    mrblobby, it does still happen but I think a venge looks far too different to a dogma for them to pull it off on such a high profile rider

    you will be fine, she won’t. tell her to go to magaluf or somewhere and enjoy the winter holiday with your mates. Or she could learn to ski which is much less traumatic to pick up

    the low volume car in question has 40 valves, two turbos, it does less than 20mpg and has tyres that cost £500 each with possibly ceramic discs that cost more than a blinged up santa cruz V10. Of course it costs a lot to run!
    Good trolling 😀

    I’m the organiser for the Herne Hill race and I’ll have a chat with the comm about allowing bottle hand-ups. I’m sure they will be allowed and in line with the UCI regs, likely from the pits only.

    I didn’t glue my file treads on cos the august crap weather but at least it’ll be nice to race needing suntan cream! Last year was blinking hot too

    TT in the olympics?

    EDIT: quick google says it is, didn’t realise, guess that’s what he’s referring to.

    wannabe racer in only knowing about le tour and worlds shocker! 😆

    @uplink yeah, but it’s still pretty flipping boring.

    I hate the tunnel, when you have a loooong journey ahead, the last thing you want is yet more time sat in the same position.

    try ferrysavers.com I use them a lot and get very cheap crossings. Last year it was £70 return for a car +5 with a roof rack for the megavalanche week.

    Just hope whitedown doesn’t go the same way – and we certainly dont need anymore advertising of trails etc

    you’ve changed your tune!

    Dorking west jumpspot is your best bet. Its an old (ie a bit worn) BMX/4X area with lots of tabletops and a few roller doubles. We often go there when my sister wants a bit of jump practice before heading out to pitch etc via ranmore and holmbury.

    the picture is at Dorking west which is where tonyg2003 is talking about.

    they’re gonna need to do a LOT of work to do a DH race there. Ranmore however….

    they shouldn’t go pop, but they will puncture VERY easily if you ride offroad.

    I think all frames should have a plain 1.5 headtube and let the consumer choose the fork and stem type. I’d even have a 1.5 on my road bike to really stiffen the front end up in sprints. I don’t really see the disadvantages of not using 1.5 except for the aesthetics on steel frames.

    I’m one of the organisers of tonight’s Herne Hill race and the London League on the 2nd. You will be fine on an MTB. It’s quite rocky/rubbley for a cross course and MTBs have won there in the past.

    Muddy Hell has a go-cross race which in the past must have had at least 50% MTBs

    the things that bikes hang from by their saddles? The one at herne hill velodrome is made from scaffold tubes

    thought there’d be a more positive response given the amount of C2W CX bikes floating around that London and the no. of posters on threads about cross brakes, tyres etc. Not gnar or niche enough for the STW massiv perhaps?

    Why don’t the cycle mags ever run anything like this?

    they do. there was DHer v moto trials v moto enduro article in an MTB mag. Forgotten all the details though!

    I reckon the R1. I know the tour riders corner quick than the press bikes but some “welsh bloke” ain’t Cancellara and an R1 is going to be loads quicker than a fully loaded up press bike

    I didn’t say moto whips were impossible, I said tail whips are. Very very very different

    arrgh! TAILwhips are impossible on DH bikes, so stop calling them that!

    This is a tailwhip:

    As mentioned above, most cross bikes are sold to non racers so the market must be pretty large though I still think the development will be (pro) racer led.
    I don’t agree with the old adage that you don’t need good brakes for cross, especially with all the dead turns and such on modern courses, I see plenty of overtakes by out-braking. In the dry cantis can be set up well enough to be sufficient and keep weight down but in the wet discs would really come into their own, especially with carbon rims. I would be very surprised if we don’t see some pros on proto disc set-ups for a few races this year. Di2 hydros would be ace but perhaps that market is too small?

    I am sure I just don’t know where 😛

    I think breaking the drive up appeals most, but I know Exmoor way is an option too

    Cheers all, that’s given me some food for thought.

    I had actually thought about tunnel hill J, but I’m sure there’s better riding en route!

    I’m not asking for cheeky jumps and gaps, just good legal trails!

    I understand what you guys are saying about its not as if 100000 people will be uplifting flytippers over the weekend but it only takes one ranger/landowner to knock it down. It’s not as if Tattoo Dave’s creations are known for being allowed to stand. I don’t think a bit of discretion is that hard to give it a chance of being enjoyed for longer, especially given that the OP can’t even ride it…

    Good one. Now it’s been shouted about on a very popular public forum, tenner says it’ll be gone soon

    hiterite also came from a time when seatposts only extended out of the frame a few inches. It would be a hell of a reach down on most modern sloping TT frames.

    Ah’m ooout

    the tramapoline would stretch too far and hit the ground so can be ignored in calculation
