Have a look at my classifieds ad, it could be of interest. Otherwise my experience of their wheels is they need tensioning a few times to get them right.

My shoulder by going sideways into a tree. Oh and my xtr brake lever 🙁

3 years is good in my opinion! I used to change my bmx chan every 6 months to be safe. Some went before that..

I’ve got a lovely devinci Wilson for sale… 1200 for the full bike… bargain! 🙂

Emily portman is amazing… listen to ‘stick stock’ and a song called ‘dear Julia’ by Lucy ward is anothervfave

Has anyone been up there recently? What kind of conditiion is it in?

Looks great. In my experience chain devices always need a bit of bodging, and the granny ring tabs always end up going…

Across headsets are very very good quality and value. Look them up on the net, then search for mountain mania in tring as they are the importers. I dont work for them, Ive just had a few headsets, an never even needed to touch them.

I just saw it and loved it. Especially the bit with the aliens…

id just scratch a trail in and ride it, see what happens, then maybe do some more involved work. its worked for me

what do youlot think of the new track? i cant think how to describe where it is, but it starts with a drop over a log…

oops, sunday

sorry i forgot to say, its jst going to be a front tyre, as i i love the ardent that i have on the back, as its fast rolling and grippy.

Im tempted by the single ply minions, but i?ve been told they are still really heavy? Maybe i should the weights.

trying to persuade myself to go to the pub, but really cant be bothered.

the deore brakes are excellent

the only reason to get the slx or xts is weight/ shinyness

I’ve been to fix 2 lights so Dar, and on my wy to the next. Fun fun fun

well, im on call and the family are all away so i will be either riding or trail building on christmas and boxing day. I just hope i don’t actually have to do any callouts.

get an electrician to do it…

Im actually really enjoying riding this winter, but as above, its the getting out after work, in the light that im missing

chain reaction have loads of spares.

in terms of kicking someone in the nuts, if someone is trying to hurt me, i dont care what i have to do to stop them. Anything goes. I haven’t even thrown a punch at someone for about 10 years though.

The only time i’ve really lost it was seeing the girl who’d broke up with me a week before, being very ‘friendly’ with another bloke. If my best mate hadn’t been there to drag me away it might have got ugly 🙁

cheers, I think i’m gonna give it a go! so why 15mm off if you were lowering them by 20 mm?

Also, where is the best place for buying the spacers? And how does shortening the spring affect the spring rate, eg make it softer or harder?

Thatsounds like alot of hassle, having to cut spring. If I only wanted to reduce it by 20/ 30mm, woul i be able to do it without cutting the spring?

dont forget rvolution bike bike which is quite near. Absolutly brilliant tracks and uplift service, although it does look a touch more techy that stiniog. ( ive not been there though)

i found that article very boring. Just ride whatever bike you like. Some people like me are lucky enough to have multiple bikes for different types of riding, some aren’t.

This looks great, its just a shame about the no 20 inch wheels rule. Is there pre entry available?

Vertical, with a 74.5 head angle is the steepest I’ve tackled.

nah, a zesty will be fine.

Can you get a mount to turn them onto a headtorch?

Should that be available today?

id just buy a trek, they are amazing bikes.

Has anyone got anything for an electrician? Looking for a career change, and the renew!ble energy sector is of particular interest

i use a 32 tooth and find its fine,but then i tend to ride tight techy tracks, rather than fast open stuff. I cant see it being an issue at all though, and think its worth it for the benifit on climbs

i scratched my leg on my pedals today:-(

Where is it and what is it like?

if you put one in the loft, there are regulations about what type of fans you can use etc. Its often easier to put a fan in the window

They are great bikes , what are you planning to use it for?

this just reminds me why i gave up road cycling…

I ride it yesterday, it was a lot of fun, everything is rollable or has an alternative that is. It should also hold up fine in the wet.
