as we go in November……..it is nice to stick to way marked trails…..that way you know where you are going and know you will be back on schedule…..

Usually ride the Peaks Trail Centres 😉

I am not blinkered C-al….I just like riding……

Mark

Or just don’t come if you don’t like it??

Hah – simplification? Or just a bad analogy? 😀 😉

Horas 2nd piccy does not look like it is at that South Head BW/path juntion…….but hey ho.

The black dotted line indicates path and not footpath though, right? So as it is not a red dotted line it goes under ‘fair game’ in my glossary of terms….

Hora – where is that second photo? Is it the footpath above the Rushups Edge BW??

That black dotted line is a good way to cut out a pretty ordinary part of the loop. Boggy first part but the slabby climb is quite good fun…….The relaid first third of the climb to Jacobs was fresh when I last did it and the bike just sunk into it. Not rideable for me.

I do like the ‘natural’ climb up otherwise but the first part makes it worth cutting out IMHO.

Other YHA’s?

A business called Rideworks have been doing this on a small scale for a while now…..think they are just developing a n/w ring….

…..do bash guards, hubs, etc at the mo….

google ’em (him)

Yikes – pricey….

Thanks for the comments.

Nothing that convinces me that there is nothing that he can do / has a right to….

Thanks though

Wear and tear, yes.

But if things don’t work……should they be sold as features that do work in a sales pitch?

Why pushing luck when it was not highlighted as an issue during purchase?

Also, that single issue is not the whole issue, is it……

He taken it back and the guys comments included….

‘its second hand, what do you expect?’ 😀

I had already given my mate a bit of ‘fit for purpose, you had said it all worked’ kind of comments to use….

My mate is now on hols for a week and the guy said ‘we will discuss it when you returns’…..though he did also say ‘we will see what we can do’. Car has been left at dealer.

Ah. Sorry. Not enough info.

Dealer just t’other side of Meadowhell……

I’m in.

Chatel on the Fri.

I processed 4 of us at 9am sharp…… 😀

Yep – will it sell out in seconds then??

My post did not read very well….

I am trying to convince him the On One is better….

I also told him to take less water if he was worried about the extra weight 🙂

Just some anecdote of gnarliness of steel would do 😀

Why buy this over a board man then?? Not for me.

Trying to convince a mate v a board man at 12kg with X5….

My feeling are Shimano is better (opinion) and this is cooler 😀

And another with my address this time 😀

Let me know if you need my mobile….. 😀

Email sent to info @ rivierabike co uk…..

Thanks again!!
