    iolo – Point Scethin I find to be more ‘hilly’ than mountain at least on one side. Cadair only gets really mountainous towards the top, lower down its all grassy singletrack on fairly gentle incline with some fire roads…but yes Cadair by its definition is a mountain.

    Prepare to heft your bike up some points on Idris, but the view from the top is great.

    Point Scethin is good too and you can get a pint at the Ysthgethin Arms.

    Neither are really AM I would have said though.

    Pace wouldn’t be my choice either…but it is supposed to have a 142×12. Would Stanton’s do you know.

    Would very much like a Stanton ti…but credit card and wife say no.

    Really sorry to hear OP. Must admit the new billboard ads are giving me the willies…so will be attempting to give up yet again.

    All best to you and yours.

    Pace have one going into production. I’d expect the Stanton to be quite weighty going by the slackline.

    Forgot to say when you say SLX brakeset…that may not mean the rotors are. My old bike came with SLX ‘brake set’ but the rotors were RT51 resin only.

    Moses basket/crib for several months in your room is recommended by health professionals…then kick them into touch in their own room with a cotbed. Good luck….my one year seems to have sleep disorder…he just doesn’t 🙁

    I’ll keep paying my £2 a month mainky for the forum and a very narrow chance I’ll win something some day.

    Read the bits you like and skip the ones you dont…especially if you’re short of time standing in WH Smiths.

    Used to like him when he first started…”get your fresh veg from you local grocer”, “always buy local”, “avoid supermarkets”…and then goes all Sainsburys (and this was before a recession)..f’in hypocrite.

    Every one has prejudices, conciously or not.

    I was asked a strange question by one of my younger kids about whether racism extended to people with ginger hair, or people with different coloured eyes from her.

    I told her that i would still love her even if she was a red head 😉

    Depends on how well trained the dog is. My lab/springer cross is fantastic on walks but out on a trail…not so sure. He’d spend more time trying to climb trees chasing squirrels than running beside me and the bike!!

    Without the VIN they would be hard pressed to clone it. Probably just wanted to HPI it.

    Had nightmares with my Reverb…now running 2 LEVs

    Hold on…why will it cost you £100? I thought the remote kits were £40-£50?

    As Spiky says, you’ll need the green V5C/2 green slip and possibly need to complete a V62 Registration application form (but not sure if this has changed since all the DVLA Local Office closed this year and the PO/DVLA Swansea now doing everything) and a V10 Licence application form, along with insurance and MOT.

    As you are the new owner/registered keeper I don’t think you can do this on-line.

    For God’s sake, before a few things before handing over your money….

    If the deal is too good to be true…it probably is!

    Check the V5C for the VIN (Vehicle Identification No. 17 digits long) and then check this against the VIN plate (or sticker depending on vehicle make/model) and the ‘stamped in’ VIN located on the vehicle.

    Most vehicle have different fonts and possibly security markings before and after the no.

    Make sure you get both keys and that the V5C has the appropriate watermarks.

    The amount of cloned vehicles I have come across and the unwitting buyers over the years losing all there money has been outstanding and in some cases really upsetting (an old couple spending what little savings they had to only find the car impounded and taken off them was the worse).

    Think Nortwind made a good call of fitting a 22t and putting the chain on by hand at the bottom of a really steep climb. Noisy but potentially effective.

    As per DaveWalsh.

    You can check pinkbike too as I got a new Hope lower off there for £20.

    Hope you’ve got a set of black pikes to go with it…cant wait to see one running them, it will look awesome!

    Making cheeky trails = good. Making straight lines to cut corners = bad.
