Ha! Yes, always keep to rule 1.
I’ve been a Cycling UK off-road volunteer and Local Access Forum member so have seen some of the issues.

Cheers for that. I’ve joined the FB group.
I can see some of those routes on the map, but not sure if they’re footpaths. What’s the general attitude to off-road biking around there?

Hi,

Thanks for your message. I’ve linked some pics now below. What do you reckon?

Trying again with the close up pics; paint removed:

I got new for old and costs for treatment of the whiplash injury. I was lucky not to be more seriously injured. The frame was reckoned to be written off as potentially unsafe.
I used Cycling UK’s lawyers who were brilliant and working through the claim over some months.

Hi, Thanks! looking it up again Canyon Nerve AM is advertised as 7005 alloy chassis.
I’ve got a good pic but don’t remember how to post on here . I did post on FBk: MTB BRADFORD

I bought the Superstar kit and found it great for occasional use

I didn’t find much good off-road near Falmouth in the months we were there last year, though the roads were Ok; a few BPs and quiet FPs to link. Coast path would have have been good in places but mostly too busy, narrow or not easily rideable.
The Falmouth 4x dirt park at Goldenbank was handy once you find the way in through the Pennance Mill caravan park, turn right and up the hill.

I did the bridleway over the hill from Arncliffe to Kettlewell last week after the rain cleared (for a few hours, ha ha). Great to get up top for a clear wet run down. It was only when I got to the old farm that I saw the bike was entirely covered in green sticky stuff, not the usual brown. Lucky to find a waterfall to sluice most of it off and get the gears to work again before hitting the flicky faster sections. Shaun and pals strike again.

POC Tectal. Std, not Race; Race has a dubious goggle strap at the back and different colours. M is good fit me 59cm.

I got the link from CRT via Bradford Council, so will be legit.
“We are currently undertaking a survey of our towpath users and would like to know more about your experience of using our canals.

The survey can be found at the following link – and it would be great if you could take 5 minutes to run through the questions.

Your feedback will be used to inform some of our actions and activity over the course of the next year around our important Share the Space, Drop your Pace campaign. Please also feel free to share further amongst your own networks.

I agree there is in this an undercurrent that cycling is some sort of a problem, but like many above I’m not standing for that. It comes up as a rather snide aside in Local Access Forum meetings from time to time too.
I’ve not had specific problem with anglers or bikes going too fast, though I heard of one large fast MTB group bellowing “Coming through!” at blind pinch under a bridge; not good. It’s more the occasional meandering stroller or dog walker I’ve found.
It is important that our voice is heard so it would good if folks do have a go at the survey before 20 Jan 2017. £50 at Wiggle…

If anyone wanted to adapt my main feedback waffle below, please feel free (just don’t ask me to justify it all!).

“Canal towpaths are important amenities for encouraging walkers and cyclists for commuting and leisure and in reducing car use; which is is a essential for protecting the environment and reducing pollution.
Sharing the space safely and efficiently while giving maximum enjoyment to all does mean that all users should be aware of other’s needs, including ensuring free passage to overtake in both directions. Encouraging traffic to keep to one side or the other would help in narrow or busy areas and reduce speed-related conflict, such as it really exists (incidents tend to overplayed by most incumbent user groups I have found).
Dog walkers should ensure their animals are under close control at all times and avoid using a long lead that stretching across the path, which can be a hazard to all. Anglers should keep their poles well way from the path.
Cyclist and runners do need to be mindful that that another’s perception of what is a safe passing speed or distance may be slower or wider than their own. People should expect to feel safe, as well as being so. Finally, a gentle word of warning is preferable for most people to a bell.”

There is now an enforcement notice in place to cease this unauthorised work. This was a joint effort from the city council and Baildon town council.

http://baildontowncouncil.gov.uk/reservoir.php

We at Friends of Baildon Moor have now submitted our detailed objections to this planning proposal for Acre Reservoirs. We believe this reflects the feeling of the public and wider friends as expressed over some time, to the effect that a housing development such as this is entirely inappropriate here.
The full text can seen on the BMDC planning web page.

