To everyone that has posted on this thread I would like to say a big thankyou.
wanmankylung – I totally agree, thanks for the post
Cheers everyone, I will be making calls and sending emails asap
Thanks all
P.S I will try and get some pics up if I can pull this off!!

Just posting so I can save this for later

Wow that is great.
Thank you so much. I will email you from home (I’m at work now)tomo lunchtime. I ride bikes quite a lot and to involve my boy would be awesome, for him and me! We are fortunate as his CP is quite mild, he attends mainstream school etc so no major issues, I know other kids with CP are not so fortunate.
Again thanks so much.
I noticed you said your Brother had CP?

Hi
My son has cerebral palsy and has quite limited movement. He is 13yrs old and would love to ride a bike, or experience it somehow, but unfortunately, due to his balance/limitations he is unable to do so. It mainly affects his legs but he has some issues with his left arm, also he was born with some digits missing from his left hand (to further compound his problems).
I am trying to think of ways to get him on a bike but have not thought of anything suitable yet. As you can imagine, with him being a teenager, he does not want to be in a towed buggy type thing.
Also we are on holiday when the BBB is on.
Any ideas??
Cheers

Northwind – grippier, mine slides all over when braking. Will look into a DHR2.
chakaping – cheers

Cheers pal – just what I wanted to hear

Just ordered a chunky monkey so will see!
mikewsmith – yeah I know its a compromise. Was just asking what people “Considered” a good front tyre, good responses though eh?

Hi
Ok sorry for not elaborating
Usual Calderdale/hebden MTB stuff
Nukeproof mega AM
Have got Rubber queens (black chilli) at present
Had some Minion 2.5’s for Alps but are a bit big & heavy for everyday stuff

I ride a Mega AM 160mm travel. Its fine with the 11-36t at moment. Whats the best way to fit chain? Big ring to big sprocket + 4 links without going through the mech?

micos145 and duff
My faves are the 2 blues and black from the Pleney.
Also the link up between Pleney and Les Gets is really fast and flowy. Anything in Les Gets is awesome.
In fact even the green from Les Gets to Nanchette (?) is ace.
Also Le Canyon black is very good – just be careful with the roots!!

Could I mention Elland and surrounding area, like stainland, greetland, barkisland?
Some lovely houses for sale and M62 is 2 mins from Elland.
Also great riding from your doorstep.
Deffo avoid Batley though..and Dewsbury….and Hecky. Just thinkin of living in Batley again really makes me sweaty

Or deep fried haggis!

Thought so!

” incompetent corporate cockrings “
I just proper laughed out loud at that!

nealglover
Sorry but am at work! just thought id ask
The gap is around 1/2 to 1 cm from the bottom of the tray to the first row of tiles. Poor workmanship but didn’t realise until I had to re seal it.

I also have to seal a shower tray but the gap is about 1cm all way around.
Are there any flexible corner strips that wide? I got one from B & Q but it didn’t fit.
Cheers

Nice one thanks!

British people are still weird about this, we go out to Morzine or whatever on everyday bikes and just get on with it but back in the UK there’s this big bold line between “What we do” and “Downhill” but it’s all cobblers.

Totally agree
I have one bike (its all I can afford) that I use for everything. 160mm travel so maybe bit too much for some local trails but annual Alps trip and Inners etc really push me. The bike will handle everything, think its down to the rider? Look at the world champs where riders are on 160mm/170mm travel bikes. One of my mates bought a DH bike for Alps trip last June, used it for 3 days out there and its sat in his garage till we go away this June!

worse than Conti barons (non black chilli) for death on roots?
Can they be used tubeless on ust rims?

Has anyone used the Performance Line versions?
Are they like non sticky versions?

I ride in and around Calderdale with occasional away days.
Have used Conti Barons, Minions, in the past but just fancy trying something new!

aah!!
That makes sense now, my Barons had “handmade in Germany” on them
Cheers guys

Young lad at my sons school is called Charlie Boy. Yup that’s his first name(s)

I spoke with on one who assured me they are the BC versions!

Fella who used to drink in my Dads local – Johnny Rocket. He was American and a lecturer at Bradford Uni, really cool guy too.

Couple who ran a pub in Ripponden – Derek & Derika!

Just seen some on On One website. £15.00 each and stated they are black chilli??
Is that right? Seems awfully cheap

Ok cheers for reply!

I got a reverb stealth for £195 using all the codes.
Got bleed kit, enduro collar, fluid etc, all boxed up nice.
Bargain

Excellent cheers

Excellent cheers

Wire beads. Yeah could try that!
Might just put tubes in and have done!
Cheers

You should see the stuff my 8yr old builds!!
He’s mad for Lego. We must have spent hundreds over the past few years. It really is awesome, helps young minds learn, co-ordinate, imagine, fine motor skills, the list goes on.

I agree but it means having to buy mineral oil etc. Might try top up 1st
Cheers
