Will super tacky make a big difference on the back in terms of grip?

I imagine a week in italy if its hot will destroy a ST.

DH, lift/uplift assisted in UK and Italy.

Thanks. I’ll just get 2RS as they seem easier to find.

No. The unshielded end is on the internal side so I guess no dirt really gets in there.

I completely agree. The stanes are (imo) the best trail centres in the UK and it only cost a couple of quid for parking. I think that is a bargain.

TT – yes – they are excellent waitresses.

Particularly the blonde one!

Don’t pay until your sure its legit.

A few of us were there a month ago and we went to both. The new place is far better than the hub imo. The staff are friendly, food is very good and the facilities are miles better plus they have free wifi.

This is insane, how can I resist.

Excellent, that’s about my limit!

How does the road drop compare to the drop off at glentress?

Its a pair of Skins tights so only a small item.

I emailed CRC last night and had a response this morning – wait 7 working days then contact CRC and they will chase it up. I think that’s fair and impressed by the quick response.

That’s not what I wanted to hear. had the same thing with amazon (twice) and they refund you if it hasn’t arrived in a certain time even if its good old Royal Mails fault.

They are sealed bearings so will change them – anyone know the code?

Also bit annoying that campag have a difference cassette tool to shimano!

The wheels are off an old bike so will check tonight.

Banana & bacon – amazing.

No one?

I use workouts from the tracx website on mine, not sure how compatible they will be with your turbo but I think they should work. Gives you an objective and makes it more interesting.

Tacx training programmes

Anyone know if you can put 160mm forks on this bike?

Kato you might want a larger chainring!

34-16 here seems about right for my commute.

Bargain, already got a black one but definitely ordering a coloured one. Blue or red?

We’ll see what happens tonight. I’ve got some earplugs but don’t really like using them although I think I’ll have to.

I don’t think its a noise complaint issue, just would expect a bit of courtesy really.

When we moved into the house our neighbour was an elderly lady, never heard a peep from her.

Poor house deign really, why have the two master bedrooms sharing a wall.

vinnyeh – If you don’t have anything useful to say then can you please refrain from childish remarks.

Not a troll just wanted to see if this was normal behaviour from the kid and hear some of your experiences.

They chose to have a kid so not much sympathy with the parents to be honest.

I’ve not spoken to them much but they don’t seem like bad parents but it would be good of them to ask if it was disturbing us or just move the kid to the room farthest away from our house.

The hammering was this morning, if it 7.20am on a weekend I’d be having words.

Once you start using the lifts I doubt you;ll be doing much climbing!

Thanks, I’ll keep a lookout on BM for local rides.

Do these north Leeds rides ever start in north Leeds? ie. Moortown, Roundhay etc?

Moonglu in Ripon is excellent, 12 miles away though.

Dakine Highwire

Had the same noise with my rear shock bottoming out. Check the bolts that mount the shocks and just replace if bent.

Not sure the Malolo is a all terrain freestyle board.

Been looking at reviews all afternoon and leaning to the Salomon Official. The only thing that puts me off is the 3 straight edges instead of a curved sidecut.

Thats the one. Want to try something different if I’m honest although I have seen a few of last years Agents around the £300 mark.

Whats the Slayblade like at high speed carving, buttering and in powder?

Actaully got a 2007 Rome Agent but bought it second hand off a sponsored rider so only used it in the snowdomes (rails) and powder as the edges were pretty blunt. Seemed like a great board and its on my list. Think the Anthem might be a bit too freeride, no doubt its a great board though.

I’d for for about a 3-4mm to start with. I usually use the smallest guard but occasionally go with no guard. Its pretty easy to do yourself just go steady and repeat a lot, especially the back.

Toppeak mountain or mini morph.

Yeah, if you pump it a few times the oil comes out. Hardest thing is pressing the seals in place all the way, requires some force. The rest is easy, I just followed the service manual on the fox website.
