I’ve had a Pair of Exustar Keo’s since I got the bike 2 years ago and they’ve been fine, only started creaking now about 3500 miles later.
As for shoes I got A cheap pair of Giro’s off sport pursuit a while back, they seem to have shoes pretty regularly.

They are still trading, If you can’t get through ring Dalby bike barn. They Often have problems with phones over in the service centre.

Yep seems like I had the same feeling as the rest and I’ll just have to suck it up 🙄 . Wouldn’t be as annoyed if it wasn’t a “gold standard” lock!

I’m with ETA cycle insurance. Not had to use them yet. Competitively priced and also offer little things like paying for a taxi home if you’break down’ and accidental damage cover.

“You’ll have to speak up I’m wearing a towel”
Good for when answering the phone.

Bart: “Millhouse likes you”
Lisa:”Millhouse likes Vaseline on toast”

They are doing quite a lot of re-surfacing at the mo, haven’t ridden it for a bit

They are just renamed rubber queens.
I haven’t had chance to ride on mine (2.2, tubeless, black chilli) too much but I have been very pleased. Managed fine at a very sloppy FoD uplift day as well as slick trail centre stuff.
If you’re worried about pinch flats you could go for the Protection ones as they’ve got stiffer sidewalls.
On a final note-check out bike-discount.de for them, much cheaper than anywhere here even with £5 postage.

We’ve got a curry challenge in our squadron, Xacutti from Jamura in bath that they spice up for us, 7x hotter than a vindaloo they claim.
After completing it I had burning ears, face and pretty much all my insides. Then cue being woken in the night with crippling stomach pain.
Still, didn’t chunder like 50% of the people who tried it!

I just got a pair from crc with the discount codes in that other thread. Could only get 40/24 though

Singletraction are improving it bit by bit at the moment,
there may be some sections diverted due to re surfacing etc.
Swing by the shop-They’ll probably know what the craic is.

alright no worries, Just wasn’t sure as there were solid when new, Tar.

Cinelli Cork tape-so much nicer than my OEM giant stuff

I just pulled at mine with a hefty pair of pliers, then hit myself in the pliers once it came out, so don’t do that.

I’ll keep an eye out, Posted them on Uni cycling club for you.

Best: Orange Ms Isle (what can I say, I’m a fan of puns)

Well like I say send me an email and I’ll send over some GPX files. If you don’t have a gps you can look at them online

Ready salted crisps and strawberry yogurt.

I’m on 120mm floats and It doesn’t feel like I’ve got my head down really and haven’t wished for more travel yet.

If you give me an idea of length and type of riding you want I’ll send over a few GPX files (email in profile). I would say I would show you some stuff but I’m not back up until Easter unfortunately.
I would also recommend the Tuesday night ride at Dalby Bike Barn, a few groups, loads of fun and mostly off piste stuff. I think they are also going to start running some stuff from sutton bank later in the year so keep an eye on facebook

I was only there for 18hrs, but I would go out early in the day, I did it out of necessity but it was so nice to walk around the streets whilst they were empty.

Singletraction put something up the other day about Clixby’s doing a couple of weeks in Dalby, Offering pay too I believe.

Any Chance of getting this as a sticky thread Mods?

Whatever you do, don’t be tempted to tighten the external nut too much-I managed to pull a valve into the rim section doing that

Only a few have them in our club, I personally don’t and just accept it that others don’t. I found it makes little difference when its really wet anyway. Just consider it as motivation to sit on the front more 😀

I got some from bikediscount a few weeks ago-the protection ones though-seem to hold well enough-only ever used DH high rollers so don’t know how they’ll compare.
Why not stick with what you like?

Sounds close to muscle museum by muse

they seem sealed but I might bash a bit more air in and leave them for a few day, Cheers

I found Novatech very good-customer service is second to none

I find you can’t beat high rollers

Everyone I know that rode it couldn’t say enough good things about it!

5’10” medium with 70mm stem high saddle, High stack height – just right
(I’ve got long Legs/Short Back)

I love my havens – they’re very pretty. Not sure what rise you can get them in though

Fudge where did you find Tubeless barons?

Off the heat and run under a tap for 2 mins, then tap, roll and peel

I got mine pulled out then tapped out with a a hammer and a little steel block that blacksmiths use (not sure of the name)
Be careful not to snap the bead off. Also try a new tyre as the bead will be tighter

I’m on 120’s with a 70mm stem, just the right amount of front wheel pop.

Porridge oats with honey and maybe some rice

Ok well I guess that leads me on to the question of are there any running shops in Bristol that folks have had a good experience with?

I had exactly the same question a few months back (http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/hope-evo-levers).
I bought the race levers and have felt no need for the evo’s and no regrets since

I use DHB aeron race shorts and quite often put a pair of lycra liners (like rugby undershorts) underneath to stop rubbing-held up for days of up to 150 miles with no trouble