Please make your voice heard too:

Done.

Not sure that I can answer the question about the seatpost length in detail but I can recommend the model & year, see my other posts on the Canyon Nerve.

Yes, wish list & years of order history still not restored desite promises.
See their FB pages for comments & responses from their IT Director.

The almost quibble-free returns they did is a problem right now too (other post on RF chain ring).

Buying now from Wig. Petra, Merlin & All Terrain (LBS) .

Just replaced my xx 11-36 after 2 years. Merlin had best price but still 189 notes…

Pretty sure you’d need a 10sp chain but rest should be Ok.

Assuming the crazing/crackling is just the paint it looks all right for you to ride.

Prawny, what are the iPhone options you mean?

As well as action shots, might be go for rolling commuting evidence.

I did see a big air loss when I left the seat down. Pumped up again & its all fine.

I had a DTSwiss hub OEM AM1700 for Canyon where the freebub barrel began to rotate within the ratchet piece thingy . It was a clintch fit only. New hub in steel ok now but a poor design. Needed higher torque, got worse in the cold & was hard to track down.

Interesting. I’ve a MRP bash guard too.
Would a tight chain or wrong chain line stress that tooth more?
I’m open to an explanation other than the ring design.

I tried all practcial size of spacers on the cable point on the Shimano but could not get the range that I needed in top & bottom ring. An extension bar that made the arc longer might do it but that would be too much.

Swapped out this Shadow+ for an X0 Type II and everything is fine now.
Shifting is fantastic and worked first time. It is more exposed to rocks than the Shadow but fitted one of those M-part protectors to the axle quick release which helps.

Did have to replace the XX cassette tho as the big ring 36t was worn. Replacements for the ring is another thread…..

Bump

Ah and argh…

Cheers DONK

Humm, didn’t pop up just now on a £79.99 spend….
Was it time limited?

Soz, got a rehearsal in Baildon Club ( in fact opposite Ian Clough car park) Band/open Mic night Friday there. Every 2 weeks (FYI its every fortnight- see Facebook Live at the Lounge)

Do have a look at the Friends of Baildon Moor website & the Information for Users.
Facebook pg too.

Plantar facitis? Really sore & didn’t respond to much IME

Mike,
Yes, really like the X0.
When the X0 RD was trashed, figured Shadow & clutch was the way to go.

WL, yes that why didn’t go XTR. Its rocky in West Yorks. Now the rear gear cable takes the pain…

There is the clamp clap shim mod that I could try:

Cheers Mike.
But that is an “Oh b*gger.” moment.
So need to swap at least the RH shifter. Whats on a par with X0 then?

Very happy still with Shimano Mt81 one size up (42 to 32). Ace.

Hi all,
So got a RD-M786 CS from CRC. Question is now is the X0 10sp shifter incompatible with this Shimano RD?

Fitted new (Gore) cables. No installation instructions but there is some info on the web; its straightforward once you see that the angle on on the B-link is so that it butts up to the hanger flange.

Messed on for ages with limit & B screws but still can NOT get cable movement wide enough for chain to stay on the largest (36T) cog and shift down to the smallest (11). This is regardless of large or small front chain ring. Might take off chain guide wheels too but pretty sure its a cable issue.

Is the X0 10sp shifter range incompatible with this Shimano RD?

Double post

Heh, nice to see this In my back yard!
Keep posting. I’ll make it when I can.

Cheers,

New online contact form was misbehaving too so had to email direct: customerservice@chainreactioncycles.com

That’s not now visible on the web site; so might want to keep that for reference… 😉

I’m using Chrome and have also lost order history & wish list; just when I wanted to reorder.
Didn’t get any warning of this “upgrade”, though I expect it will all be better soon.
Have emailed CService.
