mine are velcro straps, didn't come with any other mounts.

do you know what, i would pay the money but how do you know that the feed is going to be good quality? i know mine is 'intermittent' and before anyone says no its not my connection because thats the only page i have issues with.

Its always a reality check having a big crash, but at the end of the day we do it because we get an adrenalin rush otherwise we/i wouldn't do it. Glad to hear you're OK though, good job you were wearing that helmet otherwise bottom line, you wouldn't be here now.

As for the NHS i totally agree, my mate has a smash at whinnlatter, headfirst into the floor. Turned up at Carlisle hospital who rushed him through and we were out (with him stitched up) in three hours! Top service.

They won't build with black spokes though

Eh? why?

hasn't something similar been done by shimano 20 years ago? it was called a freewheel sprocket :roll:. Plus will it shift as well as shimano? doubt it.

switchback cycles is near by isn't it? Good mate of mine has that shop and has a good mechanic, maybe worth a try if your not sure.

two intresting facts there for me (yes i'm a bit geeky). First the SPD ratio, higher thani would have thought for some reason, a secondly the neck brace thing. I would have thought this is another means of generating sponsorship money if nothing else? oh yes and then there's the 'not breaking your neck thing', wonder if dan atherton had one on?

i reckon 2.5 highroller st's 😉

i went a month or so ago and it was fine.

I will be there, probably with chucky 8)

There was a brief mention of a swampthing, has anybody else tried them? I'm thing of 2.35 ST front and 60a rear rans tubeless?

Or do we still reckon Mud X are better? especially tubeless?

Post ride pints? Stupid idea. Never done it, never wanted to. Beer is the last thing you want after a ride

but it does taste good 😆

i've subscribed 8)

Interested in this, so basically portion size doesn't matter? and just cook with the items that are listed in the plan?

And this diet can be done alongside excercise? i say that as i cycle to work 25 miles a day 4 days a week.

The main reason for me wanting to try this diet is that i'm not loosing any weight while doing this. I would like to try and get a bit leaner than my 15 1/2 stone i am at the moment 🙄

don how do i contact you? about this diet? what is it?

sorry what's this diet?

salmon and steamed veg! diet is in earnest Ton! 😆

I have the roof solution and i like it. Only notice decrease in fuel econ on long runs and its dead easy getting them on and off. Horses for courses though.

Wish i'd got the aero bars though, i got he std ones because i'm tight 🙄

As far a driving into stuff then that just stupidity and lack of concentration. Just as a quick add on i've also seen people reverse into stuff with bikes on the back 😯

no worries 8)

150mm is used on downhill/freeride frames usually to avaoid the 'dishing' of the rear wheel and therefore building in to a stronger wheel. There is a new 142 mm std coming in now but that has only just been launched.

std 135mm

test riding a santa cruz blur lt carbon 8)

i went down my local(ish) shop and they even did a bit of a deal on price, always worth a try!

I went one size up ( from a 44 to a 45) and they are perfect. I wear normal cycling socks inside them too not warm thick things. don't need to.

is it out tonight dave? looking forward to seeing it if so

cheers omar

big shake down ride up Rivvy

eh?

nice dave, very nice 🙂

how do they ride? i tried it on a downhill bike years ago and lets say its did not work

nice one! local too so if anyhting goes wrong you haven't far to go. All worked out well then!

is it built yet Dave? where dis you get it from?

I think this has to end here really. All people (including me) were saying was that we appreciated what volunteers and the FC had done with what they had to work with, in fact more than that they had created something that was worth talking about 😉

the more trails we have to ride the better, surely you agree with that 8)

I think this post is a wind up, has to be 🙄

all the locals do ride over that way then they are no riders in my opinion just a bunch of wannabe mtb extreme riders

are you for real? you get this upset over riding a trail? best calm down lad you'll do yourself a mischief 🙄

ONe of the main reasons i started mountainbiking (in 93)

I'm not going to bother reading the majority of posts on here because i don't quite understand them. Trail centres will never have the appeal of an awesome lakes or peaks trail. But what they are very useful for is for riding in crap condidtions or riding with people who are still finding there feet in mtb'ing. You can head out and baring mechanicals, know exactly what time you are going to back and in most cases do as much or as little as you like with facilities to get changed and buy and overpriced coffee 😉

And lets not forget the amount of work that has gone in by volunteers, I for one commend them on what they've done and for what its worth i think its an excellent trail that is easy worth the 1-1 1/2 drive that i have to get the there.

Interesting this as my dad was the one to set up the plastics factory to produce these in the 90's in the North East. The tyres were rubbish and i mean rubbish. They were not fit for any purpose. They were far too hard (even though they played around with the air content in the platic) for any use and had major issues with 'rolling off' the rim. borderline unsafe. 😯

Trust me, get some decent puncture resistant tyres and some tubes, I have on my commuter.

composite! ha ha i think it maybe those expensive bearings i put in 🙄

We'll see i'm generalising until i take the back end to bits, maybe that the bolts aren't at the correct torque.

yep, gives me time to sort out that creaky pivot 🙄

may need to change one of the bearings

I knew it wouldn't be long before chucky commented on that ha ha
