You’re right

I know. I always am.

no need to backpedal, just learn from your mistakes and move on.

notable in part for the fact he’s leaning right forward

look properly.
“fact” is he is not leaning right forwards at all.
His weight is centred.
Exactly where your weight should be riding 5 or 6 straightforward steps with a nice smooth easy run out.

Why would anyone have a chameleon and a Stiffee?

was it the chip from Stu’s shoulder?

Alas, No.. still well and truly on there I see :roll:

I’d be the first to admit I’m completely out of touch with 29er hardtail pricing but is a bottom of the range rockshox fork, Deore drivetrain and Tektro brakes really all £750 gets you these days?

Dale Holmes won his last BMX World Championship aged 29 or 30. Yeah, a year or so later I do think I remember him saying “feel a bit of a fool rolling up on a BMX race bike” :roll:

I like pump tracks…strangely lots of fun on my fatty

No No No… Take your stupid GRINZ and GTFO! :twisted:

Vet 45+ ;)

Oooh.. I do hope so.

Still ride mine a few times a week. I’ve always prefered race/DJ geometry over street/park geometry so now that I don’t have any dirtjumps locally and rarely make it to the skatepark I’m riding a Haro Alu race bike.
Actually thinking about doing some racing this year as the Scottish BMX race scene is picking up again.

fascinating.

meanwhile.. ride your bicycle

Hand cramp could just as easily be an incorrectly adjusted fork or death gripping.

Only if you are weak. Unless I’ve missed something we are talking about a 2hr xc ride here.

Its such a rarity as a grown up, isn’t it?

Nope.

Cramp is caused by muscle fatigue.

Ride more.

my daughter rides her bike in roller skates. So yes.

I find the secret to not having a sweaty head is to not wear a helmet. Especially in the car.

I’ve always been a massive fan of Islabikes (we’ve had 4 so far) and have staunchly defended them but now I feel a little used.

Drama much?

CNOC 16 is possibly the ugliest premium kids bike I’ve ever seen.

apparently the pound shop are doing Hope hoops in 26″

alas the hill is full of steep, techy woodland descents but of the strict footpath type :-/

Oh.. Engerland? :'(

ha ha… Ace!! :D kinda gutted I’ve never seen this spectacle yet for myself.

Baffles me why you’d even contemplate messing around with your garden borders when you have a lovely hill ripe for building sweet trails and ragging your roper Reign on 100m or so away. :?

are tantrums as frequent in Enduro as DH?

It’s gonna be muddy. Should be interesting.

Was def “interesting” watching you 4 negotiate that last chute before the car park in the dry… :lol:

wish I could.

micro-me would love it, mini-me not so much :?

if you are thinking of entering another of these Sportives and happen to notice a HT cat. Do let me know.. quite fancy a bit of third party insurance covered mincer-skittles ;)

In 20 years racing I don’t think I’ve ever been sent a pre-race weather warning……until last night!

TBF 400 complete fairies racing minatureDH Sportives under the blanket disclaimer of “a day out with your mates” it is a fairly recent phenomenon..

CHEERS! :) sussed it out now.

I hated instagram, hopefully this will be far less faff.
anybody know if Strava will still show the location of pics taken during rides?

A very far forward positioned saddle will look rubbish no matter how you achieve it.

Luckily you can’t see just how rubbish while you’re riding so stop worrying about what others think

it does. click on your time and it should take you to the activity. so long as you chose the correct bike it will show there.
put the wind direction and speed in your description if you want to compare.

where is the new feature?

I can’t be arsed with instagram either

You crazy bridleway Radsters 8)

warton – Member

someone has never raced CX…give us a clue? is it you warton?

What’s the downs link? a bridleway? got any pics of this “beastie challenge”?
I honestly can’t tell if you’re seriously suggesting 20mph is fast.

Yes. I do agree it probably is best left at that. ;)

don’t bother.
armour is restrictive enough without waterproofs too.
just jetwash your kit afterwards to be kind to your washing machine.

get the CAAD. far easier to sell on than the Merida will be if you find it a bit dull.

.

sorry. You think bridleways suddenly become fun and interesting just because you ride them on a 35mm tyre on drops?

fair enough.. we all have different fun thresholds
