Fatter 26″ ones fit just fine in most 29er tyres.

Try blowing one up without putting it in the tyre and see if it stops at 26″, if it doesn’t it will fit a 29er fine

After a chat on our club forum and the thought that time slots of 15 minutes apart are too far apart I’ve made the following rule change.

So rule 1a is now – If anyone donates £20 (or more) their 4 (or more) time slots can be no closer than 7 miunutes apart.

Thanks again for your generosity as I know how tight things are.

£195 in the first day is great, time slots are still available and a couple of begging letters for bike freebies for the winners pot have gone out.

Sorry, was having dinner. iFad not letting me book slots so will do it on the desktop later. Shouldn’t you be turbo training or something? Cheers

Only I can edit the form, please email me your numbered time slots.

And if I was training I wouldn’t sell many higher timed time slots would I, or am I training????

Don’t forget to avoid block booking please keep your time slots 15 minutes apart, but for you Lactic with your donation I’ll cut that down to 7-8 minutes apart.

Thanks again to you all

Anyone know how to contact Lactic?

Lactic you’re a star.

Please email me the 10 time slots you want to

good lord, it’s a single speed event! turn with a bike, ride, have fun, meet new people, go home, get over hangover and repeat for the next one. You give singlespeeders a bad name

Best post of the day award

Like you I bagged a few KOM’s when only 3 or 4 riders had ridden the trails before me, and like mine I guess the 2nd place person set up the segments and the other 2 didn’t even know there where riding a segmant.

Well done for beating the other rider….

Get the Mini Countryman as you first thought.

I had Civic D (now a Countryman Cooper D) and it wasn’t as ecomonical as the book said (they never are), if the seats fold up like the last one they are great for meduim framed bikes without the front wheels but nothing bigger.
Also don’t got for bigger than the basic alloy wheels as it was the most unconfortable car I’ve ever owned/driven.

Self build anything you like or get your LBS to build your dream bike.

You’re right Park Run is ace but I can’t beat that (20.20)

We’re still looking for someone.

22.38 for me

Shrink wrap, cellophane???

Seroiusly Ton, well done and don’t worry it should shrink back if the weight stays off.

The trails are open, if you’ve got the right equipment.

This shot was taken this morning (Thursday) at the top of the first climb.

Put it in 6th gear and line up the yellow dots on the hub.
Worked for me

Staying local, I drive enough during the week and I don’t want to get stuck in Bank Holiday traffic

Anyone been out this weekend?

A cloudy but dry Clocaenog Forest bivi ride over Friday/Saturday

Google are at it as well

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Sold out already

Don’t forget this next time The Apprentise is on TV

I’ve got the Cooper D Countryman, rear seats slide forward and backward to help, room in the back for the dog (border terrier) on a raised home made shelf and room for luggage underneath.

Removable towbar fitted for bike rack

Very nippy and cruises at top speed very well, although I can’t get much more than 44mpg out of it but it’s a company car and fuels provided so I don’t worry about that.

Tazzy forget my order for a silver one please, I’ve got a plan B

Tazzy – If you can get one in silver at the same price I’ll take a 34t one please. email in profile

RD – I know, maybe next time.

Tazzy, Are these in Silver or Black or something else?

hi there,
really like the look of a fat front, are you riding them because of the ability to ride in soft areas, or / and because the suspension the huge air volume provide?

how much slower are they on the flats and up hill??

Forget it for snow and sand fat fronts are fine but normal rear wheels will just sink in, get a full fat bike for snow or sand not a half fat.

Good to see you Rich and I might take you up on your offer of a north lakes ride.

Has anyone seen any of the photos yet as there were at least 6 snappers on the course?

Cheers takisawa2

You recon they’d have Hope pads in stock?

Normal Larry would be fine, BFL wouldn’t be any different with those rims.

I used normal Larry on a 50mm rim this weekend and although the normal WTB tyre of the back was slip sliding on the wet lakeland slate the Fat Larry on the front stuck like sh!t to a stick

and out of interest what sort of times did people put in?

2hr 56mins 14secs on a fat front Single Speed.

111th out of about 600

I’ll be SS’ing it for some sadistic reason, heading up tonight and camping locally.

See you in the morning don’t forget to alter your clocks or you’ll be late

From my experience of my Alfine 11
It’s heavier on the back end but not that bad.
But it’s gearing is the same as the 3×10 but withour the granny ring.
So if you ride big hills run a smaller cog on the back but if you ride flat trails go bigger and go for it

I ride bike, I have dogs, I wouldn’t trust a stranger giving my dog a “treat”. Please don’t do it

Cheers joat.
Just 3 questions
1) It’s been a while, where is the trail head car park
2) Is it free is the car park after 5pm?
3) What time does it get locked?
