thats whats worrying me – going by endura clothes – its difficult to tell what a large/xl actually is!

thats a tricky one – cos id suggest pedals. personally id just take everything off give it a clean – re-lube and rebuild.

does it not say on the post?

i just roll up a bit of paper and use it as a funnel

went for my first ride on mine over the weekend. i tie wrapped the lever to the bars over night before the ride – and that just about got rid of all the spongy feeling. the rest of the spongyness had gone within 25mins!

great breaks and the stock pads were good too. i actually like the look of them whcih is a bonus!

nice one – im off for my first dusk/almost night ride tomoro! my light are a bit feeble so it’ll be interesting!

i got a stanley one from b&q – big bugger with reinforced steel body. quite cheap too

yep we had loads around here – still quite a bit knocking about too – should be ok higher up, but low levels could be a bit soggy!, depends on how cold it stays and if the snow lasts

try pauls cycles

anyone at all~?

beer tasting weekend near some good trails?

Mike – i have a jacket spud off him at least twice a week! they are good spuds!

i just work at the bottom of the moor and we have some posh london types coming up so the boss doesnt want to go around that area, eccy road being more acceptable!

just tap it down and add another on top. doesnt exactly weight a ton!

anywhere got deals on ‘dales or iron horse?

i was thinking online mainly, sunset looks to have quite a good range

just gonna say – take the fella some biccies or a couple of pints and it’ll sort most problems out!

ive seen it too mate – it is unusually bright!

el bandido, just ride as much as poss, and make the most of the full days you have. thats all i’ll be doing for my 3 day ride in scotland over easter.

yeah i ride it (steadily) anyway – so all good in my book

im 6ft 3 and i always go for large frame size, big enough to ride ‘properly’ but small enough to have some fun on. dunno about the trance specifically though

is that a rip in them? if so – and it wasnt mentioned then send the bu99ers back! dont look too used though tbh

the key is to use some inner liner gloves as well as your normal winter gloves. makes a big difference

my 2.2 mtn kings were the worst tyres ive ever ridden without a doubt.

nip down b&q and have a look, just get thin ones and you’ll be fine

hi,

i asked the quetsion a few months back – and most people said they were like HFX9s – reliable/powerful b ut not much modulation.

just buy the proper tool, cost about £8 off ebay and saves loads of hassle. its false economy bodging it, you wont be able to use/sell the headset again, plus you have it for future jobs

some epic pics there simon, love em. i like the captions too – especially ‘deep impact’ ha ha 😆

a fair couple of inches in the peaks!!

wont you get hammered by the tax man?

they’ll roll over and give in any moment now,

theres one or two on top of kinder scount – you can buy books on the air wrecks in some tourist info centres – or the walking shop at bamford garden centre

you might as well have a pop at it, especially since youve got a full floater if you need it!

the relaiblity of the pace/dt swiss forks has always worried me – especially for the money. you thought about the new 09 revs? 140mm and they seem very solid. i love mine, and they arent even the QR15 version

trek remedy? might be tricky to find frame only though

ive jsut finished building a rigid commute/winter/mess about bike from spares and its lots of fun. had a practice run over houndkirk moor t’other day. definately different but not bad, took some getting used to after my hardtail with 140mm forks on!

its also v-braked up (old school DX!) and 1.95 tyres! it felt bloody fast now i think about it!

roll on dusty trails!

yeah i’d do it, just do the training if you dont want to actually fight. bag work / weights etc – always appeals to me

bastids. good luck mate,

ltd edition rolex?

ive just read somewhere they have a lot of sugar in em, and if youre having one or two a day, it soon adds up. and becuase its highly refined it isnt exactly a health suppliment.
