A wet, gritty, muddy slog in the sun around Wareham for 2 1/2 hours – loved it

+ another for Jedi – you won’t regret it

@wwaswas – things like intervals, zoned riding, hill climbing (ascent) etc

boing?

That looks dry compared to the mud round these parts………..

Thought you were going to say “mojo” as it was lost last time I was there in the freeride park and had a bit of a fall……….. 8O

You can also buy some of this Grippy Grip Gripper– it’s like Vaseline with sand in it.

Works a treat as I had the same problem on a Selcoff seatpost / Ti frame

Double bobbins on the fork front……………. :twisted:

Oooh, just re-read the post, shifter you say…………. 8O

More fibre?

That’s awesome

Bought some Tacx ones from my LBS that were cheaper – didn’t last any longer mind you!

diggerb – did they charge you for this or was it under warranty?

MidlandTrailquestsGraham – get it, you won’t look back. If you use a GPS or HRM it can also log this data.

snowpaul, like you I was going through huge amounts of spares, and wanted to ascertain best value for money products to handle type of riding I do – that’s why I ride an Alfine now!!!

100mm Tora’s on mine, no problems

Back on track and not wanting to comment on your desires for doing this – Sports Tracks will do it for you and can also track miles, rides, GPS routes etc should you want to.

I ride a 456 steel with an Alfine 8 hub and my expereince is pretty much the same as Saccades. I’m running a 20 tooth rear and 32 front ring, and spin out around 28kph on the road.

The bike / setup was bought as winter project to avoid the heavy maintenance schedule and costs associated. Have been running since early Sept, covered around 2000kms of which 80% has been offroad and apart from tyres and a couple of chain tensioners that’s all I’ve spent on it. Cleaned about twice.

Advantage of the 456 is that it’ll take a good range of forks, so when the summer comes, might put some lighter tyres and bigger fork on it and take it for a DH spin 8O

I’m 5ft 11 and a 56cm road bike is too small for me, and ride an 18″ MTB frame with a long (10cm) stem

Uhhhhh, mine are Vanilla’s for exactly that reason 8O

And chairlifts…. :lol:

Les 2 Alpes and Alp D’huez are also close and have strong MTB scenes – you could stay at Bourg-d’Oisans which is n the valley between the 2. Both excellent for XC and DH / freeride stuff

Uh……get some miles in – long steady distance stuff like Audaxes, build to within 80% of target mileage within a month or so of the event than tail off.

Ben_mw – wtf is that?

Overpriced and under made – some equally as good shorts out there that are a whole lot less IMHO. Santini, Campagnolo to name two.

Whilst I apprciate everybody’s bits are different the best thing is to try as many as possible and then deciding…….I guess

It’s looking horribly complicated – I only want to play DVD’s when I’m away and seems that taking a DVD drive for the laptop would be a whole lot simpler……..

Sealant very unpredictable IMHO – when I take a tyre off and see all the mangled up sealant then Its clearly worked somewhere, but for punctures that you hear I’ve never experienced it working.

If you want a really big laugh have a root around on the No Tubes website where a nail goes into a tyre and (they reckon) it seals…. 8O

What is that for – incase you want to camp without permission?

Went to Italian Alps last week (Bardonecchia) and a) it snowed a lot there and b) they had lots of snow to begin with.

Had a great weeks skiing, reds and blacks, no off piste/back country although some available

Going to Cervinia at Easter also – snow reports fine at the mo

Never liked French skiing anyway 8O

Bit deep for a Friday (eve) there Simon…………. 8O

Uh?

So….no road riding

What else?

Got a road bike, but a bashed up mental state as had a couple of big accidents with cars in the last few years and decided to give up my road riding and racing as a result – only non-traffic venues for me I’m afraid

Mmmmmm……BMX, there’s a thought

You can go off some forum members you know…………. :twisted:

A big glug glug until it looks about right 8O

Plenty of good singletrack particualrly rideable on the doorstep around East / West Dean, Dean Hill, Farley and then down towards Alderbury & Downton – a good OS map will show you the tracks / trails. New Forest would be ok if you want a sandy, flat and featureless XC long ride. Really depends on how far you want to ride / travel…???

I use a Garmin 500 as a normal bike computer, plus it’s good for looking at where you have been.

I also use a Satmap Active 10 strapped to my top tube for new routes, as it has full OS map capability, with a reasonable screen so that I can either import a GPX file and follow a route already planned or I can navigate as per standard map. It’s very accurate, so even with thin, hidden trails it gets you where you need to be. I don’t use it all the time, suppose I could if I neeeded to to record some data but in my mind it’s not for that it’s more about it being a navigation aid.

Been right round the houses trying to find something that did both (ride data and decent OS mapping) and couldn’t get anything at all that would suit. I can’t comment on the new 800, all Garmins prior use their cra**y version of an os map as the base map and it’s right proper grim.

Cyclops Fluid – not sure on the price, but had mine for 3 years, used quite a lot and still going strong
