stevomcd, thats along the lines i was planning, need to figure out a route, i know there will be days without uplifts, but i will use them where possible.

What distance were you covering a day?

Evening bump

Well it doesn't hve to be the matterhorn, but for the time being until i tie down a route then anything goes just ending up in morzine is good because i'll be meeting mates with my stuff and my dh bike.

I have never done anything like this before, except the d of e bit because that was overlookd by our teachers.

I keep reading in magazines about these epic rides, and decided why not, with enough preperation I should be able to do it.

lol

Just commited to buying an ibis tranny, a nicolai ion st, and a whole range of other things 😯

mudmonster – makes a change from being 2 minutes early 😆

Glad your ok mrs oxnop and back on the bike soon,

where you off on holiday?

It WILL make you faster*

(* there is no scientific proof to back this up)

New 2011 fox 36 floats. Can not believe how good they are.

Wider bars, don't knck it untill you have tried it, especially if your a wide bloke.

1x 10 spd

Lighter cranks.

I'm going to stick 1 x 10spd on my new hardtail.

I'm unfit so i'll run a 32 front ring then an 11-36 cassette at the back. thinking of xt cassette and mech, xtr shifters and cranks.

Have you asked her if she wants to go?

If you don't want to go to a&e perhaps you could see if there is a walk in centre.
Usually if I don't suspect a brake I leave it for a day or two, and if it has not improved with painkillers and r&r then I either go to the walk in or a&e

However sometimes it does get gradually worse over the next couple of hours then I go to a&e

well done gee!!!!!!!!!!

Depends, if your plannning to sell you other disc brakes, they will be easier to sell as a whole set.

gordimhor, do you always live in the past?

msc up in the pints. good race for him

spitting on the formation lap

LOL

It is expensive but you can get a little discount if you look around. Still not going to be cheap though!

Sweet, cheers, for that, i was looking at running a lowered 36, but i'll just get 120mm 831s.

1x10spd xtr and the xtr trail braes, should be a beast.

The royal society of medicine, (if thats what it's called) do 1-2-3 day courses, which apparently are good to go on, is their anyway to pre pay for these?

Yes, the link refers to an old edition, obviously I'll get the 2010 version

Well, we've just purchased the Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope, we have the kumar and clarks book, and looking for the clinical med hand book, but just want to check that it's this one.

The gspot is great for the downs, people ride em all over the place, but I found it too heavy for a 6inch bike, also because the suspension pivots around the bb then you get loads of bob.

So it's a heavy strong super plush sorted bike, too heavy and inefficiennt to tide up hill, so great for what you say your going to use it for.

However, if your only going to use it for uplifts, push up dh, and the alps then why not buy a proper big bike?

I loved it, but wouldn't buy another.
