Thanks for opinion Rocketdog, seem to be doing more XC races for fun and don't really want to add another bike especially, but wanted to make the PA a bit more rapid. By better with 120/130 i'm guessing you mean more fun?

+2 Sorted me out with a bunch of new spokes and a retrued rear wheel on John O Groats to Lands End last summer at the drop of a hat. Hardly had time for a cuppa and cake.

any more?

Thanks Orangista.
But you can buy a Maxle ready version can't you? Maybe that is what I read and it has confused me!

JUST GOT RIM TO SEAT AND INFLATED!! All with track pump. Maxxis advantage 2.25 and crossrides.
Mudt admit it was looking grim for a bit. CO2 didn't work then ran out…..
SO poured some neat washing up liquid in area around valves and bead, turned wheel so valve lowest. Attach track pump and WENT ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC! Lots of short quick pumps rather than long ones.

Finisterre all the way. But then I am from down their way

'2 hours in paris' Isn't that a 'film' of a certain genre?

'Angry Man's Gates' Ho Ho, is best bit they built. Heard there may be a 'short technical skills loop' on the cards…..
[Apostrophe needed in Man's?]

I to love my trangia. But if you have budget and space, buy the gas attachment to make it really fly!…kinda makes it not so compact at all anymore, but you get all the windproof advantages of a trangia but with extremly quick boiling from the gas… I have also used the greenheat tins and prefer them to meths.

Only made it to Gawton once so far since getting my membership. HSD is great fun on a HT, but there is no way you'd get me down Suer Tavy or Egypt on a HT!

Stayed at Mankinholes YHA, near Todmorden on JOGLE this summer. Great YHA and not that I have ridden MTB there, but there is good riding near there.

Ilam hall near Ashbourne was very impressive too.

I'm happy with my Luu's. Been riding with a mate who has Hope Vision 4's and compared to the Luu light I have, ok there is a slight beam width issue, but the light outputs appear pretty much the same. Maybe a slightly different colour of light to the Hopes [?]. But the burn time is great, i'm not the one having to constantly switch between power settings to get me home on a 2-3 hour ride….

I have a LUU light [with medium spread lense fitted] and when comparing it to my friends Hope Vision 4 on a recent ride from Princetown last week it seemed to equal that for spread and throw. Better battery life to , the LED technology used is a little lost on me, but £100 cheaper than the Hope i'm not complaining.

Slugwash, I work down by Malt Mill – occasionally ride in or home to Plymouth. But moving to Buckfastleigh soon so a much more practical commute!

Fat-M-H, what nights,what time, Tues and Thurs? May well join you soon before I move to Buckfastleigh.

Slugwash – I work in Totnes, must be a little bit of riding around Totnes?

Trailmonkey, could do with being shown around a bit by you guys! Have ridden a fair bit on the moor, but need some new routes. Live in Plymouth but moving to Buckfastleigh soon, where are you guys based?

Remember going into Halfords aged about 12 and wanting one of those……

Black and silver – good look!

Do XT come with an adapter for 20mm maxle or 15QR? Is one available?

Let us know if you can get down in a one-er….I went over the bars a few weeks ago!

So it would seem like Haldon is riding ok at the moment then?
Haven’t ben up there since before xmas.
