    What do you expect for £40.
    Why didn't you move the night you moved in if you didn't like it?
    Did you express your concerns to them?
    Or do you rather bad mouth them on an internet forum where they have no right to reply?

    I've used crank bros pedals for many years. I much prefer the feel of them to spd. They've been fine apart from some mallets I broke on a rock (to be fair I doubt any pedal would have survived the impact).
    They were repaired under warranty by 2pure immediately.
    I have nothing but praise for the pedals.
    I do agree that the pumps I've used have been poor.

    Maybe its me but I think Penmachno is over rated. I know many rave about it but there's many a trail in the area that's as good or better. And yes, I know the area well as I'm a local.

    Why the hell did you use the fork at all.
    I cant understand why you did not contact the seller immediately as that fork is obviously a death trap.
    Did the crown race fit when you put them on the bike?Probably not.

    Frame only plus cranks and a few bits.
    £1500 second hand is not an unreasonable price.
    I'm not sure how you get to £4k.

    I did the first uplift here and have booked onto the next.
    A fantastic new track but is very tough on bikes.

    The majority of the tipping was done at night and the only reason I found out was driving past my site and seeing light on and thinking "what the hell are they doing there?".
    As soon as I knew what was going on I called my gaffer.

    They told me to go to my accommodation, leave my company vehicle there and find my own way home (200 miles). I ignored this and drove home.I told them their vehicle would be at my house for collection. How do I stand with this. Am I going to expect the police?

    I have had no previous disciplinary at all. No warnings or disciplinary procedures and was PAYE. I've been with the company 4 months. I got escorted from the site and probably won't get back there. Unfortunately I have no photos.

    Went for a walk. These are 10 mins from my house.

    I live 5 mins by car from Coed y Brenin so you can guess the conditions there.

    Coed y brenin was a bit icy but fine today.
    I rode Dragons Back with very little ice.
    I'm off to ride the Marin tomorrow.
    It's snowing a little here in north Wales but I'm sure it will be fine.

    There's heavy snow at coed y brenin tonight so I would imaging the horse shoe pass will be far worse.
    That road was shut yesterday for a while and I imaging it will be again tomorrow.

    You did well not to reply Manwells.

    Coed y Brenin will be fine today.The sun is shining and snow melting in my garden which is only 3 miles away from the visitor center.
    There was no major ice yesterday when I went for a walk along some of the MBR.
    Enjoy.

    I went round the MBR, Coed y Brenin.
    it was bloody hard work with all the snow but well worth it.

    The welsh alphabet is entirely phonetic.
    As such once you know the sound of the letter it's easy.
    There's none of this altering letter's depending on the spelling eg the c sounds completely different in source to what it does in cart.
    Welsh is a far easier language to read and write as the letters follow the sound of the word.

    Also interested.
    I've seen this.
    Seems a good spec.
    Any others around that price and spec?

    I'm quite surprised the OP still has teeth left after verbally abusing an innocent bystander who happened to have a BMW.
    Go to Blaenau Ffestiniog tonight and call someone there a fanny.
    Who cares what the car was that kind of attitude will get you hurt.

    160mm forks will be fine.
    I did the Dyfi enduro on it and loved it.
    I've launched it at the jump spot, ragged it down DH tracks and is one of the most versatile bikes I ever owned.
    I regret selling it and will get another soon.

    I's not brake or power steering fluid as they're a different colour.
    It could possibly be AC. I can't see a header tank for AC fluid? Is there anyway of checking?

    I do this every year.
    I only do it as it's for the Welsh Air Ambulance.
    I don't declare to be fit but manage to complete it.
    It's well organised and fun (in a sick kind of way).

    I have ridden the Coed Y Brenin trails when they were original, and would like to try something similar, but have heard that they are not up to the previous standard. (a bit sanitised)

    Here's a crazy idea, go and ride Coed y Brenin and find out for yourself.
    It's really not that bad.

    I have come across walkers many times at cyb, marin and penmachno.
    I very nearly rode into 2 pensioners sat on a deckchair on the last descent of the marin last year. When I stopped to tell them they were on a mountain bike route they told me to f@ck off.Then they generally became abusive and threatening. I lost the head, saw rage threatened to rip his head of etc.
    Then realised hitting 70 year olds was not the best thing to do.
    I called the excuse of a mountain bike ranger they had at the time (now replaced thank god)to report it and nothing more came of it.

    Hit a tree hard with my head though and have a bloody stiff neck.
    My Giro XEN in a bit dented. Time for a new one.
