can’t wait to see what Froome can do when they let him off the lead in the mountains.
Hopefully bugger all. He showed a lack of respect to Wiggins during the tour and with little comments like the one in the OP’s article. And his girlfriend is a tool.

Exactly this. Too many similarities to Andy Schleck. Hope he redeems himself by riding well and with respect for others in the Vuelta.

Brant – will full builds with CCDB be available?

thought that they would keep those in stock, mine’s on the way out on a classic XC hub 🙁

cheers guys, good info about the YT’s – seem pretty good all round. Only just noticed this brand, will have to investigate further.

how close is the YT to a Lapierre?

I’d like to echo what stevewhyte above says, plus a recommendation for primary. Obviously each to their own, but it’s great to have a class of enthusiastic children ready to learn and have fun learning – seems to rarer to have this at secondary level.

I’d recommend contacting local primary and secondary schools and asking to go in and help out, if you’re serious about retraining you’ll need as much of this type of experience as possible – ideally you’d be able to work unpaid as a teaching assistant for a term… (yeah, I know…)

lovely bike – nice build too. What dogbert said.

Cheers Chris for organising a great ride, was good fun meeting people, riding great trails and learning to ride tilted to the side at 45 degrees while the wind tries to push you over!

I’m in! Team Bluebell has just cursed five rider’s world cup seasons by choosing them…

Rode it yesterday and it was still pretty icy/snowy on top, that gully seems to have held onto all the ice and snow.
Some sections were faster as the deep puddles were iced over, some sections were unrideable due to sheet ice… Other bits were muddy as per usual at this time of year.

Still great fun and about the normal ammount of dabs/falling off. Mild weather today may well have changed all this though.

get some of this:

Looks a mess once it’s on, but will do the job.
Make a patch out of fabric/rubber? and slather loads of this stuff on, inside and out – it’s great.

I’m in too. Can offer lift from Sheffield

Got the burgtec ones to go on my heckler, really made it perfect. I think I appreciate the lower BB more than the slackened head angle, but whatever it is the bike feels great 🙂
Can’t comment on longevity yet as it has only been a month and a bit’s worth of riding.

cheers for that! 🙂

I have been doing this http://www.tftunedshox.com/cleaningyoursuspension.aspx
when I can be arsed after rides, seems to work really well. A little bit of oil (I just use chain lube) seems to go a long way to making them smoother for the next ride. If you try it tonight, leaving a bit of oil to seep down through the seal it may work for tomorrow

Saints from CRC 114.95 – dunno if they’ve still got both front and rear in stock though

I’ve got a pair and no issues here. Great fork. I guess it’s still early days though, about 40 hours riding time?

gracias 😀

not good. Lot of hassle. Were they UK sellers?

My experience of it was ok, used it twice for buying from UK sellers
